I bought a Tascam reel and a cast iron pan

A flask of Tequila, a fountain pen

Rode the F train just to see Second Avenue

Where the bath house was bumpin' the dubstep blues

Swinging!

They're sipping cane sugar sodas and top shelf booze

Mix Ralph Lauren togas with thrift-shop shoes

Meeting 9 to 5 quotas with a-nothin' to lose

I showed up to the alley with my tin pan
Ab Eb Ab Eb
With a middle finger stickin' up to the man

But the miners in the alley traded tin pans

For the Silicon Valley and a business plan
Ab Db
So I tattooed my face onto my hand

And unto my own image I built a brand

Now as soon as I have a million faceless fans

That's when I'mma start movin' those cheap head bands
