The Legend of Rip Venice Lyrics

[Chorus]

He's been smoking all day

Video games

Checking the waves

Cuz he wanted to

Wakes up late when he likes

Tequila and sprite

Girls stay the night

Cuz they wanted to

Some days I wish I could live like him

Some days I wish I never got out of bed

Cuz I wanted to

His mode

His call

Everybody wants to get it all

Making life decisions off

Projections from their ma and pa

Not him

That's rip

Maybe you should make that trip

Venice California is just waiting

For you to take a sip

He's everything you want to be

But don't admit to friends

He's everything you think about

When you've come to the end

With all the

Bullshit that they always

Try to send, do you ever think about

Getting out, we don't get to do this life again

All the shirts he wears were free

Half of those don't have sleeves

Half the reason he believes

In his path so peacefully

For a quarter century

He was told he must achieve

A certain place financially

So the people across the street

Could look at his family

At cocktail parties while they eat

And sip Grand Cru Chablis

And say oooh they raised a chief

But the Indian left the tribe

Found his own horse to ride

To California's western side

With a heart filled with pride

And a soul, as his guide

His arms, open wide

Good morning everybody

The prince of Venice has arrived
