There was this kid we knew from some forgotten town said "Beat me out of me" cause my me keeps hanging around then something happened to the boy when the circus came to town where else can you get employed only for feeling down? someone please hear me and come reassure me come reaffirm me and take me in your arms silence my alarm tell me that you think that fear is just a name just a word we say so beat me out of me me keeps hanging around hear me out and then just heal my mind with sound yeah something happened to the boys when the circus came to town where else can you get employed only for feeling down?

Then some aristocrat walking by a Laundromat said that's where they do laundry at they have to pay backwards I turned my hat I'm young and white nerdy and fat afraid that I would get attacked went to my condo where I sat alone played with my iphone private school was such a bore here everyone's so fucking poor don't want to think things anymore just want to drive Honda accord up to the store we'll buy some whiskey then some more and drink until we hit the floor til we don't have to feel things anymore gotta get away you drink again you'll lose your job you still look like a fuckin slob a healthy body helps you have a healthy brain cant barely move its such a chore no wonder im so fucking bored booze used to leak from every pore no wonder you wont screw me anymore

more bored than even the lord when he made the world in less than a week with me he made some mistakes cause I get so baked I can't even speak and at this rate don't think I'll last the week pulling out my hair dear think I see it so clear think that I am bound to fall think they thought they knew me think they wanna use me get me off the spinning ball human resource better take the call look into the void I wanna take roids I feel way too small no bro I don't even lift or have any gifts I'm nothing at all this life's a joke how can you stand it all

I was running with the herd trying not to get destroyed by the ones larger than me There was something in the way that you were watching me that made me feel at ease I would have liked to know that working nine to five is an incurable disease But that's just how it goes for this genius in a bottle with nothing left up his sleeve Like a sun she is a star I must rely Upon the floor just like a dog I'm waiting for a broken bone Life goes on I hardly even notice til you take me home And don't you find it funny how the only thing that money brings are more problems to own Like a sun she is a star I must rely on

Way back Back when Back when the ancients rose again The banged drums They had fun They smoked ancient grass in ancient sun They fell in love with every thing and every one They smiled and they hugged They filled ancient lungs with ancient drugs Goodbyes in disguise were all they ever sung Cowboys must burn their eyes always riding at the sun What makes you so down Tell me can't you see You got brains and looks and stacks of books Please read to me I wish I was blessed Why can't I receive Some brains from books and some good looks from genes Oh please Let's go back when, back when the ancients roamed my friend
