RGB All Stars:

I cry on the gameshow I tried and I lost

Apply gloss lipstick at a high cost

Why walk home you can sleep in my loft

And your cell phone might sneeze but mine coffs My computer plays spice girls when I sign off and the

First pulp fiction track that line's awesome

All I need to know now is how to find Lawson's

Huh. I guess it's pretty easy

L'Ennui

I got a picture of me lookin at a picture of me lookin at a picture of me

A picture of a picture of me

I got a picture of a picture of me lookin at me lookin at me

L'Enui I got a picture of me lookin at a picture of me lookin at a picture of me

Life imitate art imitate life which are we doin now

Whatever you say I disagree

Just to be devil's advocate I never get mad an 't's why I had to get a t.v

It's got a button for sad and a button for feelin bad and an ad for virtual holocaust on cd

L'ennui pay a fee to feel real, millions afford'em

Bills to eliminate bourgeoisie boredom

Pills to stimulate bourgeoisie tearducts

Swallow the beer cup cuz this year sucked

I got health and wealth but all I bought was a picture of me looking at a picture of myself

Chorus:

L'Ennui

I got a picture of me lookin at a picture of me lookin at a picture of me

A picture of a picture of me

I got a picture of a picture of me lookin at me lookin at me

L'Enui I got a picture of me lookin at a picture of me lookin at a picture of me

Life imitate art imitate life which are we doin now

Whatever you say I disagree

More RGB All Stars:

Survival

Brand new 3-D video game title

Released from virtual media

Fame spread it from east coast to west bay

The top selling game in the USA

Level 1 you're a big-eyed premature son

Of a crack fiend mama in the ghetto on the run

Settle on a gun

Get in on the funds with drugs and mug some old lady for a hundred thugs can avoid being placed in prison avoid wasting ism avoid cops and avoid racism if your face isn't giving rich white people chills beat the level and move to Beverly hills

Level 2 you're a gay or a jew or a gypsy housed in the pits of Auschwitz pick from these nazis if he accepts your bribe, you'll press the yellow button in a prayer for survival

Level 3 you're a Bangkok whore rank top score or you get sick

Level 4 you're an anorexic in denial, rationalizing lies in a fashion magazine aisle

Grab the green dial and keep hope alive on the screen while the scene gets set for

Level 5 after monsoon floods in Bangladesh, bodies mangled fresh, un tangle and guess which is your best friend sift through the pebble and sticks finds food well then go to level six

you're the CEO of royal shell oil ruling Nigeria fueling hell boiling dissidents foiling resistance to wells that spoil the subsistence soil of non-Christians crisis press release create distance sit down and ponder your own existence suicidal open the bible maintain survival and win but then the last level is shot from a camera lens besides your head it's a picture of you that never ends

Chorus x 2

Droopy:

America's funniest home videos see dick fall and hit his crotch

Pretty low-brow so I turn to a titty show

All I did is watch a minute and felt shitty so

Me and myself split a scotch and switch to a gritty slow-motion frame by frame head shot

Screen displaying the brain chunk with the lead caught

All I did is watch as the narrator spoke

Yet Another RGB All Star:

"guess that takes care of his sore throat

The folks in the next scene smoking are actually live.

The footage that is- the people have all died when the irony armies arrived at 5, dropping the sarcasm bombs from the sky"

Droopy:

End quote.

The blood was real and the reel was soaked.

The whole war brought to us by coke

And I thought what shock the show must provoke in those who don't know that it's just a joke.

It's all just a joke, but it's right outside.

Anybody can play if they wanna get as notch on their belt.

I felt I should have a t least tried to help

But all I did is watch

All I did is watch.

A screen full of dots.

Now there's a red one pointed at my crotch.

Pointed at my head it's raw with no edits

So I guess the joke's on me-do you get it??

Chorus x 2
