I wanna grow up to be a funky Euripides
The fly on the street, the beat bat the breeze
What, the ease, what release, to be or to be not
And see not and hear notCome on, it's not that a big of a deal, just another mouth to
Feed and another breath to steal I feel
I'm loosing my grip about to slip
About to fall off the wagon and have another sipPeriodic fake divines, these times as we see 'em are
Packed with cons that can't wait to see him
The cave the cathedral, the peasant the pope
The hope of the people is a prayer for dopeAll night long we have to keep it up
All night long and right to the next damn day
We have to do the shit they say, yeaAll night long we have to keep it up
All night long and right to the next damn day
We have to do the shit they sayAnd we choke in the vomit of our belief
And we grave as we go on in disbelief
In this world in this life that we are living
Where it is nobler to take than to be givingStop get behind excess stress and no caress
This form of society is making a mess
Moreover it's over and it's a damn crime
How many we are killing in the meantime?All night long we have to keep it up
All night long and right to the next damn day
We have to do the shit they say yeahAll night long we have to keep it up
All night long and right to the next damn day
We have to do the shit they saySo I'm pushed to my feet so I can beat the air
That was giving me heat way back over there
It's only fair to give guy a slack the big aphrodisiac
The new jack the ever confusing cool catNow see me fly on the Nashville skyline
Walking the fine line, reciting a new line
Holding my balls while taking the calls
Sorry we're closed I'm on the bottom of the Niagara fallsBut I still believe and with so little to give
I don't wanna deceive only Malone to live
We take it back that the hope is the dope
The dope's the hope in the shape of a ropeAll night long we have to keep it up
All night long and right to the next damn day
We have to do the shit they say yeahAll night long we have to keep it up
All night long and right to the next damn day
We have to do the shit they sayWe wanna dance tonight, we might dance into a fight
We wanna dance tonight, we wanna dance inside
We wanna dance tonight, we might dance into a fightWe wanna dance tonight, we wanna dance inside
We wanna dance tonight, we might dance into a fight
We wanna dance tonight, we wanna
