A GOLD STAR IN THE GHETTO

We all have a spirit. Some good, some bad
Evil is my spirit, on my shoulder a concrete slab

When comes midnight I howl at the moon
Put on my cowboy boots with spurs made out of alcohol jugs
I don’t mind waking up the neighbors

I can not kiss a girl past 18
I like them young, naïve, believing fame will come to me
I’m only living off student loans 'til I am discovered

Yeah – I’m walking sidewalks paved of gold
Sidewalks paved of gold
Until my gravestone is a gold star in the ghetto

"Whilst they behold a greater then themselves
And therefore are they very dangerous
I’d rather tell thee what is to be feared
Than what I fear
For I always am" *

We all have a spirit. Some good, some bad
Evil is my spirit, on my shoulder a concrete slab
Like a child pulls up on a scab

 

* taken from William Shakespear's Julius Ceaser, when Ceaser tells Brutus that he does not fear those that conspire against him
