[Verse 1]

Y'all can lick shots and punch out lights

But then you're left in the dark and wonder why I'm talking bark vs. white

And so could be stark perfect white

Instead you choose a down slope, only leads into a cold black night

The whole last night I stayed awake and think about the kids

Who lack of family food and any form of sanitation

And the TV screen is beaming things, repeating stings

Keep on feeding all these greedy kings

And slogans openly program voters so they can close an opening that they oppose

And don't even know

The pain and suffering and what the fuck is filibustering

Vs. busting into buildings that could bust in all the children

Terrorism needs to be stopped

But not by scaring populations with the bombs that we drop

And fuck the cop that puts himself above the general man

Yo we pay your fucking bills and bought that gun in your hand, you understand?


[Chorus]

Y'all can make your irrelevant plans

But that ain't nothing more than a skeleton dance

There's bigger things in the world than the size of your pants

Just ignore the concepts and ring that bell in your hands

There's more wrong in the world than what you're telling your fans

You continue half -stepping in your skeleton dance

And if you don't believe me then you're still in a trance

I'm here to tell you about that motherfucking skeleton dance

Yeah!


[Verse 2]

And it's the fucking sham of the week

Cause while your family sleeps, they're slowly poisoned by a phantom that creeps

But in the daylight appears more snake-like

Tilt your head back hard and just prepare for the snakes' bite

And this ain't right, I'm pissed but I'm also confused

And I was hoping you knew the way out and how to gray out

These images I've been inflicted with since I was six and shit

It's ridiculous to book a while I know it's wickedness

I'm fictionate but I was never into self-help

Most'd melt under the pressure I just cling to my shell

I just think to myself while I swing from a belt

There's 12 steps down to hell I feel like I'm on step 12


[Chorus]

Y'all can make your irrelevant plans

But that ain't nothing more than a skeleton dance

There's bigger things in the world than the size of your pants

Just ignore the concepts and ring that bell in your hands

There's more wrong in the world than what you're telling your fans

You continue half -stepping in your skeleton dance

And if you don't believe me then you're still in a trance

I'm here to tell you about that motherfucking skeleton dance

Yeah!


[Bridge]

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that everybody knows that it ain't polite to stare. But nobody knows and nobody wants to know that nobody ever even really cares

And everybody knows that, everybody knows that everybody knows that it ain't polite to stare. But nobody knows that all the people ever wonder what's for someone else who really ever care


[Chorus]

Y'all can make your irrelevant plans

But that ain't nothing more than a skeleton dance

There's bigger things in the world than the size of your pants

Just ignore the concepts and ring that bell in your hands

There's more wrong in the world than what you're telling your fans

You continue half -stepping in your skeleton dance

And if you don't believe me then you're still in a trance

I'm here to tell you about that motherfucking skeleton dance
