MY VEINS ARE BLUE
AND CONNECTED
AND EVERY SINGLE BONE
IN MY BRAIN IS ELECTRIC
BUT I DIG DITCHES
LIKE THE BEST OF 'EM
YO TRABAJO DURO
COMO EN MADERA Y YESO
COMO EN MADERA Y YESO
AND EVEN GOD HERSELF
HAS FEWER PLANS THAN ME
BUT SHE NEVER HELPS ME OUT
WITH MY SCAMS FOR FREE
THOUGH SHE GRABS A STICK
AND THEN SHE POINTS IT AT ME
WHEN I SAY NOTHIN'
I SAY EVERYTHIN'
YEAH, WHEN I SAY NOTHIN'
I SAY EVERYTHIN'
THEY THREW ME DOWN
IN THE LAZARETTO
BORN ROTTIN', BORED ROTTEN
MAKIN' MODELS OF PEOPLE
I USED TO KNOW
OUT OF COFFEE AND COTTON
AND ALL MY ILLEGITIMATE
KIDS HAVE BEGOTTEN
THROWN DOWN TO THE WOLVES
MADE FERAL FOR NOTHIN'
QUARANTINED ON
THE ISLE OF MAN
AND I'M TRYIN' TO ESCAPE
ANY WAY THAT I CAN, OH
ANY WAY THAT I CAN, OH
I DON'T
I HAVE NO TIME LEFT
TIME IS LOST, NO TIME AT ALL
THROW IT IN A GARBAGE CAN
AND I SHAKE GOD'S HAND
I JUMP UP
AND LET HER KNOW WHEN I CAN
THIS IS HOW I'M GONNA DO IT
THEY WANNA
BLOW DOWN IN PRISON
THEY'RE LIGHTIN' FIRES
WITH THE CAST OF THE MASSES
AND LIKE THE DOUGH
I WON'T FALL DOWN
I'M SO DETROIT
I MAKE IT RISE FROM THE ASHES
