Service animal
Dogs are barking all the time
the crime rate’s 98%
My stress level is worse still yet
Sometimes I need a pat on the head
But I hope my master don’t forget
I’m a service animal not a pet
Come when i’m called
Stay when they say sit
Do what I’m told
And that is it
Got no control
I’m swinging blind
At a piniata
Full of hard times
I’m crossing streets
with no stop signs
The cars go by a million times
The city’s a cesspool of sweat
My soul won’t cover half my debt
No place to rest
No place to shit
Got nothing in my slop bucket
But I hope my master don’t forget
I’m a service animal, not a pet
taught to roll over and play dead
taught to beg for the scraps I get
the teach me tricks, they trick me, I
submit so they don’t kick me I
submit when they still kick me
I guess they really get me
Got a collar round my neck
I wear it ‘cause it fits me
But now and then it hits me
I’m an animal not a pet
I’m still wild, a little bit
You’re all animals like me too
you take just what you need to
but you bite the hand that feeds you
If they don’t put food in it

You, Slot Machine
You make the jokes sound so acidic
You only like when there’s money in it
You just like what’s good on paper
You spell rap with one p, rape-r
You don’t know what it is but want it
You don’t put in you just put on it
you take more of what you got already
you suck the life out slow and steady
You’re not the real world, you’re just a slot machine
not the real world, just a slot machine
you trade one thing for another
you pay half to kill the other
you temp me with a 2 for 1
you fire at me with a starting gun
You think I’m grist for your mill
You cry while waiting for the milk to spill
You don’t lie but say you do
You rub failure all over you
You’re not the real world, you’re just a slot machine
not the real world you’re just a slot machine
your turns last for handcuffed hours
You stuff our mouths full of flowers
You dangle carrots from guillotines
you cut heads out of magazines
you stick our thumbs way up our asses
you see our chance but as it passes
you bend me down for your bull to gore me
you only got that one job for me
You want me to want it but you don’t want to share it
gotta twist your arm just to score your cherries
you milk me like cows at the dairy
you grind my bones like the tooth fiery
you attack in self defense
you get off on the wildest stunts
you toss the board when your turn ends
but I never hit your jackpot once
You’re not the real world you’re just a slot machine
not the real world just a slot machine
not the real world just a slot machine
not the real world just a slot machine

Whistle while you work, asshole
Must be more to life than all this
All work no play do what the boss says
Severance pay is chips and soda
Same shit new day
Got six days work at Dunkin donuts
Say they rent but they don’t they own us
Then lights out by nine in the lion’s cages
the wages of sin are minimum wages
Hi-Ho….
Heaven’s got to be one of my favorite places
Climb my way up to reserved parking spaces
I’ll use my ten-cent shift-differential
And gun it when the light turns yellow
A purple heart for honorable mention
A can of soup from the clearance section
I’ll write my book on trial size free samples
And scatter one in each direction
Hi-Ho….
Hi-ho hi-ho hi-ho…
Hi-ho hi-ho hi-ho…
Whistle while you work asshole
Wrap the world when the workday’s over
In plastic bags and wet newspaper
The graveyard grins like polished dentures
The fountain’s full of Alka-Seltzer
Red tag sale on fading mirages
Uncultivated MacDonald’s arches
In greener pastures all paved over
Neath skies painted grey and prison orange
Hi-Ho…..
Hi-ho hi-ho hi-ho…
Hi-ho hi-ho hi-ho…
Whistle while you work asshole
The weekend’s dead at great adventure
Hung from plastic architecture
On dollar menus long as sermons
And in pants pissed waiting to ride the mixer
Death by visa and discover
And in glasses full of liquid plumber
In spaces meant for dust to gather
The time has come but doesn’t matter
