Secret Skin by Busdriver
Secret Skin lyrics
This self-made mogul alpha-male
Now seeks a Dali-lama
To become a cocooned darling larva
I�ll donate my album sales
to what the left-wing stance is,
their pet peeves are the candidates
and wet reeds in their tan lips,
exceeds bandwidth
This self-empowered blog stirs in all you apathetic
scensters
From this downward-dogger
Newly flowered songbird
But I used to drive my stretched Humvee
through rap fads like an occupied Baghdad
Looking like a pet monkey
in a one-piece holding a handbag
Now I�m stylized in your art commune
Torturing a TV host,
holding a winnie-roast over car-bombed ruins
Choking on a tapioca ball
In being a sun-drenched life-size Yoda doll
Obsequious banter is protocol (new skin)
Admonished, I withstand the office day singed
Then become counter-culture�s misanthropic statesman
Take wives with a chest full of animal hair,
put their vulvas on pre-heat
Then have an extra-marital affair at the yoga retreat
I�m a wheatgrass fueled, rehashed, eco-friendly hippie
freak
Encased in what�s aesthetically pleasing
Marvel at the LA-based, dead artifice
We are all coated in a plastic film
But there lies a thicker layer of secret skin
There lies a layer of secret skin
Under your soft-edit enhanced cosmetic implants
There lies a thick layer of secret skin
A body for you to re-began
�Please give to this undisclosed relieve fund�
Says the liberal with a tealeaf on his tongue
Cuz soldiers are pointing their BB guns at children�s
TB lungs
So we�ve sanctioned graffiti fun to slander your
figurehead
Hack into amalgamated algorithms that open cells
crowded prisons
But I got to get that �save-the-world-look� first
Under that thin veneer, there is a buried sun
An aptly engineered, new planetarium
Working class
Heroism
Is stylish
All season
Sleeveless shirts
Quinoa
Drum circles
Palm-reading
We are all coated in a plastic film
But there lies a thicker layer of secret skin
There lies a layer of secret skin
Under your soft-edit enhanced cosmetic implants
There lies a thick layer of secret skin
A body for you to re-began
We are all coated in a plastic film
But there lies a thicker layer of secret skin
There lies a layer of secret skin
Under your soft-edit enhanced cosmetic implants
There lies a thick layer of secret skin
A body for you to re-began
Under that thin veneer, there is a buried sun
An aptly engineered, new planetarium
