lyrics

Don't bring an umbrella to a gunfight
It ends poorly
Unless it's Batman II, your shit ain't bullet proof
Prepare accordingly
If this machine kills fascists, do so expeditiously
Angry parent counts to 3 don't cut it
Bread loaves and mustard are for closers not capos
Careful what you covet
Lotta budget covens out there for my taste buds
I'm nonplussed
It's too sus
That's my 2 bucks
Vagabondish
Hit me with a glass of suds and a bag of buds
Poor coping skills 101 since the fucking jump
Still here somehow
Survivors guilt followed
Made space in my marrow
Lifelines narrow
You the hero or nero?
The sauce or the gyro?
Some peaks, lotta B-roll
Downing scotch at the bistro
It's all a peep show
Casualties of cheap shots and weak blow

Watch the leaves go
Damn
Looking bleak man
Uh huh
Watch the leaves go on by
Andy day now
Goodbye

I'm a big dope, smoking big dope
Listening to this big dope's mirrors and smoke
Hey, hey, hey
It could be more than this, there's gotta be more than this
Cool world, what's the twist?
I'm a big dope, smoking big dope
Listening to this big dope's mirrors and smoke
Hey, hey, hey
It could be more than this, it's gotta be more than this
Cool world, what's the twist?
On a fool's mission
Wouldn't do different if you get my inference
I got my True North
And if I lose that I'll hop back on the Newports
Or Kools
Whichever gets me across the finish line big sleeping
My soul refuses all appeasement
No reaches or leeches
It's called a tear down for a reason
It's rotten with roaches
A single tear, I bleed clear
Camouflaging my emotions
Survive bombardment
Impossible to not con carne
Until our wars are all our fathers battles reincarnate
