The Roommate from Hell (feat. MC Chris) Lyrics
[intro, MC Nate]
hey, welcome to Mirrielees orientation
my name's Nate and I'll be your RA for this year
today we'll be moving into our dorms and building community
so go get your keys from the main office
come back,and get ready to meet your roommates
alright?
(alright alright alright)
He was the roommate from hell
He was the roommate from hell
[verse 1, MC Lars]
Satan was my roommate, so junior year was hell
he lacked social skills and had a pudgent smell
when your roommate is the devil it can be extremely wack
putting posters on the wall of Trapt and Nickelback
until the break of dawn he'd be mutilating sheep
it's 4 A.M. Satan, can you please go to sleep?
I can't have girls over when the dorm smells like Sterno
when did room 56 become Dante's Inferno?
he likes death and destruction, I like radio and art
he likes holding down Christians and reading Jean-Paul Sartre
while I'm going class, studying my notes
he's eating baby fetuses and sacrificing goats
he tricks the freshmen girls into eating apples
holding black masses down at the campus chapel
should of never moved in (but no) wished I were dead
should of found a place off campus on Craig's List instead
[chorus]
he was the roommate from hell
his name was Lucifier
someone call a priest
and bring the crucifer
he was the roommate from hell
leaves his pitchfork in my bed
I'm in a satanic panic
cuz he is messing with my head
[repeat chorus]
(yo)
(wut)
(pass that giant balloon of helium over here yo)
(okay, but wait... Satan, that's too much!)
[verse 2, mcchris]
boy you need a bitch slap, not my fault we're mismatched
you geek out over Beakman's World, I dig on World of Witchcraft
you thinkin' that I'm riff-raff, huffin' on a dishrag
I am just a player, play Slayer then I kick back
I know I reek of sulfur, leave the shower curtain open
I come home drunk, make crank calls to Queens and then Hoboken
but college is like Salem, all these bitches be so smokin'
if you're thinkin' that I'm leavin' then I'm thinkin' that you're jokin'
I gotta share my bunk with this post-punk chump
calls this place a dump, says "you've been through all my stuff"
"I wish you'd go to hell", I say "hey that's where I'm from"
blast Death Cab and Devo, he's too emo to get crunk
I was a very nice boss down in Paradise Lost
I have very nice bling cuz my minions mind floss
to hell with college, this is knowledge at a very high cost
gotta go do some blow with that ho Kate Moss
[repeat chorus]
[outro, mcchris]
Lars you're causing laughter
when you call yourself a rapper dude
how many Dead Milkman are there named after you?
I always got beer, I always got weed
best roommate ever if you ever asked me

Haha This song is legendary. How can no one have reviewed it yet?
"but college is like Salem, all these bitches be so smokin'"
Beautiful.
I love this song. "blasts death cab and devo, he's to emo to get crunk". and the images of satan hanging up mainstream rock posters is priceless.
I listened to this song in my car on random on a road trip and fell in love, but could never quite understand the part before mc chris came in... listened on my ipod today and heard the "giant helium balloon" part... brilliant
I actually first heard about MC Lars through someone I know on an Internet forum who did a brilliant remix of this track (http://www.myspace.com/scuzzy89music, if you're interested... sorry if this isn't allowed).
This song is really amusing
HAHA - Satan becomes MC Chris when he swallows helium! XD
was always a big mcchris fan and later (independently) got into MC Lars, you couldn't imagine how excited i was for this song. "pass that giant balloon of helium over here"
as for song meaning, it kinda shows two different perspectives to a conflict between two people. both think that the other one is being unreasonable.
