Early Retirement Plan
01:20
|
|||
|
Pick some pockets as I walk downtown,
Hide stuff in the garden it'll never be found.
Swallow the things that God gives to me,
I'll live off the land and it'll live off me.
It takes a long time to get it right,
Work all day just to get to the night,
But I am working as hard as I can,
It's my early retirement plan.
Wear the same clothes 'till I'm 85,
Only drink dust 'till the day I'm alive.
Turn off signals and read some books,
Try to write some catchy hooks.

There is a man that likes to stay inside,
Lives with his wife who has long since died.
He only uses reusable fuel,
Fixes things with his special tool.
And he knows that there’s a world out there,
It’s not that that he’s that he’s scared.
He just knows not to go out there,
People suck almost everywhere.
He’s so happy by his fireplace,
Constant smile across his face.
And he showers only once a week,
Underneath a very bad leak,
Reads books about poverty,
And drinks a lot a lot of tea yeah.

Better keep it in your head,
Better keep off it it's driving you inbred.
"Gotta shave ya have a knife?"
"Used his last one on his wife."
"Oh."
I can tell that you've gone slack,
I can tell that you've been having too much craic.
I like to keep things in my sack,
Let it out when I attack.

The President of Costa Rica came walking in,
Took off his hat, pulled up a chair, and bought a pint of gin.
Everybody gathered around him, and they heard him say,
Something awfully peculiar, in a peculiar way.
He say;
He say;
"I don't care what you know or what you think,
If I did that then I would shrink.
I need to be the perfect President,
We need to make a perfect government.
We need to focus on community,
Don't bother with big companies.
If we all live economically,
We could all live off of things in the sea.
And every one would be happy,
I can make this a reality.
So if you like my crazy philosophies,
Then come on and dance with me,
'cause I'm the president of Costa Rica,
I'm the president of Costa Rica."

Permanent Vacancy

Smoking green can take its toll,
I'm livin' like an unwashed troll,
In my room the music's on,
The girl I love well she is gone.
Every day's the same I'm happy,
Every day's the same.
It's comfortable and I don't give a.
Life is cheap when you've no money,
You still get by ain't it funny?
The first world's good for going hungry,
But only if you're tying to get skinny.

Supposed To Be

Turning your back to me
It's really rude
What is it I have done?
Did I eat your food?
What is success to you?
Lots of cash
What is success to me?
Lots of hash
I don't know what I'm supposed to be
But I love myself and my family
So don't ever try to bring me down
Because I love this life and I love this sound it goes like
The best person I could be
Is very swell
But progress and apathy
They don't mix well
So much stuff I need
Right online
I should buy a degree
But I don't even have time
I don't know what I'm supposed to be
But I love myself and my family
So next time you try to bring me down
Just know I love this life and I love this sound it goes like

Two Men, One Horse

Teeth as clean as summer cotton,
Take a look at mine they've gone all rotten,
'Cus I like to get this, get this dirty,
Gonna drink a beer and get all flirty,
With academy members in a tuxedo I look so slim.
I can't escape myself, ego is taking over,
You're like me, you have no lucky clover.
When I was born someone told me "It takes a lot to get far, get going now."
Gone so bitter now I'm happy, please don't talk to me.
These boots were made for kicking ass, and it is yours I see.
Don't feel alive when I'm online,
We need to go out where the lights don't shine,
And where the people dress all differently,
Two men, one horse, and the sea, let's go.
Gone so bitter now I'm happy, please don't talk to me.
These boots were made for kicking ass, and it is yours I see.

Jerry Was A Taxidermist

Jerry was a taxidermist in the U.S.A
Then the navy seals came and sailed him away
Then he was a taxidermist up in Greenland
He wondered why all of the ice had turned to land
Then he was a taxidermist over in UK
Scotland weren't there and the Welsh they ran away
Then he was a taxidermist in Australia
He wondered why it looked just like America
Then he was a taxidermist over in Ukraine
Everything was peachy until the Russians came
Then he was a taxidermist down in the Maldives
Everything was sinking so they lived up in the trees
Then he was a taxidermist for the Head of State
She wasn't very friendly but she paid an honest rate
Then he was a taxidermist out in Mexico
The cartels held him hostage and they wouldn't let him go
Until they did and then he did some taxidermy in Peru
Took some Ayahuasca and he turned into you
Jerry was a taxidermist all of his life
He even met a taxidermist and made her his wife
Then he wrote a screenplay but it didn't do too good
Critics said his message was misunderstood
He said "I was a taxidermist all over the world and the only thing I've learned is that it's fun to stuff a bird."
