lyrics

(Turbo)
We know how the west was won
George Washington learned how to shoot a gun
And Thomas Jefferson declared the right for everyone
To start their own revolution.

So Good Ole Bobby Lee said
"Abe you're not the boss of me"
Then Abraham said
"Wait I got a plan... we'll call them our equal man"
They both said "Damn."
"Damn!"
And off to war they ran.

(Corduroy Phoenix)

Walking the small world when it's at large
Living my life through Pickett's Charge
Ripping and romping
My feet's are stomping
To the beat from New York to Compton
In this nation the problem we're facing
Having to with pride and patience
How many times have we toed the line?
Only to find we're not divine!
A couple of measure have prevailed
In showing us how together we fail!
So be less arrogant things will be peachy.
I will try to be less preachy.

(Turbo)
And though Lincoln's war was won
John Wilkes Booth still got the gun
That led to assassination.

We know How The West Was Won
Well here's How The East Was Lost
"Mortal man with face of clay
Here tomorrow, and gone today."

(BRA The Goat Carcass)
The turn is mine so I started rapping.
Thought for a minute but nothing happened.
It's like my flow was constipated
Older rap music is so overrated
I listen to the album How The West Was Won
Thought for a minute and had to make fun
of the name that is the game
take something great and make it lame.
The name of this jaun is How The East Was Lost
I am fucking awesome sauce.

Speak Easy will get big... NOT!
Speak Easy will get big... NOT!

Do not give a fuck! BOY!
