watch them there they go, stifled in a row   growing up in the age of calypso   waiting to be served, hanging by their nerves   playing dead in the age of calypso      once i get started, everyone gets carded   cash in on the corner before i'm carted away      smoking ancient dirt, with those special smirks   getting diseases and listening to disco   watch them, watch them go, don't let my eyes close   i'm growing up in the age of calypso      there have been no stars for weeks now   machines are in the back, conditioning the air here   i suppose im on your side, though first impressions   say i should be otherwise, yeah      we keep our shoes off the bed, in monument to my dread   there's no sin, there's no age, makes no difference   crush it in a vice, with dots on different dice   take a body count, its the age of calypso      once you get started, everyone gets carded   cash in on the corner before she's carted away      where's your star morale, weren't you born coraled   if you suffer death, its the age of calypso   and if i can make a whore, of the girl next door   maybe i can free her from the age of calypso      there have been no stars for weeks now   machines are in the back conditiong the air here   i suppose im on your side, though best intentions say   i should be otherways, yeah yeah yeah
