passin' licks hands to self
on your best behavior beat with belts
dry skin ashy, water filled whelps
play it cool and try not to melt
cashed in the chips when the cards were dealt
numb when the feeling was felt
a poor man has to flaunt his wealth
as broad daylight exposes the stealth
sickness, but still you got your health
nothing shown displayed on the shelf
immaculate garbage pelt
gotta release the contempt that was held
triple double dare
home of the brave got scared
put together just to tear
got blinded by the stare
wide eye open for the glare
faithful to the affair
perfectly unfair
naked clothes to wear
stingy with your share
shaving bald hair
right here is over there
something in common with a form that's rare
a form that's rare
a form that's rare
lie to don't do it, truth or dare
i'm not here, but the map reads 'you are there'
funny how the unconcerned show that they care
living a day in the life where everything is fair
as the next man strips the bride bare
empty-handed with a fist full of hair
this is where the poor never count their share
and also where the naked always have something to wear
something to wear
something to wear
