He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
Drop! 2 Fast
Drop! 2 Furious
I'm too fast for y'all, man
Drop! 2 Fast
Drop! 2 Furious
Oh, I'm too fast for y'all, man
Ah, you just came home from doin' a bid
Tell me what you gon' do? Act a fool
Somebody broke in and cleaned out your crib
Boy what you gon' do? Act a fool
Just bought a new pair and they scuffed your shoes
Tell me what you gon' do? Act a fool
Now them cops tryna throw you in them county blues
Boy, what you gon' do? Act a fool
Talkin' about gats, traps, cops and robbers
It's 911, please call the doctor
Evacuate the building and trick the pigs
Since everybody want a piece, we gon' split ya wigs
See some fools slipped up and over-stepped they boundaries
You 'bout to catch a cold, stay the fuck from 'round me
Ya peeps talkin' 'bout "what kinda shits he on?"
You'll disappear like "poof, bitch be gone"
You think twelve gon' catch me? Gimme a break
I'm super-charged with the hide-away license plate
It seems they wanna finger print me and gimme some years
They'll only get one finger while I'm shifting gears
I got suede on my roof, wood grain on the dash
Sheep skin on the rug, Golden Grain in the stash
Hydraulics all around so I shake the ride
We go front, back and side to side, what?
Some punk just tripped up and made you spill your drink
Tell me what you gon' do? Act a fool
Now your car just stopped on a empty tank
Boy, what you gon' do? Act a fool
If you got late bills and you lost your job
Tell me what you gon' do? Act a fool
If you 'bout to get drunk and you ready to mob
Boy, what you gon' do? Act a fool
Let's take it to the streets 'cause I'm ready to cruise
Just bought me and my cars all some brand new shoes
And the people just stare so I love to park it
And I just put a computer in the glove compartment
With my pedal to the floor, radar in the grille
TV in the middle of my steering wheel
It's my car's birthday so we blowin' them candles
More speakers in the trunk than my ride can handle
Got my name in the headrest, read it and weep
NOS tank in the back, camel hair on the seat
And when I pull up to the club, I get all the affection
'Cause the women love the paint and they can see their reflection
I'm about to take off, so f what ya heard
Because my side mirrors flap like a fuckin' bird
And for the fools, we gon' clock one and we'll pop one
'Cause my folk ridin' shotgun with a shotgun
You just got hustled for a wad of cash
Man, what you gon' do? Act a fool
Now your friends just smoked up your brand new stash
Say what you gon' do? Act a fool
Now them girls up the block still runnin' they mouth
Boy, what you gon' do? Act a fool
If anybody talk bad 'bout the dirty south
Tell what I'm gon' do? Act a fool
I got my eyes wide shut and my trunk wide open
Did donuts last week and the streets still smoking
See, I'm off that anti-freeze and my car is tipsy
On the off-ramp doin' 'bout a hunnid and fifty
Rollin' through East Point, on way to Ben Hill
Slide a five to the junkie to clean my windshield
Got the whole crew ridin' and we startin' shit
I even got a trailer hitch with a barbecue pit
And now all you wanna do is get drunk and pout
Plus your new name is Fire 'cause we stomped you out
And yeah, we blow trees and v's that's fantastic
So girls hold your weave while I'm weaving through traffic
I kicked to fifth gear and tear the road apart
You'll be like lil' John Q and get a change of heart
It's one mission, two clips and some triple beams
I'm 'bout to blow this whole shit up to smithereens
The pot holes in the street just bent ya rims
Tell me what you gon' do? Act a fool
Man, that ain't sticky, that's sticks and stems
Boy, what you gon' do? Act a fool
Catch ya man with another bitch up in ya bed
Ladies, what you gon' do? Act a fool
If the bottles all gone and your eyes are red
Boy, what you gon' do? Act a fool

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Fortnight
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift
The song 'Fortnight' by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn't feel the same. The word 'fortnight' shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.
