The World Raps!

My brain is your atomic nuclear warfare paintings

All the while you face-lift X-box babies

Needle-thread we're dead babe don't you make a man crave

For things he can't quite understand but doesn't want to hit the hand.

Severance is fiction in the hands of friction,

****** deviance and erratic disobedience,

Covers the covers like a silk-screen layout

Jack it up and crack it up to be ****** up takeout.

 

Oh yeah? Well over we're starving ripping pieces off the mountains

Dentistry mythology, who needs a medical degree?

The label on the box said the tape was all in my head

But I don't hear a ******* sound except the fire all around

Grass is misleading and graffiti complaining

The AK is God here and through towns we're raiding

You think you got it so bad this is all the life we ever had

And don't you ever stop by cause our values are just alibis.

 

Okay, enough! This is all a double feature burger for here or to go

This is all a Catholic preacher in a Red Cross rodeo

Life is an airplane flying overhead carrying passengers with nothing in their heads

And turning all the lights out and pulling all the blinds down so they can't see the truth.

Disguise misguide and everything in between

Have you seen the ***** film with Jenna Haze and Jimmy Dean?

Garden salad, Diet Coke, check now and choke

Give us our bombs so we can run and go and rig the new VOTES.

 

Let me run it by the city council one more time

We're seeing flying cars and houses of cards and stumbling and tumbling

And rumbling and rumoring the hilarious splinter consumering

Maneuvering, assuming bottles fly with seagull eyes

The trees burn here like candy canes and run in the grass like membranes

Toxic fumes and entrails for reasoning and cold shame

Shudder at the thought of a shutter in a hot fuzz tee shirt worn by the slick insane

Generating heaterpuppy psychologic fragile now, undertow, the fifth row in the theater at the Apollo.
