[NKNGS]
Five finger discount
Four finger paddy wagon
Ask a snail to borrow shell
You can't imagine how much fun I'm having
Caviar and black tar roads
Who you kidding?
I'm an old man, gold panning
Can't remember what it's like to win things
Sing till the bell in my head rings, then put on headphones
Sit with my memories like my dog sits with his bone and chew until my teeth break
Beefcake religious type of arguments
Just because I have a penis, doesn't mean I'm like you, man...
[NKNGS]
I'm standing hard like a walk that John C Reilly once sang songs about
You try to tell me how to do this better?
You should probably shut your damn mouth
You're grounded, founded on belief that skin and testes are superior
I've been a lot of things I hate
Can't wait to hear this song next year
I'll probably claw my ears out and drink the blood like it was beer
Use the ash from fallen family to draw gothic tears upon my peepers
Sleep like fevered child from 1800s southwest
Count sheep, but still be Tyler Durden when I attempt to rest
I fucking quit this simple system of symbolic symbiosis
Send the sentient a swear word and my sentiment
Go blow fish
[NKNGS & Hootie Rotten]
Everywhere we go, we've never been there before
Adventure is boring
Yachts floating oceans, never touching the shore
Adventure is boring
And I can't believe that the scenery here is real
Adventure is boring
I hope that I never have to go back home
I hate where I come from
Adventure is boring
[NKNGS]
I'm a card carrying member of a crew that holds no power here
My jurisdiction is cyber, save the locked door from whence I peer
About 9 years ago, I made some mistakes that changed my life
I haven't slept the same, since
I'm lucky to have found my wife
I have a life because my family stood by my side and still continues
Bells and whistles fill no cups, but kept the phones available
And 18 months can change things much, but some things stay forever
Take these understandings of poetic lyrics any way that you desire
I can't change you, and I don't want to...
