The meta-hustle got the magic and the muscle
got the whole thing locked up tight
Blood bags work and jerk all day
We're scratching lottery tickets all night
Its a hard luck, skull fuck
voluntary lobotomy
We used to rumble in the jungle
now we stumble through the halls of history
I wonder why?
Living truth's got the power and the proof
a gut feeling that you just can't shake
We're either boozed up and bought off
or threatened with the sawed off
Its an all you can eat bullshit buffet
Builds up, sick guts
now the ticking starts to pick up speed
Is it a countdown to Armageddon
or marking time for a dance in the debris?
I wonder why?
No harm no foul no history
They soak our paychecks in LSD
They got piss tests down at the factory
they lock you up if they come back clean
Now the Living Dead will drive it in your head
that work will set you free
One day we'll recall who coined the phrase
and blow up with the memory
