Bo Burnham - Hell Of A Ride lyrics

We've had a hell of a ride

But you thought we were riding to heaven,

Well, I motherfucking lied

So crank that funky shit to eleven

('leven, 'leven, 'leven)

Photosynthetical, I want 'em botanical

And I'm kind of theoretical

Quantum mechanical

Alphabetical, a word puritanical

Not a hypothetical

I rule tyrannical

Tyrannical-saurus-rex

Fuck the system

Solar plexus

A lone star Texas, yeah,

Too smart to be sexist, hey

Slow it down; the shit's too quick

Fuck it. Stick with it

The kid is too sick to quit

Haters: suck my dick.

Handle the candle, lick the wick.

No, stop. Better than that.

C'mon, "mail" definition, there's a letter in that

Spell "male" then repeat the second letter in that

AA if you got a girl, let her in that.

I said I've got a green light, Jay Gatsby

You know leaking's just for maxi

So leak my tracks, they're tax-free

and that's the way they should be if you ask me.

Take this music

Choose it, use it, fuse it,

Abuse it, lose it.

Some of you like it sweet,

But if it's just me, then B, let's ride the beat.

Fuck it, get a bucket

My stomach is gonna upchuck

Texas ranger, no walker, get up, Chuck

Pixar's dicks are slick 'cause they fucked up

What a fuck up, stuck up, suck up

Say this shit is crap

Write me off 'cause I'm a white kid, tryin' to rap

Because I'm willing to quit, I'm just gettin' the kill

Keep killin' this shit, oh

We've had a hell of a ride

But you thought we were ridin' to heaven

Well, I motherfucking lied

So crank that funky shit to eleven

We've had a hell of a ride

You thought we were ridin' to heaven, heaven

I motherfucking lied

So crank that funky shit to eleven, baby

Lyrical acrobat

Listen empirical mathematician, the miracle aftermath

Is it part due to the fact that rap's elastic addict acts dismissive?

Too smart to be dismissed, hey

This heartbeat missed a fist

Kids can't cut it but they try a wrist, shit

Got nothin' on me, I'm a nihilist

Come on, Bo, flow

Blow like the wind go

Flow like the wind blow

Blowin' out the window

Amnesty, Amnesia, I remember a window in Indonesia

Pleased to meet ya

I don't believe in Jesus

Jesus please don't sneeze your cheez-its

Please, it's just what I believe

It's not Jesus. It's Jesus, right?

Not like the Jeremiah Wright guy

Rhyme, too tight, and it's makin' you fight

My skins light brite, like a knife in your wi-fi

Lord of the Rings, but I'm the Tolkien white guy

Too dense, gotta rewind it

Hate my brain, but too sane to mind it

The meaning's there, but as a rule of thumb

Just hum if you're too dumb to find it, uh.

We've had a hell of a ride

But you thought we were ridin' to heaven

Well, I motherfucking lied

So crank that funky shit to eleven

We've had a hell of a ride

But you thought we were ridin' to heaven, heaven

I motherfucking lied

Now crank that funky shit to eleven, baby

We had a hell of a ride

But I thought we were ridin' to heaven, heaven

You motherfucking lied

So crank that funky shit to eleven, 'leven

We had a hell of a ride

[You think I'm jokin', well, then you don't know me]

But you thought we were ridin' to heaven, heaven

[You don't, you don't, you don't know me at all]

I motherfucking lied

[You think I'm jokin', well, then you don't know me]

So crank that funky shit to eleven, baby

[You don't, you don't, you don't know me at all]

We had a hell of a ride

You thought we were ridin' to heaven, heaven

I motherfucking lied

So crank that funky shit to eleven, 'leven

We had a hell of a ride

But I thought we were ridin' to heaven, heaven

You motherfucking lied

So crank that funky shit to eleven, 'leven
