lyrics

What do you do when the shit hits the fan and the TP’s all gone?
I guess you say fuck it, pull out a pen and start writing a song
I’ve been doing this a while, 26.21 miles
Life never ceases to put you on trial so when death blows a kiss I just wink back and smile

What else would I do? I just look this way I’m not confused
You think it’s a mystery go get a clue, Nature laughs last joke is on you
And the earth keeps spinning, it is a dirt clod floating infinite
You are a skin bag beholden to physics, there is no time-out the clock keeps on ticking

Till the buzzer sounds, take it for real man stop fucking around
But don’t take it too seriously cause nobody gets out alive we ain’t making it out
And I could complain, but what would that do? Nothing would change
I’m just so grateful for all of the way cool shit that has happened to me up to this day


I love my parents, especially my mom and dad
My sister is cool too and my friends yeah all of them are tight as fuck AF
No more wondering now, I am certain I have nothing but doubt
Life is a circus, I’m just a clown, they call me a smart ass for dumbing it down

Whatever, run away from the pain I’m headed towards pleasure
That is my aim I won’t settle for lesser unless of course it’s sitting in the top dresser
I’m an info junkie what’s the 411 I’m becoming aroused
Straight A student, thirsty for knowledge I told the professor to come in my mouth

Yeah I said what I meant, we exist by geologic consent
Subject to change without notice if Mother Nature is a b—
Wait, why don’t you say it? Is this some stupid superstitious shit?
If I could manipulate the world with my words I would have a lot more money and a much bigger dick

Ain’t that the truth, abracadabra magic poof
Eh nothing happened, wait what happened to it? Oh there he is yeah that’s my dude
But I don’t complain, even if I could what would I say?
It’s been amazing up to this day it’s a wonderful life I just want to say thanks
