Let's meet Jeffery (Jeffery) Shoots dope lefty Yellin', "You can't catch me" Drove way out to the sea in a Jetski
Oh, my Gertrude, I don't wanna hurt you I just wanna live like a soda commercial Found her on the shore in her brand new church shoes Covered in burns, face all purple
The world has a sickness (sickness) It's hidden in the gimmicks Beamed through the TVs and the satellite dishes Teach a man to fish and he'll catch two fishes Start his own business, tax-free - it's religious
Bats in the belfry (woo-hah) Rotten on the vine (ha-ha, ha, ha) Can't keep my eyes closed (woo-hah) Sunny all the time (ha-ha) Put your hands where I can see 'em, boy Keep 'em up high This place (place) has gone (gone) crazy
Gooey, gooey gumdrops (gumdrops), a whole bunch of gunshots Two through the lunchbox, one made his lungs pop Running through the E.R., why won't the blood clot? Crying to some cop, looking through the mugshots
Apparently rational, something isn't natural A couple Jack and Cokes got me weavin' through the traffic cones Be cool, Daddy-o, laughing at the last to know Sometimes to free a mind, you've got to crack a skull (skull)
Bats in the belfry (woo-hah) Rotten on the vine (ha-ha, ha, ha) Can't keep my eyes closed (woo-hah) Sunny all the time (ha-ha) Put your hands where I can see 'em, boy Keep 'em up high This place (place) has gone (gone) crazy
The pitter and patter of climbing the ladder Grow closer and closer and faster and faster The fakes and the actors, the preachers and pastors Impending disaster grows faster and faster (faster)
The chitter, the chatter, the crying, the laughter Grow slower and slower and sadder and sadder The fakes and the actors, impending disaster Goes faster and faster and faster and faster (faster)
The pitter and patter goes faster and faster The chit and the chatter goes faster and faster Climbing the ladder, faster and faster Impending disaster goes faster
