Petrified Life and the Twice Told Joke (Decrepit Bricks) |
I walk on decrepit bricks |
And kick sticks and rusty soda cans |
Simply for lack of better stimulation |
Motivation comes and goes like gas station patrons |
So sedation compensates for unexpected vacations |
(Thank you) |
That’s my pre-gratitude |
Post-please leave me alone that’s just my rude attitude |
No dysfunction flip side, I’m just your ordinary citizen |
They’re waiting patiently for me to sin again, but then again (shit…) |
I’m really mommy’s little angel |
But that angel on my shoulder got strangled |
For trying to tangle with his nemesis he caught him on the wrong day |
And got cut like DJs spinning doubles -(let the fucking song play) |
I’m on my way to the store |
Ignoring the city to purchase a pack of Marb reds |
With a stack of rolled pennies |
I could go for Denny’s, and my stomach holds plenty |
But my pockets got holes, I guess the goal is to stay empty… |
Quite simply put, me and my pockets share interest |
I’ll never fall in love with that pretty green-eyed temptress |
Twice (yeah right) |
I learned my lesson the first time |
I just couldn’t keep up with that ever-changing Jordan line of foot apparel |
Parallel to many clones, my eye’s vision monochromes |
With seven shades and twenty tones |
Plus I breath artistic, they eating everything I’m feeding them |
Put myself in every painting and use my spit as mat medium |
And results of my children |
We share the same genes |
Cast the same reflection and interpret the same dreams |
Like whoa |
Like whoa |
Like whoa |
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa |
And at night, I roam these streets with absolutely no purpose |
Feeling like I’m worthless |
But contrary to my last statement, I feel fine |
Content with the fact that I know this city’s mine |
And at night, I roam these streets with absolutely no purpose |
Feeling like I’m worthless |
But contrary to my last statement, I feel fine |
Content with the fact that I know this city’s mine |
I walk down dead end streets like I didn’t see the sign |
Just to turn around and walk back |
That’s fine and dandy, but what’s whack is the fact I’m still walking |
…like «Thank god for walkmans» |
I’m only yawning cause these simply minded |
Mortals make me sleepy |
So what do I do? |
I resort to TV |
In the seemingly lousy attempt to numb myself |
With lackluster images |
And insignificant information like «Willis was really Ty Bridges» |
Just to have the upper hand in monotonous conversation, |
And for lack of better stimulation |
I’m painting portraits of dysfunctional families |
With gloomy faces rockin' |
«Don't Worry, Be Happy"t-shirts, and you’re assuming I’m tasteless? |
You misconstrue it but your babies will embrace it |
The basic essentials of a very bitter young man |
That kicks rusty soda cans |
And walks on decrepit bricks |
With a permanent pair of headphones |
Trying to make these lectures stick |
I’ll let the protesters picket |
Like they are going to make a difference |
And watch them die before they realize that their cause was nonexistent |
(Like their cause was nonexistent) |
And at night, I roam these streets with absolutely no purpose (absolutely no |
purpose) |
Feeling like I’m worthless (feeling like I’m worthless) |
But contrary to my last statement, I feel fine |
Content with the fact that I know this city’s mine |
And at night, I roam these streets with absolutely no purpose (absolutely no |
purpose) |
Feeling like I’m worthless (feeling like I’m worthless) |
But contrary to my last statement, I feel fine |
Content with the fact that I know this city’s mine |
I walk on shitty city sidewalks stepping on every single crack |
Reminiscent of that joke we used to say when we were snotty nose |
My purpose got defeated when my mom turned paraplegic |
Plus I failed my civil service exam |
They said I cheated |
Not to mention tainted urine samples and the attention span of a second-grader |
More fascinated with building blocks than wasting time stressing his daily |
lesson |
Hence the Ritalin, I’ve been gone with the wind like lucky lottery tickets |
since day one (one) |
I stepped on the left cause rights wrong (wrong) |
So what do I do? |
I resort to friendly games of ping-pong and sing a song of |
sixpence |
I’m none the richer, I just kiss her on the lips and keep trucking |
And at night, I roam these streets with absolutely no purpose (absolutely no |
purpose) |
Feeling like I’m worthless (feeling like I’m worthless) |
But contrary to my last statement, I feel fine |
Content with the fact that I know this city’s mine |
And at night, I roam these streets with absolutely no purpose (absolutely no |
purpose) |
Feeling like I’m worthless (feeling like I’m worthless) |
But contrary to my last statement, I feel fine |
Content with the fact that I know this city’s mine |
