Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Transmitting live from the cusp of extinction
Look you in the eyes like fuck was you thinkin'
I'm kinda feelin' like there's nothin' left to defend
But if we keep it Franklin, it's just another weekend
[Verse 2]
I guess karma really gives you what you paid for
'Cause America-ca-ca got blood in her carburetor
I'm in the mountains hidin' out from the park rangers
Somethin' b'out puttin' a slug in your heart chamber
[Verse 3]
If I ain't the one that wrote it then I quoted it
Ipso-facto, I overlooked your ownership
Kick that back door to open it, broke it in
Hit those bad notes and drove it like I chauffeured it
[Verse 4]
Supposed to get me on the guest list but I'm skeptical
In my profession don't nobody act professional
Decided I'd arrive a little bit ahead of schedule
And started up a heavy metal band with the devil, it goes
[Verse 5]
I been workin' my whole life to touch the ceiling
Don't even know if I'd recognize the feelin'
But I been workin' my whole life
I been workin' my whole life to touch the ceiling
Don't even know if I'd recognize the feelin'
But I been workin' my whole life
[Verse 6]
And it's a viking ship, there's no breakfast
And it's the life we live, it's so precious
Yeah, and don't pretend that you was over our heads
If you know you never meant for us to catch those references
Right?
[Verse 7]
And just so I can understand nobody in command'll willingly
Give up their upper hand
Unless suddenly their gun is jammed
And you pry it form their motherfucking hands, right?
[Verse 8]
And I been workin' my whole life afraid of the clock
And I know that ain't right 'cause I can't make it stop
Gotta show up and finish the shift
The baby told me bein' present is a gift
[Verse 9]
And maybe that's why you refuse to fall asleep
Probably keep it movin' till the heart stops respondin' to the beat
But my brain's still self-conscious
Like I coulda cut my losses if I would have
Acknowledged I was exhausted
[Verse 10]
'Cause I been workin' my whole life to touch the ceiling
Don't even know if I'd recognize the feelin'
But I been workin' my whole life
I been workin' my whole life to touch the ceiling
Don't even know if I'd recognize the feelin'
[Verse 11]
And I don't know if this is how we're supposed to feel
How will I know if this is how we're supposed to feel?
And I don't know if this is how we're supposed to feel
How will I know if this is how we're supposed to feel?
