| Good-good-good evening to the commune
|
| No need to stand, I promise y’all that I’ll be gone soon
|
| See I’m speakin' for the working folks
|
| The cats who stay awake 'til dawn
|
| Just tryin' to land upon the perfect note
|
| The ones, who for the life of us an’t seem to keep it in
|
| Or speak to a God, who isn’t there to speak to them
|
| They may not show it, but I’m sure that it’s beneath the skin
|
| Yeah that’s the human being
|
| We know it’s fucked, but we pretend
|
| I try to dream again, but I can’t even sleep
|
| And when I finally close my eyes
|
| It’s like a demon feeds my need to win
|
| And so it keeps on, the saga, if you view my drift
|
| The food is few, but we still overpopulate this moody bitch
|
| Wait a minute 'til the seasons change
|
| The scorching hot, the freezing rain
|
| Everybody wanna flee the pain
|
| But all can’t end up leaving sane
|
| So play games or maintain for the accolade
|
| Either way, get away cause it’s sad to say
|
| Round here there’ll be no man to save
|
| Do what I do with one foot in the grave
|
| Smile up on my face like everything’s okay
|
| Everytime I leave I wonder if I should stay
|
| Ay-ay, not today
|
| Do what I do with one foot in the grave
|
| Smile up on my face like everything’s okay
|
| Everytime I go I wonder if I should stay
|
| Not today, one foot in the grave
|
| HEY! |
| By the time you hear this I’ll
|
| Be long gone with a smile
|
| So fuck you and your style
|
| Get in these kicks and walk these miles
|
| Don’t hit no wall, life is a constant squall
|
| Nuclear firearms, everytime I’m in those arms blast
|
| When I raise my glass, toast my future, present, past
|
| Inside I hope it last, at least 'til this hangover pass
|
| Bombs over Baghdad, between have nots and must haves
|
| Me on both sides, I keep tabs, in case it’s over soon
|
| Tick-tock, goes the box
|
| Watch 'em go nuts and attempts to make it stop
|
| But they can’t, never learned to pick no locks
|
| Watch, right from the sides, as they all suicide
|
| As they all drink the Kool-Aid I observe and then drink mine
|
| Do what I do with one foot in the grave
|
| Smile up on my face like everything’s okay
|
| Everytime I go I wonder if I should stay (Sta-a-a-a-ay)
|
| Not today, one foot in the grave |
