it was like this in 1999
|
it was like this in 1874
|
it was like this when you were a child
|
it was like this when i was a whore, well
|
there were massive troops on the back of the isles
|
they were saying those things, they were all in denial
|
they were talkin about their own front
|
let me tell it like, it smelled like shit and they
|
and theyre eatin popcorn out of a dish
|
theyre sayin "i wish, i wish, i wish"
|
i was there in 1999, i was left and i left my old self behind
|
still livin but you know im not denying
|
said what i said, and i said this
|
in 1918 things were better when i was nothin but a sweater
|
now im born again as another man
|
im livin on this in this foreign land
|
i used to be andora, angora fleece, isnt no sound and i eat in peace
|
and noone knew, and noone cared, and you didnt know whether you wanted to dare
|
its not what you were thinkin them and as your resurrection breathed out cinnamon
|
and i was not to be confused
|
and then in 1882 they still sold it to those fucks
|
things have been goin wrong since the beginning
|
and noone was loosin and noone was winning
|
they just fucked each other up
|
and in 1999 i was in a park in chicago
|
oh that was nice
|
he was like a father and he know what he was sayin and wait
|
im not talkin about this bullshit
|
and i went to talk to the more italian boys who hung out there
|
they said that they would rather see me dead or at least not kept
|
and they broke my jaw and i was left to thaw
|
and i walked away and i called my mom and said
|
hell yeah it sucked yeah i loved it break my jaw now!
|
you hang on you hang on
|
you got your rent on and you were just sayin uhh
|
one thing you remembered you were never even once bein cleaver
|
then you were, when sleepin, you were sleepin when their sayin when there was a phone yeah
|
mistakes were made and i ended up in florida
|
things were not right i didnt care though
|
what ya do, and what ya become, either way ya end up all dumb
|
thats all right with me now, thats all right with me now 1-2 1-2 me with
|
the troops they were massing on the porch, they wanted to be the only thorn
|
and in the court of the goff goff senate i hear things are better and noones really tougher
|
and your talkin loud and your talkin proud in your trumpet now.. ohhhhhhhh shit!
|
well ya said then, what ya meant then, what ya did then, was ya wanna have sex
|
and you did not do, you could not do, ya could not pull out but ya tried to
|
then ya said well i dont need, i dont need to wear myself a bikini today!
|
it brings me to the embarassment, i was sittin on a raft in pond sediment
|
and they said hell yeah, oh hell yeah, you looked naked for shit but you were drunk you didnt care
|
well what were you thinkin
|
