lyrics

Waking up at 2 PM from sleeping off another story
Digging in your graveyard as the moon shines out his hidden glory
Patter through the digest where he's mentioned in the footnotes that adore
When the city life's a bore he is sleeping on the floor to acquaint the ghetto lore

It was nice to be a youngster on a quest for being free
Looking forward to the revolution paved with gore debris
Seeing as the years have altered every notion within sight
he's still cutting veins and brains, though with a paper pure and white

All this status quo is grating, what we need's a good old fighting
He condemns your every song that doesn't speak for biting underdogs
And with a papercut he rips the group he said you're in in half
The city life's a laugh, so he loosens up his scarf, passing red wine with a barf

It was nice to be a youngster on a quest for being free
Looking forward to the revolution paved with gore debris
Seeing as the years have altered every notion within sight
he's still cutting veins and brains, though with a paper pure and white

Agitating as a newborn christ
Speaking up, dressing down for the kid on the block he missed out on to be
He wants to be alone as the man of everyone and remain in the sun
with the ones being the youngsters on a quest for being free
Looking forward to the revolution paved with gore debris
Seeing as the years have altered every notion within sight
he's still cutting veins and brains, though with a paper pure and white
