BREADWINNER

You are no breadwinner
You will not wear a crown
Someday someone is going to own you
make you put your ego down
Maybe you’ll find it’s a woman
who laps you each other turn
or maybe it’s just a man who knows better
requires you to deal with the burn

So you’re a man, who wears it on his sleeve
trust me to believe, the scene unfolds
the room swallows it down
Maybe it’s just me and my sensitive way
like my mother feels the pain
so far away from where you think you stand

Bend down to me
and you will start to see how bright
the road ahead can gleam
bleak are the chapters
facing your ass as you walk straight by
one step ahead of your past

Go on out and kill your dinner
and feed from food till your right
But either way don’t you go and grow hungry
cause your pride can’t feed your belly
and your head each night.
Plagued by lack of ambition
and words that come from the bed
You sell yourself short to the lowball offer
then go home and play pretend

So you’re a man, who wears it on his sleeve
trust me to believe, the scene unfolds
the room swallows it down
Maybe it’s just me and my sensitive way
like my mother feels the pain so far away
from where you think you stand

Bend down to me
you might start to see how bright
the road ahead can gleam
Bleak are the chapters
facing your ass as you walk straight by
one step ahead of your past
two steps ahead of your past

It’s clear you long for what i’ve got
like the stubborn seed glares at the dirt all night
Just get in the garden
Leave unpardoned heartaches behind

Bend down to me
you will start to see how bright
the road ahead can gleam
there’s dirt on the windows
facing your ass as you walk straight by
one step ahead of your past
two steps ahead of your past.

about

Benyaro Jackson, Wyoming

From the dank depths of the Brooklyn subways to the spiritually orgasmic heights of Jackson Hole WY, Ben Musser's indie roots project BENYARO carves a unique path w 1 rule: make great art. Honest, vulnerable shit. Neil Jenny once told Ben "In order to create something truly unique 1 must shut out the influence of others". If anything, here's a killer contemporary artists' advice applied to music. ... more
