ICP (INSANE CLOWN POSSE) LYRICS - Southwest Song

"Southwest Song"



"Good people sometimes think bad things

Good people dream bad things, don't you

Good people even do bad things

Once in a while, we do"



[Violent J]

Factory smoke and choke in pain

Cuz Del Ray funk is in my brain

So I break the law but I'm not to blame

You only know my place, you don't know my name



[Shaggy 2 Dope]

Well, I grip the fence and bent the steal

And I steal a car and I grip the wheel

And I park the car then I steal it again

Cuz I really don't know what's happening



[Violent J]

I wait for night to fall then I walk outside

And then I run back in cuz I don't wanna die

You see, the air alone, it can corrupt your brain

As smoke fills the sky enough to block the rain



[Shaggy 2 Dope]

And I pray to God to help me justify

Look over me cuz my brain is fried

And I don't have a name, I don't have a home

I just lay alone on my bed of stone



[Violent J]

You see, death awaits me on my narrow path

And when I stop to think I can only laugh

Because I'm not alone, it didn't take me long

To see everybody singing that southwest song



[Chorus (2x)]

Wooooooo Oh We-oh

Everybody singing that southwest song



[Violent J]

Some say I'm real and some say I'm fake

But I really don't care cuz it's all too late

You see, my mind is weak and I'm losing breath

As I crawl along I can feel the death



[Shaggy 2 Dope]

Everywhere I go I bring with me pride

And then I pay the carny and I take a ride

But see, the wheel is wicked and it spins me death

So I try it again with what pride is left



[Violent J]

If we have to go then you can take me fast

You see, I started under and I'm sinking fast

And when the joker's card is missing from your deck

Then you know the road has finally caught my neck



[Shaggy 2 Dope]

Eh, yo, don't look, now, there we go again

It's me and the grim reaper, best of friends

He's always hanging round waitin for me to die

We shot a game of pool, he's not a bad guy



[Violent J]

I feel him in the corner of a circled room

At about thirteen in the afternoon

And then I see the strain as I walk along

I notice everybody singing that southwest song



[Chorus (2x)]



What does seem bad to you?

I'm angry...

What does seem bad to you?

I'm angry...

Everybody singing that southwest song



[Violent J]

If my time has come, then I'm ready to go

Shoot me in the face with your forty-four

And when I'm falling down to my soury death

I'll laugh with my very last breath (hahaha)



[Shaggy 2 Dope]

Lose some, win some, that's how it goes

I've been down and out, I took many blows

And there ain't nothing here I ain't seen before

I'm just a jugglin juggla jugglin more



[Violent J]

You wanna see the world, you wanna run the town

You wanna meet a girl and wanna settle down

You wanna start a family and ya own a home

I wanna run with a set from the ghetto zone



[Shaggy 2 Dope]

You see the forks up, I see the forks down

But I'm a wicked clown, so don't fuck around

Cuz my brain is gone and it's on it's way

I'm exploding, so get off me, dog!!!



[Violent J]

And I could be right and I could be wrong

And if I ain't dead now then it won't be long

But it does not matter what set you on

Tonight everybody sings that southwest song



[Chorus (6x)]



"What seems bad to you?

Is hitting other kids?"
