Fate's Right Hand

Lyrics

Cool as a rule, you don't learn in no school
 You can't brown nose the teacher from a dunce hat stool
 It's the hum and the rhythm, the birds and the bees
 The momma's and the poppa's and the monkeys in the trees
 Brothers and the sisters living life on the street
 Play the hunch, pull the punch, you'll never get beat
 By the junk food, tattooed white dude, true blued
 Honky with an attitude coming unglued
 Fate's right hand
 I don't understand at all
 
 Billy loves women like a junky loves dope
 Give him just enough rope, the monkey's gon' choke
 She's a Bill Blass combo, maxed out mombo
 D.K.N.Y. caught him in a lie
 Ken Starr word, man, were talking absurd
 Spending forty million dollars just to give the man a bird
 He's a king, she's a queen, the rap won't stick
 Get it on with a rubber and you won't get sick
 Fate's right hand
 I don't understand at all
 Red rum, dot com, dim sum, smart bombs
 Double cappuccino and a heart like a tom-tom
 Ozone long gone, that's it, I quit
 Natural inclination says enough of this
 Brat pack black jack, heart attack crack
 We need another news channel like a hole in the back
 There's a 187 on the 405
 We all go to heaven on a hard disk drive
 Fate's right hand
 I don't understand at all
 ♪
 Hard rain fish seine, hurricane Jane
 Don't forget about Carla when you're talkin' 'bout the poon tang
 Slow song on the bone, rec hall dance
 Double date Debbie with a pole in my pants
 First comes love like it always did
 Or we wouldn't be talkin' 'bout The Houston kid
 Po-dunk piss-chunk, old dead skunk drunk
 Trot-line Freddy's got his dogs in the trunk
 Fate's right hand
 I don't understand at all
 ♪
 Fate's right hand
 Man, I don't understand at all
