He's up against a wall, fucked up until dawn, all his buddies are out front, trying to get what he's on, He comes home at noon, smells like smoke and jag, and its about the time the snake comes out of his cage, so dont ask us why, dont ask us why... Pretty boys dont always look so good but we do what we got to. We only do one thing, but man we do it so well, we're sleepin on the floors and just ignoring our health, so shut up, baby step aside, close your eyes , step aside , take a step to the right, we grow our hair so long that we can hardly see, we're living life where the people run free... so dont ask us why, dont ask us why... Pretty boys dont always look so good but we do what we got to.
