If science says that we're all dead in ten years then I don't know why I'm going to college I wanna get drunk off of forty-thousand beers and wake up in a world without consequence I wanna buy the world's largest gun and wave it at the sky, cursing all it's done I wanna get drunk throw up throw hands give up cus nothing ever really even mattered on this god damn scum-sucking husk of a planet

All the new city lights can be a little bit blinding when they shine in your eyes But I gotta brand new leather jacket that I stole from the Salvation Army I'm a high roller tonite so I kick back on my heelys and roll into traffic baby, cus that's the kinda life I live lunchables and acid tabs livin' with a dangerous edge drinkin' juicy-juice and dyin' nightly... Let's play craps and poker and we'll dine in the sewers if we're unlucky I'll bet my allowance and I'm sure I might win Absolutely nothing can stop us now I'm the king of the jungle and there's a forest fire that's the kinda life I live lunchables and acid tabs livin' with a dangerous edge drinkin' juicy-juice and dyin' nightly... (fuck jeff bezos. fuck that guy.)

I'm gonna grow make some money I'm gonna grow OH! Make it big!

Summer Heat 01:55
God damn this summer heat I can see your skin burn as you fall onto the pavement I'm a robber you're a liar and together we can start a brand new fire if nature doesn't start it first God damn your sun-burnt cheeks there's an egg that's frying on your face it's a new look, lookin' out of place until the birds come just to gnaw it all away And if we still speak, I'm a robber in your dreams winter come, oh winter won't you come? God damn this summer heat I'm burning, I'm on fire and the water isn't gonna help me I need something to melt the plastic off of my skin God damn this summer heat

I'm driftin' out to sea in a viking funeral I won't burn alive 'cus I'm already dead The plastic melts away but what's it leave behind? Pretty lies, bad hit detection point me in the right direction... Dead lost souls, a bad transmission point me in the right direction I am lost, I am lost, I am lost A romance in a dream in sepia tone If you can't decide what's real then make reality your own Pretty lies, bad hit detection point me in the right direction Dead lost souls, a bad transmission point me in the right direction I'll cast aside past life regression point me in the right direction
6.
There's dentures growing outta the mouth growing on the back of my back There's a door discarded on the front of my front yard The trees growing at the bed of my bedhead dropping droplets of dark dandelion yellows fall on the side of the left side of my arm Dentures growing outta the baby teeth growing outta the mouth growing outta the back of my back, door discarded, dropped like the dark droplets dropped outta the trees growing outta the head of my bedhead, Yellow dandelions. Everything is real at this time.

Just sittin' 'round the camp fire with my best friends in the world, starlit sky above us, just breathin' it all in Sittin' 'round the campfire that makes up the whole world, if we dive right in we'll know who we wanna be I can be the watcher and you can just observe I could drown in water but the fire's gonna kill us first Sittin' 'round the campfire, it's all I really need I could burn every day and not know who I'll be

Robocop 5 05:41
Hello, my name's Robocop I'm a big fan of the law if I catch you speeding I will shoot you with my largest gun Go to jail Hello my name's Robocop I just noticed your front lawn The grass is over six inches It's your private property but have some common decency If you do not mow your lawn I'll shoot you with my largest gun Go to jail

Every day I go to my job and then I I say hi to my boss and I fall asleep on the clock Every day I go to my job and then I daydream about death and the life I could be living and I daydream about you, and I daydream about me, and I think about all kinds of wack bullshit, but, god damn stop feeling like that, stop feeling like this stop feeling like that, stop feeling like this stop feeling like that, stop feeling like this stop feeling like that, it's not productive Every day I go to work and I clock in, and I mentally check out, yeah it's a hassle, and I come to at about 5:57 AM and I clock out, go home, pass out, dry out wish to die out in the open road smelling concrete, eatin' leaves stop feeling like that, stop feeling like this stop feeling like that, stop feeling like this stop feeling like that, stop feeling like this stop feeling like that, it's not productive And all my life I've compared the journey of self-improvement to a caterpillar becoming a butterfly but maybe that's not entirely accurate because some days you flit between caterpillar and butterfly, and some days you're stuck in that larval phase and constantly I find myself diving into small flames like some kinda moth, so am I even wholly human? Well I don't know, and I don't give a damn We're all half-moth, we're all half-human and even when we die, we're still alive so stop feeling like that, start feeling like this stop feeling like that, start feeling like this stop feeling like that, start feeling like this stop feeling like that, start feeling like -

Even when I wanna die I've gotta be human Even when I'm burning alive I'm choking on my ashes Gotta keep moving on 'til we see those bald heads roll 'til we see the death of all those Pull out the chopping block for all your friends back home gonna play some old songs with some newer faces Gotta see them go 'til we see those bald heads roll Sit down, get drunk, enjoy the show, grow up start a family in the middle of world war 3 and teach your son how to use a gun That boy's gonna need it.
