I ain't gonna lie
I ain't never tried
once in my life  
fat and white and high

puppet
I can see the strings
I know I'm nothing
but a speck of dust floating by
caught in a sunbeam

stole my wisdom
from the gods kitchen
stove fire light my weed
now I'm tied to a mountainside
low times indeed

and the gulls are comin'
to peck out my eyes
at the end of each
and every night
at sunrise

O can't you hear their wings a-beatin'?
tonight's the night they're gonna eat me
tonight's the night
tonight's the night
I got big things
been promised to me

finally
my life will be
hard enough
to write about 
and interesting
to somebody
outside myself

every morning I awake and
give my chains a shake
rattlin' like two battlin' die
on a losin' stake
halfway up this peak

I see everything
history of humanity's
laid out in front of me
at my fingertips

but I squander it
and still my punishment eludes me
comforting, I guess

to find stability in routine

so here I sit
eyes shot lips split
at the end of eternity

Zeus visits me
and asks me what I'm doing
do I need any help?
huh-- I did this to myself

what did the you do today
was it history in the making
or did you waste your time away

what did the you do today
was it history in the making
or did you waste your time away
