Malone Lives

I wanna grow up to be a funky Euripides The fly on the street, the beat bat the breeze What, the ease, what release, to be or to be not And see not and hear not Come on, it's not that a big of a deal, just another mouth to Feed and another breath to steal I feel I'm losing my grip about to slip About to fall off the wagon and have another sip Periodic fake divines, these times as we see 'em are Packed with cons that can't wait to see him The cave the cathedral, the peasant the pope The hope of the people is a prayer for dope All night long we have to keep it up All night long and right to the next damn day We have to do the shit they say, yea All night long we have to keep it up All night long and right to the next damn day We have to do the shit they say And we choke in the vomit of our belief And we grieve as we go on in disbelief In this world in this life that we are living Where it is nobler to take than to be giving Stop get behind excess stress and no caress This form of society is making a mess Moreover it's over and it's a damn crime How many we are killing in the meantime? All night long we have to keep it up All night long and right to the next damn day We have to do the shit they say yeah All night long we have to keep it up All night long and right to the next damn day We have to do the shit they say So I'm pushed to my feet so I can beat the air That was giving me heat way back over there It's only fair to give guy a slack the big aphrodisiac The new jack the ever confusing cool cat Now see me fly on the Nashville skyline Walking the fine line, reciting a new line Holding my balls while taking the calls Sorry we're closed I'm on the bottom of the Niagara falls But I still believe and with so little to give I don't wanna deceive only Malone to live We take it back that the hope is the dope The dope's the hope in the shape of a rope All night long we have to keep it up All night long and right to the next damn day We have to do the shit they say yeah All night long we have to keep it up All night long and right to the next damn day We have to do the shit they say We wanna dance tonight, we might dance into a fight We wanna dance tonight, we wanna dance inside We wanna dance tonight, we might dance into a fight We wanna dance tonight, we wanna dance inside We wanna dance tonight, we might dance into a fight We wanna dance tonight, we wanna
