lyrics

Dreamin’ up dozens of residents for big city dens and then
the robbers start picking up guns again.

Isn’t it a crime that crime can pay so well? And war
can bring in such dividends.

There’s bat signs on this gas line.

No one wants my sea on their shoreline.

Big-ass, knee-high wise guy––he don’t surprise me.
He don’t surprise no one.

Slow down. Be gone. Come back! There’s hail

pelted by Michigan again

+ piss + venom + venison + then there’s men
who pitch their flowerpots down from rooftops
clockin’ heads and loppin’ off roses.

That's Big Steve... the bee's knees (if you ask him).

Cold Jerusalem. He gets to them and menaces rivals

from a precious puddle left in rubble.

Public spittle tilting toward how many other 69 year old men

so intent on boning the whole country?
Makes me queasy. Makes me... comfy.

And don’tcha know that there ain’t no drugs in heaven?

...unless you count cocaine... would you really count cocaine?
