Lyrics
Time to escape, I don't know where I'm headed
Up or down, left or right, life or death
I see myself in a mist of smoke
Death becomes anyone who takes me for a joke
Everyone's a killer, you know the deal
Last time I checked, you know what's real
I see my brothers flagging me down
Saying "Yo Daz, what's up with the pound?"
Everyone's got their own way to mow a person down
Whether a handshake or an SK1
The cloud becomes black, the sky becomes blue
Now you're in the midst of the Tall Pound crew
And no one knows why we do what we do
The gun is all I need to put you to rest
Two slugs and dead in the chest
Huh, it's the best
Ninety-five percent of serial killers are white
Ted Bundy, Rob DeNiro, Vanna White
Everyone's got their own way to mow you down
In the Letting Song you're bound
Deep deep, like in the mind of Minolta, picture this
Don't look now, the folk singer clenched his fist
And spread a picnic inside the morgue
Take the elevator down to the earth's core
I got the machine that cracks your chestplate
Open and release the guts and release the death cuts
A brutal jagged edge
Total roughneck, you know what a screaming is
The sky turns black, a moon turns to the sun
The stars convex into the one
Who's singing the song
Like a time bomb
White collar crime, financially motivated
Nonviolent criminal acts by the uninitiated
Respectability, high social status
Sipping tea on the deck with Johnny Mathis
There's a million different ways to mow a person down
Just ask my friend here in the psychiatric gown
Raid the boiler room or the penthouse suite
Watch the lady with the beard sweep me off my feet
