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

Slot Machine 02:53
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
