The times may be tough but I'm renting out some trailers in the yard
Give it to me straight, Sam, be more direct
You just want us on your side
I'm cashing in with my golden calf
If you don't like it you can kiss my ass
It's my new start and it ain't my fault
The army destroyed me with a purple heart
Welcome in the black market guru with a beard dripping off his chin
He won't be living tough but he'll be joining in with our parade
There's something strange, a phenomenon
The rats of the city are looking kinda funny
Who would have thought that they could set up shop
I only ever heard that when the rats move in
That they'll break the meniscus, being the last drop
Yeah, they'll break the meniscus by being the last drop
There's something strange, a phenomenon
The rats of the city, they're looking kind of funny
This tailgater is getting bigger and I can't seem to lose him in my mirrors
Is this what it led to, is this what it fed?
The secret is kept until we're dead
But this trumps the constitution that our fathers envisioned
Yes, this is what it led to and this is what it fed
It's my new start and it ain't my fault
The army destroyed me with a purple heart
