No Future 04:33
took the case off my phone today i don't plan and i don't save and when collectors call i hit em raw and tell em i'm not paying a thing touch the scars on my arm and i can feel em freshly cut and it reminded me of wanting to be something when i grew up but it's no future for us stack the pyre, set the children on fire cause i know it's no future and if their mothers complain we'll print their names across some black t-shirts i see the men on jefferson in their ties and button ups and it reminded me of wanting to be something when i grew up but it's no future for us and the sun still sitting there shining down on you watch the cops cut through traffic like a knife spelled out my name in styrofoam cups above 75 looking up at the clouds all milky white don't worry ma, it's life and only life but it's you, sitting there shining

The Artist 03:19
pack of cigs from the change in my coin cup now i really got the spirit of america but i'd be clubbin' with canadian if i could 'stead of shakin' like both hands on the hood and i'm fakin' like it's all good so i just keep singing these bars in empty bars and they got steel bars but i'm an artist i think of myself as an artist and my paypal my paypals my worst pal they never hit me bout no record sales in fact i dont even wanna be pals i never had a good experience in retail they only ever send me spammy email so i just keep singing these bars in empty bars and they got steel bars and when i look towards the future it's like looking at the wall but walls are only so tall when you're an artist and i think of myself as an artist so i just sit up in the crib and smoke my cigs and my folks save all my newspaper clips and i'm not sure why i exist but i'm gonna tell you like i told 'em since i was six i'm an artist i think of myself

gotta remind myself that it ain't that serious the way we come and go mysteriously from black to black gotta remind myself that it ain't that serious and how could you take yourself so seriously in the face of that always sittin' round waiting for my stuff and when i get it, it ain't never enough sinking feeling in the pit of my gut hit the potion crying in the ocean lighters in the sofa with a little change but it's the same, it's the same goddamn thing and it never helps another tray into the cell no trophies on the shelf gotta remind myself... never get around to cleaning the trash out my car for months at a time when it's cold and there was alot on that hard drive they stole but zeros turn to circle when i remind myself...

pump the brakes don't roll the sign you know that we're just killing time so don't be surprised when the keys are in ignition and the caddys are in the sky i'll still love you when cars fly and if the engines and oil bring all the oceans to boil and when the temperature soars if the world gets too warm cause the rich keep fooling the poor i'll still love you when the tide drowns the shore and if the wicked become to strong to fall and if my prayers ain't never read at all no matter imma keep on writing 'til i'm no longer afraid of dying and imma still love you if they're never ever read ......... one more snooze for me and my baby i'm not the man that mops these floors i'm not the guy that flips the sign but i do when i eat the double cheese slices before bed the stranger dreams come to me and leave me with no rest one more snooze
