My father was an idiot, my mother was a whore
But I learned nice and early, there ain’t no god, but there’s a score
See there’s a cavalcade to life, so who do you wanna be?
Lose your mind like Ruby, or your head like Kennedy
I’ve always loved the spotlight, it felt like a prison break
I’m a song with no real chorus, where the fourth wall gives and takes
So what’s with all the sorrow, if it’s gone, it’s dead to me
Put your money where your mouth is, kid, who do you wanna be?
We can form riots, let’s start a flood.
Let’s sell insurance and protection, lets sell stolen goods for drugs
If that don’t work well then we’ll just be the best of pals! Go on a grand ol’ adventure!
As he spit upon the hand he shook, I shared with him a dirty look
I’m outcast, and caught on his hook, I trust in “Shakey” Steven Brooks!
I know a man without a shadow, I know a woman in a lake
I’ve spoke with lots of people but can’t recall their real names
And I don’t have no secret key, tell me what you wanna do
I’m 10 years your senior, and only half as drunk as you
I’ll call in the artillery, another round of shots!
Don’t just stop to think about it, take it on the rocks
I got a theory on the subject, this abysmal thing called life
Do whatever you want, baby! And don’t worry about the price!
Let’s start a band, let’s go on tour
We’ll sell merch for too much money, have women crave for an encore
If that don’t work out, I’m not stressed, let’s go back to your place,
Because my roof is just a tent
But i’ve got drugs, You can buy us some booze
If all fails we’ll get fucked up, we’ve got nothing else to lose
If no one knows your name, then what's the point, just go ahead and die already!
And every single line I took, I bought it cause he wrote the book
On honest men and dirty crooks, and how to take a second look
How easily they are mistook, you’re not dead till your in the soot
That bastard saint of early graves I sit amazed with “Shakey” Steven Brooks
