I've got a pocket full of pretty green I'm gonna put it in the fruit machine I'm gonna put it in the juke box It's gonna play all the records in the hit parade
I've got a pocket full of pretty green I'm gonna give it to the man behind the counter He's gonna give me food and water I'm gonna eat that and look for more
This is the pretty green, this is society You can't do nothing, unless it's in the pocket Oh, no
I've got a pocket full of pretty green I'm gonna put it in the fruit machine I'm gonna put it in the juke box It's gonna play all the records in the hit parade
This is the pretty green, this is society You can't do nothing, unless it's in the pocket Oh, no
And they didn't teach me that in school It's something that I learnt on my own That power is measured by the pound or the fist It's as clear as this
I've got a pocket full of pretty green I'm gonna put it in the fruit machine I'm gonna put it in the juke box It's gonna play all the records in the hit parade
I've got a pocket full of pretty green I'm gonna give it to the man behind the counter He's gonna give me food and water I'm gonna eat that and look for more
This is the pretty green, this is society You can't do nothing, unless it's in the pocket Oh, no
So unkind Saga, saga Let me be fair Saga, saga What's your point? It's a cruel doom You cut me up like a razor, razor
You're just limiting all the possibilities You're just limiting all the possibilities...
Just thought it through Saga, saga Twisted intent Saga, saga What's your problem? It's a no-rules school Why you cutting me like a razor, razor?
You're just limiting all the possibilities... You're just limiting all the possibilities...
Saga, saga, saga
You're just limiting all the possibilities... You're just limiting all the possibilities...
Just go and put down your knife Where the problem goes Tell 'em hold your fire It's a - eh eh eh eh eh eh
Saga, saga, saga
It's such a saga Such a saga, saga It's such a saga Such a saga, saga It's such a saga Such a saga, saga It's such a saga Such a saga, saga
You're just limiting all the possibilities... You're just limiting all the possibilities... You're just limiting all the possibilities... You're just limiting all the possibilities...

[ANDY SAMBERG] After the club is the after party After the party is the hotel lobby After that, you know it’s diamond Cris And after that, I say, “Excuse me, miss”
And after that, we goin’ back to the room And after that, she’s gonna leave real soon And after that, I crack one more beer And after that, I just stare in the mirror
And after that, I start freakin’ out What the hell am I doing with my life? Call up my mom and get my cry on I order room service, get my apple pie on
And after that, I just walk the streets A homeless dude throws up on my feet And I see just how pointless life is Full on existential crisis Tear off my clothes and scream at the sky Fall to my knees and ask God, “why?”
[SANTIGOLD] This nightlife is killing me I think I’m losing my mind I yearn to fly, yet I sink Stalling tears is my dream
[ANDY SAMBERG] After that, I drive into the hills And trade my car for a bottle of pills And after that, I’m on a vision quest Put my mind, body, and spirit to the test
And after that, I meet my totem spirit It’s a rattlesnake, so I have to kill it Then I drink all his blood and steal his powers Slither around in the dirt for hours
And after that I start jerking off Up on a mountain, jerking off Down by the river, jerking off And that’s when I have my epiphany You can’t spend your whole life jerking off And after that, I’m going back to the city
[SANTIGOLD] This nightlife is killing me No more jerking off Fate only knows what’s in store Stalling tears for me, no more
[ANDY SAMBERG] And after that, I clean up my life Join AA to make it right And after that, I get my thirty day chip And after that, I go sell a bit
And after that, I’m a whole new man Brew complimentary in my hybrid van I give my life to meditation Then sleep with a whore at a Greyhound station
And after that, I have a full relapse Then lose my hand in a game of craps And after that, everyone calls me Claw And after that, I work for Tim McGraw (Hey!)
And after that, I pass out in a sewer Meet a giant fish, fuck his brains out And after, that I’m filled with shame No one but myself to blame Nothing in my heart but pain And next week we’re gonna do it again!
[SANTIGOLD] This nightlife carves hooks in me I’m back to jerking off I tried but could not break free Stalling tears return to me
Started in the club Then he moved to the Hills Really freaked out and drank snake blood Got himself clean Now back in the club And that’s where I’ve been in this song
But it’s stalling tears This playboy life’s too much for me
[ANDY SAMBERG] After the club is the after party After the party is the hotel lobby Stuck in a cycle I just can’t win And after that, it all happens again
It's hot here gotta say it's so I got you right where I want Got an honest face so you turn your back When in doubt run up your attack
At one time you were slick and your grill was cold And now funny how the shit gets old You can run, you can run but it will catch up Like now see me, I'll show you up
Now you wanna get back when you had your shine But you run the same thing every time when you rhyme Can't stop won't stop no compromise It's a house of cards built out of lies
Coming down like a bird floating on the mist Turn on the track back track and twist You work hard to climb the list Twenty years of schooling and they put you on the day shift
I know the danger of a man (that's danger) Who's been to hell and back again (danger) Can't tell tomorrow from where he's been (that's danger) Don't play no game that I can't win (danger)
You're caught now by the skin you're in In a bind now your thoughts go to all your sins Hits much harder back better count on that I tell you what we know always holds us back
Now you mutter and you stutter and you putter don't stop I got in your heart and I shook you up In a bind now you're caught by the fear setting in Choked on the thought that you don't it again
Keep the competition in check You draft your plans at your drafting desk You try to play to win but now you lost Like clams with no tartar sauce
Wcheming in the attic, thought you had it So dramatic I got the stats mathematics, automatic-systematic She's super bad now, whatcha watcha want now?
I know the danger of a man (that's danger) Who's been to hell and back again (danger) Can't tell tomorrow from where he's been (that's danger) Don't play no game that I can't win (danger)
Don't play no game that I can't win (danger) Don't play no game that I can't win (that's danger) Don't play no game that I can't win (danger, danger) Don't play no game that I can't win (that's danger)
I know the danger of a man (that's danger) Who's been to hell and back again (danger) Can't tell tomorrow from where he's been (that's danger) Don't play no game that I can't win (danger)
Don't play no game that I can't win Don't play no game that I can't win
What I'm searching for to tell it straight, I'm trying to build a wall Walking by myself down avenues that reek of time to kill If you see me keep going be a pass by waver Build me up, bring me down just leave me out you name dropper Stop trying to catch my eye I see you good you forced faker Just make it easy You're my enemy you fast talker
Chorus: I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe
What am I here for I left my home to disappear is all I'm here for myself Not to know you I don't need no one else Fit in so good the hope is that you cannot see me later You don't know me I am an introvert an excavator I'm duckin' out for now a face in dodgy elevators Creep up and suddenly I found myself an innovator
Chorus.
Change, change, change, I want to get up out of my skin tell you what if I can shake it I'm 'a make this something worth dreaming of
