The salesman is trying to get me into buying more crap than the crap i need Listen to me sir i don't wanna tell you you're a jerk but i don't wanna buy your merch An Astronaut armed with a glock may not conduct the rocket that will lead you on Funky planet nor hip-hop magnetland, crooner's branch or the Mental harrassement Lethal engagement Paypal arrangement the candle salesman isn't gone yet I'm calling my mom there, he'll drop a bomb man Paypal arrangement the candle salesman isn’t gone yet I'm calling my mom there, he'll drop a bomb man King of the people stay tall When he comes to kill y'all, when he come to bill y'all When he comes to fill y’all when he comes to fool y’all I bet you let the last redneck check your pay check or pay your debts don't be so sketch Get back into that rare car and drive far before i dare to kick your porcelain jar Get back into that rare car and drive far before i dare to kick your Mental harrassement Lethal engagement Paypal arrangement the candle salesman isn't gone yet I'm calling my mom there, he'll drop a bomb man Paypal arrangement the candle salesman isn’t gone yet I'm calling my mom there, he'll drop a bomb man So you think you can tell me i’ve crossed the line Don’t you want me to have fun as long as it’s fine I know you're not mine but in the meantime we've been trying I can rhyme I can think we're fine but Nah i can't deny the fact than sometimes I get lost in my mind And I wind up crashing in some kind of a plain field Backpack trek to a sea food shack Your jetpack wrecks it’s a pea soup snack My words are back right back on the track As factual as it acts it’s a Mental harrassement Lethal engagement Paypal arrangement the candle salesman isn't gone yet I'm calling my mom there, he'll drop a bomb man Paypal arrangement the candle salesman isn’t gone yet I'm calling my mom there (bridge) Bounce right in it if you're static come around 'cause we're addict and we jump automatic (X6) Mental harrassement Lethal engagement Paypal arrangement the candle salesman isn't gone yet I'm calling my mom there, he'll drop a bomb man Paypal arrangement the candle salesman isn’t gone yet I'm calling my mom there, he’ll drop a bomb man I need this payment done I need this payment gone and Amen he’s gone

Papa’s a jazzman, and mama can sing again. it’s not in vain to learn music and jam with friends.

That synth is playing large and That's it we're all in charge yep Bombay Sapphire that Jack admires My Whiskey tastes like tires I'm tired Cheap strong shit won't heal the curse That's as attractive as a horny nurse It gets into you fool people You start having fun when it rumbles Don't get me wrong throw outside what you keep in the inside Don't get me wrong throw outside what you keep inside Don't get me wrong throw outside what you keep in the inside Don't get me wrong That synth is playing large and That's it we're all in charge yep When a 12-pack is cheaper than a bottle of wine You feel it BYOB at the thaï restaurant Yeah we put cheese and sauce on our french fries but we're not pussies like french guys In January you freeze your balls of The colder it is the cheaper your junk comes Don't get me wrong throw outside what you keep in the inside Don't get me wrong throw outside what you keep inside Don't get me wrong throw outside what you keep in the inside Don't get me wrong Don't get me wrong Don't get me Don’t get me wrong Don't get me wrong Don't get me wrong (bridge) Don't get me wrong Don't get me wrong throw outside what you keep inside Don't get me wrong throw outside what you keep in the inside Don't get me wrong wrong Don't get me wrong Don't get me wrong Don’t get me Don’t get me Don’t get me wrong Don’t get me wrong

When chains are wrapped to your ankles strapped So you can’t walk straight or present your hat Your boss is clear he wants to build that track But the whip that hits you should slaughter his back See this is the thing that I don’t comprehend Is it ‘cause he’s white that he’s got the upper hand Skin colour don’t tell a shit about man Put this in your head you’ve got to understand You may think this comes from another time But let me remind you that the world ain’t fine You may think this comes from another time But let me remind you that the world ain’t fine (X4) People get shot in the United States For wearing a hoodie wrong time in the day Don’t you think this is absurd, observe They get hurt they don’t deserve that for sure Straight forward you gotta change you thinking Be partners and friends ain’t a sin Skin colour don’t tell a shit about man Put this in your beard you’ve got to understand You may think this comes from another time But let me remind you that the world ain’t fine You may think this comes from another time But let me remind you that the world ain’t fine (X4) (Ol’ dollar mama sequence) (Guitar Solo) You may think this comes from another time But let me remind you that the world ain’t fine (X4)

Sacha & Paul: I know a thing or two about the two-steps As I am the blue back ace in a red deck I try i try to walk the line for respect And give it up flawless straight from the soundcheck Maybe i Maybe I dont know the scales, maybe I'm a little mixed up when you talk that well But when we throw a fest, it busts my chest And maybe i, maybe i dont care about the rest Paul: a million or a billion fall in the oblivion a zion or a canyon in a beauty pageant if I tell you my story there should be a reason I’m scared to be the one eaten by a lion Sacha: Buckle up, buckle up. The tempo won’t drop Shut up, step up, your part we wont’ crop I’m pretty sure the bridge was no Bebop So Please, Forget about that we take it from top Paul: Gimme a percs kit, beat the perfect fit, keep the hit for a prospect of music Keep the hit or smooth the loop the input frits while I shoot the mood I cook spaghetti but good for my hood Like if Luigi could cook a poutine good. Sacha I told you so but still you put me under the spotlight No time for laundries : white sox and blacklight Is it getting hot in here or it’s just a little stage fright I should have been sober when i attended my first flight. Sacha & Paul I know a thing or two about the two-steps As I am the blue back ace in a red deck I try i try to walk the line for respect And give it up flawless straight from the soundcheck Maybe i Maybe I dont know the scales, maybe I'm a little mixed up when you talk that well But when we throw a fest, it busts my chest And maybe i, maybe i dont care about the rest Paul: Honestly do I need to remind you, that when you back is blue The red deck gets cruel still your back is true Don’t hesitate to go through, stay smooth, stay cool, stay opened to what’s new Don’t hesitate to go through, stay smooth, stay cool, stay opened to what’s new

Gypsy Hobo 03:45
I'm walking in the street like a hobo a gypsy But I feel the funk it frees that fancy Part of my soul that rocks that rolls My heart's unfold my head's like WOO! Look at what you hear and hear what you see Whistle a song give me a good melody Break it up loop it up and sweetened it up A little less pop shit canned hit You got something bro tap the bass Yell what you think right in their face Don't look for the good words, don't fear disgrace Spit your spirit they'll be amazed Don't let them build fences in your brain, It's meant to set you free Don't be scared to scream your name So you can see (X2) Don’t let them put fences in your brain Don’t be scared to scream you name Don’t let them put fences in your brain Don’t let them scream your name Take the time man you know it's fine Relax the game you don't have to walk the line Instead of building a shed until you're dead I beg you to spread some tight rolled swisha Freedom, Freedom for a man who cares For a man who wants to share his part of the cake Freedom Please untie my chains Cause i feel the need for freedom in my veins You don't have to worry anyway you're fired Go outside and join the riot Be quiet they say to you Let them think they know what they do Don't let them build fences in your brain, It's meant to set you free Don't be scared to scream your name So you can see (X2) Don’t let them put fences in your brain Don’t be scared to scream you name (X2) Don't let them build fences in your brain, It's meant to set you free Don't be scared to scream your name So you can see Don't let them build fences in your brain, It's meant to set you free Don’t be scared Don’t be! Don't let them build fences in your brain, It's meant to set you free Don't be scared to scream your name So you can see (X2) Don’t let them put fences in your brain Don’t be scared to scream you name (X2) - My homies be like - WHAT? - White booty clapping’ - Hooo! Don't let them build fences in your brain, It's meant to set you free Don't be scared to scream your name So you can see (X2) Don’t let them put fences in your brain Don’t be scared to scream you name (X2)

Lost Boys 04:30
All systems go now you know you should grow a pair of balls yo. I share my thoughts yo. When the lost boys bounce you hear the Neverland sound but the story of the boys never ends up out of town The boys’s tale is to get out of bounds, we’re not from around but we sure like the sound Of you screaming out loud the lyrics in your mouth, we’re not giving up ‘cause it’s the first round now Without aiming a hat trick a backflip i'm a prick armed with sick flow, a weird glow around my head shows, that your brain will blow, go get your mom no, go We wanna jump high you wanna smoke high we wanna play tight you wanna stay fly (X3) Once upon a time, Peter had in mind that he could fly through time, he was one of a kind The perfect land is where freedom stands, where dreams come true and parents are banned But boy, you’ve gotta appreciate, the landscape of what your home is made at the end of the day what you want is a nest, oh at the end of the day you wanna see the sun set We wanna jump high you wanna smoke high we wanna play tight you wanna stay fly (X2) (bridge) You’re a citizen of the world,I’m a citizen of the word, We wanna jump high you wanna smoke high we wanna play tight you wanna stay fly 2014 is the year when my homies ‘ll learn to smoke weed so they can hold on peace where’s the line on that weird wide hedge call the train that will shoot you on world wide web From Barcelona to madrid to Ibiza, from Arizona to Cali to Alaska If you think your home is in deep in Ho-Ma, you can’t help it, you’re a rock n’ rolla We wanna jump high we wanna smoke high we wanna play tight you wanna stay fly (X4)

Red Auction 04:39
Between the four walls stuck in the mall The hall’s so tall I don’t think i could fall Grandpa’s are bald and grandma’s call Everybody’s looking for a fresh start Clock is ticking world is turning people are living Time is coming Where they’ll have to let go They have to know, They’ll have to go but you can fight it though Blind buyer thinks he has more time He fulls his cart and he’s sure it’s fine He fulls his card in the check out line He’s got a big stain on his shirt while tryin’ Rooftop falls and the victims crawl The buyer still wants to buy her a star His credit rate is the lowest so far He can’t even put more gas in his car Far from the star, the girl and the car The buyer doesn’t realize that he’s part Of a system that leaves no chance That will drop your pants until you pay your rents Clock is ticking world is turning people are living Time is coming Where’s they’ll have to let go they have to know, They’ll have to go but you can fight it though

Even if we'd like some equality Profit keeps us in its custody The world's losing all its humanity While people still fight for democracy We should learn from our differences and believe that we're all the same We could jump over all the fences but instead we're ashamed of our own names Smashing, mashing, bashing, killing This is the role of peace keeping authority They respond to orders create disorder In the end what they get is autocracy Some companies rule this worldwide concussion They are the ones who created corruption Faked elections, a real infection, Even Sathan'd be ashamed of Power Corporation (instrumental chorus) Take a look at the eiffel tower the great french power Wall street business american mistress Call it sadness for me it's madness This is craziness or much more of a selfish mess A whole in my chest there's nothing honest in this profit fest Movement only means some' When compared to some other run Sometimes it’s only the landscape Running to escape Yet your feet are cast in concrete Until you realize that you were offbeat Delusion of being kept out of the mold And promises that you’ll never be old Pass go and don’t claim anything Going around the ring You can still roll the dice Same result You played it twice (instrumental chorus)

100 feet high Floating on a silent drape Let yourself go to the sound of the waves They'll bring you to the end of your days Don't listen to what they say Make your own goals your own ways Break the mole they've put you into Break the rules that hold you in deja-vu 300 feet tall Walking on a silent path Let yourself warm by the heat of the ashes Dress up clean, be ready for flashes Don't listen to what they say Make your own goals your own ways Break the mole they've put you into Break the rules that hold you in deja-vu chorus: Look for a reason End of the season Part of the fashion Final location Victim of exxon Secret election Crime scene in action White Black or Asian Proud of a nation Think of a reason Pissed of Stephen Fuckin' moron Clash of the titans Eating bacon RIP Jack Layton Honest man What would you think about wake up Not letting the world go down and trying to stay top loose your hand every now and then from the empty cup And do that now before it’s too late to stop What would you think about breathing thinking Seeing the world that goes spinning around What would you think about wake up What would you think about wake up What would you think about wake up Not letting the world go down and trying to stay top loose your hand every now and then from the empty cup And do that now before it’s too late to stop What would you think about breathing seeing Thinking the world that goes spinning around What would you think about wake up What would you think about wake up chorus: Look for a reason End of the season Part of the fashion Final location Victim of exxon Secret election Crime scene in action White Black or Asian Proud of a nation Think of a reason Pissed of Stephen Fuckin' moron Clash of the titans Eating bacon RIP Jack Layton Honest man (Bass solo) (Guitar Solo) (Chorus)

Pavel Bure 08:08
(Intro) You think you’re stuck in a crate, heat ‘round the fireplace Even it’s getting late you can do some crazy prays That your mate will play Around the world again in a state of mind of making friends But in the end you’re in command The cool cave kept me calm and clearer The cool cave kept us clear and clever Watch your step I’m afraid you might fall If you fall right now you’re a big guy to fall You’re a big guy to fall and your faith crawls Expect the worst for a stupid face palm Expect the worst reject the first Unleach the curse help me I need a nurse She’s got in her purse what I need to stay blurred She’s got in her purse what I need to go further I thought I was sick travelling the world quick Never been able to be built with bricks Finding my way with boots and a pick Got a trick to help a foolish prick Don’t stick around too much time’s gone You should be long gone, way done, not home Waiting for the time to be appropriate is like Waiting for a fine to be paid and set You think you’re stuck in a crate, heat ‘round the fireplace Even it’s getting late you can do some crazy prays That your mate will play Around the world again in a state of mind of making friends But in the end you’re in command The cool cave kept me calm and clearer The cool cave kept us clear and clever Lot's of fare waiting to be paid to get laid but hey wait I'm afraid no one's gets laid until the maid is ready for the big game Never underestimate a mate if he's a lumberjack in the forest of late fairy tales And a pint of cream ale won't fail to rehydrate a thirsty male Looking for a reset, it’s gotta be fast No need for any assets, throw them back I’ll throw them back in a lack of tact I wanna hit the road with a smoke and a six pack Get back to realistic facts Get back to analytic stats Get smacked by the angry pats But be sure to get back to where your heart’s at (bridge) You think you’re stuck in a crate, heat ‘round the fireplace Even it’s getting late you can do some crazy prays That your mate will play Around the world again in a state of mind of making friends But in the end you’re in command The cool cave kept me calm and clearer The cool cave kept us clear and clever The cool cave kept me calm and clearer The cool cave kept us clear and clever
