Busdriver - Secret Skin lyrics

This self-made mogul alpha-male Now seeks a Dali-lama To become a cocooned darling larva I'll donate my album sales to what the left-wing stance is, The pet peeves of the candidates and wet reeds in their tan lips, exceeds the bandwidth The self-empowered blogsters, and all you apathetic scenesters From this downward-dogger Newly flowered songbird But I used to drive my stretch Humvee through rap fads like an occupied Baghdad Looking like a pet monkey in a one-piece holding a handbag Now I'm stylized in your art commune Torturing a TV host, holding a weenie-roast over car-bombed ruins Choking on a tapioca ball In being a sun-drenched life-size Yoda doll Obsequious banter is protocol (new skin) Admonished, I withstand the office day singed Then become counter-culture's misanthropic statesman Take wives with a chest full of animal hair, put their vulvas on pre-heat Then have an extra-marital affair at the yoga retreat I'm a wheatgra** fueled, rehashed, eco-friendly hippie freak Encased in what's aesthetically pleasing Marvel at the LA-based, dead artifice We are all coated in a plastic film But there lies a thicker layer of secret skin There lies a layer of secret skin Under your soft-edit enhanced cosmetic implants There lies a thick layer of secret skin A body for you to re-begin 'Please give to this undisclosed relief fund' Says the liberal with a tealeaf on his tongue Cuz soldiers are pointing their BB guns at children's TB lungs So we've sanctioned graffiti fun to slander your figurehead Hack into amalgamated algorithms that open cells in crowded prisons But I got to get that 'save-the-world-look' first Under that thin veneer, there is a buried sun An aptly engineered new planetarium Working cla** Heroism Is stylish All season Sleeveless shirts Quinoa Drum circles Palm-reading We are all coated in a plastic film But there lies a thicker layer of secret skin There lies a layer of secret skin Under your soft-edit enhanced cosmetic implants There lies a thick layer of secret skin A body for you to re-begin We are all coated in a plastic film But there lies a thicker layer of secret skin There lies a layer of secret skin Under your soft-edit enhanced cosmetic implants There lies a thick layer of secret skin A body for you to re-begin Under that thin veneer, there is a buried sun An aptly engineered new planetarium
