Analysis of Christmas Eve
well i'm back in the lab
cooking crack cocaine for eve
i told you to slow down
but all you wanted was speed
i told you to stand tall but you
just got right back down on your knees
i laughed right in your face when you said
all you wanted was world peace
well i'm packing a lotta punch
and i'm kicking it off my shoes
i hope you can still stand and dance
cause i know you get easily bruised
i hope you all the best and i hope you rest
in hell for all eternity you god damned fool
i stabbed you in the back like rat tat tat tat tat
cause you look like you needed the push, now just move move move move move
well i'm tracking all of your accomplices
and i'm gonna take a truckload of the truth
i know you think i'm bluffing like a stuntman
but i'm gonna educate you, i'm gonna take you back to school
i know you pink panthers cant understand cancer
but i'm gonna medicate you, i'm gonna make you bleed in your stool
i happen to be standing right in front of you this whole time
are you getting scared now, you big baby, what the f*ck are you gonna do?
