[Mike] I got manicured fingers and toes
[Melvin] I got 4 layers of pee-soaked clothes but I’m still condescending
[Mike] Your ass and teeth permanent browned
[Melvin] Your face is permanently frowned and I have everything I want
[Melvin] Your life’s gotta really suck
[Both] You gotta hustle all day just to make the bucks
To get high enough just to forget about what you’ve become
[Mike] You’re the one who lives nowhere
[Melvin] You think you’re life’s more than a game of suits and ladders
[Both] When nothing really matters
[Melvin] You’re not just fluous, you’re superfluous
[Mike] You don’t actually do anything
[Both] A human redundancy
[Mike] 40 year old Macallans
[Melvin] 40 Old English ounces
[Mike] Henry the IV double shot
[Melvin] I just finished a bottle of Old Crow
[Mike] I just bought a case of Chateau Margaux, not the 95, the 96
[Mike] Your house is of corrections
[Melvin] Your house is full of collections of crap you bought from selling others out
You’re the one who has nothing
[Mike] Your life is a game of unstable bladders, when nothing really matters
You woke up today covered in droppings (stock or bird)
[Both] When the bottom drops, my life won’t change a bit
[Melvin] But yours will turn to shit
[Both]
You are a superfluous man, I am a superfluous man
You’re quite a superfluous man, I am a superfluous man
