[Verse 1]
Congeniality is a basis for content
Peddling narcissism wrapped in self-love and progress
You want it, I got it
This soul is a bargain
America's the land of pretty people and monsters
Disneyland spinoff of privilege and products
Compete with our drama
Clawed out from the bucket (uh)
Pretenders as artists
Selling scoundrels and follies

A Linx, a platinum leash
Affixed to my wallet (moan)
My hand, my stone laced hand
Affixed to my pockets

[Chorus 1]
Can't teach new tricks to an old dog
Riding around the strip in an old car
Teach new tricks to an old dog
Never wear thе leash or the old guard

[Verse 2]
What's the nеw kick?
What's the new gig?
What’s the new schtick?
Who’s the new flesh to sink our teeth in?
Oh, then we drink their youthful spring
And run them dry
Count checks, keep it moving
My life condensed to targets
Audiences and their pockets
When Redwood's fall, seem all and all
We’re all left with noise and sawdust
Individuality, unique as a Walmart
Exercising thought process, complete as a donut
Look at that over there, audacity totems
They claim who make the grade
No, you meet the quota
[Chorus 2]
Been around the block, bet you missed her
Never sit and stay for a picture
Never wagged a tail, would have bit ya
Look at how they lap and they lick ya

[Verse 3]
How can I waste my time?
Love, you can have it
Take my place in line
I'm sitting pretty
Dipped in raw sunshine
Been known to shake a cage or two at times
How can I waste my time?
The ceiling's vaulted
And your glass reprimed

Pulled linen curtains from across my eyes
Life is too long to be so pacified

[Chorus]
Can't teach new tricks to an old dog
Riding around the strip in an old car
Teach new tricks to an old dog
Never wear the leash or the old guard
Been around the block, bet you missed her
Never sit and stay for a picture
Never wagged a tail, would have bit ya
Look at how they lap and they lick ya
[Instrumental Break]

[Chant]
You're my litsea
Litsea cubeba
You're my litsea
Litsea cubeba
You're my litsea
Litsea cubeba
You're my litsea
Litsea cubeba
