Lyrics
Senator
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The toxins American made
Weapons clash gray sludge for my friends
Dioxing the chemical subset
The number one subset of all
I know what the senator wants
What the senator wants is a blow job
I know what the senator wants
What the senator wants is a blow job
Heading in the antechamber
Motion to impeach
Cattle prod the working classes
There's some things you can't teach
Because we're fading fast
Like a stone
Come fading fast
Into the picture you roll
Little Nicky Nicky Nicky
Down in Ocean Beach he's strolling
Used to carry his guitar around his back
He's just walking to certain places
And forgets exactly where he is
Smoking weed in our truck
The cops pull up
How can they not know
It was so so so so so so invisible
Heavy heavy heavy heavy heavy smelter
Fuck it!
Is it funny enough?
The serious business is wide enough
My duty to the Republik
Is to loose up and speak because the halo's off
I know what the senator wants
What the senator wants is a blow job
I know what everyone wants
What everyone wants is a blow job
Baby steps up Everest
There's so much trash to burn
You stick it where the sun don't shine
As the world turns
Because I'm fading fast
Like a stone
I'm fading fast
Into the picture you roll
Fading fast
You're fading fast (x3)
You are gone
You are gone
(Look out)
