Aesop Rock - Mayor And The Crook lyrics

no more pencils no more books I built the city out one brick It had a mayor and a crook I made the crook stab the mayor then slay himself in the guild I stole the brick back and migrated east, now let's build Every tenderfoot cadet better they be slit-throat percentages chicken penmanship tied the thirteenth knot (Hangman) I arrange panoramic of a plastic catalogue and where wild dogs sing tailor-made lullabies tried by my offspring I'll bring the bu*terflies and he can bring the centipedes and she'll bring the cadavers set em' free and let em' feed the devil tree penciled me in but I slept thick through my alarm sock Slick Willy hid in the barn while farmer charmed the crops and I'm a warden my tongue is full of gla** because I promised my friend I'd chew up the bottle if he truly drank the poison.
