Broken Flashback Rhymes

Recommended Posts

Here's a new song that took forever to put together. It's a 3-parter about a 25 year old still living the dream in his parents' basement. I'm not the greatest guitarist and would have liked for someone else to play the solos.

Sorry but it clocks in at 7 and a half minutes, so it's a significant time investment.

Please tell me what you think: Broken Flashback Rhymes 

 

phones gone dead, bloodshot eyes staring at tv
trying not to think about tomorrow all day
new tat on your sleeve, stoked to show it off to your best boys
yo momma's been chewing out your ***** since you got up at three

so you skateboarded down to the old factory up on main street
drained a pint of jack behind the discount liquor store
topped it off with the two blues you scored from markymarkjay
finally feeling good, finally feeling mighty fine

down at the park you seen the popo taking all the tents down
now they walking the streets with dirty hands held out for change
somebody stole your deck when you took a leak behind the weed shop
icy cold and dark and a bummer walk back to mom and day

you're living the dream, going on 25 in your parents' basement
the future's here and it's darker than *****ing coal
on the tv there's 2 rich old guys yelling and pointing fingers
wonder which of them's gonna rule the *****ing world

up to my ears in cash, benjamins floating down from the sky
sitting on my skinny ***** sinking in a cocaine tidal wave
busloads of drooling fans looking deader every day
there will be no end to my personal carnival of pain
high priests in gucci clothes hawking tickets to taylor swift
pollyanna waving her broken flashback rhymes
canvas of life revived oozing down cracked subway walls
all my homeless soldiers slowly marching to hell 

mom and dad made me = in the back seat of an old chevy
they were parked behind = my favourite liquor store
life goes round and round = sometimes you hit the jackpot 
sometimes you hit the skids = and take it from behind
not their fault the whole world was sliding into the dumpster
the fault lies in the way we're all wired as best as i can tell
so yeah i live in my parents *****ing 2 bit basement
no hope no life might as well just roll another one

mom and dad made me, made me, made me
