before i was rich i was poor i pinched pennies and seams too payday brought bottles and bills and tape for an old shoe before i was cool i was lame i wore the wrong sweaters and took the wrong drugs now im better i was so unhinged before i was loved i was lonely can i move into your pocket forgive me for being discreet i dont cast a shadow not since the dark shines on me i was so unhinged stranded on edge citys fringe youre either on the bus or youre off the bus and if youre on the bus before i was glad i was sad i brewed tear with my own tears the crusades took place between my ears hanged tortured and beaten cause of shit i didnt want to believe in

can sussman sleep no he cant not with this thought in a noise contest in his head he sees genocide where others see art but thats ok hes got a tonic to get over the bump can sussman eat no he cant not with a belly full of heavyheartedness and regrets from a steamroller blow to the chest but its like anything if its this then it cant be that hes got no time for eternity and actually he could not care less its one of lifes little treacheries that you say please before you make a mess can sussman fret yes he can hes got a plan to have it out with the powers that aint but god is not a rationalist this is his plan for you if you dont like it you can go to hell his thoughts melt in the heat of ineloquence and he could care less his thoughts melt in the heat of ineloquence and he gives a fuck if questions arent obliged to give an answer its no wonder that sussman cant sleep

Prison Break 03:18
scapegoat fleeing in a flimsy escape boat
with an inconsequential head start theres an angry mob with a tv reporter plans to make him a good head shorter the charges were made by a blind pi in a case that would fail in fair court so they locked him away on some trumped up offense since they knew they wouldnt get legal support lie low preparing for the prison break
dig slow careful not to make a mistake he dug a tunnel a mile long but sadly with no sense of direction and thinking by now he must have reached the street he popped up at the wardens feet and what should he see but lawless activity of the kind that condemns you for good but the warden stepped out so all the evidence pointed towards prolonging his sentence its funny how you blame me for all of your iniquity but when i bust out of this jail ill make sure justice will prevail now im free of the shackles you taught me and there is no hell to pay and what should i see but a community that is painfully afraid to be free

Teddy 03:30
on a windy day the people have birds on a leash and he sees linear prisons from the newtown to pieschen it was a typical american foreign policy intervention he fixes razors to a dragon and leads operation force feed em freedom up they fly theres no limit to the sky for an american small fry with a penchant for surprise the bullies from pieschen süd are out skipping steine and skipping schule and double trouble dog dare him its scary but he stays cool he knows he cant throw that far and he knows the meaning of gefahr so he hatches a plan like only an american can from dusk till dawn he combs the riverbank on his own and drowns all the flat stones cept for the final one he throws if you mess with teddy youd be ill advised a strong breeze might break him but hes steel behind the eyes hes a real smart kid fact he invented the word teddys headed to the top of the world hes a real smart kid fact he invented word teddys headed to the top of the world
