Tater Tot

Lyrics

[Intro]I'm just wondering what the heck is in our water supply
 What the heck is in our oxygen supply
 that creates a rainbow effect in the sprinklers?
 What is oozing out of our ground
 that allows this type of effect to happen?
 It's not just around our sun and our moon any more
 Everywhere we look, the visible spectrum, is rainbows
 This can not be natural
 We as a nation have got to ask ourselves
 what the hell is going on?
 What is oozing out of our ground?
 The day that I enlisted
 was the result of a prior visit with Jesus Christ felt like I was lifted
 Then I got injured and the hospital was like a prison
 Fell out of touch with my faith I was nihilistic
 They call me Cyclops, cause I was blind in one eye
 I'm out the army now I'm tryin to decide
 how to properly fit in with civilians I'm used to killin
 Got me feelin all confused who the hero and who the villain
 Hopped in my red Camaro, shot down the street like lead in a barrel
 Decked out in my veteran apparel
 I drove aimlessly for miles until I saw this
 country that'd want me to kill; I took a bullet for this muh'fucker
 Thousand miles later finally made a stop
 Small town restaurant, God damn the waitress hot
 Ordered tater tots, got her number, later that night
 We was at the bar, takin shots 'til we fell in love
 I said let's go Las Vegas and do this
 Knew this wasn't made for my soul
 Drove all night and was awakened to cold
 She wanna play the slots, nicknamed her Tater Tot
 cause of how we met, cool I need a shower, bet
 Found a motel on the strip, I'm checkin in
 when out the blue some Mexicans came in the lobby like they 'bout to shoot
 some Asians that was runnin down the hall with they guns brazen
 Now e'rybody pullin out they shit like it's an invasion!
 The Mexicans let them Asians have it; Asians had to fire back
 'til they was outta bullets and the blood splattered everywhere
 Deal gone bad or somebody robbin
 Either way somebody's rotten all I hear is bodies droppin
 I jump behind the front desk in the nick of time
 The crook is on the floor, his blood made me slip and slide
 But I'm the last man standin
 A reflex made me grab a cannon out a dyin man's hand
 Then I noticed that a car was runnin
 Sack of guns on the floor plus unmarked bills by the hundreds
 Driver comin at me gunnin
 Sirens blarin in the distance cause the caps are comin
 I spun around and I hit the deck
 Heard the bullets whiz by my ear I let off, hit him in the chest
 Quicker than the bullets left the chamber
 I grabbed the sack off the floor hit the door with the bangers
 Lookin for my lady at the casino, she was in the zone
 I said "We gotta go" she like "Why?" and I'm like "C'MON!"
 No need to gamble baby, here the lick
 Put the chips down we gotta go right now, this little shit
 Now we speedin down the I-15
 First time I noticed that her eyes were green
 gave her a gun and a magazine
 I made her count the loot
 But when she saw the score she pointed the gun at me
 Now she about to shoot {blam, blam blam}
