Dog Days

Arms akimbo, had me a by-myself-meetin', still speakin' in code
 Trust about as far as I can throw
 This ain't the world you used to know
 You ain't notice 'cause it change slow
 Gasoline rainbow, Serengeti cold hell froze
 Numb, watchin' the price on these elbows go through the floor
 The metropolis hum and glow, the tent city grow
 The punchline, the whole joke, the whole thing a hoax
 The empty boast bounce 'round the holdin' cell
 Grandma broach on that pawn shop scale
 Better than me, tried and failed (yup)
 The sun runnin' hot, the tar boil
 The children's eyes shine like bits of foil
 Pig par-broiled, thick lard coat the glass
 Hard R on my n-word, if you have to ask
 The blackest laugh as the crackers crashed, that's schadenfreude
 Whitey always gets his pass, though
 That's unavoidable, like mercury in the fish
 I wave goodbye to Portugal
 The wave high, I'm a long fuckin' way from those portables

 The blackest laugh is the cracker's crash, that schadenfreude
 Whitey always get his path, though
 That's unavoidable, like mercury in the fish
 Wave goodbye to Portugal
 The wave high, I'm a long way from seventh grade portables
 400 degrees, and I can't see Louisiana
 Water skiin', sweet home Alabama
 Play you some Neil Young on the piano
 It's a lotta room in my day planner
 Watch a live show through the camera
 Sent a dick pick and thanked her for the candor
 (Is my phone ringing?)
