Trekka
Puscifer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't know, but it's been said,
"You do or don't, and then you're dead."
So climb away, get high instead.
Never stray, just move ahead.

Never one to hog the grass,
Sniff the dope and act an ass,
Just a soldier marching to
The golden rule of perfect paths.

So pardon me, I'm wrappin' up.
If I was speakin out of class,
I'm just a grunt who's groovy, too.
The golden rule of perfect paths.

I don't know, but it's been said,
"You do or don't, and then you're dead."
So climb I will, or crawl. A warning,
Never stray just move ahead.

Left, right, left. Hooah!

I don't know but it's been said,
"We'll rest forever when we're dead."
I don't know but it's been said,
"We'll rest forever when we're dead."

Hup, hup, hup.

I don't know but it's been said,
"We'll last forever when we're dead."
I don't know but it's been said,
"We'll rest forever when we're dead."

I don't know but it's been said,
"We'll last forever when we're dead."
I don't know but it's been said,
"We'll rest forever when we're dead."





We'll rest forever when we're dead.
