summer 1997

lyrics

These lemonade drinking renegades thinking they can
Get away with sinking ships, these hypocrites seen better days
Animals, criminals, little kids, chemicals
Snips, snails, fishermen's tales & squids' tentacles
Sensibility and sense, prejudice and pride. Nice
Guys finish last with a side of chicken fried rice
I got sick and died twice, Resurrection Brothers take
Care of me, I spoke out in class today like Jeremy
Let them eat cake while I break beats
I'm getting over my weak state, but it could take weeks
To fully regenerate the blood and limbs lost
in the struggle. (Will you make it?) Well that depends, boss,
On whether or not you're willing to make a sacrifice
If you decline, it's alright 'cause I'm gonna ask you twice
In fact, I'm a persist until it's settled, one way or the other
Check the time on my wrist, it's Sunday, word to mother

I'm a karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
With the arm leg leg arm head fire alarm alien
I be the Tom Sawyer with the sneaky labor force delegation
And I'm working on improving my caber toss elevation
Meteors strike out of an orange-colored sky
With space junk as I hum a funk lullabye
Are we not men who eat boiled owls?
Or are we astro-men...?
Faces adorned with royal scowls and common courtesy
Is lost now that everyone and their mama's heard of me
You can't stay calm observing me, my antics are absurd
And if I'm frightened, I become frantic and disturbed
And when I'm writing rhymes like this, I get raised hair and
Shivers and I lose my common sense and run with a pair of scissors
Terrorists are not allowed beyond the time alotted
Or you could wind up wearing a fishing line, garotted
If not blown to bits, they've been known to mix
Cocktails of the Molotov sort, carrying shotguns
They sawed them off short. It's a BAD DEAL
When you've got fake people saying "shit is mad real"
