TO GONNA KEEP ME DOWN

OKAY, IT'S CLEAR, I'M THE TOP OF THIS CLASS
AND THESE FOLKS HERE, WELL THEY PUMP THE GAS
OR FETCH ME A COFFEE, SHINE MY SHOES
SOME OF US ARE WINNERS, SOME WERE BORN TO LOSE
YOU GOT THE SANDWICH ARTIST, THE SECURITY GUARD?
THE WALMART GREETER WITH AN OVERDRAWN CREDIT CARD
HE “SMOKE THE SMOKES GANJA”
OOO, IT’S SO GROOVY
TO STAY AT HOME AND WATCH AN ADAM SANDLER MOVIE

SHE SERVES ME COKE AND A MEDIUM FRIES
AND NO THANKS!
I DON'T WANT IT SUPERSIZED

DIABETES IN A CUP!
KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN AND THINGS WILL LOOK UP

FOUR LITTLE BRATS, NO STEADY MAN
DO WE REALLY NEED ANOTHER ORGAN DONOR?

Maybe that was a little harsh. Love you!

AHH, DRAGONBALL, POKEMON
HE'S A REAL SWEET KID, BUT HIS BRAINS ARE GONE
AND WHAT'S HE GONNA DO, SOLVE A RUBIK'S CUBE?

How long’s he got if we feed him through a tube?
