lyrics
WASHED UP. WASHED OUT.
JUST AN ITSY BITSY SPIDER TRYING CRAWL UP THIS SPOUT.
BUT DOWN COMES THE RAIN. SET FIRE LIKE ADELE.
CAN'T SEEM TURN THE HEAT DOWN BECAUSE THIS LIFE IS HELL.
THEY CALL IT SELF DESTRUCTION, BEING AN ARTIST.
BECAUSE BELIEVING IN YOURSELF IS HARD TO DO WHEN YOUR HONEST.
I'M NO VOICE OF A GENERATION .
JUST A JADED OLD FUCK WHO'S FULL OF FRUSTRATION.
UNDER MY SKIN. IT'S GOTTEN DOWN TO THE BONES.
ROTTING OUT FROM THE INSIDE, APATHY HAS OVERGROWN.
ITS A STRUGGLE AT BEST TRYING TO STAND OUT FROM THE REST
BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS MIGHTY HARD THING TO DIGEST.
SHOVE IT. SHOVE IT. SHOVE IT. SHOVE IT RIGHT DOWN OUR THROATS.
BEEN OVEREATING AND WE'RE STARTING TO CHOKE.
SHOVE IT DOWN. RIGHT DOWN YOUR FUCKING THROATS.
CHOKE. CHOKE. CHOKE
I DON’T WANNA CHANGE THE WORLD, I JUST WANNA CHANGE MINE.
BY STACKING UP THESE PENNIES JUST TO MAKE A COUPLE DIMES.
I DON’T WANNA CHANGE THE WORLD, I JUST WANNA CHANGE MINE.
DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR TRENDS, DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE TIMES.
YOU SEE, I'M TOO WHITE FOR THESE BLACK KIDS.
BUT NOT WHITE ENOUGH FOR THESE HIPSTER TRENDSETTING FASCISTS.
“PUNK ROCKER WITH A LITTLE BIT OF SWAG
HEAVY METAL HIP HOPPER” TALK A WHOLE LOT OF TRASH.
I DON’T SUPPORT OTHER RAPPERS CUZ MY MIDDLE NAME IS SELFISH.
TALK A LOT OF SHIT BECAUSE MY LAST NAME IS JEALOUS.
WACK ASS WANNABE THAT NOBODY LIKES.
YEAH, I'M A JOKE. I GUESS THATS WHY MY FIRST NAME IS “SIKES”.
SHOVE IT. SHOVE IT. SHOVE IT. SHOVE IT RIGHT DOWN OUR THROATS.
YOUR SCENE IS DEAD KID. THIS CITY’S A JOKE.
SHOVE IT DOWN. RIGHT DOWN YOUR FUCKING THROATS.
CHOKE. CHOKE. CHOKE.
I DON’T WANNA CHANGE THE WORLD, I JUST WANNA CHANGE MINE.
BY STACKING UP THESE PENNIES JUST TO MAKE A COUPLE DIMES.
I DON’T WANNA CHANGE THE WORLD, I JUST WANNA CHANGE MINE.
DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE MONEY, I'M JUST LOOKING SOME PEACE OF MIND.
THE GREATEST MINDS OF MY GENERATION NEVER WENT MAD, THEY JUST CASHED IN. FLEW THEIR BLACK FLAGS AT HALF MAST JUST LONG ENOUGH TO BLEACH THEM PERFECT WHITE. THEY CALLED IT CLEAN. A FRESH START. TRADED IN THE REMNANTS OF THEIR MISSPENT YOUTH FOR SOMETHING A PICKET-FENCE CLOSER TO THE AMERICAN DREAM. ONE DOG, TWO KIDS, A 401K TO BE THE ENVY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY CLEAN UP SO WELL. GOT THAT WILD AND CRAZY LIVE FREE SHIT OUTTA THEIR SYSTEM WHEN IT WAS STILL APPROPRIATE TO HAVE THOSE FANTASIES, NOW THEY'VE BRUSHED THE DUST OFF THEIR BOOTS , EXCHANGED THEM FOR SOME WINGTIPS AND LET THEIR NECKTIES DO THE TALKING.
AT THE BARREL OF THEIR STARE THE VIEW DOESN'T CHANGE. IF THEY GAVE UP ALL THOSE STUPID NOTIONS FOR BETTER PASTURES, WHY THE FUCK CAN'T YOU?
IT'S ALL ABOUT PAYING BILLS INSTEAD OF DUES, IT'S ABOUT LIVING TO WORK, IT'S ABOUT THE PRESTIGE. THE NAME-PLATED PARKING SPOT, YOUR TITLE ETCHED IN FROSTED GLASS. THE GOLD WATCH. THIS IS WHAT MATURITY DREAMS OF. WHO DOESN'T WANT ALL OF THIS? WHO DOESN'T WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THEIR NAME?
SHOVE IT. SHOVE IT. SHOVE IT. SHOVE IT RIGHT DOWN OUR THROATS.
GIVE IT UP MAN. HIP HOP IS A JOKE.
SHOVE IT DOWN. RIGHT DOWN YOUR FUCKING THROATS.
CHOKE. CHOKE. CHOKE.
I DON’T WANNA CHANGE THE WORLD, I JUST WANNA CHANGE MINE.
BY STACKING UP THESE PENNIES JUST TO MAKE A COUPLE DIMES.
I DON’T WANNA CHANGE THE WORLD, I JUST WANNA CHANGE MINE.
DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR WORLD. I JUST WANNA CHANGE MINE.
