lyrics

This is the chorus and we feel alright.
This is the chorus and we're dynamite.

BRA The Goat Carcass:
When the beat is bumping, the flow just comes.
Like a light in my dome as bright as the sun.
Oh shit. Yes I think it's an idea
Brewing in the head like a fine tasting beer
But wait
If beer tastes swell
This would have to mean that I walk very well
And I don't
And I won't complain
Never end my life like Kurt Cobain
Try to look forward try to be sain
Yo what just happened my flow just came?
Spunk juice, all up in, spunk juice in the face.

This is the chorus and we feel alright.
This is the chorus and we're dynamite.

Turbo:
I jump on beats feet first.
And stomp like a dinosaur
Proposing prehistoric war
Talking treason to tur-brontosaurus
You're running toward us,
Saying “sic semper tyrannosaurus rex.”
Taking things out of context
And you're next.
No more questions, we just signing checks,
While no one protects, and the result is like rough sex
And that's why we in a wreck.
In the land before time
Before people can rhyme.
I'm like "come get me later”
Cause a comet hit the earth
And I became an alligator

This is the chorus and we feel alright.
This is the chorus and we're dynamite.

Corduroy Phoenix:
I'm in your dreams and I'm one of your worst fears.
You're the Cherokees and I'm the Trail of Tears
Cheers. Drink a couple beers. Come on get near.
Let me tell you about a thing I saw the other day
About suburban sprawl and the endless highway.
Why say live in the burbs, away from the city?
The buildings are so beautiful, the girls so pretty.
Cities are the places where culture thrives.
Don't move out and let that shit die!
City's are the epicenter that's for a fact.
Are you really happy in that cul-de-sac?
