there are foolish things, and there are favourite things.
sometimes, the foolish things are very favourite,
and sometimes the favourite things are very foolish.

i pray to jesus, then i pray to allah,
i pray to moses and i pray to the law,
i pray to the prophets and i pray to the priests,
i pray to the men who demand my receipts.
i look to my future while i learn from my past,
leaving you to fade along with the rest,
i dream of the glory that i've lived in my mind,
to see it all means to leave it all behind.
i lust for my news and my car and my sports,
i crave for a beer and a sixty four port,
i linger in silence while my insides are shrill,
screaming obscenities: steal, lie, cheat, kill!

two for the green
three for the watch
and four for the team
five for the house
six for the kids
seven is welfare
eight's on a street
nine's in a slammer
ten's in a grave
what's gonna happen
when you're a slave?
when you're a pawn?
when you're a lease?
when you're a puppet
chained to a leash?
