Smart and Final

I got off the interstate
I got off the highway
I needed to go more than 55
And do it my way
I needed an amplifier killing the garage
I needed a prostate glandular massage
I needed the rivers and I needed the trees
And I needed God to bless me for sneezing on his sleeve, but

I love you baby
You love me too
That’s smart, but it probably ain’t final

Dona Dona Dona
Drinking marijuana
Smoking Ebola with my coca cola
The bullpen’s rich
And they learned a new pitch
From Saddam Hussein and Slobodan Milosovic
African sing song
Pasteurized ding dong
I’m not exactly right but I’ve never really been wrong

I love you, baby
You love me too
That’s smart, but it probably ain’t final

I threw away my camera
I threw away my telephone
I threw away the wrapper that was carrying my ding dong
I threw away my apple
I threw away my magazine
I threw away the pistol at the throwaway crime scene
I threw away my sister
I threw away my bloody glove
I threw away your father and I threw away my love

But I love you baby
You love me too
That’s smart, but it probably ain’t final

I drove to Oklahoma City with my Columbine classmate
Nuclear bomb in the comfort of my basement
Arizona military desert storm test site
Paid subscription to uranium website
Yahoo link pornographical collateral
Damage president erection millennial

I love you, baby
You love me too
That’s smart, but it probably ain’t final

Global warming extra large humongous, jumbo
Tennessee Titans, Dikembe Mutombo
Arco Arena 3Com Stadium
Laetrelle Sprewell, apricot radium
The bricklayer formerly known as Sam
Made a 50 ft sculpture outta raspberry jam
Of his stepmother formerly known as Mom
In a burned-out village in Vietnam
I planted new grass seed on the front lawn
And replaced the nigger boy and the plastic swan
With a life-size statue of Stevie Ray Vaughn
You should come by Sunday when the barbecue’s on

I love you baby
You love me too
That’s smart, but it probly ain’t final

I owe my discipline to the prison
And I owe my life to Christ who’s risen
But I also owe ten grand to Scaduto
That’s why I’m still on the road, even though

I love you baby
You love me too
That’s smart, but it probably ain’t final
