Poetry  

... butt you (no doubt about who it's about)

 

this arcade game in which we all dwell

bouncy ball bumping from heaven to hell

born to the father bow to the son

holy ghost keeps track of all we have done

Now most of us learn to be true and to care

butt you ... you're just not a good sport

'cause you just don't play fair

 

surrounded by riches but meaningless ones

that's all ya can get with your greed and your guns

believing the planet is yours to control

buying allegiance while selling your soul

when it comes to big balls man you sure got a pair

butt ... you're just not a good sport

'cause you just don't play fair

 

this beautiful country created by dreams

is crying and bleeding from your lies and your schemes

ya know most of us see through your sick selfish game

and all you destroy for your moment of fame

I could call you worse names but no need to go there

you butt---e ... you're just not a good sport

'cause you just don't play fair
