Passed on a college degree This whole time I wanted a dancing primate I've never seen three crooked cops watching those late night talk shows Put it in reverse, you just want to be loved Put it in neutral, a tragic stilt charade I don't give a shit Exhaust fumes remain nostalgic Microwave dinners melting in a vacuum Lawn gnomes don't practice basic hygiene Hand-me-down knickknacks from porno geeks A chicken beheaded A chicken unbreaded That cartilage will come back in style Neighbor presented the blade 9-year-old anger management case The eyes of Rick Ramirez Riding a chicken through the eye of a tornado Grinding its organs to make his final meal I was the organ grinder on the trampoline performing with a dancing primate
