COME & PLAY ON MY BATTLEGROUND, NO FINALE, NO WIN
Pretending you've got something to be happy about, had a B-ball
You did what you did and you've been held responsible for a Sin
Original, venial, mortal or celestial, sand's gone through the glass
How fast or how slow it gets repeated ad infinitum is up to us all.
Fundamental and first thing out of my mouth is on the lip smack
Out of the woods & into an old town menudo, drunk for a scuffle
Dance floor full of sawdust, outlaws, cowboys & cowgirls a sizzle
No apes, just some skin on bones in the darkness' of Hackensack.
Strobe lights go on, sundown just a memory, dark road ahead, Id
Ruling the inner ego & being arbiter of my ethics, a good god kid
Alive through the scuffles & the unconscious bruhahas, pork BBQ
Silver dreams, golden smiles, and more to do with Nothing new.
Pork on the BBQ, chops and T-bones for the minions to cut in two
Masticated in smaller bites than bytes, swallowed nearly or not
Disturbingly predictable, it's just a Heinrich maneuver away, FOO
Unidentified Flying Objects of outer space, so, I think I'm a robot!
Morbidity, quality of being on the way to die, all species comply
No free choice or alternative method to the madness, I'm my guy
Forearms and kneecaps used for the battle, winners always win
I had honor, strength, intent to rise above the fray, no splittin'.
Of leaves you've picked & grinned from a sole soul, a seed above
Below the ground, dirty tricks turned into the sleight of hand jive
Morality and the educated guesses at the race course's finish line
Searched, found, lost it & recollected the whole below, I am love.
I'm beaten, drawn the complexity in a motion picture's star saga
Gurgling every gasp, in and out of my lungs, no capacity for Gaga
Happiness is where it's at but I'm not there & I never will be free
I'm hot, on fire, Chicago white trash junky, playin' on a roll to be.
