Track 2 of Gizmodgery by sElf.
In this song, Matt Mahaffey talks about one of his friends who succumbed to a “party hard” lifestyle. This “happy child” confuses Matt and makes him worry about if he should continue this lifestyle.
(4, 3, 2, 1)
[Verse 1]
Out of control, losing your soul
To devils in holes with game, oh no
Forgotten friends died for you sins
You can't make amends in role
[Chorus]
Brother you're so, so defective
So wrong
He don't know he's infected
You're just so, so wrong
[Verse 2]
A happy child drinks five alive
Freaks bee-bop-a-loo-la yet he's born to be wild
His claim to fame, he met Big Daddy Kane
On an Amtrak train to Ronkonkoma
[Chorus]
Brother you're so, so defective
So wrong
He don't know he's infected
You're just so, so wrong
[Verse 3]
Flashing cash flow at every show
Got blow in his nose and stains on his t-shirt
The same old scene like hot wire dreams
Replace the part where ends justify the means
[Chorus]
Brother you're so, so defective
So wrong
He don't know he's infected
You're just so, so wrong
Brother you're so, so defective
So wrong
He don't know he's infected
You're just so, so wrong
