Short Straw Songtext
von Popes of Chillitown

Stop trying to act like you′re blameless
Panties round ankles
Be thankful for the brain police
You signed up to the mailing list
Controlled by them lizards and aliens

You seem to care what they say, right?
For a good cause at the right price
It's only 40 more years but it feels like a life time
I didn′t plan this
The gods laugh in my face when I face life
Seemingly for the first time at each new light

Short straw
Long ting
Long ting


5 4 3 2 1
Jump in with the sharks
One too few wetsuits
Don't be alarmed
Black doesn't suit you
We′ll do to you what the sharks exclude to do

Is this a viable risk?
Who decides who dies and who lives?
A great white light strikes twice inside
Trying to survive
But I thrive on a diet of lies
Where do you go?
It′s kinda unavoidable but somehow you're still out of control
If I wanted to be dead I wouldn′t be alive
Can't I just let myself decide?

Short straw
Long ting
Long ting

What fucking planet are you on?
Which one do you think I come from?
What planet are you on?
Where do I come from?


Long ting
Short straw
Long long long long ting
Short straw
Long ting
Long long long looooooong

Reach for the sky gimme 5 gimme 10
Hands down if you know that you′re innocent
Reach for the sky gimme 5 gimme 10
Put your hands down if you know that you're innocent

Long ting
Long ting
Long ting
Short straw Long ting
Short straw Long ting
Short straw
Long long long long long long long long
