lyrics

my neighbor’s got a fancy hedge, what is he betting against?
my first born to the first who can explain the expense
I keep hearing it all works out but lately all the studies show
the water won’t boil, engine needs oil, baby’s outgrown it’s clothes
where do you stand when you can’t wrap your head around the math?
should i run it back?
the trickier the plot the quicker it gets dropped
my bad! I thought you knew
sorry I didn’t say it, hope you still made it through

and the shitshow must go on so we’re bringing in petty Tom
he’s got the right spirit. don’t wanna hear that you don’t get along
before Nature can run it’s course we gotta tell it where to go
the green light is stalling, destiny’s calling, get in or you will get hosed
we’re skipping to the end and you can bring a couple friends if you want
for twenty a head
and if you burn through your crops well you can write off the loss
what have you got to lose?
sign and date where you see room
