Nope, there ain’t no hope.<\/p>\n
We is not teachin’ hope.<\/p>\n
Hope is like Saddam’s rope,<\/p>\n
The one around his throat.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hope is for the Judas Goat,<\/p>\n
The one that leads to<\/p>\n
slaughter houses.<\/p>\n
Why Hope<\/p>\n
When we can know.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hope requires trust,<\/p>\n
And that is very<\/p>\n
hard for US.<\/p>\n
To give away<\/p>\n
What we don’t get,<\/p>\n
Stupid, slept,<\/p>\n
I won’t forget.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I don’t have to pay<\/p>\n
The rent.<\/p>\n
Hope is sum’n<\/p>\n
I might regret.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
baby, wet my cigarette,<\/p>\n
we are celebrating death,<\/p>\n
Bring the fentynyl and meth,<\/p>\n
Bring the Hope that we have left.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hope is for<\/p>\n
The hopeless<\/p>\n
Or the hocus pocus bogus<\/p>\n
Smorgasbord of morbid orchids<\/p>\n
Just don’t give them much importance.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I have Hope they will not notice<\/p>\n
Hope they don’t have any motives<\/p>\n
Though I know they have explosives,<\/p>\n
I just hope they don’t explode THIS.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hope is for the hopefool<\/p>\n
Not hopeful or helpful,<\/p>\n
For hopeless<\/p>\n
is helpless.<\/p>\n
Hope is for<\/p>\n
Hopers.<\/p>\n
Smokers with chokers<\/p>\n
Pokers with jokers<\/p>\n
Dopers with chauffeurs.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ogres with loafers,<\/p>\n
Donors will go first.<\/p>\n
Loners will mourn worse<\/p>\n
Stoners withhold turns.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All I got to say is NOPE,<\/p>\n
We shall NOT depend<\/p>\n
On HOPE.<\/p>\n
