Aesop Rock - Winners Take All Lyrics






[Verse 1]
Parachute ratty, one bunk cord now the air is scooped badly
Dripping out the sticks like a twig-tweed hammock
Miter cut the cables for that quick, clean transit
Miser took the big screen; Panic made a business card
Ankle out of whack, painkiller tobacco scrap
We navigate the yellow corn hype for the barn
When the spotlight swiveled hard right over the farm
Post up, 3 cheers for the gimp
Spread thank you (3 on the right)
Limp to the door, splint what he mangles (3 on the left)
Yea I knew the percentages
But the numbers were unaware of the grand finale's emphasis
And over the scent of a thousand dead dogs
Agent Zip-Zooka[?] swore to pull it off, GAMEFACE
Walkie-talkies squawking up his hip regarding paratroopers: 20 (Ha!)
Tug a noise/annoys[?] box-trigger reporting for hunting

[Chorus]
I have landed safely
I have not recieved my papers
I have zero natural enemies
I don't know my location
I have no training in reconnaissance, combat or colluding
I'm calling for my orders, over
(STRAP ON A HELMET AND START SHOOTING!)

[Verse 2]
[?] up in a killer horse, numb and bloodthirsty
'Till the uncle spitter beg the pig to hug mercy (Ha!)
240-below shit, kickers tickle the corpses (duck!)
Duck the widow-maker, also manufactures swords (ok...)
Manufactures ornaments, if it moves stick a fork in it
Winners take all, killers rape all coordinates
Unfortunately, courted by the most tenacious gaurdian
Whose aimless nature bait a holler [?] taste the martyr's skin
No semper-fide[?] (Nope), no saluter units
Soldier the fire is more flesh than sulfer
And when the automatic-jitters wiggle the ribs
I feel so alive it don't matter which bitches litter is clipped (Bang!)
Sun down, goggle up; canteen gobble-juice
Teargas nozzle up, brain buff hostile youth
Chop it up, lock a noose upon it
You will die for the glory of...Shit, I can't put my finger on it
But it's big! Big and legitimate
Justify women and kiddie killer shit, iller it builds
So he is not a natural predator, but can dismantle an AK-47
Clean and rebuild before you can mayday bretheren (Mayday!)
Muddy-gut snake eyes, she approaches cobras with an ugly muck
And bloody Bowie knife clamped in the canines
Wake 'em with that blind military mechanism set to bludgeon
WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION!?

[Chorus]
I have landed safely
I have not recieved my papers
I have zero natural enemies
I don't know my location
I have no training in reconnaissance, combat or colluding
I'm calling for my orders, over
(STRAP ON A HELMET AND START SHOOTING!)
I was standing at attention with a pocket full of weapons
And the will to walk a mile in the same fatigues that I slept in
I have yet to find a day in life worthy of my saluting
I'm calling for my orders, over
(STRAP ON A HELMET AND START SHOOTING!)

[Verse 3]
I shimmy up out of the fox
Hold the sword of the only after having logged every cadaver accordingly
High scores keep our Tama-tongs enthralled
(There is no course iller than no course at all)
Okay, if his perspective is smirked, sneaky detective work is aborted
And it's no longer whisper-mode on the red alert
No bed of dirt 'n' sniper rifle peeking out the bunker (uh!)
Now I'm set in city looking for something to puncture [gunshot]
Help me up, the numbers of the heroes sat at suppers
Treat the public like a tin can, riddled before it plummets (Brrrap!)
But, adrenaline can lead to lazy-eye hassles
So he list the little boy into the pin-up pineapple[?] (Heh)
Thats funny...Bumps into the steel-toe
Thats lovely, sum it up in (Oh, hell no!)
And just as fast as the parachute cable snipped
I was rag-doll, horizontal, two limbs short of fixed
Link a baby pulled around the standard issued weaponry
While fading as a blemish in civility's memory
They will step over the body for the looting..
(Ready on the far end line)
(The fuck is that?)
STRAP ON A HELMET AND START SHOOTING!

[Chorus]
I have landed safely
I have not recieved my papers
I have zero natural enemies
I don't know my location
I have no training in reconnaissance, combat or colluding
I'm calling for my orders, over
(STRAP ON A HELMET AND START SHOOTING!)
I was standing at attention with a pocket full of weapons
And the will to walk a mile in the same fatigues that I slept in
I have yet to find a day in life worthy of my saluting
I'm calling for my orders, over
STRAP ON A HELMET AND START SHOOTING! [SHOOTING!: Repeat till fade out]

  16. W.... ....

    Rob Sonic made this beat!

    W.... ....

    @Foreign Truth
    Haha yeah man xD I love it!

    W.... ....

    Personally one of my least favorite beats out of all his music, in my top 10 least. 

    W.... ....

    Somebody with too big of a complex to respect the simplistic.

    W.... ....

    @ReppeNThA707 right to an opinion. That's all he is expressing.

    W.... ....

    @VegasStreetLights Dogmatically so

  17. T.... ....

    @jordayd19  Black water was a company that did some really messed up things and got away with it because the govt. decided that they can get amnesty or some junk while they are over there because we needed so much help with what ever our true intent was. A lot (I dont know how many for sure) of our service men and wemen that got out of the military would go and sign up for those companies and then do what ever they wanted. Eventually they were taken to court but let go.  I think that they might have changed their name ass well. But yeah, they were an evil company that should have been disbanded much MUCH sooner.

    T.... ....

    As an Army veteran who's seen Blackwater in action I can say FUCK BLACKWATER. They'd shoot at everything cause they're scared little girls and piss off the locals. Then they'd leave once everyone was nice and angry at Americans. Then the IEDs start. Blackwater is responsible for the deaths of American service members and should answer for their crimes. And yes they changed their name to Academi. Scum bags with little di*k syndrome.

    T.... ....

    You're a bad speller!

  18. T.... ....

    I'm not going to like or dislike. I generally support our troops. Had it not been for the US military we could be speaking German or Japanese. I might not agree with everything that they are sent out to do. Just because I support the military does not mean I support what kinds of things they do.

    T.... ....

    It's bad to kill unless it is for your country, right?

    T.... ....

    Who are you: name, age and social security number please!

  19. r.... ....

    its more likely that 4 people clicked thumb down on accident than there being 4 people on the planet not diggin this shit

  20. P.... A....

    Within those two years, there have been four dislikes by four assholes.

  21. t.... ....

    Thanks. Now somebody is going to dislike just to spite you.

    You want 0 dislikes to last? DONT MENTION IT.

  22. g.... ....

    Waiting for a day worthy of my saluting.

  23. r.... ....

    Anyone disliking this need's to disassociate themselves with Hip-Hop completely.

  24. m.... m....

    haha he said.. "and its big! big and legitimate justify women and kiddie killer shit iller it builds!"
    wtf! hahaha

  25. n.... ....

    true, but i think that the whole undertone of the song is to undermine the motivation of the whole military. it's not a glory anthem of how cool it is to be in the army, it's to say how kcuffed up it is to wage war and why it's a waste

  26. D.... ....

    I can dig that

  27. Z.... R....

    I want to sign up to kill people of any color, what job is more important than a job that gets to take away what people live for, their life.

  28. K.... ....

    2 military weapons contractors bumped this.

  29. P.... A....

    You see there are people in this world, people that must ruin a dislike free youtube video.

  30. T.... ....

    u mad son?

  31. d.... ....

    Once the draft kicks in from the selective service, I'm outta here.

  32. C.... ....

    Nope, fuck the troops too.

  33. M.... k....

    Beautiful music

  34. j.... ....

    @sargeantwelsh for sure, I saw my friend post blackwater also out of michigan sniping people. THey said that guy I think he has an rpg(wikileaks says that usually means camera).

  35. O.... ....

    Now i have Call Of Duty on the brain :P

  36. n.... ....

    i think cage wants to start shootin'

  37. E.... C....
