wisdom teeth

my wisdom teeth are causing me trouble

forming a huddle in the back of my mouth

and now to talk is a struggle

so i trade the punchlines for more of a subtle approach

and just hope you decode more than all of the puzzle

'cause of course i've gone pop

i wasn't born in a bubble

fuck my kingdom for a horse

i'd give my horse for a cuddle

and i'm bored of all the posturing a lot of hip hoppers bring

sincerity's like love: it doesn't cost a thing

so always check the pocket of your jeans

before you set the rinse on the washing machine

buy a stack of birthday cards and presents

so you can use them in the event that you forget them

then throw away fifty things you haven't used lately

ideally you'd only keep what you use daily

make the phone call that you've been putting off for months

it's a load off your mind and you'll be done in time for lunch

pull out my wisdom teeth

to give to each of you

who never will admit defeat

and i think i'll be a-ok

if i live to see the day

my wisdom teeth decay

pull out my wisdom teeth

to give to each of you

who never will admit defeat

and i think i'll be a-ok

yeah

i'll be a-ok

i see and hear quotes everywhere

proverbs and advice from experts

sages and inspirational figures

but it's not particularly useful in comparison to the wisdom i've acquired

simply through living my day to day

mundane life

and with these abilities

i'm on a steve miller steez

we hear so much deep advice

philosophical insight on the way we should lead our lives

but you don't really need to be jesus christ

just read between the lines and then you'll be just fine

you don't need a preacher to teach or guide

you through the maze

each day leads you deep inside

so keep an eye out

see the lighthouse

watch for the rocks and just reach for high ground

patiently wait for the breeze to die down

now i believe that we need a lie down

so i relax in the dentist's massive chair

puffing on a heady mix of gas and air

the psychedelicism's elegance is evident

as black satin patterns pass and past passions flare

yeah

and now there's plasma everywhere

pull out my wisdom teeth

to give to each of you

who never will admit defeat

and i think i'll be a-ok

if i live to see the day

my wisdom teeth decay

pull out my wisdom teeth

to give to each of you

who never will admit defeat

and i think i'll be a-ok

yeah

i'll be a-ok
