Hasta la vista, baby


It's ancient Greece
It's ancient Greece
I'm eating grapes, at the Parthenon
I'm eating grapes at the Parthenon
Watching lions eat prisoners at the Colosseum
Watching lions eat prisoners at the Colosseum
I'm fucking bored, at the vomitorium
I'm fucking bored at the vomitorium
Waiting to catch my flight
Waiting to catch my flight
I got my backpack, I got blueberry scones
I got my backpack, I got blueberry scones

I'm Drew Bledsoe, I got an afro
I'm Drew Bledsoe(?) I got an afro
I got my head up in a mask
I got my head up in a mask
I'm like a ninja, I got my nunchucks
I'm like a ninja, I got my nunchuks
And I've been training like a seal so I won't give a fuck
And I've been training like a seal
So I won't give a fuck
I'm like Caesar
I'm like Caesar
You can stab me in the back
You could stab me in the back
Pour my blood on your salad
Pour my blood on your salad
I'm like a senator
I'm like a senator
Treat my dickstick, maids, and turns prostitutes
Tweet my dick, stick(?) maids, interns, prostitutes
And then my wife
And then my wife
Oh, I love my life
Oh, I love my life
They got the best of me
They got the best of me


The best of me
The best of me, the best of me
The best of me
They got the best of me
They got the best of me
 
The best of me, the best of me
The best of me
The best of me
They got the best of me
They got the best of me

I could buy a million dollars
I could buy, a million dollars
If I had a million dollars I could spare
If I had a million dollars I could spare
I'd take a class, on how to take a class
At the gym, I'd run for hours
And when it's over, I'll just be glad that I pass
And I would not have to go out anywhere
Pass the class (pass some gas)
I'd take a class on how to take a class
And when it's over, I'd just be glad that I pass
Pass the class
Pass some gas


Got the best of me
Got the best of me
The best of me  
The best of me, the best of me, motherfuckers
The best of me
(Motherfuckers)
Got the best of me
Got the best of me
 
The best of me, the best of me
The best of me
The best of me
They got the best of me
 
(Got the best of, got the best, got the best of me)

It's ancient Greece
I'm eating grapes, at the Parthenon
Watching lions eat prisoners at the Colosseum
I'm fucking bored, at the vomitorium
Waiting to catch my flight
I got my backpack, I got blueberry scones
I got my noise-cancellation headphones
And I'm off to the Hyatt Regency
This is a load of crap
I said "Another fucking Hyatt Regency?"
They got the best of me
They got the best of me
