lyrics

Once upon a time there was a cat that got around, playing roulette like he had more than just the 9, barking up trees tryna catch a golden leaf, the hide & seek champ trippin' through the trapdoor on the way down

Put your hands on me once, shame on you. Put you hand on me twice, I’m taking ‘em off. I don’t care just where you think you stand, patience wears thin when you tugging at that thread on the way down

Take your comic book and toss it in your funeral pyre with your double standards & condescending smile, Matthew 7:12, man, don’t make me laugh. There’s a new golden rule... protect your tool on the way down.

Ch - Red tie, blue tie, same old expensive suit. There’s a storm on the rise and we’re all spectators to our own demise, make sure and wave to your neighbour on the way down

I don’t believe the words twisted on your bought tongue, the battle’s won when the truth surrounds a lie, fantastical fairy-tales, we call it mainstream, stay sharp, stay alert or they’ll drag you under on the way down.

Eat your cake snowflake & know your place, we’re digging up money trees & putting it out your head, I’m only passing through but your kids will pay my share, I’ll come back cap in hand like a rogue in the night On the way down.

Ch - Red tie, blue tie, same old expensive suit. There’s a storm on the rise and we really all spectators to our own demise, make sure and wave to your neighbour on the way down .
