Gunning
It In Neutral
Poor
T-Bo cracked up.
And got sent to the funny farm.
Granpere came to visit and gave T-Bo
a chocolate cake with a hacksaw baked in it.
He kept the car going over by Shoe Town.
Came back and waited for T-Bo to escape out of there.
While T-Bo's making complex sentences to people who aren't there,
Granpere's gunning it in neutral.
Granpere's got The Amazing Rhythm Aces on the tape deck.
And he's leafing thru the Book Of Mormon
when T-Bo goose steps up with a cowboy hat on sideways
& says shove over gramps for Napoleon The Googleplex.
While Granpere's opening the window to get some air
Napoleon is gunning it in neutral.
So T-Bo got out and now he's got himself a big problem.
He's gotta live and die according to the Master Plan.
[Is he gonna write a book, and settle down,
with a looking woman who can cook?]
No! T-Bo's taking Granpere's Lincoln to the demolition derby.
He's gonna win a hundred dollars and make a big name for himself.
All his family will be proud when they're handing him the trophy.
[Cause T-Bo wanna do good?
Like he know he should?]
No! T-Bo's a crazy fuckin' maniac.
[Is he cool enough with his name
on a plaque to keep his arms
out of the straight-jacket?]
No! T-Bo's a crazy fuckin' maniac.
