Wisdom to the World

I've had it up to here and you
are just in my way now.
Hey hey yeah
Got to make those kids pay
'cause the book isn't free now
And if we read along, yeah yeah
We're gonna lose today
It's time to educate the cool
Got to erase the board and do it again
Get the wisdom to the world
We got a one way ticket punched out
for the ride
and we were told to hang on
for the rest of our lives
but I can see the light
yes I can do what's right
And I
Got to make those kids say
Repeat after me now
And you'll go far
Right straight down the hole
you're gonna dig today

Cowboys in Boston

Hey bro
I hate your hat
There are now cowboys in Boston
so what's up with that?
Real men don't need cinnamon
in their whiskey
drink it right
drink it straight
'cause frat boy rapists
should not get
major media press
Don't need no
Cowboys in Boston, don't need no
Cowboys in Boston
'cause we're already awesome
yes we are
Don't need no
Cowboys in Boston, don't need no
Cowboys in Boston
'cause we're all-American awesome
in this town
Hey bro
let's talk about
your stupid fixiation on
Taylor Swift.
You think it'll trick girls
into thinking you're cool, but I think
girls ain't fools
Any smart woman
will see right through you

Devil of Babylon
04:27
|
|||
Diabolical
an extension of a system gone mad
Dialectical
the result of a person gone bad
Indecipherable
and take all that we had
Apocryphal
ruiner of all we planned
Devil in my house
Devil in my mouth
Wretched liar lies today
Safe inside Babylon
Mythmaker
rebel priest lies to us all
Money-changer
sainted thief of courts of law
Fortune-stealer
rotten feast the famined fall
Child-breaker
get the young to hear your call
The science of scheme and shame
saves none
Wretched liar lies today
Safe inside Babylon

Dad sees me off to school
and heads back to the frontage road
Mile walk in last year's shirt
and last year's shoes
and last year's coat
Classroom's a no man's land
head low to avoid their gaze
still too afraid to stand
too afraid
too afraid
too afraid
They call me dirty
a whore-child from the street and wild
Sick boy whose dad's a beggar
Only student whose home is a shelter
No one ever tells me
"Dirty kids will always win"
There's no end unless you begin
When you look away
I have no place here
I've got a sister
too young to know this isn't right
doesn't know why she cries
'cause normal for her is a knife fight
knife fight
knife fight
Dead man at the crossroads
and that's our home
No one ever tells her
Look away, look away
you'll see no future, no
So simple to stay
'cause there's no tomorrow
if there's no today

Love
03:17
|
|||
All dressed up for a night on the prowl
fixing it all up with pills and alcohol
have a few more 'til she's looking all right
she'll be your sex sex sex sex queen of the night
Out in the world tonight
all we need to find ourselves
is right inside our hands
Don't wanna live in a world
that's gone technicolor crazy
Don't want to be stupid
just trying to cut loose
with a few choice drinks and a sexy you
I just wanna love 'til I can't see colors
I just want to love 'til I can't see colors
One shot two shots three shots more
we've all got our problems but this evens the score
You know that guy might be thick in the waist
but if he ain't thick in the head he might be worth the taste
Out in the world tonight
all we need to find ourselves
is right inside our hands
Well I don't care about your shade, baby
Just want a better place
No time like today
Just want to be crazy
Out in the world tonight
All we need to find ourselves
is right inside our hands
I just want to get real drunk
You just want to get real drunk
We just want to get fucked up
We just want the world to get fucked up

Can you walk this like you talk it?
Your racist hate is showing us
our true face.
"Let's bring back first-class fascism!"
Psychopaths en masse
Fake hair, fake smile
Nice suit but no style
Let the lights flash
pay with fast cash
This train is off the tracks
Over the hill
Swallow this pill
All aboard for the Great American Stupid
How many times can we break down?
I need a new place to be sane
But your wisdom is not my change
Too many mistakes and
it's permanent decay
Fake hair, fake smile
Nice suit but no style
Build them up, let them down
Watch them burn your house
to the ground
All these years of heartache
a generation of fear

Pretty mama's got a lot to say now
She likes to talk talk talk
Her sexy mouth moves faster
than her brain explains
She's got to know
just what it is about her, yeah
The obvious escapes the space
in their heads
I need a vaccine yeah
You're hot but you're a problem
I need a vaccine for you
You're hot but you're a problem
Outbreak at MGH
and you wonder why
We've gone from herd immunity
to herd stupidity
We listen to TVs
We listen to pretty people say please
But this media virus
is a curable disease
I need a vaccine yeah
You're hot but you're a problem
I need a vaccine for you
You're hot but you're a problem
I need a vaccine right now
You're hot but you're a problem
I need a vaccine for you
You're hot but you're a problem
