"The Scumbag Grift" lyrics

"The Scumbag Grift"

Doing time on the scumbag grift
The envious spirit, a hedonist
Living in the scumbag grift
If you really want it, first step
Separate the money from the mark
The artist from the art
A hedonist
You put 'em six-feet deep in earth, it's the scumbag grift
From limerence to wishing you're dead
Living in the scumbag grift
Betting over your head, you're never gonna win, stupid
A game that's rigged

I only want the world
So give it to me

Story time for you and I, but in the end, the hero dies a sad guy
Gutted 'bout the time that got away
Anxiety was ripping at the light inside of me
It got me Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, fucking twice on Saturday
All day
And there ain't nothing that can fuck with me now
No matter what you think
Look out for number one
Young love done fucks ya up

Doing time on the scumbag grift
No chance, sick with it
No chance, no choice
Living in the scumbag grift
Under the light of the western moon
When someone crosses you
Do you know what to do?
You put 'em six-feet deep in earth, it's the scumbag grift
Your mama was a bitch and your daddy ain't shit
Fuck him, fuck you too right where ya live
It's 236 from the City of Sin
You play to win
Or get taken by the scumbag grift

I only want the world
Served on a silver plate
The broken model on display
I want it, give it to me

Story time for you and I, but in the end, the hero dies a sad guy
Gutted 'bout the time that got away
Anxiety was ripping at the light inside of me
It got me Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, fucking twice on Saturday
All day
And there ain't nothing that can fuck with me now
No matter what you think
Young love done fucks ya up
Young love done fucks ya up

Living in the scumbag grift

They say failure makes you an orphan
Start life with victim's eyes
Assume the worst or get fucked
Baby, I was born to rip and run
To look out for number one
Young love done fucks ya up
No chance, sick with it
No chance, no choice
The envious spirit, a hedonist
