lyrics

Great men exist all over this earth
From struggling single fathers
To billionaire beasts of Pharma
But you have not made the cut
Despite all the beers that you can shotgun shirtless

Sex, weights and protein powder clouds
Cardboard box towers toppling down
Inside the nest egg funded crib your parents built you
Featherless baby crying out
Waiting on worms, one starving mouth
will test its wings and meet the ground

Billy Madison incarnate
All obligation: your penguin
If the doors come off your Jeep and no one's there to witness; did it happen?
If the party starts out weak because your patrons lack in interest; call in reinforcements

Yeah, because it feels like we are invitees not 'cause you want us there, really
But 'cause you need some warm bodies to fill the set inside your playhouse
You roll the scene, smoke to the screen, helpless fish swim up towards the sheen
Belayed down by your loyal cronies to new record lows in social ethics

You have not touched a consenting, semi-conscious, female since we were 18!

No more reracks for you
We're catching fire
Rebuttals of the truth
We're cracking diamonds
You own the field of new
Beanbag marksmen sinking shots on feedback loops
No more reracks for you
We're catching fire
Rebuttals of the truth
We're cracking diamonds
You own the field of new
Dartboard sharpshooters

Utmost concerned with who makes up your Ruit team
Bouncing between bars on the sun-burnt strip
Coors Light and Jager gushing through your bloodstream
Infected, bubbling lip of a soul

Here's to your liver and karma
That sick unit between your legs does not make you not a slut
