When Momma’s not home I wanna get wasted I’ll probably pop all her pills in the medicine cabinet When Daddies not home I wanna get twisted Probably drink his secret stash and later lie about it Fast Forward 20 years and I’m still living in the basement I’m probably still selling health insurance over the phone… I’m getting old and I know I gotta face it Aint no growing up when you’re playing rock and roll We all got 8 times to die It makes a cat more wise Let me tell you about the first three times I went to the other side The first time I died I lived to 105 I later came back as a child who had gotten buried alive The third time a drunk driver got me thru a red light Flying in a school zone, doing 80 in a 25 Oh when tragedy strikes Right after a good time I want to be feline. I want to lose my mind. Lots and lots of bad inventions Hell was paved with good intentions Some noteworthy others not enough to mention. A self-obsessed self-deprecate Another know-it-all-full-of-shit For such a big ego such a passive prick When I find myself at a costume party wearing nothing Call me artsy. Nobody told me that the party would be like this…

I’ll take a Taylor Ham Egg & Cheese… Put some salt, pepper, ketchup on it please They’re always mad at us for killing little piggies but I bet you vegans never had a Taylor ham egg & Cheese How could you be out of all the everything bagels?! How could you be out of all the asiago bagels?! How could be be out of all the pumpernickel bagels?! How could you be out of all the salt bagels?!

Give me a high five Hit me on down low Meet me in the middle You’re too slow. Psyche! Hahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahha I lick my pinky and I stick it right in your ear. (Wet willie) I flush your head in the toilet and I watch it spin (give you a swirlie) But I’m not the bully they try to make me out to be Lots of stories but I know they’re fantasy I’m not a villain. I’m not a monster. I’m not a Saint. I’m not a Martyr. Im just some punk from New Jersey.

Tin Foil Hat 02:23
Firefighting in Reverse just looks plain evil. They’ll throw ya in the back of the big black hearse Even when you’re still breathing… They’ll cut the brake line as you go downhill! They’ll short circuit all your landing gear. Now I’m pretty sure Zuckerberg is listening to me I’m pretty sure my bank is making pretty pennies everytime I breathe everytime I cough and sneeze. Achoooo! Cash rules everything around me well what can you do? We can make Jeff Bezos Pay. Apple just wants slaves. Netflix could spare the change. Spotify owes us a check. Google wants your brain. Big Money wants to take us out They want to turn us all into cows and batteries I saw the Matrix! No way! It does not end up okay. Fear the monopoly! Big Money wants to take us out They want to turn us all into cows and batteries Mooo….mooooo….moooooooo…..mooooooooooooo I feel so safe in my tin foil hat I’m going to get the last laugh for sure!

Money Tree 03:54
I’m late on my rent again. I spent all my savings. Can I stay? Anyway? Can you just spot me again? You know I’m good for it man. Im good for it mannnnnn I wish this stuff just grew on trees I hope they do eventually I’d have no worries under my money tree. Dollar and cents are falling like the leaves Sailing on a golden sea. I’d be so happy under my money tree. You’re always late on my rent again. But I always see you partying… So why can’t you pay? You think this stuff just grows on trees? Little boy, you’re living a dream. I want to live that dream. I’d have no worries under my money tree

When I was a kid I was a teenage grave robber I went digging up the bones of my dead little brother he never had no friends and I said I’d be there to the end! it was my last wish to Him on his death bed. What a good brother I am. What lies beneath a hole six foot deep? A crack of a smile over broken teeth. In a jar I keep his heart lots of jars of body parts in a jar I keep his heart lots of jars of body parts. What a good brother I am.

Snakesss 02:46
I’m tired…so tired…last night I didn’t get to sleep. I had such a horrible dream these snakes in my head done killed all my sheep. Now I really don’t think that’s right…how would you know if you don’t asssssssk? So slick I slither I sneak into the night stick out my tongue as I slip down a slippery slide. Snakes in my head.

Walking around in some shitty shoes… Well I aint broke I’m just lazy I’ve been feeling down but I don’t got the blues…. But I aint exactly tickle-me-pink I’m not sad…no…I refuse… But I aint exactly tickle-me-pink I don’t care enough to do Very much of anything Why would I leave my bed? When Im safe from the outside I can’t do it again It’s so boring outside I’ve been wondering about cha Been wondering how’d ya Go and get away from me I know I hurt you on the 3rd of June but you damn nearly killed me What does it matter cause here we are after wondering was it even you or me what does it matter cause here we are after wondering and wondering Why would I leave my bed? Im safe from the sunshine I can’t do it again my heart can only break one time 1 time 2 time 3 times 4 Ya Broke my heart and now theres nothing more 1 time 2 time 3 times 4 Fell out my chest and right onto the floor 1 time 2 time 3 times 4 Now I find myself walking to the liquor store 1 time 2 time 3 times 4 Now I think I’m happy but I don’t know what for….

Lovelessness 05:38
I saw my girl Sitting up in that tree K I S S I N G on someone who’s not me I didn’t cry (He cried He cried) I did not cry (he lies he lies) Those aren’t tears in both my eyes… Both my eyes… :( Love is so mean. It’d probably kick a little puppy. Maybe even take a swing at a little baby. I believe that love would push the elderly down the stairs just because it thinks it’s funny. Love is the nail that makes the blackboard screech Love sounds so bad it makes both my ears bleed Love is the cold when there is no heat Love sits and smiles as you freeze. We took a drive back to my hometown We both went driving around. She whispered in my ear after we made out. She’s happily married and “oh so sorry it didn’t work out…” Love is so mean. It’d probably kick a little puppy. Maybe even take a swing at a little baby. I believe that love would push the elderly down the stairs just because it thinks it’s funny. Love is the nail that makes the blackboard screech Love sounds so bad it makes both my ears bleed Love is the cold when there is no heat Love sits and smiles as you freeze. She’s pullin’ pedals off my dandelion and always love me not. Oh loves me not. She’s like my blood flowing underneath she always ends up back to my heartbeat.
