Been writing plays for such a long time
Been running in place for such a long time
The bigger the shadow,
the dimmer the light
or
Bitter than sour
Bitter than light
tell me I'm wrong
Man you better prove you're right
or
Bitter than sour
Bitter than light
tell me I'm wrong
Man you better prove you're right
Peek in the shadow
come into the light
You tell me I'm wrong
then you better prove you're right
Don't point the Playboy
Don't point the blame on me
Gotta get butter
Store it your way.
Tired of you tellin'
The story your way.
Grab yo' breasts!
Stop your pressure!
It's got to be purpose
It's got to be skeemed
I'll iron your skirt
But what does it mean?
Tired of injustice
Tired of the schemes
The lies are disgusting
So what does it mean?
Pig in the shower
Peek in the shadow
Stop questionin' me.
Stop pressurin' me.
Stop the Russian in me.
Stop pressurin' me.
The whole system sucks, Daddy
or
The whole system sucks, Debbie
Pee in the shower, come into delight
You tell me I'm wrong
Boy, you'd better prove your point
The whole system sucks, damn it
Peek in the shadow, come into the light
You tell me I'm wrong
Then you better prove you're right
This prostitution, don't it make you wanna scream?
You're just Rasputin but minus the limousine.
With such confusions, don't it make you wanna scream?
Your bash abusin', victimize within the scheme.
Tired of New Yorkers
Tired of their schemes
Tired of injustice
Tired of the schemes
Tired of the screams
Tired of the schemes
