Thank you, sir
Thank you
Now, check it out
I know a lot of times
People like to give kids medication
So we could all act good and behave, right?
But fuck that shit
Throw your middle finger up in the air
If you don't need nothing but good times
And hanging out with your friends
You don't need to go to the doctor
'Cause you act stupid, just act stupid, right?
So check it out
This song's called "The Green Monster"
And it goes a little something like this
I trade two blues for a yellow, together it's all green
Turn the lights out, blow me a kiss, and sweet dreams
We assembled an army of likeness and temperament
To smile at the moon in dark days of December when
Crying is evil and laughing is sacrilegious
So competition over whose pills are the biggest
But did you notice when the lights went out, the sound stopped?
When the kids sang, we all fall down and stash pot
It's not as if it's just me that's totally green
The scary face and the bad dream that we've all seen
The spark and desire in the eyes of these children
Been stolen, psychology maskin' these villains
We take pills to go to sleep, pills to stay awake
Pills to get jacked and pills to lose weight
We can't stop swallowing pills, it's so bitter
'Cause rehab is for quitters
We take pills to stay focused, pills to take tests
Pills to calm down and pills to relieve stress
We're all the same person before too long
It goes on and on and on and on
So run around in a circle with your hands in the air
He just wanted to be friends, but he gave you a scare
And you don't care 'cause you're so tough, thick-skinned lead
Fuck around with the monster and he bites off your head
It's not you that he's after, it's somebody like me
But it's highly unlikely, 'cause he lives in my psyche
And chases my demons, yeah, he knows where they livin'
But I wouldn't trade the psychosomatics for no rhythm
It started with one a day, then two every six hours
Then grind it and cut lines to release magic powers
It started with two shots, then turned to a full glass
Then put it all together and you fall on your ass
We take pills to go to sleep, pills to stay awake
Pills to get jacked and pills to lose weight
We can't stop swallowing pills, it's so bitter
'Cause rehab is for quitters
We take pills to stay focused, pills to take tests
Pills to calm down and pills to relieve stress
We're all the same person before too long
It goes on and on and on and on
Have you seen that green man?
He's bad and he's gone
You fasten your seat belts
Those people move on
They chase me, they hate me
It's okay, we still cool
Like bad boys and good girls
The monster knows you
So why is green the color of envy, lust and desire?
And I'd be a liar if I said we couldn't get much higher
And you could be unusually strange and not the same
As anybody else that has two first names
Now we're raising a generation of bankers and dentists
As a young boy, I wanted to be the sorcerer's apprentice
I wanted to save the world, I still welcome the challenge
And refuse medication for my chemical imbalance
We take pills to go to sleep, pills to stay awake
Pills to get jacked and pills to lose weight
We can't stop swallowing pills, it's so bitter
'Cause rehab is for quitters
We take pills to stay focused, pills to take tests
Pills to calm down and pills to relieve stress
We're all the same person before too long
It goes on and on and on and on
It don't stop, now it's always the same
It goes on and on and on and on
It don't stop, yeah, it's always the same
It goes on and on and on and on
I can't stop now, and it's always the same
It goes on and on and on and on
It don't stop, and it's always the same
It goes on and on and on and on
