Pessimisty

Lyrics

I want more danger on the lawn I want more red on the green I want an ass in green and black I want more green on red

I want to get shitted on the head I want a Ulrike Meinhof in my bed

I want more danger on the lawn I want more red on the green I want an ass in green and black I want more green on red

I want to get shitted I want to get shitted I want to get shitted on the head

I want a Ulrike Meinhof I want a Ulrike Meinhof I want a Ulrike Meinhof in my bed

I could use a new system In my Gadda da Vida Ulrike da Vida Ulrike da Vida

I could use a new system In my Gadda da Vida Ulrike da Vida Ulrike da Vida Ulrike da Vida Ulrike da Vida
