Joy Bang One Time
The Almighty Lyrics

Like a serpent but got no where to slide
Feeling stuck and trapped, unable to move forward like a snake without a place to slide.

Out makin' cars pretending how to live
Living a life that is not authentic, pretending to know how to live while working a mundane job.

Her virgin fires been kissed so many times
Being used and taken advantage of so many times that the initial passion and excitement has faded.

But hay man it's his to be wasted all the time
Despite feeling used and unfulfilled, accepting that it's their own life to waste and do with as they please.

All the animals come out at night
The darker side of life comes out at night, bringing out dangerous creatures and behaviors.

Snakes and lizards been sleeping in your bed
Allowing negative and unhealthy things into your life, and accepting them as a norm.

Hanging out in the dollar hotels
Living a cheap and unfulfilling life, settling for less than what one deserves.

You've spent your whole life sitting on the jon
Having done nothing significant or worthwhile in life, spending all of it on mundane and pointless activities.

Hollywood will never learn
The entertainment industry will never learn from past mistakes and continue to engage in reckless behavior.

Play with fire and you'll get burned
Engaging in dangerous or risky behavior will eventually result in negative consequences.

Joy bang one time
Experiencing a moment of pure joy and excitement, getting lost in the moment.

Gettin' high and feeling fine
Using drugs or alcohol to feel good and escape reality.

Show me how you lose your mind
Experiencing a total loss of control and mental clarity, letting go of all inhibitions and rationality.

All alone, dead in the city
Feeling isolated and hopeless in a large and impersonal city.

You're doing horse child don't look too pretty
Using drugs, specifically heroin, which can result in a very negative physical appearance.

Don't need no money cause it's heaven sent
Believing that drugs or the high from them is a gift from a higher power, and that material possessions are irrelevant.

But you don't tell nobody it ain't cool to pay the rent
Hiding the fact that you are struggling to make ends meet, and pretending that living in poverty is a choice or lifestyle.

One day you'll wake up wasted and done
Realizing one day that you have wasted your life, and feeling regret and disappointment.

Look in the mirror and you won't see no one
Losing your sense of self and identity, becoming a shell of a person.

Just a crazy child who wanted to be free
Feeling trapped and wanting to escape, but resorting to reckless behavior instead of positive change.

You did it once but now you won't let it be
Having experienced a moment of joy and abandon, but now clinging to it as a false sense of happiness and fulfillment.

The lights go down
Entering a darker and more dangerous environment.

And there's a haze of love
Being in a state of altered consciousness, possibly due to drugs or alcohol, and feeling a false sense of love or connection.

You tell your lies to dark
Hiding your true self and intentions from others, possibly due to feeling ashamed or unworthy.

Cause it never gets enough
Continuously engaging in reckless or dangerous behavior that provides temporary relief, but never truly satisfies or fulfills.
