“Cody’s Theme” is the first track on AJJ’s 6th studio album The Bible 2. The song title references Cody from “Angel Of Death” from Christmas Island:
I am the Kool-Aid stains on the mouth of a kid
Whose name is most likely Cody
He had a juice-box for breakfast and he carries a stick
That he most lik...
[Verse 1]
When I was a kid, my whole reality split
I was living a lie
I was a killing machine, I was a warlord
When I closed my eyes
[Chorus]
I had to talk to the teacher; she talked to my mom
We had a real long talk
I had to talk to the teacher; she talked to my mom
They made the visions stop
[Verse 2]
When I was a kid, I was a total dick to inanimate objects
The world beat the hell from me; I took it out on a tree
Great Illustrated Classics
[Chorus]
I took it out on a fig tree, out on the lawn
I took it out on the backyard (Backyard)
And behind Rite Aid, I took it out on the crates
And on the shopping carts
[Verse 3]
Meanwhile, on another plane

I set the mommy on fire, I set the baby on fire
Not even Jesus could stop me
[Chorus]
I had to talk to the teacher; she talked to my mom
We had a real long talk
I had to talk to the teacher; she talked to my mom
They made the visions stop
I had to talk to the teacher; she talked to my mom
We had a real long talk
I had to talk to the teacher; she talked to my mom
They made the visions stop
[Outro]
Stop
Stop
Stop
