Fairwell |
I’m gonna leave the past alone |
I used to have a blast at home |
And a cellular phone, now I’m a walking skeletal bone |
My stomach’s eating itself because I’m so damn hungry |
I’m homeless, just about worthless and stumbly |
Cuz I just finished that last bit of Guinness |
??? |
food bitch, mind your own business |
Now tend to mine, sometimes I tend to find |
A little piece of sandwich somebody left behind |
And I’ll eat that the whole day, I beg thee always |
Say will work for food, have no place to stay |
Starvation has me living on my last chance |
I make a fast dash and hit up all the trashcans |
If I’m lucky I’ll find a piece of bread, often instead |
I like to slash my neck leaving my shirt awfully red |
But I can’t put the knife to my neck, my life is a wreck |
And I’d shoot myself if I had a rifle or tek |
Prolonged death through malnutrition is unbearable |
I try to find a job, I’m filthy plus I smell terrible |
So nobody wants to pay me, no hottie wants to lay me |
I tell the prostitutes to give me head, they disobey me |
Maybe, I’ll join the military, join the Navy |
But I have no identification and no bravery |
So fuck it, I’m just gonna be alcohol’s puppet |
Get really drunk, find a tall building and climb up it |
And then I’ll jump off, but wait, I’m afraid of heights |
I have to turn off my lights some way with no frights |
What’s the difference if I go out quietly or with a bang? |
There’s a ledge, there’s a rope, guess I might as well hang |
But that’s some bullshit because I know it won’t work |
What if my neck doesn’t break on the first jerk? |
What type of shit is this? |
I guess I’ll just slit a wrist |
But that’s way too slow, and plus, what if the veins missed? |
I’ve abandoned all chances of begging and all chances of living |
Guess there’s no obvious circumstances of giving |
Now if I’m gonna move on of free will |
The only way to eat a meal is to rob, steal and kill |
But I don’t have it in me and I’m too damn friendly |
You’re my enemy because I’m broke and you have plenty |
That’s how I justify it in my own mental riot |
You’re well fed and I’m about to die from this diet |
So you be quiet, and give up all your shit calmly |
I’m ornery and I have a rusty screwdriver on me |
And if you try to fight then it’s going in your neck quick |
I’m a derelict but this is no lunatic rhetoric |
So take it seriously and don’t try to screw with me |
Don’t get furious or curious, I want your jewelry |
Yes all of it, hurry up I’m being tolerant |
If I choose to kill you, huh, the police ain’t solving it |
Cuz I’m a nobody and nobody is witnessing this robbery |
And after I kill you, I’ll kill myself probably |
That’s right, I’m gonna kill you now I’m so sorry |
But I got all of your money plus the keys to your Ferrari |
And that’s all I need I knew that he would fall indeed |
Then the cops pulled up while I watched his neck bleed |
And they pulled out all their guns at me and yelled «Freeze» |
I put the screwdriver to my throat and fell to my knees |
God please, tell me who’s at fault, is it me? |
I told the cops I used to be a productive MC |
And I signed a record deal with a shady company |
Who exploited me and left me homeless without a penny |
I was excited, the first label interested |
I did what I did cuz I was a foolish young kid |
Oh well, if I live, I’m on a road to hell |
So I guess this is it, goodbye, farewell |
