lyrics

Saturday's landed, I know I'm gonna spoil it
Falling asleep on the motherfucking toilet
9AM wake up and go to bed
With a fire in my pants and a hammer in my head
How much did I drink? Well it must've been plenty
My pockets, my wallet and my memory is empty
With these black holes getting all too frequent
Just random events in no kind of sequence
Somewhere in my judgement's a flaw
Hit the floor, hit the bar, put the girl in the car
I'm putting my brain and my body through hell
But my feet still find home all by themselves
Open the door and open the wine
Things'll be fine with the needle on vinyl
Wherever I go other people follow
I got 25 jobs that can wait 'til tomorrow
I've got style and panache and a helping of luck
Now the sun's coming up, what the fuck!

Why be ordinary when you can be awesome
Why be generic when you can be superfly
Don't let nobody tell you what to do
Why would you be like them when you can be like you

Take a time out, smell the flowers
I've been smoking for hours, now I stink
I think I need a shower
Should I step outside, the bubble's inviting
Days spent writing but fishies are biting
Throw out a line and see what I pull back
I'd rather have a Whopper than a Big Mac
But that's a one-way street to obesity
So it's carrots and prawns and okonomiyaki
Yeah I love that shit when I've got the munchies
Cheddar ain't yours, it's nacho cheese!
I watch movies all the time if I can
If I get let down it's "game over, man!"
I won this wattle with servo-mechanics
Feynman taught me electrodynamics
I use the acoustics to own hiphop
Now I'm coming to getcha with a "BMO chop!"

Why be ordinary when you can be awesome
Why be generic when you can be superfly
Don't let nobody tell you what to do
Why would you be like them when you can be like you
