Got a caveman banging on my back door
Got a hang man hanging on my front lawn
Got an old maid wasting away in the living room
Kids in the kitchen with their mouths full of silver spoons
Got a paper full of yellow journalism
A restaurant waiter selling me words of wisdom
The small town crier is chilling with the village idiots
The big city slickers are still busy building pyramids
Got a diploma but no wall to hang it
Tags on the bathroom stall to make me famous
A job description that don't fit the bill
A fatal femme fatale dressed to kill
Get me out of this, lie detector test
My pupils inhale and exhale
My breath is a microphone check, 1, 2, what is this?
In a world where the girl's got retro tattoos
And all I've got is a gut and 
Velcro black shoes
And elbows that move in a way that make space
I'm looking at you(Stay awake, stay awake)
Natural face affected by the chemical leaks
Grammatical mistakes in every sentence 
I speakIt doesn't matter, 
I make enough sense to seem deep
Now, look at me(Go to sleep, go to sleep)
Got a flea circus, 
I'm trying to take it to the road
Got a nervous tick, they think 
I'm faking it though
Got some cat in a back alley scratching up my records
Some big wigs with fat bellies asking for seconds
Got a fly girl with a landing strip begging for hot wax
A lonely upper lip and it's begging for a mustache
A prison system that listens to the parables of 
Johnny Cash
A wannabe war hero who only travels in body bags
I've got a poor man's version of a rich man
I've got a small van swerving through a big land
I've got a road map that's looking a lot like a 
Math testA blocked phone number and a bunk home address
I've got a way out but 
I ain't trying to use it'
Cause I've got some ins and 
I'ma bet all my winnings
If it hurts me more than it hurts you then 
I won't hurt you
I've got more sense than virtue, 
I've got a curfew, it's 12 o'clock
After that 
I'll start trembling if 
I get fed hip hop'
Cause I'm a 
G to the R 
E M L I NIf 
I wasn't then why would 
I say I am?
I said get me out of this lie detector test
My pupils inhale and exhale
My breath is a microphone, check 1, 2, what is this?
