Verse:
Until the break of dawn
[Riff 1]
Life life
Cannot go by the letter
Time Time
Prozac can make it better
Noise noise
Any kind will do
[Riff 2]
Can you feel it slip away
When it's all on you

[Riff 1]
Crime crime
Rockin' like Janet Reno
Time time
Eighteen and life in Chino
Freud Freud
All along it's true
[Riff 2]
Well you'll see there comes a day
Catches up to you

Pre-Chorus: [Riff 3]
Knock down the walls, it's alive in you
Knock down the place, you're alone it's true
Knock down the world, it's alive in you
[Riff 2]
You gotta keep your head up through it all, you're gonna

Chorus: [Riff 4]
Bust out on it - original prankster
Break out yeah - original yeah
Bust out on it - original prankster
You never stop now, stop now
That's what the main man say

[Riff 1]

Verse: [Riff 1]
You know it smells like shit
Goddamn
Tag team the double header
Son of Sam
Fire always makes it better
Navigate
With style and aplomb
[Riff 2]
Cause wherever you're at
That's the tip you's on

[Riff 1]
Lies, lies
Says he's down in the Bahamas
Tries tries
Bangin' little hoochie mamas
No way
None of this is true
[Riff 2]
Well he'll see there comes a day
When the joke's on you yeah

Pre-Chorus
Chorus

Intro

Verse: [Riff 1]

Well you'll see there comes a day
Catches up to you
