I hopped in my car I drove for 3 days headin' out to California because I hear its a really nice place :) so I hopped in my car I drove for 4 days going back to Florida South Beach , MIA All those actors and those actresses they fade the hollywood hills are burning up in flames they'll probably go and blame it all on the climate change the world's getting hotter and you're catching sun rays **Did you know carbon dioxide levels are higher today than they have been in the last 800,000 years. Ancient Paleoclimate EVIDENCE reveals that current warming is occuring roughly 10 times faster than the average rate of ice age recovery warming** - NASA so I hopped in my car I drove for 5 days going back to New Jersey Ma says I got a place to stay :) All those actors and those actresses they fade the hollywood hills are burning up in flames they'll probably go and blame it all on the climate change the world's getting hotter and you're catching sun rays

Spice is in the bathroom high on smack his mom and dad dont want him to come back he gets locked up all the time and he's got a bunch of felonies his next court date is at the very end of January Hes looking at a solid 5 to 10 No lawyer wants to represent him He violates paroles His only shot of hope is to detox 30 days, go find god, and get off dope. But you dont care... You walk right past them everyday. But you like to stare at people wasting life away what makes you think it cant be you you're not so innocent the world wont bow down to your magnificence you got that ooo la la that special je ne sais quoi but nothing means anything except true love...

A dog a cat a sewer rat A gun a knife a baseball bat A lion a clown an acrobat the climb. the walk. the fall. the splat! The blood the crime the witnesses the judge the jury the innocent the kids their eyes they wont take back the unexpected death of an acrobat. Around she goes.... Its always one for the money two right for the show I threw up in a brown paper bag they wiped up all the blood off that old gym mat I watched my hero go and break his back But now he's dead and gones and that is that I can still see the trapeze His fingers were so slippery He must've fell 100 feet there was a hole cut in his trampoline they never caught the guy its still a mystery

I see the red blue green the yellow orange violet beam of indigo when the sun goes down where do all my colors go? I'm falling in a dream theres a hole in my trampoline I fell right thru I've been here before In some kinda de ja vu You call me a dog so what? I have had enough, I've had enough so shutup and kick rocks! he spits he curses he drinks all day only smokes cigarettes when hes got cocaine. Such a shame. He was such a helluva guy you know thats what they'd say. He spits he curses he lies and he steals likes to roll his luck on the roulette wheel such a shame he was such a helluva guy you know thats what they'd say just like the rain goes somewhere under my rainbow

Well there's this place that ya gotta go San Junipero Such a lovely place where you dont get old. Right after you download. Hold me baby I don't want to die. I want to dance tonight. I now determine the right place and time. When my body loses it's mind. Into the screen we all drown... You cant see cuz you're looking down...

Idiocracy 03:30
Im a pioneer of a modern age. There is no past there is no future it's all the same. The time is always now. (x 8) I'm a pioneer of a modern age. I learn from the past and I learn from the future and it's all the same. The more and more I read the more and more I see and I start to believe in Idiocracy just look at that pig in the throne it's no ones fault but our own :( I.D.I.O.C.R.A.C.Y.

I'm starting to think there are some adverse effects of us all eating breathing and sleeping on the internet. Everything is slowly turning into porn. No wonder no bodies getting married any more. All the girls and boys talk about white noize as they all dance around their cakes oh where do they go from here it shouldn't be too clear and that's the point they make Ok? Into the screen everybody drowns yo they cant see! Because they're looking down. I apologized, I dried my eyes, I even got on one knee I said I'm sorry I get even though i didnt even really do anything Its hard to feel bad when you cant cry its hard to feel bad when you dont know why. Into the screen everybody drowns Yo they cant see! ...because they're looking down.

When I die I'm going to throw the biggest house party. I'm going to invite all my friends and family members that died way before me. I cant still hear they're drinking song. They're probably still rockin' out all night long with all those dead celebrities. (I just met Elvis) Angels will be doing drugs made of gold. Did they die in heaven from an overdose? It was a good life I'm going to be alright. I wanna go to sleep and let those angels carry me to choirs in the sky where they're singin' la da la da la.....
