"Running With Scissors" lyrics - ATMOSPHERE

ATMOSPHERE
"Running With Scissors"

Protect your jimmy, keep it fresh
Anything is everything and more is less
It's all sight, sounds, smell, taste and felts
Knuckle up and buckle up your safety belt

Lift with your legs, speak with your mind
See the bigger screen, read between the lines
Brush your teeth, squash the beef
Judge the tree by both sides of the leaf

Save your soul, spend your money
Laugh at it's jokes and pretend they're funny
Talk about your goals and hide your wants
Give 'em something they can hold and get a better response

Believe in karma, truth and honor
Respect the youth and understand the drama
Think about your move before you make it
And see the motive for the info and advice before you take it

Traffic lights and stops signs
Cops and crimes, top of the line
I lost my mind, I found my feet
Look over my shoulder before I cross the street

Dead zone, when in roam
I'm begging for attention to be left alone
Headphones and flesh tones
And little Slugo's having trouble trying to get home

Write a song, write a million songs
But they're all the same song it's like one long song
Fight the wrong and make 'em sing along
And continue to consume until the hunger's gone

Speak your peace and move on, move on
I need to buy time but first I got to find the coupon
When I climb the mountain I'm gonna teach I promise
But for now you can reach me at the office

Get a job, catch a buzz, learn something, cook dinner
Find a mate and copulate, but try to pick a winner
Go to school, teach something, be a voice, paint a picture
Turn the TV off man you don't need a babysitter

Read a book, write a book, plot a move take over
Watch for motorcycles, calm down, be a doner
Nine out of ten doctors prefer their secretaries
Because they're sick of going home and going down on what they married

Do your homework, solve the problem, celebrate
Tip the bartender, breathe and meditate
Oversleep wake up late, push snooze take a bath
When you finish with your drink they let you keep the glass

Skip class, jump curbs, walk the dog, run slow
Leap fates, stand tall, sit still, take control
Yo, you throw like a girl and you hate the world
And you lost all your nuts trying to chase a squirrel

But some of these cats don't know to meow
I try to open my eyes to take a look at me now
Alphabetize the records that sit on the shelf
I think you need some advice on how to think for self

Aiyo, they want the light, but they don't want the light
They act like they don't know wrong from right
They say they want the truth, but they have the truth
They act like they forgot how to move

Dead
I ain't trying to wait for no one else to help
I think you need some advice on how to think for self
I said ain't trying to wait for no one else to help
I think you need some advice on how to think for self
I said ain't trying to wait for no one else to help
I think you need some advice on how to think for self
I ain't trying to wait for no one else to help
I think you need some advice on how to think for self
