Lyrics/Song Structure:

======================

---> Play Verse a over:

   We were born in the seventies

   The rippin and rhyming and brethren see

   We're filling taste great

   In the old school I was eight

   For the new school I was late

   But in high school I was debate

   I rate in the great state of California

   I'm warning ya

---> Play Verse b over:

   Je vais a la plage parce que le guignol est chouette!

   I kick nonsense in French tasty like Crepe Suzette

   I bet you gonna wanna try this but it takes niceness

---> Play Verse a over:

   I like a beat that's unique and I like my head zooming

   And in my Continental you know that shit's booming

   With the diamond in the back suicide doors

   You can look from here to eternity

   And never receive your morsel

   Another tale of ordinary madness

   The girl who gave you her sex I heard was homeless say

   All I really wanna is to feel nirvana

   Won't you take me tonight and we just might find

---> Play Pre-Chorus over:

   A bottle of wine and feel our nasty nature 

   Your tongue lickin' up my tongue

   Your radio pickin' up a smokey jazz love song

   Madness becomes you even though your

   Livin' life it's hard to exist

---> Play Chorus over:

   When you're tempted by flesh you wanna bust through

   Beautiful legs in the bar there is poetry

   She bends and suspends and her ass

   Is a marvelous thing

   A dance dancin' at a club the Hereafter

   Who can't really dance but that doesn't really matter

   And she won't hear applause

   Cuz your drunk and lost

   All light is gone

   Your arms spread like a cross

   And you're dreaming that the world will soon fall apart

---> Play Verse a over:

   Topless girl in your gaze which is hazy

   Takes your dollar

   In the gutter without cigarettes

   Or wine you're hungover

   I was warned of your normal behavior and felt

   My life was too short to consider your wack self

---> Play Verse b over:

   It's like this when you dip down

   And you are boxin'

   Reeling against the ropes and you

   Face some young Mexican

   Your scrappin' your neck gets

   Snapped back your eyes have bled

   Your thinking' about a comeback

   But your takin' it to the head

---> Play Pre-Chorus over:

   You little bastard

   Better watch you back

   Cuz we're after

   Your punk ass by God we're gonna jack it

   You're played out and small time

   And your show is over

   You're 'bout as lucky as a three leaf clover

---> Play Chorus over:

   And your older ho bag sceezer

   In her droopy saggy skin

   Who thought she was a model

   But in truth a never-has-been

   I'll slap that witch as if I were her pimp

   And my crew will attest to her fradulence

---> Play Chorus (x4)
