There's no lock on my door
Dunno what bolts are for
Never pay no rent
All I got was heaven sent
Don't need no clocks (tick tock)
To get off my rocks
O, I've got tons of time
Living on coca and lime
You want me to be like you
The truth is, you have no clue
That this lifes' master plan
Should be enjoyed by man
When I'm on T.V
You all think I'm a bit funny
Basical and out of time
But it's luxury
Protected from humanity
Don't cost a dime - precious time
There's no jungle blues
Once you kick off them tennis-shoes
Making up your mind in time
One day I will revive; so we can all survive
It's just a matter of time
Oh it's luxury - protected from humanity
Don't cost a dime - precious time
There's no jungle blues
Once you kick off them tennis-shoes
Making up your mind in time
The priest says I'm out of line
I'm wasting my tons of time
He say I should pray some more
But I don't know what the hell for
