Whip$ & Chain$
Lyricist:Stephen Malloy Brackett, Andy Guerrero, Jamie Laurie, Kenny Ortiz, Mackenzie Roberts, Jesse Walker
Strange fruit I roll up in my Ford Taurus Emissions won't pass like Gandalf at Moria Way out of order, should be pulled over Pulled out garage, lost side-view mirror
Credit card, final fantasy breaks the limit I just paid, just brakes to break my lemon Didn't make enough juice for my pessimism So I'm not forgiven 'til my debts forgiven
So I skim off the top, convertible roofs Thinking Spanish green sounds like the truth Got it on lock jaw to the tip of the tooth Way I floss, no dental insurance to boot
But my chain hangs low, I could double-dutch Keep my eyes to the floor so don't stumble much I shine bright at night from all the carrots 'Cause it's not who you are but who you're wear
Stay sportin' lashes from the old Massa's Clasps on the neck says, 'Property Of The Masses' And what's under the chassis? Block is gentrified while the governor's classic
Don't know who the boss is Do I hold the power or am I powered like horses? Whip is blowin' out my back like I'm exhausted Pipes blowin' more fire than Pentecost
Who killed Jimmy Tidmore? Why and what's the reason for? Who starts homicidal wars? Rich man, poor man, either, or?
Who shows us what we need? Who's got the bread for the luxuries? Who told us that it's ingrained? We who hold these whips and chains
If there's no lock, who needs a key? When did we stop being free?
I see things vis-a-vis a sea change Full fathom, five people became Remain deep beneath chains We pay into easing these pains
'Cause the history is difficult Wish the results could be flipped like reciprocals Allow me to remunerate aloud the typical Rude awakenings of the drowsy consumer base
Bass boom will make the crowd sing Synchronize to the poop that they're espousing And syncopate to the stupid, take a thousand Sinning like every excuse they make is valid
Simon Williams, I, Wonder Man Just how did our oil get under their sand? And how did our homes get onto their land? And how did our foes get guns in their hands? Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Conflict diamonds, child labor tennis shoes Genocide energy, gentrified gin and juice Slave trade banks, rape-based internet movies What's a straight-laced simpleton to do?
With a strange fate twist and fame Except talk shit and name off a list of gains But do you realize I'd find my lips in flames If I ever took pride in these whips and chains?
Who killed Jimmy Tidmore? Why and what's the reason for? Who starts homicidal wars? Rich man, poor man, either, or?
Who shows us what we need? Who's got the bread for the luxuries? Who told us that it's ingrained? We who hold these whips and chains
Who holds these, who holds these Who holds these traps and surfaces? We want it, they own it So we're going half-berserk for it
Well, let's take it, let's take it Let's take it back before cassettes Pepsi cans and packs of Percocet 1910, all the factory workers said
Yes, we can demand a weekend If we can get the man to weaken So if you're ready then send a beacon To be continued and to begin
We can't be content to steep in The anesthesia invisible hands Of phantoms depend on Your fantasies have been poisoned But we've got the panacea
Who killed Jimmy Tidmore? Why and what's the reason for? Who starts homicidal wars? Rich man, poor man, either, or?
Who shows us what we need? Who's got the bread for the luxuries? Who told us that it's ingrained? We who hold these whips and chains
Who killed Jimmy Tidmore? Why and what's the reason for? Who starts homicidal wars? Rich man, poor man, either, or?
Who shows us what we need? Who's got the bread for the luxuries? Who told us that it's ingrained? We who hold these whips and chains
