Rock n’ Roll! To which we sold our souls, To a man in the desert, Man, was he fucking old He made us sign in blood Which I thought was kind of weird As we performed the messy deed, He stroked his greying beard But we’ve grown tired of this rock n’ roll shtick So now we write songs about bitches and dicks We’ve spent our whole lives around bitches and dicks My dog just died, you make me sick He finally succumbed to fleas and ticks My dog just died, don’t be a prick His favorite movie was Homeward Bound When we went out to play, he made me proud He lived the thug life since he was a pup We always made sure had that lean in his cup Don’t get us wrong, though. Didn’t raise him well. Say “All Dogs Go to Heaven” but Sparky’s in hell. We ain’t British though so we can’t “Let it Be” So now we droppin’ Pet Sematary Part III “Aye yo, did you hear that?” “Nah dog, what?” “I get it, but for real.” “For real. I didn’t hear nothin’.” “Listen. Listen closely.” “Ah nah. THIS SHIT IS REAL!? I’M FUCKIN’ THE GET OUTTA HERE” I’m a fuckin’ golden retriever, deceiver, a fuckin’ mind reader as a matter of fact, I’m a fuckin’ pack leader Y’all just sent me down to doggy hell so I came back to drown your ass in a well you gonna get it ruff, and it won’t be pretty You be wishin’ you a pup, still on Mama’s titty I saw your bitch ass friend tuck his tail and run Guess he couldn’t handle my dog-based puns I barked very little, because I was high When my teeth your face, yo I won’t be shy Y’all try to make amends, but I don’t give a fuck speakin’ of givin’ a fuck, you seen my last toy duck? My boy, Cerberus, on his way back t- Wait. When did you get that? *Gunshot* We’ve spent our whole lives around bitches and dicks My dog wouldn’t die, became a zombie and shit He refused to succumb to fleas and ticks He just died again, so don’t be a dick BITCHES AND DICKS YOU MAKE ME SICK MY DOG JUST DIED DON'T BE A PRICK

When I walk into the bar, they're like "Get the fuck out" So I tend to stay at home and get wasted on the couch But no no no, son, not today Tonight I'm going to the bar anyway I'll straight make a grab for all the liquor and run And throw some darts on the way out just for fun Hit a couple dudes 'cause my vision is blurred Try to apologize, but my slurs is be words Chug-a-lug, Chug-a-lug I'm blacked out passed out on your rug Chug-a-lug, Chug-a-lug I really hope I don't get mugged Chug-a-lug, Chug-a-lug Actually it's an alley Chug-a-lug, Chug-a-lug Yeah, this is how I'll always be Kicked the fuck out, now I'm stumbling home Got pissed on my leg by a predator drone Oh wait, shit, dude, I think it's a dog Any sane person would have laid off the grog By now, but I'm still just doin' my thang Then I blacked out, became a part of a gang By the time I came to, though, it was still just me Everyone else had been shot in the knees? Chug-a-lug, Chug-a-lug I'm blacked out passed out on your rug Chug-a-lug, Chug-a-lug I really hope I don't get mugged Chug-a-lug, Chug-a-lug Actually it's an alley Chug-a-lug, Chug-a-lug Yeah, this is how I'll always be Walkin' down an alley now and clearin' my mind I hear some footsteps comin' up from behind This dude stole a purse, and he's getting away This could be my moment, yo, I needed some change Turned around to stop him, I was doin' my best I stumbled right in front him and puked on his chest He tried a spin move, but he fell on some bricks Now I'm a local hero, yeah, I get all the chicks Chug-a-lug, Chug-a-lug I really think I've changed my ways Chug-a-lug, Chug-a-lug My life consists of better days Chug-a-lug, Chug-a-lug I think it's time to get a dog Chug-a-lug, Chug-a-lug Golden retriever can't go wrong

I skateboard through maternity Wards Swinging like a jungle gym from umbilical cords Yeah, the children's tears, they make me smile Don’t get me wrong, though, I'm not a pedophile When I was a boy, just the age of three Saw the first prego mangled in front of me Don’t worry though, dude, yeah it's not an excuse I learned on my own how to drain the juice From the birthing canal with a smile so wide When the doctors come, though, it's time to hide Gotta keep the secret the best I can Then I steal the child, hop in the van Not unnoticed, though. They're always after me You can see my face all over channel three And four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine But black market meat, yo that pay is divine Maternity Wards Make for Fun Playgrounds All these little kids get my head spinnin' round It's a late-term abortion on its greatest scale 'nother dead fetus in a garbage pale I gift wrap my guilt up in dollar bills It's a twisted profession but it pays in thrills Red and blue, they dance across the sky You know the thought had never crossed my mind That this particular heist, it may not end well for me That the cops would catch up as I try to flee This isn't the end, though. I ascend to the sky. John Travolta, bitch, yeah that's right, I can fly Shoot for the moon, at least you'll land in the stars That’s what the babies wish, but I sell them in jars They'll never grow up to cure AIDS or make art Call it Vegas, though, the game was rigged from the start I think I'm in the clear, NO OH SHIT A CHOPPER Took out the engine, a fuckin' showstopper It could be over, no, but not for me Bust out the parachute and only scraped my knees Maternity Wards Make for Fun Playgrounds All these little kids get my head spinnin' round It's a late-term abortion on its greatest scale 'nother dead fetus in a garbage pale You will never take me alive I'm fucking infinite, bitch

Look out below! Here comes Stevie Wonder He'll come crashing down like incredible thunder Did you bang your mom? You Oedipus me off. Threw himself from a cliff while they sat and scoffed The hotel told us to get off their property But we've returned to finish Sophocle's prophecy When senses fail, we're always near. Even blind eyes can see death clear. You can't hide under your cool-guy shades We're unsympathetic. We'll toss you away. But don't worry, friend. You won't be alone. We'll have your seeing eye dog will play fetch with your bones. You should have known when your cane stopped clacking That something terrible was happening. We lead the Blind, but to elevator shafts. As they fall to their doom, we point and laugh. You think you people are better me Think you're better than us just because you can't see You can't fool me with your cold, dead eyes I see right through your reptile lies Welcome to your grave of cables and steel You may not see but we know you feel the terror coursing right through your veins Fall twelve floors, out come your brains. Petrify a family of five. Descending down while you take your dive. One loud "ding!" It's going down. A lonely saxophone plays in the background You should have known when your cane stopped clacking. That something terrible was happening. We lead the Blind, but to elevator shafts. As they fall to their doom, we point and laugh You wonder why we act this way It's only 'cause we like to play When we kill, something clicks Just like their fucking walking sticks

Oh. Shit. I'm back for more. It's the return of baby killer galore. The cops wanted a shootout, well I wanted war I left them all as a pile of gore, bitch I prowl the streets, set out to meet my needs I'm still not over my scraped ass knees Then I happened upon the weapon of my dreams Equipped to fill the night with endless screams Think of this as population control Call me unorthodox. I make my own hole Caesar was born by similar means But I like it more when the pretty girl screams I lurk in the shadows, stalking my prey See a pregnant girl and I'm just like "Yo" I greet her with a smile and a motorized blade Not tonight, bitch. You're not getting away! I begin my pursuit, but my knees are sore I follow close behind while screaming "Whore!" Cornered the girl, now I'm going in raw Time to perform C-section with a chainsaw Think of this as population control Call me unorthodox. I make my own hole Caesar was born by similar means But I like it more when the pretty girl screams The cops got called, I should have known from the start 'Cause I got sloppy when I tore her apart Throw the chainsaw; cop caught it with his head Dude flops over. Oh shit, he's dead. But now I'm unarmed. I make a break for the trees. Cops got me in their sights. Pow, they took out my knees. Crawl into the brush, but it's far too late I should have just let these people procreate Think of this as population control Call me unorthodox. I make my own hole Caesar was born by similar means But I like it more when the pretty girl screams IN MY DYING MOMENTS, THEY STOMPED MY KNEES "LEAVE THEM ALONE" I BEG AND I PLEAD DO WHAT YOU WILL WITH THE REST OF ME MY KNEES MY KNEES GOD PLEASE MY KNEES
