Prodigal Tots lyrics

Artist  : Off Topic 
Song : Prodigal Tots



 Send "Prodigal Tots" Ringtone to your Cell 

 												
														   For me music's a narcotic

Beyond the healing power of antibiotics and
hypnotics

Watch me push my products

To the prodigal tots

Grow them up to
methodical robots

Proud parents applaud the
work ethic

Oblivious to symptoms and blind
spots within them

I wasn't born this way

I grew to the man that stands before you
today

With the help of countless blind eyes
that were happy to oblige

Take your time
with the interpretation

Lest you lose the
story's message in the translation

Pay
attention while I offer up the narration

See I had a band, we wrote some songs, we got
along famously

But missing puzzle pieces
made the puzzle wrong and incomplete

As
time went on the body count was a roll-call for
the victims of routine

So I jumped ship and
inflated my passions and went to sea

I
always wrote but I couldn't sing

Though
every note danced in my brain

Every moment,
the words, they came

Every moment became a
day

Every day became a stepping stone

A guessing game I played alone

I
stumbled and I slipped and I tripped and I
fell

But oh well



All my heroes
carry guns

Take this, and take this, and
take this and run

Don't stop, update
everyone



A basement full of
idiots

Hooked on the box, smoking pot

They had a gift, they had a vision, they
forgot

But I remember like it's present
tense

That I've been trapped in ever
since

Experienced a metamorphosis of how I
rock

Another disillusioned son

Another CD pressed and spun

Another kid
that wants to rap to solve his problems claiming
therapy

Claiming he's the one

Claiming all sorts of unfounded stuff he's
not

Claiming a lot

Claiming he's a
prodigal tot

So I shed my skin of an
instrument

That I was clinging t
