Kolkyt tonttuu markkoina, velkoja perässä
Jos ei menny kurkust alas, ni sitten nenästä
Nyt täytys herätä, puheita puheiden perää
Huvittavaa ku en usko itteenikää enää
Ketä tässä pitäs uskoo? jumalaa vai?
Heittäytyy polvillee, ja vetää kumaraa vai?
Päädyn kuitenki kuppilaan kiskoon humalaa tai
Herään turust ja mietin viel mite? junalla vai?

Taskut täynnä kuittei paikoist, mist ei oo kärryä
Varmaan ku poltan röökiä yht paljon ku poltan ällyä
Tääl päin älyy, oon elävä todiste siit
Kytät tulee hakeen ja niil on ne todiste sheet
Jos mennää, mennää pää ekana hokana
Monesti oon vainoharhanen, sekava, kaukana todest
Päiväst toiseen, asioista ymmällää
Voit puhuu kädelle, ku pää ei enää ymmärrä

En tiiä mistä alottaa
Nään asioit tai unii jotka yrittää mua tulevasta varottaa
Yritän sit valottaa
En tiiä anteeks ollenkaa antaa, vaikeeta sanottaa
Kaiken se kadottaa
Huoletonta elämää kun joka päivä on niin pajoissaan
Kaiken se hajoittaa
Mihin kosken, jos en koske hajoo sitten muuten vaan

Ne haluu et mä antaudun, mut ne ei tiiä
Kuin kauas mun ääni täältä kantautuu
Täältä pohjalta ei varmaan kauheen moni kuule
Jos ääni ei katoo matkal, se tyssää tohon tuuleen
Tikkaat olis, mut ne yltää vaa puolee välii
Ai että omin voimin pitäs nousta tää mäki
Lennän kotkan pesän yli, tai oon se käki
Yli puolet tutuista on hulluu koko vitun väki
Kellään oo tietoo mitä näkee tai näki
Näät ittes nuores klopissa nii häpeethä säki
Ja ku siat tulee käymää, ne tulee aina oven läpi
Tuliko ne sitte poimii kukat, tai muka hätii
Vetäny kuumeisesti huumeit
Olin sitte vapaa-ajalla, tai vaikka vittu duuneis
Yks ojassa niin että uu ei
