Now I tried to go down to that lonesome place
Where they keep it on the ground, but ohh no
A beast is clinging to my soul

So I picked up the phone and placed a call
To the place where they got all the crazy ones down, but wohoa
We don't send out white cabs to no clowns

What fills you up takes me down
When you're flying, I'm crawling on the ground
But when you cry, I go smiling all around
Ohh-ho, a beast is clinging to my soul

They said you sir! Your only talent is throwing people around
Punching holes in the walls, and keeping everyone else down
Being a white trash country boy really isn't your fault

So I took me a break in a lodge, picked up the trail and gathered my thoughts
N' Before I knew of it, the whole damn thing was sold off
Ohh with all of that money, the politicians and lawyers almost began to glow in the dark
Though a whole native tribe had to be moved out of that national park

What fills me up, will take you down
When I'm flying, you'll be starving on the ground
And when you cry, I go smiling all around
Ohh-ho, a beast is clinging to my soul

Now we're buying up futures on Oil, food and Meds
And when the lot is sold off, I'm gonna be richer than Kings
They say old money is the best, but new is what's gonna put your morals to the test

Then they called back from the institution, said it was time to come in
I said I don't know where to begin, I'm on a roll here!
I just need me some booze and some hookers and some strong medicines
It's way past my saving time, I'll be wearing you boys down and thin

What fills me up will take you down
When I'm flying, you'll be starving on the ground
And when you're dying honey, I go smiling all around
Ohh-ho, a beast is clinging to my soul

I walked a good thousand miles and newer got nowhere
But the next stretch I plan to go down with style
So screw you all, yeah screw you all - bye and bye
Yeah screw you all, and bye and bye!
