Page 2: A closer look at references and lyrical devices.
I was a misanthrope
On the end of a rope
I spent 20 years six years on dopeTakin’ a piss
While givin’ up hope
I lived a lifetime six years on dopeI was a human trash can
– Shortening my life span
Live fast, die tan
– I think that was the plan
Savin’ all my money for a one-way ticket to AfghanistanI was ezoobeson drunk
– Strung out on junk
Live fast, die punk
– I thought I was sunk
From gin swillin’ and fish tank penicillinI was a Moron Bro
With impetigo
A pleased as punch Dog Patch WinoCasual sex
And herpes complex
Now I’m on interferon and ValtrexI was a child adult
A walking insult
Every shot got more difficultI was a teenage trash bin
– A breathing mannequin
A caustic cause
– Who must’ve loved sufferin’
Do pinhole eyes romanticize heroin?I was a Moron Bro
A circus sideshow
A dying slow Dog Patch Wino
Note: I am not claiming a 100% accuracy as some parts are hard to make out and not all words are actually animated in the “lyrics video”.
