Save Our Ship - Malibu Ken, Aesop Rock

Ears flat back, middle finger like a meerkat

Moonstruck, two bear traps where his shoes was

All goose bumps, juke around a critical hit

Loose trucks into civil unrest

The whole city out to quibble over kibbles and bits

Keeping the pillory full, keeping the piss in the wind

I’m in the basement mixing up the medicine with the Wizard of Id

If it deliver us from the grip of the grid

Spelling «Save Our Ship» with a stick in the sand

Pull a sock puppet off a 6-fingered hand

Everybody Wang-Chung with the spiritually bankrupt

Drank blood from the same cup he dump change from

Doc Strangelove, lazy in the Lincoln Logs

Looking for some inkling of Wynken, Blynken, Nod

Instead it’s Blinky, Inky, Pinky and Clyde

I know the goal is split the chrysalis wide

I’m only in it to hide, come on

This news, clips of the shifty, crippled and misused

Pigs in the pews

Stick, move, face-down folk recycled as fish food

All this news

This news, metal in the water and men with split hooves

Homesick blues

Win, lose, money over shark fin soup and stiff booze

All this news

One strawberry jelly, one glazed

One saucer of milk for the strays

None of his bills paid, all of his ilk romp

Half of them uninsured, all of them film cops

Call of the wild kid, trade a cow for seeds

I’m in the clouds smelling blood from the cowards beneath

I trade a crown for teeth blaming an unrequited love

Might release hounds dressed up like doves

Out here pigs play metal like kettle drums

Turn a quick deli trip to a temple run

And belly laugh, rebel tongues cover up a checkered past

All they really want is fertilizer for the lemongrass anyway

Homie don’t give 'em a reason

Or we over coffee reading of your intimate evening

With another ripened psychopath shopping for attention

You are not even a peasant, you’re a notch in a weapon, ah

This news, clips of the shifty, crippled and misused

Pigs in the pews

Stick, move, face-down folk recycled as fish food

All this news

This news, metal in the water and men with split hooves

Homesick blues

Win, lose, money over shark fin soup and stiff booze

All this news

All this news

All this news

Yeah

Quills of the filterless

Document the wilderness from silverfish to Gilgamesh

Trinity or triple six

I’m busy trying to split the timber up before the winter

Get the money, skip his dinner, headless chickens hither thither

Playing hooky, looking though the politician to the lizard

Are you seriously feeling like a citizen or pris’ner

Ain’t no peaceful protest

The promenade mostly police with goat heads

And no love, look, loose dogs through Scooby-Doo fog

Looking for any semblance of yule log, let alone good jobs

Good folk settle for the pits, rant like a levitating witch

Got crows on the lawn, got steak for the hounds

Got grays and tongues that don’t stay in our mouths

At first light might nurse an aversion to Earth science

Like this game comes with the worst prizes

This news, clips of the shifty, crippled and misused

Pigs in the pews

Stick, move, face-down folk recycled as fish food

All this news

This news, metal in the water and men with split hooves

Homesick blues

Win, lose, money over shark fin soup and stiff booze
