lyrics

blow my brains out on some potent strains
call it kurt cobain loud, reach nirvana on a strange route
burning rubber on the way south
to arizona then fuck around with something amazonian
and then I'm home again
the king conquers then he gets back on the throne again
lifts the crown high up in his bony hands
catches his reflection in the gold and sees his only friend
it was lonely then
the royal pen soaked blood red
as we holding onto rosaries supposably blessed
after we wrote a history over evoking revenge
pizarro frozen at the edge of the known world
looking through a telescoped view of boneyard
tombstone - now which one going for the fools gold?

this pile is bright enough to blind
and buy back the eyesight aligned with a new pair of eyes

this pile is bright enough to blind
they said build it high enough to remind of a paradise

and i say off the top but rhymes still drop
to the bottom of your soul - go deeper than black holes
set fires no petroleum, diesel and we rolling em
homies out here fold whole o's in only one
session, whole world is a smoking section
so pass it to your man instead of blastin him with weapons
unless you clear cutting in the congo
i'd probably tear your home down to teach you a lesson
like extinction ain't evidence
intentions stinking and you think your getting recompense
i have a vision maybe prison is my consequence
for nonviolence, and it was in self-defense
new age, but all mistakes is historic
for belief - i wouldn't kill but i'd die for it
tombstone
now which one going for the fool's gold

but what if it falls?
to the ground
and everyone around selling out to the *clink clink * of a golden sound
and everyone arounds bowing down to a fool with a broken crown
