lyrics

1. You’re scrubbing the scum that’s stuck to the floor.
You stay ’cause you’re in chains, God knows what you come for.
You lost me, then you lost me some more.
Give Chance a piece, it’ll love to make war.
When stressed, I request a vest to deflect flack.
If I’m alive when it arrives, it’ll get sent back.
Kids flip when you flop, long drop, try a new tack.
Tell me what you brag about, I’ll tell you what you lack.
Read my palm and debate the theme.
Right past home video and straight to meme.
The last thing I want to interpret’s your dream.
All red herrings are just what they seem.
It’s off to the mines I go, hi-ho,
I know I could kill us all with the right typo.
Broker in time, I ride like a rhinestone
Cowpoke, line-dancing on a tight-rope.

Chorus: We get a kick out of kicking up a fuss.
You’d better be alive and kicking if you’re kicking it with us.
A couple kids to kick around, don’t kick us when we’re down.
Better than a kick, better, better than a…
Better than a kick in the teeth, like…

2. I’ll make your most modest dreams come true.
The least of myself’s the best I can do.
And the best of the worst that you can assume
Is I want you to want me to want you. One, two
Three for the wheel that won’t take a hint
Hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge till you make a dent.
We’re breaking the rules ’cause they won’t stay bent.
Your best intent is a non-event.
When you die, so do all of your future top 10 lists.
No hot dates skipped, no feet kissed, no ears blissed
With cribbed top 10 quips.
No way to discover you have not been missed.
Straight from the pages of your favorite unread book.
If you get a minute take a look.
My deaf, dumb, and blind pawn takes your rook.
If you think I’m mistaken, you’re mistook.

Chorus (2x)

Outro: You can’t resign without your regret
And you can’t give up all your hope just yet.
And you can’t mourn what you take for granted.
You can’t get your kicks implanted. (4x)
