don’t even worry about the things you say
nobody’s listenin to you anyway
they only care if you’re in charge here
hey are you charge here
better say you are
don’t even worry bout the things you think
because we’re headed for the brink and
it’s gonna stink
you better
grab what you want
before I get there first cause
what’s a deep mind with a empty purse
there’s no difference between smart and dumb
there’s no difference between right and wrong
cause everybody’s got their own religion and mine is me
mine is me
hey everybody take a look at me I’m a rock
I’m the best thing you can be
I get whatever i want
I do whatever i want
I say whatever i want
I get whatever i want
I’m a rock
standing strong in the face of adversity
being wrong about whatever I wanna be
oblivion awaits us
so why not get a taste of
whatever i decide i need
oh I’m sorry is this confusing to you
were you raised to think i have some sort of duty to you
well I do
I’m here to show you what self interest can do
and codify what i think is normal
until you give in or puke
so chapter one of volume one of how to be a rock
how to dress and speak and style your hair and gesture and walk
how to make everyone treat you like they think you’re their boss
how to be freakin rock-solid bad ass rock
first remember you’re the narrator of your own truth
and a rock is firm and strong and does what it wants to do
just look at me, I’m a rock, that should prove it to you
so now do all the things I say because I tell you to
you’re gonna wanna look like you’re on television
so people think they have to listen to your stupid positions
and a rock derives its strength from the position it’s sittin
so it helps to be born heavy within a weighted system
you’re gonna wanna have a clan of opportunistic weasels
afraid of asking any questions and losing your approval
also it helps to have more money than everybody else
remember criticism of you is an attack on wealth
you’ll need a song to motivate you
how bout this one?
sure some people are gonna hate you
they must be miserable huh?
oblivion awaits us
so why not get a taste of
whatever you decide you need
You’re a rock
