Incoming distraction Gonna need a reaction Telling us it’s the rational that make it go round Incoming distraction We don’t need satisfaction Camera says the passionate will make it go round I will not waste my time I will not stay in line I will not say I’m fine I will not say it to you I cannot try I will not waste my time I cannot try I will not waste my time I cannot try I will not waste my time I cannot try Incoming distraction Gonna need a reaction Telling us it’s the rational that make it go round Incoming distraction We don’t need satisfaction Camera says the passionate will make it go round I will not waste my time I will not stay in line I will not say I’m fine I will not say it to you I cannot try I will not waste my time I cannot try I will not waste my time I cannot try I will not waste my time I cannot try

No Whammies 03:11
Big bucks, gimme no whammies Nip tucks, wanna win Grammys Big house, Television city Moving out, done with living shitty Call up Netflix, get myself a deal Call my agent, get myself a meal On the talk shows, they keep calling me two-faced Call up my surgeon, tell him I need a new face You know I’ll bide my time But I won’t buy your time I’ll be the first in line To win it big this time Marry Ms. Banks and move up to the Hills They say times are tough but she pays all my bills Never time for work, only time for play Time to be on the Price-Is-Right today You know I’ll bide my time But I won’t buy your time I’ll be the first in line To win it big this time Come on jetski Big bucks, big bucks I want that butler No whammies Stop You know I’ll bide my time But I won’t buy your time I’ll be the first in line To win it big this time

Can you believe the year is 2023 And we’re still living in a fascist regime We’ve got the S.S., it's now called the I.C.E. We’ve got a Hitler, he’s called T.R.U.M.P. Can’t wait till his fat monkey heart stops beating From all the burgers from McDonald’s he’s been eating Checking my wrist, it’s just about time The almighty chosen one, the POTUS to die White folks go camping, while they’re stuck in camps You sit there napping with your heads in the sands White folks go hunting, while they’re hunted down You sit there shrugging with your heads in the ground

Dark outside, 5 a.m. Back in line at the coffee shop again Hate the music, hate the vibes Gotta get my caffeine inside At the counter, say “Hello How can I help? Is that for here or to go? The usual, we don’t have anymore But what can I do to get you out of this store?” Fuck my manners Fuck a tip Gimme room for cream But make it quick I need an extra large I need a hit Don’t touch the milk Cuz dairy makes me sick Fuck my manners Fuck a tip Gimme room for cream But make it quick I need an extra large I need a hit Don’t touch the milk Cuz dairy makes me sick Don’t talk to me until I’ve had my 24 oz. white chocolate raspberry mocha with two extra shots of whip Dark outside, 11 p.m. Back in line at the waterhole again Hate the people, hate the food Hate the band, but I love me that booze Fuck my manners Fuck a tip Gimme room for cream But make it quick I need an extra large I need a hit Don’t touch the milk Cuz dairy makes me fucking sick

You don’t know me You don’t know what I mean It’s clear, it’s plain to see You don’t know what I need Sat in your cushy seat Slept in your satin sheets Don’t care for other needs It’s time for you to leave You don’t know me You don’t know what I mean It’s clear, it’s plain to see You don’t know what I need

Barely 02:40
Got nothing going on I don’t leave my bed till noon Told myself a thousand times But still treat it like a tomb Everyday just slips on by My list keeps going on Everyday I get real high Don’t know what’s going wrong I can get up Bite my tongue and nothing’s changed Things aren’t going right at all What’s a living wage? You can blame it on the world They say these times are strange You can blame it on my life And I can blame it on my age Got a touchy grip on my life Barely Yeah I think I’m doing just fine Barely Doesn’t look like much but I’m trying Barely It’ll look much different when I’m done Can’t stop what’s on my mind I wanna get over that hill All I do is piss and whine And all my friends think it’s overkill Knowing that I have the power But question if I have the will Gotta go and see my shrink But who is gonna front that bill? I can get up Bite my tongue still nothing’s changed Things aren’t going right I just want a living wage You can blame it on the world They say these times are strange You can blame it on my life And I can blame it on my age Got a touchy grip on my life Barely Yeah I think I’m doing just fine Barely Doesn’t look like much but I’m trying Barely It’ll look much different when I’m done

You could never know what it's like Your blood like winter freezes just like ice And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use And did you think this fool could never win? Well, look at me, I'm a-coming back again I got a taste of love in a simple way And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did? Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing I'm still standing Once I never could've hoped to win You're starting down the road leaving me again The threats you made were meant to cut me down And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now Don’t you know I'm still standing better than I ever did Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing I'm still standing Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did? Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid I'm still standing after all this time Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind I'm still standing I'm still standing I'm still standing I'm still standing

All the people keep on asking Why, why, why, why Try to tell me what’s inside of My mind, my mind Other people keep on asking Why, why, why, why But the men just keep on telling Lies, lies, lies Lost in T-Town Walking round the streets all night I’m lost in T-Town Look down and my phone and vape died Lost in T-Town Aching for a goddamn street fight Lost in T-Town Getting in my mind Better off in time All the people keep on asking Why, why, why, why Tell them that I’m taking what is Mine, mine, mine Lost in T-Town Walking round the streets all night I’m lost in T-Town Look down and my phone and vape died Lost in T-Town Aching for a goddamn street fight Lost in T-Town Getting in my mind Better off in time

Out To Lunch 02:37
I went walking by myself last night I keep talking to myself at night I try so hard to keep myself in line But yet I still can’t get it off my mind They keep on staring but refuse to pay It’s bleak how it all slowly fades away They keep on staring but just won’t pay I’m done, I just want it to go away I’m beat, I couldn’t get to sleep last night I keep tossing in my bed at night Wake up, brush my teeth and hair just right But don’t get it no matter how I try They keep on staring but refuse to pay It’s bleak how it all slowly fades away They keep on staring but just won’t pay I’m done, I just want it to go away Leave me alone, eating alone Out to lunch Leave me alone, feed me my phone Out to lunch Leave me alone, eating alone Out to lunch Leave me alone, feed me my phone Out to lunch They keep on staring but refuse to pay It’s bleak how it all slowly fades away They keep on staring but just won’t pay I’m done, I just want it to go away

I wonder if you feel the same But I wonder if you know my name I’ll try to give it all to you I can’t afford the things you always knew You won’t give me the time of day But at night you wanna come and play You know I’m not that kind of man I just need your hand I’m thinking it’s shut I’m thinking that it’s not enough I’m thinking that it’s done I wonder if you feel the same But when we talk you go and call me Dave I’ll try to make it up to you I’ll take the hit if you gon’ want me to You tell me I’m so cliché You spend two months tryn’ tell me that you’re gay Why was it so hard to say Will you go away I’m thinking it’s shut I’m thinking that it’s not enough I’m thinking that it’s done I think that that’s fine Alright You used to be mine All night I’ll get it next time Alright And you will just cry Tonight I think that that’s fine Alright You used to be mine All night I’ll get it next time Alright And you will just cry Tonight
