《Burnt Pride》歌词

[00:00:40] Burnt pride is a crazy thing

[00:00:42] But now what does it take to make you feel me concrete

[00:00:45] I ain't your maitre'd I ain't on pain relief

[00:00:48] This ain't make believe I ain't on no ankle leash

[00:00:51] I tried speaking in a rational manner

[00:00:53] Tried to get my point across using regular me

[00:00:56] Ans

[00:00:56] I even patterned my delivery

[00:00:58] Similarly after something you had said

[00:01:00] So that you would not interpret me differently but

[00:01:02] My head's on a tree swing

[00:01:05] Your debt's still lingering

[00:01:07] While you erect gates with codes really nobody knows

[00:01:10] I ask why's it always closed

[00:01:12] I'm told it's my approach

[00:01:13] Well let's suppose

[00:01:14] Just for the sole sake of argument that

[00:01:16] Despite the spite and all the ill will you're harboring

[00:01:18] That me lyrics born all this power that I'm harnessing

[00:01:21] That I didn't come in here to no conquering

[00:01:24] That I came in here to do a little bargaining

[00:01:27] Grease key people do some apple polishing

[00:01:30] Maybe hail a cab for my local congressman

[00:01:32] So he can hook me with the landlord in parliament

[00:01:35] Then I'll set up a booth hand pick my operatives

[00:01:38] Train 'em up send my squad of garbagemen

[00:01:40] To spread the good will all in the environment

[00:01:43] And all the false doctrine and all the carcinogens but now

[00:01:47] I gotta be wise 'bout who I'm targeting

[00:01:50] The key is make the young folks offerings

[00:01:52] So that they don't become adults that are demonstrative

[00:01:55] Or else my chances of retirement go spiraling

[00:01:58] So then I work my way into their subconsciousness

[00:02:00] I tell them always use caution now cautiousness because

[00:02:04] Are you absolutely positive that you can make it without us and be prosperous

[00:02:09] You need to look at me and my accomplishments

[00:02:12] Hey I got an idea let's start a partnership

[00:02:14] It'll be just like livin' in a harlequin

[00:02:17] And we'll feed our pond fishies ostriches

[00:02:20] We'll feed the starved kiddies self doubt lozenges

[00:02:23] Just peeling layer after layer off their confidence

[00:02:26] Until it's one planet us homogenous

[00:02:29] Versus one gumball you optimists
