People struggle everywhere you look It's written on their faces like an open book Emptiness or happiness, therein lies your heart People are so fragile, why is life so hard? Because the world is a puzzle So pick up the pieces Get them together again, one by one One by one One day life is beautiful Like living up in the stars The next day I say, "look out below" 'Cause I'm falling apart Emptiness or happiness, therein lies your heart People are so fragile, why is life so hard? Because the world is a riddle to everyone in it Nobody solves it the very first time Because the world is a riddle to everyone in it Nobody solves it the very first time (Keep on tryin')

I thought that there could be Some kind of privacy A place for you and me Where we could just be we Without no espionage See, I can see it They watchin' me Hey, I can feel it They watchin' me I can see that I can't be A kind of entity Where we don't need to be Worried 'bout espionage Champagne popsicles, no campaign obstacles, lots of truth, 'til our soul pops the noose My life's like a block of proof, give you four parts like wifi mixed with Olive Oyl Popeye then I disappear like poof Genie at the lamp line up in a gold tooth, I'm a fuckin' cartoon, all I see is a box around me, everything on loop Introductions so classic sounding, me and sandhill like the fountain of youth Treat you like our sons like an aunt will, ain't a hype that you can't kill, Omar like mad chill The sun don't chill a law, white supremacy might kill a law, but it still can't kill Allah Feeling it, feeling it...
It was bad enough before the circus came When the local shrew thought that she had a brain Now we all gotta listen to that dog-faced bark Like she's the god damn Einstein of the trailer park Your mamma done raised a knucklehead Your mamma done raised a fool Your mamma should have closed her legs instead of Breeding a loud-mouthed clown like you Shut up liar, the stuff you say Shut up liar, the stuff you do Shut up liar, STFU, STFU Shut the fuck up Shut up liar, the stuff you play Shut up liar, the stuff you spew Shut up liar, STFU, STFU Shut the fuck up Shut the fuck up It was bad enough before they fed that chimp Any stupid theory 'bout why he was limp Now we all gotta listen to that gas bag blow Like some kind of white trash Michelangelo Your daddy gotta be ecstatic Your daddy gotta be so proud Your daddy only wanted a little prick To holler the quiet thought out loud
I see your reflections Oh wherever I go Where do they come from? Oh, I really don't know My head is in the ocean Say goodbye to all emotions And away we fall without plans All sinking to the bottom Pain seems to hit me Oh whenever I wait Guilt never stops me When I make the mistake I'm closer to the ending So please don't start pretending And away we fall without plans All sinking to the bottom I'm falling in Oh, oh, oh
I still recall just what my mama said "You need an old-fashioned girl who makes breakfast in bed" And you are that and everything But then I must confess The bacon is burnt, and the eggs are a mess That's why I'm leaving the garden I'm sorry, but I have to go Oh darling, I'm sorry, but I have to Everything about you is as good as it gets You know just how I like it, especially the sex I should be happy as a king I would make you my wife But you can't even boil water to save your own life Or you could maybe learn to fry up some SPAM Don't know a pot from a pan Well right now my lovin' isn't on the table We gotta make it up as we go along Now that my lovin' isn't on the table We gotta make it on up, make it on up, oh One of us has got to learn to work in the kitchen But at this rate we’ll starve to death And that's why I'm bitchin' That's why I'm bitchin' baby That's why I'm bitchin' yeah That's why I'm bitchin' baby That's why I'm bitchin' yeah
