Just Reward - Joint Chiefs
(© 1994 Pushkin, Ramey)

I think we've run the course
Just as dictated
By the ancient tabloid
Our sources thought outdated
When I scream the end is near
Hope you know that I ain't just braggin
Cause we're all handcuffed together
In the same damn paddywagon

Ridin out the end of the millenium
Ridin out the end of the millenium

All night I lay awake
I can't sleep although I try to
Had as much as I can take
But my mind can't sleep when I do
Quakes storms disease and war
Famine floods and riot
As the blood pours more and more
It's time to wield a big stick and walk quiet

Ridin out the end of the millenium
Ridin out the end of the millenium
Martians finally got those messages we been sendin 'em
Ridin out the end of the millenium

I think it's time we rock
In the cradles that we make
Believe me when I tell you that
The bough's about to break
Time to dig a hole
It's time to pray for better weather
Not a soul left to console
Cause we're all speedin down hell together

Ridin out the end of the millenium
Ridin out the end of the millenium
Monkey finally learned those lessons we been trainin him
Ridin out the end of the millenium

Monkey finally learned those lessons we been trainin him
Our methods seem to increase the radius of his cranium
Slip him out to the street to sling uranium
But we're just ridin out the end of the millenium

Puppy puked the gunpowder I been givin him
He's still sore about the poodles that ain't sniffin him
Maybe baby shouldn't roped him up and ridden him
But she was ridin out the end of the millenium

Born into troubled times
We're forced to do our best
Keep a head above it all
Keep a heartbeat in your chest
You may leave your precious search
The wild wild world for fortune and fame
But we're all gonna look the same
When the downbound train goes up in flames

Ridin out the end of the millenium
Ridin out the end of the millenium
We've received the grief that you've been sendin 'em
Ridin out the end of the millenium

I know Jehovah passed it over onto Buddha
But Buddha's bodhi tried to sue the Lion of Judah
I seize the breeze that freezes Jesus Christ and Jah
And I sense the tension between Krishna and Allah
Well you know this day been comin for a while
Don't burn before we pass the last turnstile
I hear the porter snortin all aboard
Destination noplace, just reward

Destination noplace, just reward
Destination noplace, just reward
Destination noplace, just reward
Destination noplace, just reward
