The Writer's Thoughts
I hate this album. Transcribing these lyrics was embarrassing, especially "Rap" and "Nope".
The only track I liked here was "It's Raining", which has a better version on "Darkness in Light".
I couldn't write songs like this any more, even if I tried.
The Policeman
A lonely man, stands by the station
He knows nowhere
Nothing to live for
No money for a train
Why is here just to suffer?
A policeman walks over
And sees the man, sitting there
He asks him, "Have you any money?"
The man says "No."
"Alright,
I'll have to take you down to the station
You are arrested for conspiracy to commit fraud"
Rap
And now, some rap:
[Voice 1]
Catching in the soul enemy
Gonna shiny up like a tin of Brasso
Buy Apple MacBook, it is cool
I eat grapes to maintain my health
Don't drink alcohol, that ain't cool
Knives ain't cool blud, they stab people
[Voice 2]
Yo yo, it's your bro in the flow
Catching them hoes, not going to a bow
Look at a bitch go, live in the flow
Testing my hoes, gonna dig a bow
Oh no, weigh the dough
I like dough dough dough dough dough
dough dough in the dough dough
Hanging my hoes, Holed up in alcohol
Like, damn bitch, that's an alcohol
It's Raining
1, 2, 3, 4
It's raining, It's raining, It's raining
I am going to get wet
It's raining, It's raining, It's raining
I am going to be a mess
If I don't wear a coat
I may as well be in a boat
Always wear a boot and hat
You don't want a soggy bat
It's raining, It's raining, It's raining
I am going to get wet
It's raining, It's raining, It's raining
I am going to be a mess
If I don't wear a coat
I may as well be in a boat
Always wear some boots and some hats
You don't want some soggy bats
It's raining, It's raining, It's raining
I am going to get wet
It's raining, It's raining, It's raining
I am going to be a mess
Fall Apart
[Instrumental]
Nope
No human is perfect
We're all just so stupid
No human is perfect
Stupid as as can be
I feel regret?
I feel pain?
I shouldn't've done it?
I just ask for forgiveness
And expect for them to look the other way
But we know how it's not how life works
Nope.
Indian Theme
[Instrumental]
Wheels of Fortune
This does not answer the question,
Why does my country not exist anymore?
It's not up to the man to decide our fate
But it's up to the controller
Who puts his hands in the cab in the car
Puts his hands on the wheels of fortune
And now
And windows
And softwood
And filing cabinets
And God
He is God, from the Kingdom
He lays you down, just a computer
A computer of our own minds
Flash Gordon, can you hear me?
I am not a disc
I am not an object
I am a drive
I am the controller now
I own you, I own you
I am not a grape
I am the camera
Magician
[Instrumental]
One Last
Available in a CVS near you, Heroin!
I don't want to go to school
Yeah, I'm cool
