keep those pictures on the shelf
and keep your prayers to yourself
we live like this for laughs, and for the fun
and not for god, not for anyone.

we are our favorite son
our ego weighs a metric ton
we carry a tommy gun
we are no mother's son
and at times in the long run
we stop to see the midnight sun
just to poke fun

no one is ever outdone
not until you get a machine gun
or go on a bank run
because we all want to hit that home run
hey, chicks dig the long ball.
god forbid it'd ever be
us, above all
its me, above all.

and then we hit the wall
and we crawled through the dance hall
for help we called
but all in all
we never were above this cannon ball
and all they did was a give a curtain call

number one
and then we were outrun
and in the year two thousand twenty one;
north korea won

somehow, i believe;
secretively
we're all the same
and we have no name
we will not change.

this is the usa.

we're the lovers
with secrets.
and we'll burn in our shame.

"somehow, i believe;
secretively
we're all the same"

I grew up amidst graffiti
and understand this
in my own way;
we are the same,
but interpret the words
and the signs
differently.
But we are all
human.
