Ain't Life Ironic?

I not only live in two worlds

But nine times nine times nine lives

Cause I'm that black cat in the doctor's suit hat

And I identify with all those black cats

You know why...

Who died and live on

Who bled and fled the bullets

Doing death row for wanting to live

Ain't life ironic?

As we roll on through the millennia

Catching the sweet paraphernalia

Of the 70s the 80s and so on

As we roll on through the millennia

Catching the sweet paraphernalia

This nostalgia doesn't lull me into a romance with

Platforms and afros

Sometimes I go reactionary existentialist

Into some ism schism of fatalism

As so many brothers are doing time

For a deed undone

Doing death row for wanting to live

Doing death row for wanting to live

Ain't life ironic?

And I'm ready to fuck shit up

I'm ready to fuck shit up

I'm ready to fuck shit up

I'm ready to fuck shit

Doing death row for wanting to live

Ain't life ironic?

Now in this age of cultural dislocation

And deconstruction of the primitive

How about a multicultural biscuit with your tea

A lie reconstructed is still a lie

And you still here

The horror, oh the horror

As they try to navigate these dark waters
