You're just like, You're just like Oscar
You're like Oscar you fucking runt
Always grouchy so goddamn blunt
You're like Oscar hidden in your can
Are you afraid of the real world
You're like Oscar you fucking runt
You're like Oscar all green and flurry
Collecting garbage to make you feel happy
I won't help you if you're helpless
I won't help you if you're helpless, man
Don't wanna help no helpless man
You gotta survive so do what you can
We pay me money just to feed you
but you won't get it when the bear's still there
I'll blow it all on stupid stuff
so I can beat them at our race
