(It's) The world's greatest thing ever thung (It's) The sacker and the sit on your tongue Fill up his clip-on tie repellant Squeegee to semi-developed While you were sleepin' he's building Rome in his cellar I'm too alive right now The view to which you subscribe Find the key to parry blockage of the cubicle (?) I had a plate of half cooked matters looking at me stupid Fed 'em to the hogs that waddle between the bookends Look, clear! All I gotta do is: Simply make the greatest masterpiece ever conceived by human students Once I am convinced that the kismet inside the labor Is already incredible I might as well ink the paper Hell yes! Easy-peasy, right? Sure. Hey, whatever makes the hazel glaze well I sink teeth deep in to the chart with a fang but for a hark 'cuz even silly pink bunnies look scary in the dark! Bang on pots and pans, ring alarm swiftly Cue to bugle turbulent, who salute the worker ant? Duke up to the firmament, overthrow the vapors With a fail-safe method composed by your nosy neighbors Like this: Smack dab in the middle of his palms Had a new day victory, ready to evolve Who will celebrate and sleep on the couch To later wake up in the second best seat in the house (It's) The world's greatest thing ever thung Except the last digit, pink in your lung What a genius plan, of on a marvel of engineering to rival the great pyramids and cheese in a can He's in a band called "Birds" and it work? With a root down deeper than the pockets on his doctors So selfishly melt through the piss of Hades As to never note the critics, shake the hands or kiss the babies So the ratings through the chapel roof And snaggle-tooth is focused outside of the jurisdiction of failure among the motives Just when the victory is comfortably assumed You will be woken by the creaky hinge of door number two Door number two, it's sorta like a silhouetted whore in plain view When your homework is due Rhinestone cowboy, nursing his little phenom As an even newer idea poke its head out for recon Oh what a weird distraction, all of a sudden you're lugging separate chapters Original mission is bliss and all But this admittedly is somewhat attractive, even if a little backwards Smack dab in the middle of his palms Had a new day victory, ready to evolve Who will celebrate and sleep on the couch To later wake up in the second best seat in the house (It's) The world's greatest thing ever thung On second thought, check back when I'm done Just for fun, I know I saw them troubleshooting, and you were so focused Cloaked over the mulish buoyancy in the the dosage So roguish, gloating over the merit and majesty in the moment you chose to own wholeness So bogus the coach is doubting his outing Now the same cellar is littered with Rome's homeless Bang Style of that new sensation seems jealous when it notices the stake's location Brains for a second starts hollerin' ultimatums like, "Your last chicken trippin' on some..." Save it, pick a favorite New car smell, walk like a star,? my currents at the bar Contradicts ever jewel I drop, my apologies but what did y'all expect, school sucks Put a bow on this one, rinse and repeat it So tomorrow I'll actually be my zenith achievement To my heart-of-gold medics with aesthetics on a string You will forever be employed by the next best thing Smack dab in the middle of his palms Had a new day victory, ready to evolve Who will celebrate and sleep on the couch To later wake up in the second best seat in the house
