[Intro]

You've got to be careful because you know, I mean even if kid, if a kid works

The kids got a job somewhere, he's making 700 bucks a week so you know, seven, five, about thirty five grand, that's - nothing

The whole thing, they made the system so you spin your wheels, you're going all the way around

After you pay for the toys, your apartment, your car, you're runnin' your bullshit, your honey


[Verse 1]

There's a smokestack in my mouth

I'm living on the couch in my step-cousins house

Trying's the first step to dyin'

Next thing you know you're cryin'


[Chorus]

At the foot of your own grave

Temporary slave

Just for this one life, your first life

This one life, your first life


[Post-Chorus]

Wha- what, what do you hear on the street?

About what, what's going on with the people and the power of the people?

Walking down

Well, police is part of the problem


[Verse 2]

Pluto and Mars

My head, my heart

The highway is the mercury in my veins

Toxic lunch I can't get enough

Someone give me a cardboard cut out of myself to punch


[Chorus]

At the foot of my own grave

Temporary slave

Just for this one life, your first life

This one life, your first life

This one life, your first life

This one life, your first life

Woah

La la la la la la la, da ooh

La la la la la la la, da ooh

La la la la la la la, da ooh


[Outro]

Trying the first step to dying

Next thing you know your crying

Alone
