about

This was probably the oddest track in the bunch. Merging a couple different recommended concepts, this ended up being based on the recommendation of using a genie to grant 3 wishes to go back to the past and beat up 3 historical figures. It also mentions how cool Shane Hall/MessiahCarey is.

Both Damn Selene (the originator of the idea) and MessiahCarey/Shane Hall, perform guest verses and drop vocals in the intro on this, it was probably my favorite to work on in the album, and that's NOT just because I only had to record one verse!

lyrics

[Steve Verse - Charlie Chaplin]

Hey Chaaarlie
If I might say pardon me
Is that a high school student there? Or wife 1, 2, or 3
Seems you and Clairs got a predilection for pubescent girls
See we traveled from the Modern Age to roast this swine among pearls
They ain’t your Property Man, The Kids a Dastardly scam
So I emphatically plan, to lay my hands upon you and do what I can
I got wrecking ball Shane Hall for this violent Circus
Knock that little Hitler mustache right off your face, to be of service
Brought Lean Mean Selene as a beat down companion
Knock your teeth out, not like you need to talk, from here all the way to Staton
Island, my friend, see I’m usually pro immigrant
But I used my wish to turn you from Millionaire to indigent
Take this Masquerador from easy street to living the Dog’s Life
Maybe next time don’t shop the schoolyard to find your next wife
And as you lay there shattered, knocked out, busted and beaten
This pedophile fades to silence, besides, we’ve got Buster Keaton

[Chorus]

We gonna beat up, we gonna fuck em up right
Cause Selene, Steve and Shane, we all get our wish tonight
Don’t give a shit about their history, it ain’t a fucking mystery
Great men of the past are all fucking scum and villany
We gonna beat up, we gonna fuck em up right
Cause Selene, Steve and Shane, we all get our wish tonight
Sure they made it to greatness, but behind those faces
They did some bitch made shit, so we gonna make this right

[Selene Verse - Mahatma Gandhi]

IS THIS YOUR MAHATMA? I’m properly revolted
that this fash loving woman hating racist creep’s exalted
This assault’ll knock the rest your molars out your mouth, Mohandas
And I’ll tell you that is less a threat than it is a promise

I’m astonished history has held a positive perspective through
your grandniece’s account that told the world how she had slept with you
like other teens you’d bring into your bed, bath and latrine
I’ll bring a head bash atcha faster than you had trashed Bhagat Singh

See, I am Jack’s complete lack of sympathy concerning
leaving victim blaming cult leaders limping badly hurting
It’s disturbing how you left Kasturba dying from infection
for the principles you soon would drop to cure your own afflictions

Flick a switch and I’m there swinging, buddy. Reared and here to fight
The great MessiahCarey on my left, and Steve upon my right
Write your “dear friend” Adolph, how your constipation’s through
cause this time traveling crew had beat that shit right out of you

[Chorus]

We gonna beat up, we gonna fuck em up right
Cause Selene, Steve and Shane, we all get our wish tonight
Don’t give a shit about their history, it ain’t a fucking mystery
Great men of the past are all fucking scum and villany
We gonna beat up, we gonna fuck em up right
Cause Selene, Steve and Shane, we all get our wish tonight
Sure they made it to greatness, but behind those faces
They did some bitch made shit, so we gonna make this right

[MessiahCarey aka Shane Hall - John Winston Lennon]

Imagine - if there was no john lennon
No tamed rebellion distilled into a weapon
Got a confession that I guess it’s time to mention
Your sacred cows can fuck off, they get no honorable mentions
they are often wrong to invest in
Harbingers of oppression volatile with aggression
Especially this son of a bootlicker John Winston
unpopular opinion; the dead do not Listen
If I could pass through 4 of the dimensions with some sort of invention
I would do more than just mention your sordid intentions
handed a pallet with a handful of talent
erratic with malice, domestically havok
You talk talk talk about wanting peace in your life,
While you’re beating your son and beating your wife
Should put hands around your throat while I squeeze real tight
You abusive mother fucker now "how do you sleep at night?"

[Chorus]

We gonna beat up, we gonna fuck em up right
Cause Selene, Steve and Shane, we all get our wish tonight
Don’t give a shit about their history, it ain’t a fucking mystery
Great men of the past are all fucking scum and villany
We gonna beat up, we gonna fuck em up right
Cause Selene, Steve and Shane, we all get our wish tonight
Sure they made it to greatness, but behind those faces
They did some bitch made shit, so we gonna make this right
