Testo Death - Denis Leary
Testo della canzone Death (Denis Leary), tratta dall'album No Cure For Cancer (Explicit Version)
I'm sick and tired of my generation getting blamed for the state of
The planet. I'm sick of my generation getting called the "
TV Generation". "Well, all you guys did was watch TV." What'd you
Expect? We watched Lee Harvey Oswald get shot live on TV one Sunday
Morning. We were afraid to change the fucking channel for the next 30
Years. "This show sucks." Yeah, but Tony might get shot during the
Commercial, now hang on. That's what's wrong in this country, we
Always shoot the wrong guys. We shoot JFK. We shoot RFK. It comes to
Teddy, we go, "Ah, leave him alone, he'll fuck it up himself, no
Problem", you know? Biggest target in the whole goddamn Kennedy
Family. Nobody takes a shot at him. He weighs about 7,000 pounds
You could shoot a bullet in Los Angeles and hit him in the ass in
Boston five minutes later. He'd be standing on the lawn at the
Kennedy compound going, "Oh, oh, oh, there's a bullet in my ass, oh
Oh, oh, oh." Ted Kennedy, good senator, but a bad date, you know what
I'm saying, folks? One of those guys gets home around 4 o'clock in
The morning and goes, "What did I forget? Oh, the fucking girl!
What's the matter with me? Jesus, where are my pants? Holy shit!" '
Cause I'll tell you folks, we got a real problem with guns in this
Country. We have people snapping almost twice, three, four, five
Times a year, right? People just snap, they can't take it anymore
They snap, they go into a McDonald's and kill 15 people. I mean, what
The fuck is going on down at the post office? Every six months some
Guy gets fired, comes back and kills all his co-workers. If I worked
At the post office as a supervisor, I wouldn't lay anybody off for
The next 25 fucking years. I'd just walk around going, "Hanrahan
What are you doing?" "Nothing!" "Well, keep it up, you're doing a
Great job, Jesus." I'll tell ya, and I am sick and tired of New York
Taking the blame in this country for the crime problem, you know?
Whenever you read a fact chart, it always says Detroit leads the
World in rape and murder and everything else, but New York takes the
Blame. "New York's a cesspool! It's a cesspool of filth and crime
We're moving!" Hey, I just moved here four years ago and I'm not
Leaving because this is the most exciting place in the world to live
Oh, yeah! Yeah, there are so many ways to die in New York City, come
On! Race riots, drive-by shootings, subway crashes, construction
Cranes collapsing on the sidewalks, manhole covers blowing up and
Asbestos shooting into the sky. We had a subway crash here a couple
Years ago, five people died. The next day they found out the driver
Was drunk and hooked on crack. Folks, this makes Disneyland look like
A fucking bike ride, doesn't it? "Your driver today is Edward, he's
Drunk and hooked on crack. The man sitting next to you has a loaded
Nine millimeter. Good luck, folks!" "Honey, get the camera out, this
Is gonna be fucking great!" Yeah, I love living in New York, man
And people who live in New York, we wear that fact like a badge right
On our sleeve, 'cause we know that fact impresses everybody! "I was
In Vietnam." "So what? I live in New York." Really? Yeah, 'cause New
York teaches you to live life the way it should be lived - moment to
Moment. Yes, because every moment in New York could be your last. Oh
Yeah. Yeah. You could be walking down the street tomorrow, feeling
Good about yourself, drink-free, drug-free, looking forward to the
Future, and somebody accidentally nudges their poodle off a 75th
Floor ledge... doink! And he's headed for the ground at 175,000 miles
Per hour... burr! And ker-chunk, he's embedded in your head. You're
Dead on contact. The headline in the Post the next day reads, "Man
Killed by best friend." People cut the article out and they laugh
About it at the office and you're forever remembered as the Poodle
Man. "I knew the Poodle Man and he hated fucking poodles." New York
Teaches you to live life moment to moment and street to street and
Beat to beat. 'Cause we've all played that street-to-street game in
New York, haven't we? Yes, we have. Good block, bad block. Good
Block, bad block. Gun block, crack block. Asbestos block, poodle
Block, poodle block! 'Cause most people think life sucks, and then
You die. I disagree. I think life sucks, then you get cancer. Then
You go into chemotherapy, you lose all your hair, you feel bad about
Yourself. Then all of a sudden the cancer goes into remission, you
Come out, you look good, you feel good, you're going great. All of
A sudden you have a stroke, you can't move your right side. And one
Day you step off the curb at 68th by Lincoln Center and bang! You
Get hit by a bus and then maybe you die. 'Cause I think Jim Henson
Said it best when he said, "Anybody got any aspirin? I think I got
A cold." And a chill filled the room. We all have this incredible
Attachment to the Muppets, don't we? We love the Muppets! They're so
Cute! Did you hear about Jim Henson's funeral here in New York City?
Huh? Huh? Kermit the Frog and Big Bird sang "It's Not Easy Being
Green" at Jim Henson's funeral. If I'm 56 years old when I kick the
Bucket and a fucking sock is singing at my funeral, I'm gonna pop out
Of that coffin and go, "Hey, what the hell is this about? Sammy Davis
Jr. gets Frank Sinatra, I get a fucking sock? I'm pissed off now!"
