Tonight, tonight I’m lowering my standards Tonight, tonight I’ve stuffed my mattress full of laurels and it’s waiting for me Tonight, tonight We’re forcing the issue Tonight, tonight Nothing will satisfy Tomorrow, tomorrow We’ll set new standards Tomorrow, tomorrow Will be easier than today

I’m on a mission Of indecision Wallowing, waiting, wasting my time It came to me finally That I’m untimely ‘Cause I don’t care about styrofoam hair And what I really want ain’t never there. There’s a little boy inside of me And he wants too much, more than I can see So I look at him and I shrug my shoulders All that’s for sure is that I’m getting older I’m on a mission With Mormon precision Looking for converts, but no one has time She came to me finally Only a year untimely Not a care when I touch her hair But when I woke it wasn’t really there There’s an old man standing on me And he’s pulling me up so that I can see So I look at him and I shrug my shoulders All that’s for sure is that I’m getting colder

He got this city locked up And it don’t mean a thing He comes claiming no fear of fire But he can’t take the heat Long time goin’ that way Been planning since before he was born Putting effort into something or another Without even a direction to push She got her demons locked up And about which nothing to sing That pretty face don’t hint at the fury Of the nicest girl that you’ll ever meet Power to the black sheep Doing everything to never be shorn Putting purpose into every little step Before even a direction is known Hey, we’re gonna take this town tonight Looking for something worth a fight The booze and the beat will bind us The power of the fight will blind us We think we’re always right, don’t mind us We’ve got the moral right behind us Hey, we’re gonna take this town tonight Looking for something worth a fight Hey, our youth is burning bright Looking for something to do tonight

With your help, I assumed it would be Easier than this But it’s been damn near an hour And I ain’t got piss Through the years, you’ve always been there When I needed a brief hot streak C’mon now, let’s get this done ‘cause My bladder’s about to break I was counting on you today But you didn’t come through in your normal way You know that I can’t be in a good mood on my own I was counting on you It’s been said creation can be Accomplished without drugs But that’s like saying that the world Can be saved my hugs

At dawn, I get in my ship and I go To where the weather is warm Got a jug of water to keep me wet But I’ll get burnt no matter sunscreen’s worn And I’ve been working on the surface of the sun Sweat dripping in my eyes It’s hard labor, but it must be done Entertain them, or the people will rise There is no time to spare Working where there’s no air Pointing at that spec in the distance, I say, “Hey, man, that’s my home” He don’t understand a word I say And the tongue he speaks is one that I’ve never known I’ve been working on the surface of the sun Sweat dripping in my eyes It’s hard labor, but it must be done Entertain them, or the people will rise Days are long on the surface of the sun So far from everything I know I’ve been working on the surface of the sun Where you can live, but never grow On the surface of the sun

Mosquito 04:04
“Live free or die,” forefather said Ain’t nothing wrong with that “Eye for an eye,” commander said Don’t fuck with the fat The mosquito had malaria We’ll hunt him down Flail our arms in mass hysteria We’ll kill the swarm We’ll smoke you out We are so badass We’ve cornered the market on freedom Here in the country of sleaze We’ll do what we want with the concept Define it as we please There’s so much to fear in the world I mean, have you seen the news? But we’ve got a strong man to protect us From those with skins of dark hues He’s taking over, just like Bonapart He says it’s so that we won’t be blown apart
