Under the boardwalk Half eighth and a half-ate corn dog Face halfway to P-40 Warhawk Graze in the gore with the whores and the warthogs Aged in a basement Aes count cake in dog years I'm rich when I'm broke, it's amazing I'm three-eyed fish in the moat, I'm a joke I'm a Kilroy pissed in the snow Most of the extolled folk in his past Grew up into poser and sociopath Old portfolios openly dissed OG morals, Tokyo drift I's low key miffed You was trying to get your own pants un-pissed Yelling "fuck the rich" Now he down low count dough in a bubble Spit-shine shoes, throw coats on puddles In the face of fame I never cuddle with the cancer I'm patient, age-old bugs in the amber Bed-head Lazarus, climb out a time warp No one to impress, what would I comply for, hmm I never ate dinners with pop stars You wouldn't paint litter on a Bob Ross New York slobs hop scotch on rock salt Less 2Pac, more pock marks We don't know Another dough we don't care You're so cheap We don't know, we don't know, we don't know We don't want Another dough we don't need Yours to keep We don't know, we don't know, we don't know Primordial metazoan friends Break bread with a plan to coalesce Turns out couldn't even coexist It was each go Ronin or open a wrist all gross Unsung sons and daughters Mall-rats, brawlers, punks and paupers In a scramble to see who hugs the corners Who cuts the cord, who drugs the gorgeous Who runs on fours through dungeon crawlers On a speed date with a red cup full of quarters A never buzz with the hornets Stay home, tongue on a 9-volt, punk's not a corpse yet Get served, thank the pig No gold, no myrrh, no frankincense A little man-on-wire, no safety net It's a way of life, it's a face of death I cold came in the door sure as Rae is chef Open, robots owning emotion New to a cruelty, humor and love Each day a little less stupid as fuck, hmm Burnouts at the prom Turn down for your mom Truck-stop cutlery, crown to cancel Broadcast from the bouncy castle Let's go We don't know Another dough we don't care You're so cheap We don't know, we don't know, we don't know We don't want Another dough we don't need Yours to keep We don't know, we don't know, we don't know
