Below Me

Written by Bootsauce, from Bootsauce, 1995



Well, I guess I am
I guess I continue, man
I ache inside my head
Don't make no sense to try to be there while you are alive
Ain't putting my life aside
So open up those sights
That makes no sense, no circumstance to make your only plans
Hopeless like I am
Justice in my hand
Ain't knowledge for what-- why don't-- we don't have

Bang bang, you're not a happy man
Always asking questions that you'll never understand, say
No plans, headed for the trash can
Valium and cheesecake, that'll be your big break

Long way down, hey lookit below me
Ain't no place that I would rather you to be (x 2)
(Below me!)

O happy man,
Too precious to understand
I'll get inside your head
And trust me, I won't repeat things that you would like to say
Frustrations in your way
It's growing faster than--
It's like a pistol pointed at the corner of your head
Oh, that's what people say
You're sinking faster than--
Oh why don't-- we don't--why don't we don't have

Bang bang, you're not a happy man
Always asking questions that you'll never understand, say
No plans, headed for the trash can
Valium and cheesecake, that'll be your big break

Long way down, hey lookit below me
Ain't no place that I would rather you to be (x 2)
(Below me!)

So take the stand
I guess continue, man
Solution to my plague
Can't trust in things that you would like to change, so anyway
Confusion clouds the way
So open up those sights
That makes no sense, no circumstance to make your only...

Bang bang, you're not a happy man
Always asking questions that you'll never understand, say
No plans, headed for the trash can
Valium and cheesecake, that'll be your big break

Long way down, hey lookit below me
Ain't no place that I would rather you to be (x 2)
(Below me!)
