Opposable Thumbs
Busdriver Lyrics

I'm a liberated plethora of pro black factoids to the white piccaninnies who love black boys
I am a free and vast source of information about black history and culture for white people who fetishize black men.

I go to every poetry reading Wearing my dashiki and kufi And when all the OG's are leaving then I scoop my weekly booty from women who are subdued by the left-wing liberal gibble-gabble for the (???) coffee shop leading frivolous civil battles
I attend every poetry event dressed in African attire and wait for the OGs to leave before picking up women who are swayed by liberal rhetoric and engage in meaningless activism.

my body's offered to a higher cause to sample my goodies with firing squad Shooting with earth tones and pastel colors Enabling' me to start acquiring broads
I offer my body to a noble cause of attracting women, using my love for nature-inspired colors to lure them in and acquire them.

I say cosmetics are extract from whale blubber I'm saying tennis shoes are made from 4 year-olds in sweat shops This aint kilwage and death to the cyber god!! Before you know it shes wearing moccasins and grass skirts See how fast it works
I make outrageous claims about consumer goods, criticizing the use of animal products and the exploitation of child labor, all while using these arguments to make women quickly change their fashion choices.

you'll be eating narcissists and bags of multi-grain bread reading books and saying TV land is for the brain dead It is simply because of her bourgeois upbringing There's her bohemian flag vintage clothes hanging off her lanky physique romanticize this angry geek
You will start adopting a more intellectual and counter-cultural lifestyle, rejecting mainstream media and consumerist tendencies. This is due to your middle-class upbringing, which you hide behind your bohemian fashion sense.

She's college material turned into a fair-skin whore American forged I've been seducing these women so I formed a committee and I'm the chairman of the board call me Harrison Ford when I have to use my "Han Solo"
She is a white, educated woman who has been corrupted by American culture and turned into a promiscuous person. I manipulate and attract these women so much that I formed a committee to do so and declare myself the leader. I compare myself to famous actors to emphasize my own importance.

guess what? happiness, has a sales tax we're not soul mates, that's just something that I read I don't love you, I am just a movie actor Lets read poems in a nuclear reactor You may think I'm just a anti-social bum Well I don't need you, cause I have opposable thumbs
Happiness comes at a cost and human connection is limited. I do not believe in love, only in playing a part as an actor. Let's read poetry in a dangerous environment. You may think I am unsocial or undesirable, but my opposable thumbs give me independence and power.

Exchange your tutu and tiara for this hemp anklet Have you ever fucked with a martyr then slept in the embankment? (??)n*sync and I wrapped into a handkerchief I decorate my speech with Taoism and karma but I don't know Walt Whitman from Walt Disney
Trade your conventional feminine clothing for something more hip and alternative like a hemp anklet. Have you ever had sex with someone who cares so much about a cause that s/he would sleep on dangerous ground? I mix different references and belief systems in my language, but my true knowledge and appreciation for literature is questionable.

Small titties and perky nipples will augment my dog sense But I'm far from a puppy dog Cause I have opposable thumbs I'm just a sturdy fraud I use to study abroad (?) undercover sex symbol Ehh?
I am attracted to women with small breasts and perkiness, and that somehow makes me have a keen sense of judgment. I am not like a loyal puppy, but I am also not a completely fake person - I do have opposable thumbs. I studied abroad and became a sex symbol without making it too obvious.

Rap moguls make sums from money fraud but I sell CD's that sponge off young ladies and will I was fighting for all of my rights when I stood still Like a beattress to the KFC When they sold chunks of the mutated red rooster Genetically engineered, dude it's good
I criticize the shady business practices of other musicians, but I myself make money off of young women. I want to claim social consciousness, but am really just passive. I compare myself to a less-than-appetizing fast food item, but highlight how good it tastes despite its flaws.

and other girls sell the corporate Lex Luthor exponentially by the end of the year (?) out of toilet seats, we'll come to my place and read ya tarot cards we'll exchange (?) fluids (??) and learn my political views, the colorful whimsical hues
Other women sell out to the evil corporate system, but I will keep my unique and countercultural lifestyle. We can come to my place to try new things, explore spirituality and have sex. I will teach you about my liberal ideas and ones of other colors.

All I have is salty game and a membership to blockbuster, trying to make subtle advances until she called me a cocksucker and told me to not touch her Can't two consenting adults be open about their sexuality over hot supper Trying to nibble on the woman flower but I get swooped down upon by the ex-boyfriend crop duster
I have nothing but my charming personality and a video rental membership, and I try to use that to make advances on women. Some women will call me out for being inappropriate, but can't we just discuss our mutual attraction? I try to perform oral sex on a woman but get interrupted by her ex-boyfriend who tries to ruin the experience.

She'll think I commute from Mars to Earth to pick a working princess in a poetry onto star-search Even I'm of large gurth and have boils on my skin and I'm a hunchback She'll simply involve by my supposed artwork Even though my poems sound like im the first mothafucka to hear Ursula Rucker And I'm so Hollywood I wanna be on speaking terms with all the superstars Eating wheat germs and fruit bars (?) and roll up my used car Like poetry for polygamy yeah Poetry for polygamy yeah
She will be enamored by my artistic talent and think I come from another world just to find her. Even though I have physical flaws and lack originality in my poetry, she still believes in my persona. I am obsessed with the idea of being a famous artist and live a healthy lifestyle, all while relying on my old car. My poetry is an invitation to embrace polygamy.

This goes out, this goes out to all the spoken-word artists Nothing but hemp anklets and fucking sun dresses and fucking makeshift, bullshit dreadlocks You know what I'm saying? I got a fetish for that
This message is for all spoken-word artists, who should dress in alternative and hippie-style clothing and accessories, including hemp anklets, sundresses, and dreadlocks. I have a fetish for this particular aesthetic.

guess what? happiness, has a sales tax we're not soul mates, that's just something that I read I don't love you, I am just a movie actor Lets read poems in a nuclear reactor You may think I'm just a anti-social bum Well I don't need you, cause I have opposable thumbs
Happiness is not free and requires payment. We are not destined to be together, that's just what I've learned. I do not truly love you, I just pretend to be someone else. Let's do something unconventional like reading poetry in a nuclear environment. You may think I am a social outcast or a loser, but I can still function and achieve things because of my opposable thumbs.

thumbs up, thumbs up thumbs down
Express your agreement or disagreement with a simple symbolic gesture.

Hey, young lady? very good!
Hey, young lady, congratulations on sleeping with a poet!
