Verse 1
I walk on (A minor)
decrepit bricks and kick sticks an (D minor) d rusty soda cans
Simply for lack of better stimulation
motiv (G major) ation comes and goes
like (F major) gas station patrons
so sed (E minor) ation compensates for
unexpected vacations
(A minor) (Thank you )
that's my pre-gratitude
Post-please (D minor) leave leave leave me
alone that's just my rude attitude
No dysfunction (G major) flipside, I'm
just your (F major) ordinary citizen
(C major) They're (E minor) waiting patiently for me to sin again,
but then again (A minor) (shit...)
I'm really mommy's little angel,
but that (D minor) angel on my
shoulder got strangled
For trying to tangle (G major) with his nemesis
he caught (F major) him on the wrong day
And got cut (E minor) like DJs spinning doubles
-(let the fucking song (A minor) play)
I'm on my way to the store,
ignoring the city (D minor) to purchase
a pack of marb reds
with a stack of rolled pennies
(G major) I could go for Denny's,
(D minor) and my (F major) stomach holds plenty,
but (E minor) my pockets got holes,
I guess the goal is to stay empty...
Quite (A minor) simply put,
me and my pockets (D minor) share interest
I never fall in love with that pretty
green-eyed temptress,
temptress,
twice (G major) (yeah right)
I learned my lesson the (F major) first time
I just (E minor) couldn't keep up with that ever-changing
Jordan Jordan (A minor) line of foot apparel
Parallel to many clones,
my eye's (D minor) vision monochromes
With seven shades and twenty tones
Plus I (G major) breath artistic,
they eat (F major) ing everything I'm feeding them
Put my (E minor) self in every painting
and use my spit as mat medium
And res (A minor) ults of my children
We share the same genes,
cast (D minor) the same reflection
and interpret the same dreams.
like (G major) whoa (F major) (E minor) (x3)
whao (x7)

Verse 2
Chorus: And at night, (A minor)
I roam these streets with
absolutely no purpose (D minor)
Feeling like I'm worthless
But contrary (G major) to my last statement,
(F major) I feel fine
Con (E minor) tent with the fact that I
know this city's mine
And at night, (A minor) I roam these streets with
absolutely no purpose (D minor)
Feeling like I'm worthless
But (G major) contrary to my last statement,
(F major) I feel fine
Con (E minor) tent with the fact that
I know this city's mine
Verse 3
I walk down (A minor) dead end streets
like I didn't see the sign
Just to (D minor) turn around and walk back
That's fine and dandy,
but (G major) what's whack is the fact (F major) I'm still walking (E minor)
...like... "thank god for walkmans"
I'm only (A minor) yawning because
these simply minded
mortals make me sleepy
So (D minor) what do I do? I resort to TV
In the seemingly (G major) lousy
attempt to numb myself
(F major) with lackluster images
An (E minor) d insignificant information like
"Willis was really Ty Bridges"
just (A minor) to have the upper hand
in monotonous (D minor) conversation,
and for lack of better stimulation
I'm painting (G major) portraits of
dysfunction (F major) al families
with gloomy faces (E minor) rock in;
"Don't Worry, Be Happy" t-shirts,
and and you're assuming I'm tasteless? (A minor)
You misconstrue it but your
babies (D minor) will embrace it
The basic essentials of
a very bitter young man
that kicks (G major) rusty soda cans
and walks (F major) on decrepit bricks
with a (E minor) permanent pair of headphones
trying to make these lectures stick
I'll let the (A minor) protestors picket,
like they are going to make
a difference
And watch (D minor) them die before they realize that
their cause (G major) (F major) was nonexistent
(E minor)
Verse 4
Chorus:
And at night, (A minor) I roam these streets with absolutely
no purpose (absolutely no (D minor) purpose)
Feeling like I'm worthless (feeling like
I'm worthless)
But contrary (G major) to my last statement,
(F major) I feel fine
Con (E minor) tent with the fact that I
know this city's mine
And at night, (A minor) I roam these streets with absolutely
no purpose (absolutely no (D minor) purpose)
Feeling like I'm worthless
(feeling like I'm worthless)
But (G major) contrary to my last statement,
(F major) I feel fine
Con (E minor) tent with the fact that I
know this city's mine
Verse 5
I walk on shitty (A minor) city sidewalks stepping
on every single crack
Remin (D minor) iscent of that joke we used to
say when we were snotty nose
my (G major) purpose got defeated when
my mom (F major) turned paraplegic,
plus (E minor) I failed my (E major) civil service exam,
they (E minor) said I cheated.
…not to (A minor) mention tainted urine samples and the
attention span of a (D minor) second-grader
more more fascinated with building blocks than
wasting time stress (G major) ing his daily lesson
(F major) hence the ridilin I've been (E major) gone with the wind like
lucky lottery (E minor) tickets since day (A minor) one (one)
I stepped on the left cause
rights wrong (wrong)
So (D minor) what do I do? Resort to friendly games
of ping pong an (G major) d sing a song of sixpence
(F major) I'm none the richer,
I just (E minor) kiss her on the lips and keep truck (E major) ing
Verse 6
Chorus: And at night, (A minor)
I roam these streets with absolutely
no purpose (D minor) (absolutely no purpose)
Feeling like I'm worthless
(feeling like I'm worthless)
But contrary (G major) to my last statement,
(F major) I feel fine
Con (E minor) tent with the fact (E major) that (E minor) I
know this city's mine
And at night, (A minor) I roam these streets with absolutely
no purpose (absolutely no (D minor) purpose)
Feeling like I'm worthless (feeling like
I'm worthless)
But contrary (G major) to my last statement,
(F major) I feel fine
(E minor) Content with the fact that
I know this city's mine
