It was like this in 1999

It was like this in 1874

It was like this when you were a child

It was like this when I was a whore, well

They were amassing troops on the back of the isles

They were saying these things; they were all in denial

They were talking 'bout their own front lip

It smelled like, it smelled like shit

And they, they were eating popcorn out of a dish

They were saying, "I wish, I wish, I wish!"

I was buried there in 1999

I was left there; I left my old self behind

Still living but you know I'm not in denial

I said what I said, and I said this

"In 1918, things were better, when I was nothing but a sweater."

Now I'm born again as another man

I'm living on this in this foreign land

I used to be Angora, Angora fleece

Living all sound and I'd eat in peace

And no one knew, and no one cared

And you didn't know what you wanted there

It's not what you were thinking

Living as a resurrection, breathed out the cinnamon

And I was not to be confused

And in 1882, they still sold it to those fucks

Things were going wrong from the beginning

And no one was losing and no one was winning

They just fucked each other up

And in 1999, I was in a park in Chicago

Aw, that was right

He was like a father and he knew what he was saying

And wait, I'm not talking 'bout this bullshit

And I went to talk to the, the Italian boys who hung out there

They said that they would rather see me dead

Or at least not kept

They broke my jaw and I was left to thaw

I walked away and I called my Mom

I said, "Hell yeah! It sucked, yeah! I loved it!"

Break my jaw now

You bring on, you bring it on

You got your ring on your pretty little finger now

One thing you remembered

You were never even once being clever

And you were, were sleeping

You were sleeping when they're saying that there was a phone, yeah

Mistakes were made and I ended up in Florida

Things were not right, I didn't care though

(No matter) what you do, and what you become

Either way, you end up all dumb

That's all right with me now, that's all right with me now

Whether you want to see it

The troops, they were amassing on the porch

They wanted to be their own damn thorn

And in the court of (?) center

The things were better and no one's really tougher

You're talkin' loud, you're talkin' proud

You trumpin' now

Aw shit, well, you said then, what you meant then

What you did then was you wanted to have sex

You could not do, you could not do

You could not pull it out but you tried to

And you said, "Well, I don't need-

I don't need to wear myself a bikini tonight,"

It brings me to the embarrassment

I was sitting on a raft with the pond sediment

And they said, "Hell, yeah, oh hell, yeah!

You look naked as shit but you're drunk so you don't care!"

Well, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

[Isaac]: So if anyone's recording this show, if I could have a copy of that... please, 'cause it's the only time I'll ever hear it either

*gibberish* Don't ask me to speak fuckin' English again! I'm in Canada, I speak Canadian, man

You know, that was about as dumb as it gets. Y'all just ignore that, drink a beer and forget it
