Lyrics
I got 8 fingers and opposable thumbs 10 toes, elbows and eyes to see the sun My skin is a shade of pasty white to soak in light From dawn to night and finally darken up I'm characterized by a lack of patience Probably cause to explain my nature Of sporadic rambling and twisted insight At least I'm not stuck in a suit and tie, right? I reach to the sky, like a 3 to a 5, and ask myself why We try to define this violence, Summised by a kind of like mindedness I can't be the only one who isn't blind to this If the people are a steeple for the church of society What's it take for them to stop buying me off With the thoughts of breaktime and loose rhymes I never wanted to have to pick sides That's just the way it has to be There ain't no way around it. Artistic integrity means to start sending me Money to fund my binge and purge kinda chemistry It's not really the life that I'm after But it's this or die young as a starving actor or worse Take my spare time and turn it into hard time Subliminally criminals come off as the good guys The bullet wounds are hot, tattoos and booze dangerous It's not hard to see who'll be the girl's favorite No rhyme, no reason, no rhythm, no doubt about it. With enough money man could call himself unstoppable But honestly that seems to me to be quite illogical I mean sure, you can buy the support of the press Or a nice wedding dress and a bride who will wear it But you've got to see the lives we lead Are worth more than cars and bars and TVs Cause above all the houses of the stars who've departed All we really want to do is to party That's just the way it has to be There ain't no way around it.
