Noah Built the Ark

I’ve promoted the hustle
There’s blood in the streets
Lust and envy never tasted sweet
I run and duck for cover
Fame comes tomorrow
Dying just to get a name
I will kill for a nickel or dime
Many broken promises

Is it any wonder
Why the world’s still turning
I’m in need of a big hug
Too many cars on the highway
Hate comes soft and hazy
The candy that I need
Spending my life in hell
Wearing the best clothes
Get the slapping wherever I go

The water is rising
Spent some time on a lifeboat
I’ll see the fire next time
I’m always switching lanes
The water is rising
Spent some time on a lifeboat
I’ll see the fire next time
I’m always switching lanes
