Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Old lions die got left behind
Cut your teeth lose your meat
And man it's just a matter time
Keys to the coast you might be king
That's it, that's all, that's everything
[Verse 2]
Skeletons come here to dance
Where bar rooms beat their brothers into a bloody trance
What's the deal ?
What did i do ?
Who cops all the cops is all i asked of you
[Verse 3]
Linin' up waitin' on the trickle down
Somethin's up takin' time to get around
Belly up all the drinks are on the crown
It's just a matter of the trickle down
[Verse 4]
Twenty miles before the crash
That's the style for a while
And man I think it's gonna last
Hit the breaks is all you can say
Conductor says we'll save them for another rainy day
[Verse 5]
Linin' up waiting on the trickle down
Somethin's up takin' time to get around
Belly up all the drinks are on the crown
It's just a matter of the trickle down
[Verse 6]
Old lions die got left behind
Cut your teeth lose your meat
And man it's just a matter time
Keys to the coast you might be king
That's it, that's all, that's everything
[Verse 7]
Linin' up waitin' on the trickle down
Somethin's up takin' time to get around
Belly up all the drinks are on the crown
It's just a matter of the trickle down
[Verse 8]
Linin' up waitin' on the trickle down
Somethin's up takin' time to get around
Belly up all the drinks are on the crown
It's just a matter of the trickle down
It's just a matter of the trickle down
Oh it's just a matter of the trickle down
