Lyrics

They keep me pent up in this hot and sweaty cage
With a worn-out mattress and a poster of Bettie Page
And I'm supposed to write the great American love story
Why don't they sound trumpets and release flocks of doves for me
I gotta be particular about how my career's handled
Before I record I should go and get my ears candled
I'd like a glass of water and a box of facial tissue
Doing what I do has really never been a racial issue
Someday soon though I'm gonna have to settle down
Before my bones start making that metal on metal sound
The difference between me and other people is the greased palms
I was never one to hold my breath when I released bombs
It's possible that I could be huge but I doubt it
Cause my phone's off the hook but that's about it
Handling my biz, I should really do a shipment
And try to make some money to buy some new equipment
With a brand new mic in a room with insulation
Colored pencils, all I need is inspiration
Which brings me back to this hot and sweaty cage
The worn-out mattress and the poster of Bettie Page
I look at people looking at me, how am I supposed to feel
Showing me a picture that isn't even close to real
The final approach is upon me, I can feel it
So I might call the song I Was Right All Along
Or I might call the song I've Never Had Stitches
Or I might call it Mr. Know-It-All
Or Don't Forget the Chaos
Or Two Sizes Too Big
The Hydra Twist
The Scene Ripper
Creative Differences
No Time to Lose
Or... Beasts, Beasts, Beasts
Yeah, Beasts, Beasts, Beasts
Beasts, Beasts, Beasts
Beasts, Beasts, Beasts
Beasts, Beasts, Beasts
Yeah, Beasts, Beasts, Beasts
What is it?
