You're just a little piranha now but you wanna be a big shark You'll step on anybody's head if it means you can reach the stars. That's how this works, right? If you get what you want, then you'll be alright. And maybe someone has to get hurt but to you it's worth it All you people make me fucking sick You'll cannibalize anyone just to protect the status quo. Is there a single thing that you think can't be bought or sold? You're just a little podcaster now But you'll go viral and be a star If you can find the bad in everything you'll go far. Don't let anything affect you Only cynicism can protect you

Anthony Kiedis, you can fuck right off Mr. Bungle was always better, so just fuck off All the filthy rich kids get to buy their careers and use their empty hearts to poison our ears So Billy Corgan, you can fuck right off 'cause Pavement was always better, so just fuck off. Oh, of course I'm bitter. Of course I'm bitter. Of course I'm bitter. Of course I'm bitter.

Don't do it with your mouth, I wouldn't mind with your hand. If you could squeeze me in between, well that would be so grand. I don't need to be inside to get what I need. I know it must sound so perverted, but it's all that works for me. So bounce up and down, shake around, wiggle, jiggle. I wanna feel them on my body your pillowy

Traffic 02:06
If you're in such a hurry that you have to kill me, I guess I understand. You've got a big fancy sports car, it'd be a shame to not go fast. I'd like to ride my bike Without fearing for my life But if you take too much Xanax and you run me over, I guess I understand. The street belongs to potholes and SUVs, it wasn't built for man. I'd like to take the bus but it doesn't run anymore 'cause you needed that tax cut

Can I take your order, sir? Should I grab your coat? I'm so fucking sorry about the avocado toast. 'Cause you deserve the world. I shouldn't even get two cents I'll admit, I'm tired of this shtick I think it's time for you to get bent. So all the happy yuppies in their big, warm homes. We're gonna drag 'em out into the street by their throats. And all you trust-fund crust-punks, don't you dare sing along. We'll have you up against the wall before the next song. 'Cause where were you when it got cold? You were gone when it got cold, yeah. You went home when it got cold. 'Cause you can leave when it gets cold, yeah.

Dead Again 01:19
[Money-changer, numberfucker why won't you just die, motherfucker? Payday lender, big spender I've got some poison I'm returning to the sender.] Wave away the people starving, 'cause it's their fault - they didn't have savings accounts. Christ said 'love thy neighbor', but that was before we put the picket fence down. We're all waiting, we're all waiting We're just waiting for you to fucking die already.

Haunt U 2 00:27
I always wonder if you knew those words would haunt me. I always wonder, do I haunt you too? The salt on your skin conducts electricity. It's how you let those songs in.

In the back of a stranger's car Maryland's so near, and yet so far I wrote this song six years ago, but didn't know the words I'm still piecing it together from everything I've heard. Let's walk around these empty fields. Figure it out, then talk about just what it is we feel. 'Cause this city's crumbling into dust, yeah 'Cause they'd rather die with it than give it to us, yeah I am not someone you know. So despite what you said about us, I said "I really don't think so." Now I'll be on the road again in no time flat. And I can promise you I won't look back. So you like seeing people hurt I get it, someone hurt you first and I'm sorry, but if you let that part take you over like I did I know that you will become the worst. Don't let the flowers of evil bloom. Take this medicine, and pull them by the roots I know they've germinated, but they can still be terminated There is still a way out of this doom. Home is not a place I know. Whereever my head hits, I rest. And whenever I feel, I go. I won't be long, now so please; I'm gonna ask you not to follow me.
