On Sesame Street Things done
got wild Big birds cooking meth
with a crazed out smile Elmo's
in the alley Chopping lines so
fine Snorting up that cocaine
Losing track of time they used
to teach us letters now they're
teaching sin My kids watch this
show Lord, where do I begin? Big
bird got a lad up in his nest up
high Whipping up that crystal
Feathers floating in the sky
Elmo's eyes are bugging he's
tweaking on the street Dancing
with a pipe Yelling tickle this,
you freak says some.
(Bridge)
Whispers in the dark, secrets never told,
Childhood’s sold for silver, dreams bought and sold.
Behind the painted smiles, the truth’s a broken rhyme,
Sesame’s lost forever, caught in the grime.
Chorus:
Welcome to the block where the smiles fade away,
Where the kids learn pain instead of ABCs today.
Tickle this, you freak, in the city’s dark embrace,
Sesame’s lost its soul, just a twisted place.
(Verse)
Bert’s got the weight, trapped inside his mind,
Ernie’s lost the laughter, left it all behind.
Puppets on a stage, but the strings are snapped tight,
In this broken playground, nothing feels right.
Chorus:
Welcome to the block where the smiles fade away,
Where the kids learn pain instead of ABCs today.
Tickle this, you freak, in the city’s dark embrace,
Sesame’s lost its soul, just a twisted place.
(Verse)
Big Bird’s wings are heavy, can’t fly no more,
The colors fade to gray on this cracked-up floor.
Once a place of magic, now a battleground,
Where innocence is lost and silence is the sound.
(Final)
So here’s the tale from the streets once bright,
Now swallowed by shadows, lost in the night.
Sesame’s story, a cautionary song,
Where the light once lived, now it’s all gone wrong.
