My veins are blue and
connected
And every single bone
in my brain is electric
But I dig ditches like
the best of 'em
Yo trabajo duro
Como en madera y yeso
Como en madera y yeso
And even God herself
Has fewer plans than me
But she never helps me out
with my scams for free
though she grabs a stick and
then she points it at me
When I say nothing
I say everything
Yeah when I say nothing
I say everything
They threw me down in
the lazaretto
Born rottin', bored rotten
Makin' models of people
I used to know
Out of coffee and cotton
And all of my illegitimate
kids have begotten
Thrown down to the wolves
made feral for nothin'
Quarantine on the Isle of Man
and I'm trying to escape
any way that I can, oh
Any way that I can, oh
I have no time left
Time is lost, no time at all
throw it in a garbage can
And I shake God's hand
I jump up and let her
know when I can
This is how I'm gonna do it
They wanna blow down
in prison
They're lighting fires with
the cast of the masses
And like the dough
I don't fall down
I'm so Detroit
I make it rise from the ashes
