I'm going to try to include as many of your videos as possible, so it'll help if you make yours stand out :) I've gotten TONS of requests from fans of the show asking for a look behind the scenes of a typical episode of Game Theory. So here it is, the curtain is pulled back and we show you the THRILLING process behind making an upload of the series. From the meticulous process of choosing a video topic to the grueling edit process, we show you the ins and outs of what it takes to produce a typical theory! And be sure to stay until the end so you can be included in an upcoming episode! With the help of my partners at Skype via their Qik app, I'm gathering videos submitted by Loyal Theorists to choose one of 2015's first episodes and then using the videos you submit throughout the episode! So this is your chance to theorize along with me! I can't wait to see what you guys produce! In full disclosure, this video was sponsored by Skype. But, as always, rest assured that we're promoting a service that we already use anyway. Skype is THE go-to communication service for most YouTubers, especially gamers, so partnering with them to do a cool video like this and host a fan-submission service that enables us to feature you guys in an upcoming episode is SUPER exciting. Anyway, rest assured that when I do videos on this channel, sponsored or no, at the end of the day they are on topics that interest ME as a creator and not some corporate entity. I won't do a video unless I A) control what I get to say, B) am personally interested in the subject, and C) think you will enjoy the final product!

The Guardian 2015-03-13Game theory is the study of strategic decision making. More formally, it is "the study of mathematical models of conflict and cooperation between intelligent rational decision-makers." An alternative term suggested "as a more descriptive name for the discipline" is interactive decision theory. Game theory is mainly used in economics, political science, and psychology, as well as logic and biology. The subject first addressed zero-sum games, such that one person's gains exactly equal net losses of the other participant(s). Today, however, game theory applies to a wide range of class relations, and has developed into an umbrella term for the logical side of science, to include both human and non-humans, like computers. Classic uses include a sense of balance in numerous games, where each person has found or developed a tactic that cannot successfully better his results, given the other approach.
Modern game theory began with the idea regarding the existence of mixed-strategy equilibria in two-person zero-sum games and its proof by John von Neumann. Von Neumann's original proof used Brouwer's fixed-point theorem on continuous mappings into compact convex sets, which became a standard method in game theory and mathematical economics. His paper was followed by his 1944 book Theory of Games and Economic Behavior, with Oskar Morgenstern, which considered cooperative games of several players. The second edition of this book provided an axiomatic theory of expected utility, which allowed mathematical statisticians and economists to treat decision-making under uncertainty.
[Chorus A 4X]
This is a game
I'm your specimen
You've got to let me know baby
So I can go, I'd have to fake it
I could not make it
You could not take it
[Black Thought]
Yeah, where I'ma start it at, look I'ma part of that
Downtown Philly where it's realer than a heart attack
It wasn't really that ill until the start of crack
Now it's a body caught every night on the Almanac
Rock bottom where them cops gotta problem at
Where them outsiders getting popped for they wallet at
I had nothin but I made somethin outta that
Now I'm the first out the limo like Charlie Mack
From 215 it's him the livest one
And he's representin Philly to the fullest
Blacks the realest
You can't touch him and not for nothin
If you bout hip hop then you gots to love it
If not then fuck it
I'm still handlin
Smokin more reefer than Redman and them damaging MC's
And my name's Rick Gees you endangered species
For what I do I'm about to up the fees
I'm paperchase motivated I ain't the one to play with
These cats get set ablaze
You can't have it y'all way but I'd rather parlay
Just smoke og and get cabbage all day
The way thought play causes your main thing to say
Your style so splendid you bout your business
You arousing my interests
You sharper than a Shogun
You know the way it go, huh, game know what I'm talkin bout
[Chorus B]
Hus, that's short for hustlers
We Black Inc Raw Life productions
Tryin to find our spota amongst the ruckus
And be sucker free, flea chumps and busters
Man yeah, Get 'em hus, get 'em hus, get 'em hus
[Black Thought]
Hey yo I'm tryin to get it at any cost so it's no remorse
When I'm blastin off like you been askin for it
When Black step in the door all hats is off
Your hands up in the air goin back and forth
I'm about ready for a classic massacre
I'll make it hotter than when Shaft in Africa
Jump outta a black Porshe huffin a fat cigar
Night ridin on 'em like my last name Hasselhoff
Voted unlikely to succeed cause my class was full
Of naysayers, cheaters and thieves
All it gave me was a good enough reason to leave
And put the writing on the wall for y'all to read it and weep
Cause I'm the force of the Lord, the rage of hell
You'd rather head for the hills and save yourselves
My Man rip drums like He ringin the bells
The King of the Realm you seen Him do His thing in a film
Come on
[Chorus B]
[Malik B]
Dreams when M16's with infrared beams
Blowin up presidents' cribs with cans of kerosene
Highjack the limousine with a strategic routine
Then blast my enemy, head for the Caribbean
Militant guerilla camp is ready for war
Lay your corner face down, place down your jewels cash and four four
When I score prepare for toture
Fuck around and make your town Warsaw
I'm from Illadel the land where the killas dwell
My technique is to ambush you guerilla style
My instinct is of a killer whale bang you up from head to toe
With lyrics I pack like a nine millimal
My types subliminal mentality switched to criminal
Importing heroin internash from Senegal
A soldier takes a stripes from a general
Used the mike of iron or lead
You choose your mineral
[Chorus A]
Flying in over Asia low
Not the one that we think we know
Will it be a better life? (I never know)
Will they understand a word? (I don't think so, well all the better)
But the catch phrases (We can leave behind)
There when we go (Everything we know)
Will be the likes of
"Elegance of line" (And we'll all get in line)
And "sense of place" (It's called "this old continent")
"Elegance of line" (And we'll all get in line)
And "sense of place" (It's called "this old continent")
And room for one more
All we see out across the land
All exists out of our demand
Will it be our new America? (And we'll all get in line)
And can we invent it's history? (We can say we tried, well I've been)
Well that's what (wondering if anyone)
The brochures would imply (back home is on our side)
And we'll have
"Elegance of line" (And we'll all get in line)
And "sense of place" (It's called "this old continent")
"Elegance of line" (And we'll all get in line)
And "sense of place" (It's called "this old continent")
Elegance of line
And room for one more
Always one more
They say it comes to you
Like a light in a dark blue night
Irresistible, too clean and too bright
I tried to sleep it off
And I tried to hate it off
But I don't want to wait
I just don't want to wait
Every morning another darkness falls
Holds me gently but it won't let me go
And when I say I want to get away
I mean I want to get away now
Shine the light shine the light
I won't look away, I won't look away
All the parts and so decided
Once in some abandoned world
Hosts inside and guests invited
Rolling with the moody girls
A jostly night anticipated
First one home from boarding school
A dash from dad, the rest created
As per Hoyle's creation rules
Patterned shawl draped in a crown
Lipstick darker than her frown
And dusty jewelry hanging low down
Out of the lost and found
Now I'm rolling, now I'm rolling
Now I'm rolling, now I'm rolling
I'm rolling with the moody girls
Caught without a class distinction
Prints replacing oils for now
Each new year could bring extinction
No one knows exactly how
Unfolding their defense in stages
Harshest critics can't refuse
Two steps from the middle ages
Rose details and ruby shoes
Taking on their sovereignty
Pointless as it may well be
But someone's going to have to go see
And it might as well be me
Now I'm rolling, now I'm rolling
Now I'm rolling, now I'm rolling
I'm rolling with the moody girls
Now I'm rolling, now I'm rolling
Now I'm rolling, now I'm rolling
I'm rolling with the moody girls
Amelia have you lost your patience
With my attempts at conversations?
I know I've lost my chance with you
I know the words aren't getting through
So what should I do?
Amelia has the one you trusted
Grown hard and maladjusted?
But there are always reasons why
I know I can't just say goodbye
So what's left to try?
What if the whole world saw I care?
It's never kind to souls laid bare
But Amelia, I'm half undone inside, I swear
Amelia did a perfect vision
Fade under cold derision?
I'm tired of staying out of sight
But are the cold stares left and right
Just too much to fight?
Next life, I'll be the young distraught
You be the jungle man now caught
Oh Amelia, I can't give what I haven't got
Used to run all night on mood swings
And spill our gasoline
And play the violin behind the scenes
Felt so right to leave you losers
Why do I miss you now?
How much we give the ghost up
When we learned how to get where we're going?
Come on home, Wyoming
I know that every night you lie
And stare at the ceiling
Till you start believing it's the sky
Never knowing why
High on any sheer will measure
We run the on-time train
But we could call just one off due to rain
Sable frenzy, drunks and addicts
Do it all the time
We could always let one fall behind what we do
And pay what we're owing
Come on home, Wyoming
I know that every night you lie
Stare at the ceiling
Till you start believing it's the sky
Never knowing why
On initiations week
On initiations week
We'll be kicking out the jams
And going at our peak
Initiations, formal invitations
Flighty and fancy
All night catty and chatty
They said "Who's gonna slam?
You on the periphery
Your folded shoulders, your lives mean nothing"
They keep the quiet ones quiet
And thinking "It works fine without me
Just fine without me"
But tonight that's where every last one's gonna be
There for all the lovely eyes to see
All the lovely eyes to see
And no one's going to disagree
And we'll be kicking out the jams
And going at our peak
I must be almost old enough to hear the bad news - tell me now
We can drink to Minneapolis and Vegas
It may be an almost absolute relief for us
On our way down, and everyone around
I'll walk around the city snapping pictures - uninvolved
And wasting no one's hopes for me
No one left to look at me as if I've let them down
No longer sounding like I'm trying to change the key
I'm going to be the picture of agreeability
They'll call me the picture of agreeability
Get that original thought away from me
So into the chaff
Last laughs of the traveling class
Low tide on the sand
Sad strand of the government land
I'd not be such a disgrace to
Everything that I've been through
If I had it to do
Dripping with looks like you
Private heaven blonde
Small pond of the demimonde
Want it back to lose
Soft shoes, always something to prove
And I'd do anything once, too
Just shut up about school
I think I'd learn too
Dripping with looks like you
I watch the mood get sober and I'm not so sure I'm over
All the times I didn't know and I didn't used to know
When my heart was breaking nightly
Was I taking things too lightly
That would never come again, that would stay awhile and end?
Bring us in under budget, lord
We want out of the wrong
Playing safe too long
Though we're miles clear of the firefight
We can't light our pipes with hindsight
I'll re-start this life somehow, I could live it better now
Give us grace under pressure, lord
And help us watch our tongues
And make our mistakes young
In a Delorean (we're all going make our mistakes young)
In a Delorean (we're all going make our mistakes young)
In a Delorean
I'd apologize the ears off
But the gloom here never clears off
I can't sit through one more day of deserving some O.K.
It's a scandal just to mention
But I don't mind the attention
It's a failing by design, Betty Ford's world and not mine
Give us some final option, lord
We mean well every one
Let us make our mistakes young
In a Delorean (we're all going make our mistakes young)
In a Delorean (we're all going make our mistakes young)
In a Delorean
Pulse active, man, I'm a master mind, Backhand, Backgammon with a faster mind. Game Theory, Yodel let my soldiers hear me, So solid, you better metal gear me.
Steady gamer, you're a lamer, Need a second life just to get you some fame, huh? Bottle'a champagne held by the power, Buy another one when the clock strikes the hour.
Get drunk, and slide up in the limo, Typin' on the Skype, yeah talkin to the camo. By the time nerd life on the chorus, Nerd life on the block rootin' for us.
Writin' rhymes through school up in the notepad, G hit it on the block, yeah we so rad. Like the power glove, baby we so bad. DSL on my block, rollin' covad.
(Hook) Game theory, your man made it happen. Nerd Life on the tummy and I'm rappin' Nerd life on the tummy and I'm grabbin' Everything I can cause the game made it happen.
(Repeat Hook 3x)
Tired in my era, a phenomenon Said the right words and I took the Necronomicon, Writin' rhymes, bustin' heads with the feds, Burn 'em out like my Plextors since I was a kid.
They ask me, 'How can we get rid of ya?' My life get graphics, and call me a vidiot. Computer connoisseur, entrepreneur, Checkin' haters from my school and I'm seein' how they're poor.
Drank milk now the girls notice me, Made a couple bucks now the world notice me, and you know this, see Cause my game theory's bringing everything to the table Like SQL ("Sequel") queries
Computer craftsman, game theory got me Detractors, they box and crop me But my image is not to be choppy, Authentic to the game and they can never stop me
But you can't place... if there's a bus... and you can
Face the nation... you can pick the game... you can...
When you know what it is you're doing.
But when you know what it is you're doing,
Then you despise it...
Lose my sense of fair play when she's here with me
Lose my sight with one more night of late t.v.
She can go a life not looking in your eyes
And I believe her when she lies
Too far gone to disagree
Houston, does the weak transmission say it all?
Wave transparent agents of the urban sprawl
Jazz musicians everywhere you look tonight
Crawl out of my skin outright
Thin film found on coed walls
She wants the formal indictment
The show and the flow of excitement
Entertain me once and then change my life
But don't entertain me twice
Go ahead, you could be just the thing she needs
Someone there to follow anywhere she leads
We can talk psychology till the alarm rings
Biology's the only thing
At this point that will kill the weeds
She wants the formal indictment
The show and the flow of excitement
Entertain me once and then change my life
But don't entertain me twice
If your eyes are green you will turn and stay sixteen
Never disappointed by a show of hands
And if your eyes are soft you can turn it on and off
You won't be shy when making your demands
And if your eyes are slow
You will always be a lonely woman
And not because you can
No, the time is now for deciding if you can
It's been a decade of trade-offs
Of try myself or let others try
What sort of win is there waiting
For prima donnas like me to find
Standing all night in line?
It's been a decade of record stores
Hordes of failing new wave careers
What lengths we're going to just to find
Exactly what we don't want to hear
With all our well-trained ears
It's been a decade of lives I've left
Twenty months behind when I've gone
If I've been missing expect the worst
That I won't be gone long
Become the agile ones with legal means
The men who bring the message to Abilene
Look-at-me togs boxed up at mom's on the floor
The news came hard and has never been taken right
Toplevel-cleared and riding the satellite
Girl, stretch your legs and find what besides me is new
And write the obit when you do
He never ran out when the spirits were low
A nice guy as minor celebrities go
All right all together now now very minor I know
The levee view reads like life as it used to be
But coming now the only thought striking me
Is take it in well
As eyelids of evening come down
Your beautiful longing world unwound
He never walked out when the spirits were low
A nice guy as minor celebrities go
All right all together now now very minor I know
And please don't pay attention to
A thing I do or say
It's a ploy to drag you out
And take it all away
All away
I'd think there'd be laws of nature
Forcing you people to get it together
You can wreck my life
Go ahead, I know you're dying to
Go ahead, I know you're dying to
Little Ivory
What's it gonna be?
Come on the cherub lover
Exit the third degree
And oh Little Ivory
The sun going down
And who'll Little Ivory decide
To follow to town?
Little Ivory
So unsafe to see
Daddy's big guns shoot down
All hope of reasoning
And there'll be no locking him
Out if we please
With all of his lawyers he won't need
To use any keys
Little Ivory
March in the last parade
Up north of Johnny's town
Pulling up tracks you laid
And Ivory's discovering
What gets her her way
And will Little Ivory decide
To leave it someday?
Never
Oh, oh, oh
Andy don't speak I hardly think
You could live with what you'd say
And you're not the kind that likes justice blind
When it's facing back your way
Andy you're banging on the keys
But you can't flesh out a tune
You can lower your sights and read your rights
But you can't get good in an afternoon
Andy you're known for saying you don't
Speak merit system-ese
But to make it on friends too much depends
How eager you are to please
Andy you don't know the street
If you think that's how to live
Who's going to have cried when you've told your side?
I thought you were just being negative
Andy, it's such a lonely fight
Don't make it any harder than it might be
Andy, keeping the injuries slight
Your nights alone must sink like stone
Without a star to guide
And you're not the kind that in ten years' time
Will have won more to your side
Andy your bratty kid abrasion's
The charm that gets you by
You can lay the blame and place the names
But you can't play ignorant a second time
Andy, it's such a lonely fight
Don't make it any harder than it might be
Andy, keeping the injuries slight
Andy, it's such a lonely fight
Don't make it any harder than it might be
Andy, keeping the injuries slight
Keeping the injuries slight
Keeping the injuries slight
Keeping the injuries slight
Erica's gone shy
Some unknown X behind the why
All is some less today
Mass not conserving in the old way
Checking out with Brother Jay
I'll miss your half of me
Girl are you leaving something
You might later need?
Erica's word, taking me clear and leaving me blurred
Erica's news, singing the praise and playing the blues
Pulling the rug out under my shoes
Twelve years ago
Shorthand allegiance to the long throw
Make believe and pretend
I remember when they served the same end
You always liked the photo of us
Sitting in our car
Just like we're driving
Girl it's not looking like we'll go all that far
Erica's word, taking me clear and leaving me blurred
Erica's find, blowing my hair and tearing my mind
Throwing for grabs and leaving behind
Maybe you'll find that promised love
The tingle to the touch
Girl and I hope it comes through for you in a clutch
But I wouldn't bet much
Erica's word, taking me clear and leaving me blurred
Erica's news, singing the praise and playing the blues
Pulling the rug out under my shoes
Erica's find, blowing my hair and tearing my mind
Erica's word, taking me clear and leaving me blurred
Knocking me down from second to third
[No one twisting his arm]
I should have spent tonight out finding some good ledge
It's time to look at long shots, the cheap end of the wedge
You used to hear our fights half a block away
I'm wondering now which ones I could have lost to make her stay
I call a friend of mine and say haven't heard a thing
The world has made you tired, wound down the driving spring
He says you're still a child and I hope you never change
But I can't jump at every chance that's moving out of range
Second hand slow now
I don't know how
Hours got right of way
On the verge of a perfect day
The slate I got clean won't stay clean long
And the love I got over won't stay gone
But the pain of the slip through fingers lingers on
Run the blacktop circuit, find the ethnic buys
Who is going to love this place when the trade route dies
Gassed to make the coast homes, roll the windows tight
Young men it's not your concern where money spends the night
New top guns I say glad to shake your hand
Lots don't get so lucky and luck is what will stand
Find you've got no grip on anything that lasts
All you party boys had best get serious and fast
Hearts at each side go
High now then low
What will make the race?
Maybe leaving without a trace
The slate I got clean won't stay clean long
And the love I got over won't stay gone
But the pain of the slip through fingers lingers on
The slate I got clean won't stay clean long
And the love I got over won't stay gone
But the pain of the slip through fingers lingers on
Lost to your mascara, I used to like your eyes
Still got your looks I guess I'm tired of what it all
implies
A year ago we called this a good time
Nightmares of love affairs, who cares why?
It's five A.M. and we've got everything we want
And I say don't look now
Taking it while we can
Curse of the frontier land
It's no big secret, folks insist the sickness goes too
far
German genius, Paris jet-set breaking down our door
They talk about us like we never tried
Old-moneyed ballroom corpses
Fuss and whine
I don't like quiet rooms but I just can't take that sound
And I say don't look now
Taking it while we can
Curse of the frontier land
All over El Cerrito hair gets combed in tangles down
And every radio's aligned onto the finest sound
Look out for love lost when the lights are changing
All last year's cassettes together melted on the ground
All over London, England young lines take the old lines on
The weight of never making any difference almost gone
But it's a headache being right when everybody waits
To jump on you the first time that you're wrong
Across the nation every sports bar turns the pre-game on
And every regular is sneering like we don't belong
No it's not true I played a lot of baseball in my younger days
One day the diamonds were all gone
The notices I never thought would be sent out have arrived
The notices I never thought would be sent out have arrived
Why can't we throw them in the faces that say we may not survive?
Why can't we cruise the night alive?
You drive
Donovan tapes play for hours on end
But the old feelings won't stay
Try though she may
Hates who she was yesterday
And so does she think that she loves someone?
Making the firedrill work twice
Always no dice
Don't think that things can stay nice
Swordfights on tables for way too long
Ended I guess in a draw
Now Douglas Fairbanks is one off the list
Singing la Leilani la Leilani la
Was every outing a play for you
Or did I really have fun?
Clothes on the run
Go out and make me someone
Whatever happened to that whole life?
Shootouts each chance that I saw
I hear them ask does Clint Eastwood feel lucky now?
La Leilani la Leilani la
La Leilani la Leilani la
And she just wants to look okay
She just wants it to be okay
We were breaking in but it was an open door
And there we found the decades dancing breaking in by radio
Slingshot windows opened up the sky
Defying our defiling
We found a place where runaways could belong
In Mammoth Gardens
We would dance
We would dance
Oh, just that one time did you really love me?
Seven years ago when we left our footprints in the dust
August stars are shining and I'm still waiting for summer to come
I heard it shatter in his voice
He said you can't go home anymore
In Mammoth Gardens
We would dance, We would dance
Take me back on an airplane
To the deepest shadows and then pull me down
Make me remember just how hard we used to play
Name your price, name it
You know I'll pay for just one sunny day
To be dancing the way we danced
In Mammoth Gardens
We would dance, We would dance
Diva while rehearsing speaks just in third person
Making sure you give her more than she delivers
Soft-core good vibrations in smart situations
Most predicted other than has been discovered
And though it doesn't seem so now
It doesn't matter what works out
If I were you I wouldn't put my world in doubt
What's this all about
She'll be a verb when you're a noun
And you've just got to laugh when she tries to put you down
She says "Don't assume" in language not quite human
She thinks, why go through it? Take all shortcuts
She says "Say what you need to say, don't waste words"
What do you think you'd do if you were her
Cinderella sine qua non
Sad conclusions must be drawn
Paint in oils how much you'll miss her when she's gone
What's going on?
She'll be a verb when you're a noun
And you've just got to laugh when she tries to put you down
I was on the outs today
Feeling hit up for a price I thought
That I'd never have to pay
Wicker old-world store displays
Sure I'll take your warm hearth autumn line
But with what for any fair exchange?
Accounting says the terms can't seem to be arranged
And girl I know it's nothing new
To find someone in love with you
And if you are so inclined
To change your mind
A thousand times then do
And I will wait for you
Second nature in my mind
Like a seven hundred dollar tab
Of unpaid traffic fines
And you can't walk the streets these days
Now I'm thinking we've all paid the price
But none too many get our way
And we give to get you till we give it all away
Cause girl we know it's nothing new
To find someone in love with you
And if you are so inclined
To change you mind
A thousand times then do
And I will wait for you
Nothing new
Wish I could love the way, oh the way I lean on you
Wish I could walk away if one day I wanted to
Wish I could love a day of silence
But I'll miss you to the point of violence
Wish I could stand or have a chance without you
Wish I could love the way, oh the way I'm owned by you
Wish I could really say that I've got my own life too
Wish I needed nobody's assistance
Wish that I could find a little distance
Wish I could stand or have a chance without you
We think that it can work but it doesn't often
I think we'll look like jerks nailing our own coffins
We think that we can talk but we miss it by a mile
We think that we can joke but no one cracks a smile
Must be out of touch
They think that there's so little
I can't believe there's so much
Of what the whole world wants
All down every street
But I can't get a square foot of shade from the heat
What the whole world wants
Just outside our door
Be we don't see a day's end without needing more
We get the most we can, I don't think we've earned it
We act just like a man, I don't think we've learned it
We do it like our job and we treat it like the law
Well it must have been your little sister I saw
Must have been your little sister I saw
Must have been your little sister I saw
Must have been your little sister I saw
Must have been your little sister I saw
Must have been your little sister all along
It's bred into the bone
And we don't need our friends
They wonder how to get started
I wonder if it ends
But it's what the whole world wants
All down every street
But I can't get a square foot of shade from the heat
What the whole world wants
Just outside our door
Be we don't see a day's end without needing more
What the whole world...
Cozify with the lip-tied mind
Beckmanns by the enlistment line
Got to be small when target times come
Got to be smart while acting dumb
Son I think your learning don't seem right
Sleep under the floor at night
Feeling sicko hang on sloop john
Ugliest trip I've ever been on
We'll follow those dreams we're going to have each
Small and literal, well within reach
And not a sicker fantasy dreamed of
No excuse for love
Trade all the forward brain for a needle of novocaine
Going to be reconciled and when they give you an inch
You'll take the inch with a smile
Going to get hold and no one leaves
Going to get cold and most will freeze
Going to get folded into threes
Until you bend at the waist and the knees
Oh pal Joey, we're losers we know
It's written on our hair and clothes
We've seen the rings of smoke through the trees
We're how all the words go
Ollie and Stan for all seasons we know
I couldn't face this heaven alone
Agreement made this day with the undersigned [no one twisting his arm]
Company shall be referred to as 'special friend, ' and
Shall not be held liable for monies owed
The retired vaudeville performers guild or the
American operatic wire recording archive society, and
Shall not be held liable for loss due to theft,
Misplacement, impulse buying, poor sportsmanship,
Birth of multi-headed infant, hubby red-faced after
Bizarre weight-loss Ritual, it shall be remembered by
The undersigned, no one wins by being unreasonable
Over the ceiling rain
And no place left that I know to drain
Cutting the signal flow
You can dress as you like there's still no place you can go
Going to get hold and no one leaves
Going to get cold and most will freeze
Going to get folded into threes
Until you break at the waist and the knees
Fire across the temple and out the rear, motor skill
And low muscle stopped,
No one knows how to make it stop, I hope I can wake up
Hey, Ironclad do you see me getting it bad
With your hair down in your eyes?
You don't try, the love you need is there when you cry
Oh girl it must be nice
This city brings me down, it always brings me down
Take a look around--What's going to get you through
If and when it falls apart on you?
It's come slow but now I think I know what you mean
And how it must feel so wrong
Trust your mind and when you think it's time you can
I won't ask what took so long
This city brings me down, it always wears you down
Take a look around--What's going to get you through
If and when it falls apart on you?
This city brings me down, all cities bring me down
Take a look around--What's going to stand as true
If and when it falls apart on you?
I think I saw the movie where you learned that you can't be nice
You write the boys in your home town and sing yourself "Edelweiss"
How much did you give up that it should make me this guilty now?
Don't you tell a soul that you would be off on larger lives
But I've clamped you down
Waltz the halls always, need what you need
There's more out there than we both know
It's what it should be even though it's not what it seems
Nobody knows what it means
Spare me the sincerity, I can't use what I can't see
When all your foreign words translate in English to "misery"
You think you've forced a tough decision, I don't think that's the case
Maybe we'll both find just what we need
But we're searching at entirely different rates
So waltz the halls
Fair Oaks hot spot between Howe and Watt
Sell me something I haven't already got
Her name's Marie earning her PhD
Tonight I think she'd still do it with me
You come up to me so erudite, you want some senseless scene tonight
You don't know half what goes on
Live on rayon drive
21st and J, the place is okay
Fun things to talk about when there's nothing to say
Look at you three, scared of everything you see
High school and speed never agree
Now you look to be so sensitive, you want some frightening life to live
You don't know half what goes on
Live on rayon drive
Excellent taste--It's in each look on your face
A proud young member of the white race
Walk right away, I too would be bored
No memory at all of who I voted for
Pull back the credit we take for breaking through
To the moment before we really knew
Take off the jackets and shirts and see some skin
Feel a chill of the air we were born in
Before the debate came in
The rewards are great for those who can stay
Would you all push me offside
Force me to hide from the sun?
Look at the oneupsmanship that gets you through
And you'll see that one put down is you
Shine the harsh light on the faults of those you know
And you'll find it's so bright your eyes stay closed
You better get on the first bus home
What makes it okay? So tempting to stay
Would you all turn me aside
Force me to hide from the sun
If I should run when real nighttime comes?
If I should look down off my ledge
Pare down the man who can order someone dead
To the boy who can't take the sight of red
Show the landlady who throws her weight around
As the girl who won't walk alone downtown
And you'll see it's a long way down
My bed in my room, I need some sleep
Would it be so much to ask
To please leave out of the fun?
'Cause I'm not the one
If I should run when real nighttime comes
If I should look down off my ledge
Now I don't want anything I can't afford
Just a letter from home and a lock on the door
Jody were you always sure things had gone as they should go?
Does the world come on with a handshake and hello?
I don't lose a lot of sleep, and I'm not sure what this means
But at some point I stopped remembering last night's dreams
And there's a lot to throw away
As in Soviet Russia failing to watch the things you say
Give me all the gin I need 'cause I may not feel this strong
When I phone my parents and tell them they've been wrong
Please don't ask what will I do
I can't live it this way, Jody I think I'm not like you
I've seen enough to find no news to change my mind
And I'll drop out, I mean it this time
Am I standing on my rights to demand to be so free?
Is it common knowledge the joke will be on me?
Cars won't stop for me, I know, when the light for them is green
They'll ask questions later about what light I thought I'd seen
Is it right to feel so used?
I once planned ahead longer than when the rent was due
I've seen enough to find no news to change my mind
Stacks of things I've begun
Summer indoors, nothing gets done
Can't pick out things to wear
Reasons I had no longer there
Wide-eyed West Coast
Magic on her side
She cleaned my house and said I'd never die
She thought I'd let her stay don't believe
She thought I'd let her stay don't believe
But I turned her away
And something I don't like is closer every day
Sharp wit party Oh don't make me go
They'll be making good points and I don't want to know
Send me home counting the chances I've had
I could fill up three digits
But that's not what it means to be sad
Magazines by my side
Taking to task, hurting my pride
Drive the freeway too fast
World without cops, critical mass
Restless from L.A. to Amsterdam
Somewhere she's forgetting who I am
She just wanted to stay don't believe
She just wanted to stay don't believe
But I turned her away
And something I don't like is closer every day
There's a light on the nineteenth floor tonight
They don't know there won't even be a fight
But they'll find out I've tired of all the things I've called my own
When they go to the final mats alone
Don't even waste the man-hours on us
We are finding no solution
Call all the boys in from the fighting fronts
We have lost the revolution
None of the soaring flight we dreamed
Is any closer to perfection
And all I want is one to fold my arms around
We are throwing the election
There's a light on in Joanie's room tonight
And she won't sleep till summer's going right
She thought she saw something that would lead her to believe
I'm the kind who'll accept the strokes and leave
Make me an offer, I don't waste them now
We have no more fixed intentions
Give all the faithful long-deserved rests
We've abandoned our dissentions
You could be one of someone's hundreds
Who'll be chosen for affection
And all I want is one to fold my arms around
We are throwing the election
I've got a feeling it's all rigged
I've got a feeling it ended a long time ago
Nobody tells me
I've got a feeling it's over now
I've got a feeling it's over now
I've got a feeling the votes are in and I got none
And all I want is one
And for whatever reason I wish that I had two minds
Opposite signs, parallel lines, wide point and fine
I hate admitting when you're right and I want you in plain sight
Isn't it odd? We think a lot alike tonight
And everyone asks if I'm leaving, no sir
I get around but I don't get closer
Is it because I'm 23, not 24?
And in a way I don't mind watching it get unkind
Stand where it shines, I can inspire myself just fine
I'm in the sweetest way misled, growing my hair in bed
Coffee or beer--These are a year's component thread
And everything is in terms of next time
Twenty-five thousand more miles to the dateline
Is it because I'm 24, not 25?
Turning your friends against me
Man it must be the world's easiest job
Finding a verdict of retard retard retard
Well I might be
I haven't lived enough lives for comparison
I guess I could be a little better with numbers numbers
Riding a frenzied ten-speed
Man it must be the world's easiest job
Fighting and flirting then re-start re-start re-start
Well it may work your whole life
I know it hasn't for me for so much as a week
Before everything crumbles crumbles
Man it must be the world's goddamn easiest job
Michael you
Don't know the half of a mess
Getting made
Down at your favorite address
Pretty seraphs
Cutting holes in us all
Checking stains in the stalls
Getting season box seats for the fall
With their challenge
To the too weak to fight
Leave them shaking
With their faces drained white
Shooting red glare
In the dawn's early light
Knocking doors in the night
Flush them out, they'll get picked off in flight
Angel gel it awhile
And take some appropriate notice
Before all the numbers are in
Saint Michael you don't need one more win
Who's that little pile of smiles?
Get away thank you I don't need a tax audit
I haven't made one ha ha half dollar all year
I'm a man in the clear
Who does not need company here
Must be old heathen Ed
In a rail stop gin bag rain tarp
Nobody bother me spree
Comic relief pee sprays down his knee
I know kids about three
More goddamn impressive than me
Boards and tin and empties of gin
And god only knows how many holes he's been in
Saint Michael you don't need one more win
Captain Jim throws the prime directive out
For the umpteenth time
It's habit for him now
Reeling wild from the stern to the bow
With T'Pring and T'Pau
I know why they call a starship 'she' now
Volunteers the man needs volunteers
It's a special mission for a special deputy
Up jump an eager pup saying
Put in put in put in put in put in put in put in
Put in a good word for me
Oh no master my teeth aren't to chatter
That's just them dry bone crack down
Right down under the skin
Saint Michael you don't need one more win
About this time the girls are rising early
I'm going to find a way to get back someday
Living rooms I don't know why someone would leave
And though it's taken time till I discovered
Don't you put your hand in any other
They suggest piano lessons for young beauty queens
And I know just what they mean
And if I answer to a different hunger
From the one I had when I was younger
Please remember that it's still just me inside
With one thing less to hide
Crash into June (In and out of tune)
It happens all too soon
And you don't know when it's there
Such a sorry state of affairs
Arrogance is taking me to that house
And a lifestyle I can really do without
Blowing inland off the tides of shorelines gone
This is weather that implies it's too late
Days that won't keep getting longer if we wait
Please don't think that I'm the one who should be
strong
I can't keep this up long
Crash into June (In and out of tune)
It happens all too soon
And you don't know when it's there
Such a sorry state of affairs
This is a game
I'm your specimen
You've got to let me know baby
So I can go, I'd have to fake it
I could not make it
You could not take it
Yeah, where I'ma start it at, look I'ma part of that
Downtown Philly where it's realer than a heart attack
It wasn't really that ill until the start of crack
Now it's a body caught every night on the Almanac
Rock bottom where them cops gotta problem at
Where them outsiders getting popped for they wallet at
I had nothin but I made somethin outta that
Now I'm the first out the limo like Charlie Mack
From 215 it's him the livest one
And he's representin Philly to the fullest
Blacks the realest
You can't touch him and not for nothin
If you bout hip hop then you gots to love it
If not then fuck it
I'm still handlin
Smokin more reefer than Redman and them damaging MC's
And my name's Rick Gees you endangered species
For what I do I'm about to up the fees
I'm paperchase motivated I ain't the one to play with
These cats get set ablaze
You can't have it y'all way but I'd rather parlay
Just smoke og and get cabbage all day
The way thought play causes your main thing to say
Your style so splendid you bout your business
You arousing my interests
You sharper than a Shogun
You know the way it go, huh, game know what I'm talkin bout
Hus, that's short for hustlers
We Black Inc Raw Life productions
Tryin to find our spota amongst the ruckus
And be sucker free, flea chumps and busters
Man yeah, Get 'em hus, get 'em hus, get 'em hus
Hey yo I'm tryin to get it at any cost so it's no remorse
When I'm blastin off like you been askin for it
When Black step in the door all hats is off
Your hands up in the air goin back and forth
I'm about ready for a classic massacre
I'll make it hotter than when Shaft in Africa
Jump outta a black Porshe huffin a fat cigar
Night ridin on 'em like my last name Hasselhoff
Voted unlikely to succeed cause my class was full
Of naysayers, cheaters and thieves
All it gave me was a good enough reason to leave
And put the writing on the wall for y'all to read it and weep
Cause I'm the force of the Lord, the rage of hell
You'd rather head for the hills and save yourselves
My Man rip drums like He ringin the bells
The King of the Realm you seen Him do His thing in a film
Come on
Dreams when M16's with infrared beams
Blowin up presidents' cribs with cans of kerosene
Highjack the limousine with a strategic routine
Then blast my enemy, head for the Caribbean
Militant guerilla camp is ready for war
Lay your corner face down, place down your jewels cash and four four
When I score prepare for toture
Fuck around and make your town Warsaw
I'm from Illadel the land where the killas dwell
My technique is to ambush you guerilla style
My instinct is of a killer whale bang you up from head to toe
With lyrics I pack like a nine millimal
My types subliminal mentality switched to criminal
Importing heroin internash from Senegal
A soldier takes a stripes from a general
Used the mike of iron or lead
