I knew this boy, his name was Nico
At school he spoke little, I thought he was cool
One morning I was going to the bank with mom
And I saw Nico enter and put on his balaclava
"Good morning people, this is a robbery
I am the last person you will see in your life
Unless you put your face to the ground like a dog
And it will all be quick and painless like a quickie
Leave your wallets on the ground
Along with gold and necklaces, I love all that shit
And if anyone thinks they're a hero or a Jedi knight
I'll make them crawl for the rest of their life like a millipede
Now I'll pass slowly, did you see?
Be good little dogs, nothing will happen
You are obedient, you little bastards
Whoever has money and doesn't use it is a thief, Gandhi said so
Now I want to talk to the manager! Yesyesyes I want to talk to him
Unless he wants to leave his son alone, alone
With his poor wife crying with him
Hello manager, my name is Nico
It's a pleasure to meet people who do their job
I wanted to tell you that I really despise you
And that your daughter is a bitch, she would be good with a blind man
But let's talk business, yes, let's talk business
You are now my slave, obey or I shoot
If you come back without having emptied the fucking tills
Your head will explode and I'll do a Van Basten overhead kick"

I chose evil because good was banal
God gave me an easy to handle gun
Maybe some people have to pay
Maybe I'm not afraid to shoot
And probably it won't help at all
I understand it by myself, I consider myself intelligent
But I hear these voices and I get these obsessions
A day in the life of Nico, Ulysses

Are you bleeding star? You don't make anyone feel sorry
Want to know why I smoke, why I fast?
Want to see the video of a bullied child online?
Want to know what the Columbine guys were thinking?
Want to know? You don't want to know, but I speak
You're lucky, they don't pay me to do it
I am a worm, an armed talking cricket
And now say goodbye to your tanned friends from Monte Carlo
Want to know why people have no more ideas?
It's because they want it that way
And you know what's funny?
It's that I'm talking about them, the question is "them who?"
Why am I here? To experience violence
On your skin, because civilization is decadence
And this is just an act of intellectual freedom
Freedom is telling people what they don't want to hear
And before I came in, I called the guards
I have to do everything myself, even a shooting
And do you remember that fagot Andy Warhol?
Fifteen minutes and we make history!"

God protect my enemies who need it
Every day I will be bigger, don't stop the dream
Just give me the strength to steal an iris
Because whoever is winning now will seem invincible
I made this record just to eat you in the face
And my name is so big that even saying it is a threat
I throw gold in the water and fuck fame
I die loving the system but the system also loves me

I chose evil because good was banal
God gave me an easy to handle gun
Maybe some people have to pay
Maybe I'm not afraid to shoot
And probably it won't help at all
I understand it by myself, I consider myself intelligent
But I hear these voices and I get these obsessions
A day in the life of Nico, Ulysses
