These days we just chilling trying to find some happiness

In and out of little bouts of curated laughing fits

I'm here to fill it out a mutilated masochist

Wrastling with the sleeping beauty of this acid shit

We're frozen the shit is openly hopeless

I'm hoping the cope is losing all of your focus

I know that we're dope we don't need to be told this

So get them lined up from the junkies to the coke heads

If you lay them end to end they’d wrap around the earth

About a million times more than the research is worth

So remember the next time your bankrupt

The juice ain’t worth the squeeze according to the pay stub

Everybody’s fishing, these lines they never cast off

Swimming in the soup waiting for shit to blast off

Primordial ooze ninja turtle past time

The best to survive the performance of someone that sly

Waiting for the dinner plates drowning in sweat

There's at least a million ways to make these psychos forget

We built a little maze now we trapped on the set

Death and taxes coming for that ass to collect

Dominantly submissive they laying on their backs

Running out of time waiting for the trojan horse attack

The free your mind generation they are feeling wack

Following the map digging holes but the booty lacked

Better chart the course motherfuckers we on one

Of course the policy is to fuck up the commas

We boiling all the greed right down into the cauldron

While we speak the magic words that will light up the ballroom

It’s hard to make the call when to evacuate

Life in the Faceball coliseum activate

When it’s time to chase down that famous feeling

Of failure but instead you just push back the date

Verse 2

These days we chilling the most surviving catalysts

In and out of little bouts of mutated passiveness

Feeling out the next set of rounds without peeling out

On the prowl getting dosed daily can’t keep him down

He’s survived zombies, boredom, don’t leave him out

Counting down the days to the final rest even now

If this is how the top cast spends their waking evenings

I’m glad to be sitting in the bottom bracket breathing down

The necks of these ominous collars don’t chicken out

When the number ten caller gets disemboweled

And all the scholars scatter across the mezzanine

Instantly vanish, puff of smoke destiny

History repeats and the price goes up

Father Time walking by like he doesn’t even know us

Obviously buy the vibe price doesn’t hold up

Why should he have all the fun while the rest blow up

A bunch of free market know it all's, they showing up

Right before they let the boulders fall we can't hold it up

Much longer we ain't strong enough watching Atlas Shrug it off

Yelling mazel tov tossing Molotov's at OZ

All the wizards were blind to the hostile

Intent behind the process of filming apostles

Let me introduce you to the impossibly

Awesome idea of destroying these obstacles

Big plot monster hole riding across the plains

Looking through the spotting scope, multiple points of pain

Think about it logical, there is little shame in

Living to fight another day out here on the range

It’s hard to make the call when to evacuate

Life in the Faceball coliseum activate

When it’s time to chase down that famous feeling

Of failure but instead you just push back the date
