| Transmitting live from the cusp of extinction
|
| Look you in the eyes like, «Fuck was you thinking?»
|
| I’m kinda feeling like there’s nothing left to defend
|
| But if we keep it Franklin, that’s just another weekend
|
| I guess karma really gives you what you paid for
|
| 'Cause AmeriKKKa got blood in her carburetor
|
| I’m in the mountains hiding out from the park rangers
|
| Something 'bout putting a slug in your heart chamber
|
| If I ain’t the one that wrote it, then I quoted it
|
| Ipso facto, I overlooked your ownership
|
| Kicked that back door to open it, broke it in
|
| Hit those bad notes and drove it like I chauffeured it
|
| S’posed to get me on a guest list, but I’m skeptical
|
| In my profession don’t nobody act professional
|
| Decided I’d arrive a little bit ahead of schedule
|
| And started up a heavy metal band with the devil, it goes
|
| I been working my whole life to touch the ceiling
|
| Don’t even know if I’d recognize the feeling
|
| But I been working my whole life
|
| I been working my whole life to touch the ceiling
|
| Don’t even know if I’d recognize the feeling
|
| But I been working my whole life
|
| And it’s a viking ship, there’s no breakfast
|
| And it’s the life we live, it’s so precious, yeah
|
| And don’t pretend that you was over our heads if
|
| You know you never meant for us to catch those references
|
| (Right?) And just so I can understand
|
| Nobody in command’ll willingly give up their upper hand
|
| Unless suddenly their gun is jammed
|
| And you pry it from their motherfucking hands (Right?)
|
| And I been working my whole life afraid of the clock
|
| And I know that ain’t right 'cause I can’t make it stop
|
| Gotta show up and finish the shift
|
| The baby told me being present is a gift
|
| And maybe that’s why you refuse to fall asleep
|
| Probably keep it moving 'til the heart stops respondin' to the beat
|
| But my brain’s still self-conscious
|
| Like I coulda cut my losses if I would’ve acknowledged I was exhausted
|
| 'Cause I been working my whole life to touch the ceiling
|
| Don’t even know if I’d recognize the feeling
|
| But I been working my whole life
|
| I been working my whole life to touch the ceiling
|
| Don’t even know if I’d recognize the feeling
|
| But I been working my whole life
|
| And I dunno if this is how it’s supposed to feel
|
| How will I know if this is how it’s supposed to feel?
|
| And I dunno if this is how it’s supposed to feel
|
| How will I know if this is how it’s supposed to feel?
|
| Ey, du?
|
| Hvordan kommer du deg ut av buret ditt da?
|
| Prøver du å rømme, eller?
|
| Ja, hvor er det du skal dra hen da?
|
| Du kommer deg ikke noe lengre
|
| Det rommet her e’kke noe bedre enn et bur, det er bare større
|
| Og ja, jeg vet at du ikke har sett himmelen før
|
| Men det der…
|
| Det er bare et tak
|
| Om du flyr for høyt, så kommer du bare til å skade deg sjøl |
