Id Slips In

You walk that tightrope inch by inch
I could turn into a noose in a pinch
And I'm never gonna kill myself again
Against a wall, yeah I rest my head
I never lie when I'm in my bed
And I'm never gonna tell that joke again
You wanna let Id slip in?
The man who eats shit learns to take a piss
You wanna let the Id slip in?
Man, you gotta lose your mind while you save your face
You keep trying just to please your ass
All the while you're a slave to your class
You end up following the same old rules
You look around, trying to clean your slate
Showed up at your life so fashionably late
Now all the makeup in the world won't save your face
I heard my parents, yeah I heard some priests
I heard Bangles' ALL OVER THE PLACE
All of my advice came with monotony
So mind your manners like they mine for coal -
Clean your face but keep a dirty soul
And let the Id slip in again and again....
