cold duck complex - booze & tap water lyrics

[intro]

[verse 1]
never good at leaving well enough alone
burning bridges, slamming doors, hanging up the phone
grown -ss man, with no real plans
closed fist in the sky, with my head in the sand
and you’re god d-mn right i resent the handshakes and the smiles
but i guess that i can fake it for a while
like “hi, how you doin’, yeah it’s been a long time”
“same old, same old, man i’m doin’ fine”
but it only feels right when i f-ck a fight
you could either use that knife or you could let me spend a night
right, naw i’ll settle for a laugh and a drink
we can save the world and leave the broken gl-ss in the sink
a toast to the hopeful
here’s to the cheerful
as for the politicians, man i’ve had an earful
anything you can do i can make jaded
endlessly -n-lyzed and over-complicated
sittin’ in the middle of my grey area rug
humble and hard rocks and embarr-ssing thugs
don’t worry about happiness i gotta relax
i’m just trying to be myself but motherf-cker who’s that?
who’s that?
who’s that?

(nah—yeah)

[chorus]

dear ma, i burned all my dreams to the filter
i’m a self-made martyr with a taste for pain
ain’t nothin’ new but booze & tap water
and the way she moves has got me singing again like
(the way she moves, got me singing again, aww)

[verse 2]
it’s the return of the repressed
livin’ attached to death, just obsessed
trying to learn to love my enemies best
let this cold breath off of my chest
i’m just flesh nothing more nothing less
than an educated guess
yes, yes, y’all, platy-complex y’all
tryin’ to get my mind up out the mess hall
the way that dress falls on her shoulders won’t leave me alone
we make love till the speakers are blown
my very own dream sequence, complete with all the camera tricks
another professional rapper makin’ amateur chips
fantastic, sorry if i sound sarcastic
got a boatload addiction to ironic detachment
these -ss-kicking machines put a d-ck in a dream
ask me why i’m laughin’, cause if i didn’t i’d scream
seems simple and that’s how she taught it to me
but this life ain’t quite what i thought it would be
i see people, so full of fear and disease
and they all take themselves so seriously
(so seriously, so seriously)

ma, it all seems silly to me

[chorus]

[bridge]
my baby bends before she breaks
my baby lends before she takes
makes love not money
likes her eggs runny
and that’s alright with me
my downstairs neighbor’s got a gl-ss ceiling
my lover has scars that are past healing
and i’m a sad sack dealin’ with half-masked feelings
and that’s alright with me
(that’s alright with me, that’s alright with me)
(that’s alright, that’s alright, that’s alright)

[chorus]
