i got really into this album recently and i couldn't find the lyrics literally anywhere!!! so here they are transcribed as best i could. i'm sure i got stuff wrong (i'm marking sections i'm unsure about with square brackets) so email me if you think you have a better transcription ok ??
wrote it in a white book and i can't put it down hit me with a right hook and i can't stay down long enough to smell the flowers take a look at [this friss], mama don't mess around you ought to give an oh shit, well it's safe now come on out and smell the flowers ♪ wrote it in a white book and i can't put it down hit me with a right hook and i can't stay down long enough to smell the flowers take a look at [this friss], mama don't mess around you ought to give an oh shit, well it's safe now come on out and smell come on out and smell come on out and smell the flowers
stand up for yourself or take what you need or do no harm and watch yourself bleed these days i tend to take the latter cause it's still a smile i'm asked to make these days i stray from being louder cause i'd rather not raise the stakes you were always so quietly hypocritical but i'm no saint no, i was just never there to be cynical ♪ wide streets become railroads as the early sprawl sets in if you see what i know then we both know how we began to work for your country is to die for a country that doesn't care if you get any sleep sin off your back is what [???] my boy you get [???] eats i saw your face up on a big billboard four grand is a hell of a lot to pay for when the highway has enough trash it don't need more i could throw a stone about a hundred yards away find forty motherfuckers who would all say that they know you they don't think you're too cool ♪ your home is so modern and clean the way the grass and the walkway gleam in the moonlight and still your selflessness remains to be seen but i know your brain likes to make you think that all this is cause of the good things you did why would anyone think you'd put them astray and why would anyone you'd ever put away cause when there are people that you all hate and despise under my [phone], the cards i never realize burying my hand in the hand of [the wood] and all i had to do was use a god damn gun and still you never put away i thought you missed me but tonight [you are wooden]
[???] take no submission as proper permission your human prescription no smile's worth it you see all people you don't have control of you all know what you're full of remember extortion remember the abusing the [mouse] that you tortured ♪ [cold ignoring] ♪ newer and newer and newer and newer and newer and newer newer and newer and newer and newer and newer and newer
through the hay yellow eyes look for wild shapes you can never trust a snake cause you never know what their game is he rode up on a souped-up cadillac sporting red horns that spoke like he was an artifact waved his right hand so plain for me to see as he spat on the ground in front of me is your life really worth minimum wage you've given too much for all of your rage nothing you do or say will [be worth the price] of life on earth without sacrifice you must not know who you are to them you can't seem to read between the lines but you gotta listen close my friend they're never gonna stop speaking their minds they want nothing to do with you all they wanna do is make a fool out of you make you their little bitchboy make you their little wind-up toy they'll try act so nice you'll try to be their pal ain't no monkey [sheltered] here cause they think they mean business those miserable piles of shit ♪ i felt so pretty in that crown you laid upon my head made of animal flesh and maybe something dead is this all there is to be a man is this all there is to be a man no, no, no no, no, no nothing to see nothing to feel nothing to want nothing to need nothing to breathe nothing to eat nothing to drink nothing to love nothing to hate nothing to feel nothing to want nothing to need nothing to breathe nothing to eat or drink, or love no control no control no control over nothing to see here no control no control no control
the air here's different streets are all the same no matter how different the architecture seems valley after valley try to look for [elom] come to find out the whole time you've been on your own alone ♪ better make way for free coworking space they seem to give away to anyone with money to spend i look at the advertisements outside the arena shake hands with a dino and laugh all the way to bed i'm sure you're sure everyone is sure that you care enough enough to put it all into words ♪ light ignition test the model three displays that plays that plays the plays that the [bankrolls] made and every night when i undress i [???] i call the cops on everyone who goes to sleep the danger [danger] don't know what [???] streets and every night when i get home i flex my muscles and feel alone
