Yet again I'm hustling (x3)
 But I can't seem to catch a dime
 Take a little hit and I lose the time

 I took the man and his horse
 And ran before he looked up
 I said the light's gonna change
 But I'm calm and feeling warm
 And now I'm sticking out my hands
 And feeling weightless again

 You got to push, got to shove
 I've got to eat before they eat me
 Got the crown and the cup
 I've got to write to my family
 And say, "I'm calm and feeling warm."
 I'm not quite there, but I'm close
 And it's a world of difference

 I've got the worst all behind me
 Yeah, they'll never be able to find me
 I'm the king of the city
 I'm a roach and they're all primates
 This is meal time
 Real life
 I'm not gonna fight
 No, I'm not gonna start a war

 I've been right
 I've been wrong
 My smokes [bad word] and gone
 I've been crazy
 Been fed enough to not wind up dead
 And I'm lonely
 My eyes have been closed to the world
 Cause the world's got nothing for me
