"And The Damn Thing Bit Him!"
Throw the shutters down!
Now, honey, wipe the city clean;
Wooden matches and soda cans with kerosene
Got a bad idea and an awful position
Back up, back up, no hesitation -
Relay the news to the television station:
People are stupid and easy to lie to, still
Get a job! Go to work!
Wipe the sweat right off on your shirt
(Black and white tunnel-vision views for a new situation)
So hats off to the person who can swallow the news
That you can have your pride, but you can swallow it too
See, it's simple to swing yourself back and forth
Again and again and again...
Consistency is what they call “s** city” -
The debt grows deep and your life turns sh**ty
So f** “making it work” -
Circumspection is a notion reserved for jerks
My love was a race in the night by a blinding white moon
But she got ripped to parts by a ma**ive typhoon
She says, “Success is joke in the nude
And disappointment is a paycheck spent on food.”
