[Verse 1: Pat]
Termites are eating my home, and squirrels laugh at me through the walls
I hate to admit it, but most days I wake up and follow the laws
I used to dream my beliefs would lead me onto barricades with molotovs
But mostly they lead me straight to a line at the post office to send zines to someone behind bars

This city is killing me
Pretty sure New Haven PD wants all of my friends to go down
I walk down to Whaley and think of my fellow felons sleeping on overcrowded room grounds
My girlfriend can’t handle the life that I lead

Sleep on couches, play shows for twenty kids
Hoping they’ll house me
Sorry, I'm allergic to cats!

[Hook: Pat]
Na, na, na, na
Na na na
Na, na na na
Na, na, na, na
Na na na

[Verse 4: Ceschi]
I can promise you this, Officer Smith:
You don’t need to piss-test me or re-arrest me
I’m just playing these shows, I’m a law-abiding citizen
Please give me my license back. I no longer sell crack
I’m just 33, rapping, broke, trying my hardest to cope on the road
Almost all of my homies know that

Na, na na na
Na, na, na, na
Na na na
Na, na na na
Na, na, na, na
