You want to cuss and fight

In the basement

The kid want to cuss and fight

In the basement

Warm black rooster worn white hand

The young kids got my name

You like to cuss and fight

In the basement

The kid want to cuss and fight

In the basement

Got a rattle snake on in the basement

The young snake's got my name

You wanna swing that hand

In the basement

The kid wanna swing that hand

In the basement

Drop your medicine, six white sons

The young snake's got my name

You want to cuss and fight

In the basement

The kid want to cuss and fight

In the basement

Got a rattle snake on in the basement

The young snake's got my name

I'm not coming home again

I'm not coming home again

I'm not coming home again

I'm not coming home again

You want to fuck and fight

In the basement

The kid wanna fuck and fight

In the basement

Got a rattle snake on in the basement

The young snake's got my name

You want to fuck and fight

In the basement

The kid like to fuck and fight

In the basement

Got a rattle snake, six white sons

The young kid's got my name

I'm not coming home again

I'm not coming home again

I'm not coming home again

I'm not coming home again

You want to cuss and fight

In the basement

The kid want to cuss and fight

In the basement

Got a rattle skate on in the basement

The young snake's got my name

Wait

Tell me what you've done to yourself

I would like to know

Write it on the rocks and then

Tell me where to go

Why you say wait

Wait

Tell me you're the lucky one

How fast you can throw

Tell me all the things you've done

I would like to know

Why you say wait

Why

Tell me how you like yourself

Tell me how you go

Unlike you were someone else, now

I want to know

Why you say wait

Why you say

Oh wait

La la la la la la la

Why you say

La la la la, la la la la

Why you say wait

La la la la la la la

Why you say

La la la la, la la la la

Why you say wait

So tell me something bad you've done

Tell me bout your ghost

Tell me bout the game you won

And the one who lost

Why you say wait

Wait

Tell me bout your magic touch

Every coin you toss

The cat get out, the dog get in

That's how it's always been

Why you say wait

Why

Now tell me what's so funny, man

Tell me, what'd I miss?

Write it on the rocks and then

Tell me how it is

Why you say wait

Why

Why you say

Oh wait

La la la la la la la

Why you say

La la la la, la la la la

Why you say wait

La la la la la la la

Why you say

La la la la, la la la la

Why you say wait

La la la la la la la

Why you say

La la la la, la la la la

Why you say wait

Why you say

It's not worth saving, when you say wait

Why you say

It's not worth saving, when you say wait

Why you say wait

It's not worth saving, when you say wait

Why you say

It's not worth saving, when you say wait

Why you say wait

Why

Nothing

When you say

Hmm

Nothing
