Institution 05:22
why do folks keep promising victory to the underdog…? just goes to the overdog and that’s why he’s the overdog and i go out there everyday to be the man i try to be get an A for anarchy can’t get one in geometry wish i was an institution like apathy or prostitution wouldn’t need to love nothin true that even includes you why do people tell you not tell you not to hang yourself then say, “go and fuck yourself you’re beautiful but change yourself” why do i have to save humanity fill them with sincerity teach those fuckers clarity wish i was an institution like christianity or revolution judge anything i wanted to that even includes you ‘cause i go out there to be the man who fixes it who embraces it who replaces it be the man who goes out there and faces it but i’m still walking circles retracing it why do i suffer silently? have to suffer mildly? can’t i suffer violently? and i go out there to be the man be the man who tells the truth be the man who lives the truth but i stand right here next to a wasted youth wish i was an institution like delusion and persecution rule everything with a selected few that even includes you yeah wish that i was an institution like cynicism and confusion change anybody’s point of view that even includes you… that even includes you…

it's the same wake up sweatin dizzy tremblin day after day  people say they tell me “kick it while you can” but i'm still too afraid  come with me as you are  we'll trip the light all night in every jp hipster dive bar  last night I had another row with my girl  she said, “you don't understand that it's a complicated world” i checked out, hit the bars and when i saw the news later  i just couldn't cope with newtown so I called my dealer  come with me as you were  and we'll get back to where we started if we stick together  my television  pageantry of tragedy is playing ad infinitum  it's the same wake up sweatin dizzy tremblin day after day

It Girl 03:42
your man seems tired a little ill at ease he walked right past me didn’t notice "these" i don’t think the boy doesn’t like what he sees you just gotta remember they’re too easy to please you gotta ooze it out of every single pore to be a queen you gotta be a whore make them all cry out for more and the ones who cry the loudest they’re the ones to ignore you gotta be a locomotive on a one track mind don’t let him sleep alone when you’re so inclined teach him again if he’s forgot to grind and walk out before the check comes wherever you dine you gotta get him 'til his eyes are nice and wide close the door behind you then invite him inside keep your position solidified it’ll turn him into jelly when the rules are applied you gotta be absolutely awash in sex a feral feminine tyrannosaurus rex you gotta be the chick your face reflects and you’re guaranteed to be the one he selects don’t while away your days when you’ve got feminine wiles strut and shout commands like you’re the queen of the Nile there’s no rule that says you can’t be a slut in style and there’s nothing else so sacred as being defiled you gotta let him think that you’ve let him win look like a nun when it’s time to sin wanna know where to begin? you gotta make him cry his eyes out before he earns his grin

i don’t need a fancy medical degree self medication for me and i dropped out before i got my PhD self medication for me well the only obstacle between me and a drink is throwin out my Prozac in the bathroom sink and i forget about my symptoms and embrace the DT’s self medication is the only medication for me when my self medication hasn’t kicked in yet self medication for me i don't know who you are, but i never forget self medication for me well i’m just a normal guy but i got my quirks like resolving things with anal sex and fireworks and i’m shootin up with 50cc’s Cuz self medication is the only medication for me well i don’t have a fancy medical degree self medication for me and i dropped out before i got my PhD self medication for me oh sure i like to keep the doctor away but i ran outta apples so i smoke a pack a day and hit the slopes when it’s 85 degrees cuz self medication is the only medication for me

i woke up this morning fell asleep again didn't get any warning they were after me again i'm not the kind of man you love, the kind of man you hold i'm the kind you cut open, full of candy and gold i woke up this morning, it was the rapture once more the world's ended so many times i feel like i've lost score won't you come up and see me if you ain't got better plans i think i'd look pretty dreamy as the invisible man fresh milk today jack jones gonna ease my sick away i'm getting tired of grey i hope it all turns out okay i woke up this morning can i tell you why thought i heard someone going thru my supply i went to investigate when i got knocked to the floor guess that means it's time to change the locks on my door fresh milk today jack jones gonna ease my sick away i'm getting tired of grey i hope it all turns out okay
