lyrics

I been shooting for distance
I would settle for time
I been shooting for distance over time
time to turn the record over

I been thinking 'bout high school
Try hard to forget this mess, yeah
I been thinking 'bout high school. I don't know why...
won't you come and change the channel?

We are the criminal class
you tried to push back to the edge of the map
They tried to chase us with cars
but there wasn't no star who could get us all back

I'm at the end of my rope
just like a joke that nobody wrote
you are a talented man,
but as far as a plan well I haven't much hope
in your follow through

I been looking for lifeforms
I been some carbon dating
I been looking for lifeforms in the past
Time to turn the record over

She been looking for profits
Trying hard to make a commission
She been looking for profit margin, yeah
Won't you come and change the channel?

We are the workshop elves,
the ones who went back to the scene of the crime
They tried to bust us for fraud,
but there weren't no laws against these rhymes

We're both cut from the same piece of cloth
the apple fell far from the base of the tree
I tried to make you a scarf, it's hard, and
the project go the best of me

I have this feeling that this venture will succeed,
and I can't contain the thoughts.
Here, with my coffee, and my notebooks full of words.
So many lists of things to change.

We are the workshop elves,
the ones who went back to the scene of the crime
They tried to bust us for fraud,
but there weren't no laws against these rhymes

I've been assigned to your case
Make no mistake the pleasure is mine
'cause it's just like your mama once said
if you do that again, you're better off dead
now go make your bed
