Sometimes I think of all the places where I don’t want to go Then I think of all the things I don’t want to do And when I think of all the people I don’t want to meet I close my eyes and go to sleep

Tully, baby, you’re trapped behind your golden bars I’m the prince of poverty hangin’ out in bars Your life’s a Mercedes, a mansion with a pool My life’s on a bus stop just waiting for some fuel

Your obviousness disgusts me I see through your macho lies I’ll fight everything you stand for There’s something in your purse baby, my head is getting sore Maybe what we had was just green corn

Did you get that rush, that feeling, adrenalin Pumping through your veins? A lifeless body in the gutter, city streets are stained How do you rationalize? What do you see in your reflection? A kid just having fun, a soldier’s bloodied boot impression One for all and all for one, especially when it’s ten on one You don’t care what you’re doing, you know it sure is fun

If it happened to your mother would you laugh so hard? Well, that was someone’s son or brother That you kicked so hard

This time you went too far What’s the matter, don’t you feel alright? Do you feel remorse? Or are the handcuffs on a little too tight?

Now that your friends are gone, you’ve got no Defense, no protection Five or six times a day you receive your hot beef injection I hope every time you’re corn holed terror fills your mind The one emotion you have inspired one too many times
