The Legend of Ruben

He was a crazy man with no shame on his brain
But everyone loved him even though he was insane
Eternal trip that he was on
Made sure his mind was always gone
Fried his brain accidentally
Now he sees everything mentally
Sweetest man that you could know
But when he went crazy it was quite a show
He liked to ride his bike and talk
To his imaginary friends
It was like schizophrenia all over again
We called him
Ruben the Cuban
Even though he was a mexican
Ruben the Cuban
Man, I wish we could see him again
He walked around this city
What a pity
He didn't have a car nor a house nor a phone
He walked around this town alone
No place to call his home
But everyone he met, they all loved him
Even though his hallucinations did quite stun them
He liked to talk to statues a lot
And right around here is the spot
Where I saw him for the first time
We called him
Ruben the Cuban
Even though he was a mexican
Ruben the Cuban
Man, I wish we could see him again
But now he's gone
He died in the most peculiar way
He jumped right in front of
A bloody freight train
Freight train
Whoa Ruben
Dear Ruben
You will truly be missed
You'll surely never
Meet a man quite like this
I guess we'll never know
How exactly that he got hit
Coulda just been suicide
Or maybe he didn't notice it
Because he's
Ruben the Cuban
Even though he was a mexican
Ruben the Cuban
Man, I wish we could see him again

Dude man you're really shy but
All ya gotta say is nice to meet ya
And try not to get your face so red
I can see that you're super fly and
All the ladies'll be glad to greet ya
But ya gotta be relaxed and cool
And let them come to you
Not chewing on your past mistakes
And the things ya rue
'Cause if you're chronically
Basking in your sorrow
It doesn't look good
For your hope tomorrow
Why can't you just get along and
Be chill and don't get excited
Your negativity doesn't get you anywhere
There's a party of happy songs but
You decided to not be invited
Its your own choice that you're not there
But ya gotta be wide eyed and clear
And not looking in the rearview mirror
Can't be choking on your fear
Just find the one you can hold dear
'Cause if you're chronically
Basking in your sorrow
It doesn't look good
For your hope tomorrow
You need to translate your dreams
To find out what they mean
I hope you find your life before you die
I hope you can redeem your dreams
Pie in the sky
'Cause if you're chronically
Basking in your sorrow
It doesn't look good
For your hope tomorrow
'Cause if you're chronically
Basking in your sorrow
It doesn't look good
For your hope tomorrow

If I do what you say
I might turn into a robot
And if I do things your way
My cerebellum's gonna rot
And if my mind turns on a dime
My life can't kick into action
You're taking away all my time
Pretty soon I'll have no reaction
Not gonna do what you're telling me
I'm not intrigued by your BS degree
So won't you please just stand aside
Unlike you I won't let my life pass me by
Hey man relax don't jump on me
Your speech means nothing to me obviously
So why don't you just go suck a lemon
Your opinion will never get through my big fat melon
So please please just stand aside
You lost my vote the last time you lied
The feeling that I can't only makes me want it more
So scream in my ear as I walk out the door
Not gonna do what you're telling me
I don't concur in fact I disagree
So won't you please just stand aside
Unlike you I won't let my life pass me by
What's fresh on your mind
I think about it all the time
Its summer there's no bummer
Let's get dumber and feel alive
Let's recycle all our clocks
So baby there's no time wasted
I spit out age
The last time that I tasted
And I'm
Not gonna do what you're telling me
I'm not intrigued by your BS degree
So won't you please just stand aside
Unlike you I won't let my life pass me
Not gonna do what you're telling me
I don't concur in fact I disagree
So won't you please just stand aside
Unlike you I won't let my life pass me by
I've got this fear inside of me
'Cause I wanna stay here and be free
But let's enjoy our memories
And look forward to our future
In times like these we'll make mistakes
Yes there's gonna be a few sure
But we gotta prepare
So don't you dare worry 'bout a thing
