Wordburglar - Venomous Ideology lyrics

[verse 1] Alright, I used to be a man Who tried to play by the rules I worked hard, had a wife Walked my kid to his school A simple fool like my brother Who fought in their wars In exchange for drinking problems And a loss of support Not anymore- They found his body spread across the highway Head-on collision with some family who couldn't drive straight Irate, I lost the American Dream Went from selling used cars to running pyramid schemes Hoodwinking investors That's where I got my first case Recruited like minds We met on Thursdays Because money buys weapons And very good lawyers Next thing you know I got an island Plus some tank destroyers I must be doing something right Is what I told myself Kidnapping presidents, throw them into holding cells See I'm like no one else A rattle charmer Going to work in helmet, hood and battle armor I'm a brainwasher bleeding hearts and hippies Carve my face in the moon So you'll never forget me Put mind control in everything- Perfume to chewing gum Psychos and maniacs? I'm always interviewing some New members Man haven't you heard? Ask my accountant He's the one dressed like a bird I turn your town around Until you're living like royalty And all I ask is nothing but unquestioning loyalty [Hook] I'm the man, the mask, the myth, the urban legend The snake in the gra** that you're never sure where I'm headin' I'll be the vermin you're frettin' Certain you're nervous and sweatin' From the way I earn my rep with less conservative weapons Duke: Our old enemy called Cobra Commander ?: Got an appetite for destruction ?: Five forces that your gravity will fly orders ?: Operation crush planet nerf right palm [verse 2] I got a burning ambition And a venomous ideology A thing for snakes And cutting-edge high technology My economy? Diamonds to ruples And my philosophy? Who needs scruples Morality, ethics, those are just a curse to carry If I got any problems, got a rolodex of mercenaries To hurt and bury, I'm trying to keep the hate alive No I'm not crazy- Just dangerously destabilized It pays to lie Truth is, whatever I say to guys Anything I don't like- I vaporize Robots with laser eyes Zap your mom while she's baking pies I'm Cobra Commander Exactly what the name implies Take the prize for charismatic, sociopathic Words hook you like some opium addicts You're lonely and tragic Time to get open to habit Running rackets through whatever helps the scope of my ravage To cope with the madness- You gotta be a bit nutty I just want to rule the globe I'm not that fussy Complete chaos, corporation lay-offs Labor from your neighbors doing favors for some pay-offs Make you quit your day job Stick it to your lame boss Aiming for your veins engrave my name in your brain, ha! Insane plots is what I consider mad fun I love ideas Especially the bad ones [Hook]
