Twisted Tales
Rainy days with a cigarette in hand. No better feeling
Outside water taps on the roof
In the living room smoke floats up to caress the ceiling
While the poet just sits. Aloof
Thinking, "is the current weather enough to put a fire out?
To cleanse flame, and order reclaim?"
However, my law is crime to you
And under your legislation I'm supposed to give up time to you
A few surrendered more than was needed
Like Lil' Redd riding through the hood. One pig shot, two more repeated
Why? Because he was in the wrong tale
Could've been the other way around. We didn't get details
The pigs got to keep their homes
Acquitted for having crammed three into Redd's dome
I call that a homicide, and it isn't lawful
You call that a "good day's work." How awful
Snow White makes you Sneezy
Weed makes you wheezy. Get you both? That's easy!
One of them turns a beauty into a beast
The other is used most, yet understood the least
Light another Newport. Night came. The rain left
The flood can't even delay the car theft
Humanity is built this way. Made for malice
How I have envied both Peter Pan and Alice
An escape is sweet and pure fiction
More real are pimps, gangs, addiction
Less fake is Cinderella's affliction
Than the State of the Union address
"Friend, I want to hear about Kim K's dress"
Meanwhile, Hansel and Gretel are both in distress
Too many kids are coaxed by sweets
"But Game of Thrones is too good to rescue them now from the streets"
Cool, son!
I got some booze in the fridge. Open a cool one
Kings sit in a palace able to rule none
Hoodie on. I haven't finished the drink
The waters are turbulent, but we can't all sink
I'm going out
Yes, I'm going out
I'm going out
Yes, I'm going out
