[Mad Child]

Although I -

Although I -

Although I plan to go out with a bang

Not a whimper

I still gotta watch my temper

Watch over both shoulders

Cuz of what I'm in into

Sometimes I get emotional

Cuz of what I been through

It goes - anger, anger

That's one of my hang-ups

You don't wanna rock and roll

Kid, ya head gets banged up

Feel tension

Blood starts pumping

My friends always win in their fights

I still jump in

And I don't have a drinking problem

Drink, talk shit, fall down, no problem

When I drink it's a problem

Cuz I cause problems

Heh, yo

Cold hearted and I'm so robotic

Not like you forgot

But I'm slightly psychotic

I'm here terrorize the world

Uh, the minds up for you boys and girls


[ Hook ]


[Prevail]

Complete speak

Like a cluster bomb

Cold to death

Hold ya' breath

'Til the dust is gone

From the lost angel city

To the Gotham skyline

We're still public access

But watch us go primetime

I'm cannonball crushed

Like Cain or Abel

I reign like Charlemagne

And just as fatal

I'm not vain or narcissistic

Preach like an archbishop

From the darkest district

In the killing fields

Plant seeds of descent

Fast fascinating demons

Flashing teams with contempt

Self-contained

I'm my own metropolis

Go against the grains

For the throne of the populous

Kingdoms, I want 'em

Hand 'em over, relinquish

Or I'll douse them in flames

That you'll never extinguish

My right hand writes

In sequential order

Eventually I'll make your life span

Potentially shorter


[ Hook ]


[Mad Child]

There's so much dirt

Can't rinse the filth

Wealthy but concerned

With my mental health

Hope to go to heaven

But I been through hell

Think I'm going crazy man

Please don't tell

Cops hate me

They want to throw me in jail

Hate to think they got me alone in the cell

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't go so well

Cuz ain't nobody comin'

When you yell for help


[Prevail]

We're the fast and elite

The young and the vigorous

You should probably keep your distance

Cuz my hungry is hideous

Tell affiliates and friends

There's no need to defend

When the warriors descend

Is where the story will end

We're ageless and timeless

You're faceless and spineless

So let us lead the way

While they follow in blindness


[ Hook ]


[Outro: Joni Mitchell]

Help me, I think I'm falling
