Lyric video by Lenore Melo
Salome Hajj played harp
Barry Fowler played violin
Good morning fellow losers
Good morning fellow scholars
Do you like making money?
Do you like being weird?
An emergency contact
A text from your mom
A generation gap year with a certain je ne sais quois
Good morning fellow perverts
Good morning middle spoons
Do you think it’s over?
It really seems like it’s over
Do you want to argue?
I don’t want to argue
We should donate all our money to um
Something. Something good
There are problems with the wind
But the wind is gone
There are issues at the plant
The workers can’t carry on
If you need a sign, you can bang my line
Dial 999-9999
The bygones are gone
But what’s gone is not forgotten
There are issues at the plant
And the foreman cannot solve 'em
If you need a sign, you can bang my line
Dial 999-9999
Behold the marble gods
Behold the golden statues
Behold the piece of birthday cake the size of Lincoln’s shoe
Now close your tab
Close all your tabs
You have reached the end of reading
Behold the mansions
Behold the Tesla McDonald’s
Behold the ketchup. The other other red meat.
And that concludes my prepared remarks
I will now be taking questions

Cigarettes can kill you
But if they don’t they make you stronger
You could have cut the six-pack rings
But you were out back wasting water
You were no good with a big knife
Yeah, you always cut your fingers
And me, I don't believe the dream, or whatever
But the scars from that still linger
Are you living lo-fi
Are you living in a mess you made
Are you saving money crashing at the practice space
Are you saving cigarette butts out of stale ash trays
Ahhhhhhhhhh
Are you living lo-fi
Are you living with some chronic pain
Are you using frozen food as medical first aid
Are you calling total bullshit on the welfare state
Ahhhhhhhhhh
Now David was a murderer
Who had a problem with the tall
And as somebody who’s tall
You find the whole thing quite offensive
And now you feel you must take umbrage
With an Old Testament story
And me, I have not read the book, or whatever
But you tell me that it’s boring
Are you living lo-fi
Are you living in a mess you made
Are you saving money crashing at the practice space
Are you saving cigarette butts out of stale ash trays
Ahhhhhhhhhh
Are you living lo-fi
Are you living with some chronic pain
Are you using frozen food as medical first aid
Are you calling total bullshit on the welfare state
Ahhhhhhhhhh
Now I want every man, woman and child
And those who do not identify as a man or a woman or a child
To look to the person right next to you:
The person next to you is the coolest person
At their job
They always get everyone
A very thoughtful birthday present
They always say “good morning” in the morning
But not in a weird way
In a caring way
That almost everyone can appreciate
They are the most admired person
But not in a better-than-everyone type of way
In a being-a-good-person type of way
And they are sleeping on a mattress
Without a bed frame

Lyric video by Lenore Melo
Always being honest
Never break a promise
Pain that isn’t chronic
Alpaca is a llama
Do you prefer a
Contradiction
Or do you like
An affirmation
I am in a van and I’m surveilling the FBI
Are the stakes too high?
I am barely human. I am mostly just some guy.
Are the stakes too high?
I never liked the monoculture
It never spoke to me
I like my little echo chamber
I’m late night TV
You’re must see
You’re an independent movie
And you’re a little hard to follow
And I can only turn you on
If I want to get confused
You are a grey and grainy scene
You are not big on dialogue
And I can only turn you on
If I want to get confused
Here on the sticky art house floor
You have a weird love language
And it’s hard to read
Even with the subtitles on
You’re an independent movie
And you’re so hard to follow
And I can only turn you on
If I want to get confused
Always being modest
Can’t accept a comment
Not an aesthetician
Do not fuck with the vision
Do you prefer a
Light distraction
Or do you like a
Bit of action?
Brother did you know that Tame Impala is just one guy?
Are the stakes too high?
I am mostly human and the rest is classified
Are the stakes too high?

Yeah
Guess who?
Fear of darkness
Is nothing to twinkle in eye
Cheekface bumpin' in my stereo
Car, gravity defying,
Flying,
Fine!
The clouds and my wheels now intertwined
Here’s the steps on how I got this hoopty up here in the sky
One
Create a scheme, so tied to what you seen
Those around stare in marvel
Thinkin' it’s all a dream
Step two
Have them come with you, you’ll need 'em to survive
Step three
Tear it down, wasn't meant to keep us all alive
Takin' aim at the

Lyric video by Lenore Melo
Will you eat the liminal cake?
A single slice on a white paper plate
Besides a bag of plastic forks
Beyond the sell by date
Will you watch the sports TVs?
The glowing wall with a blinding degree
Of balls and chains
Of turf and dirt
A knife to hold and squeeze
You like the good type of drone
I like the bad type of drone
We are two cute little perverts
With a heart made of gold
Treat me like your content baby
Treat me like your content baby
Treat me like your content
I want to be your content
Treat me like your content baby
You have my consent to share me
Treat me like your content
I want to be your content
Will you sip the Red Solo cup?
A sip of this, it will fix you right up
I read online, good things take time
You only get to drink once
Will you wear the shirt with a stain?
The airbrush mall kiosk asked me your name
A dream come true
The middle spoon
The art, the mat, the frame
You wear a long, long chain on your parachute pants
I got a piercing constellation that looks like a pentagram
Let me be your content baby
Let me be your content baby
Let me be your content
I want to be your content
Let me be your content baby
You have my consent to share me
Let me be your content
I want to be your content
The cops and the trash truck took your every last possession
Then you swatted my apartment 'cause I love the attention

Bro
Did you know
That the lawn
Is a bourgeois signifier
Of wealth and leisure?
The ground should not be green
The ground should be brown
And we’re here to take a stand against it
Baby’s in Vegas with a surgical gown
Putting all his poker chips on red, black and brown
Touching every lid at the coffee cafe
Taking every token that a toker can take
Some will wash the chicken and the others will not
I have no opinion baby, you are the boss
Running towards the bus stop with two drinks and a tote
Online influencer says he’s not gonna vote
It’s a rude world
It’s a rude rude world
It’s a rude world
Bro
Did you know
That the globe
Does not have an east or west
It’s just a sphere
The map should not be flat
The map's an orange peel

Lyric video by Lenore Melo
JER played trumpet and trombone
Are you sick of my shit yet
Mr. Negative Test?
When I open my mouth
And the ice cream truck jingle comes out
Let’s get ripped
Let’s get swole
Let’s get shredded
Then go home
A time to speak
A time to scream
But we still need to get to the dream
When you said your dream came true
I did not know what you mean
I don’t dream
I can tell from your accent
That you never once lied
That you only see bright lines
And you’re on the right side
Let’s get coffee
Let’s get foam
Let’s get nervous
Then go home
A time to reap
A time to clean
But we still need to get to the dream

Lyric video by Lenore Melo
Barry Fowler played violin and viola
Not a lot of money
Not a lot of fun
Not setting any records for time spent moving on
Urgent care to Sweetgreen
Sweetgreen to urgent care
PAs to roll the lint off
RNs to comb my hair
I love a re-run
I love a re-run
I love a re-run
I know what’s gonna happen
Bro it’s parasocial
Bro it sounds grotesque
Bro this arc is crazy
Bro it’s Kafkaesque
Being dead is simple
But grief leaks into life
The E’s for entertainment
The H for Jesus Christ

Lyric video by Lenore Melo
What would you do if the cabin pressure changed?
Would you put on the mask or would you just … let it ride?
Can I get a show of hands if you’re feeling discomfort
But not if the discomfort is in your hand or your arm or your shoulder
I always considered myself a courageous free-thinker
Until it was my turn to eat the silica gel packets
Despite all my haters, I am still just a rat
And a caterer
That’s off limits
You can’t touch it
That’s off limits
You can’t touch it
Growth sucks
And makes you worse
You gotta stay close to the one you were
Someone tell the pilot to turn off the light
I want out of my seat, I need to get up and pee
If you used to love me you’ll still love me
If you’ve always hated me not that much has changed
But if we used to be friends till you got sick of my shit well
I’ve done a lot of work on myself
You’d be surprised, you might like it
So ……why not let me be your soy boy?
I’m getting kinda desperate…

sloganeering at the disco
kindness is laughter or whatever
you've got an expert reputation and everyone is looking up to you
did you enjoy the novelty and then move on?
I, of course, love that for you
what are you moving on to?
I like learning just not the hard way, play it again
you like playing your life on hard mode, play it again
a little friendly competition is healthy as long as I win
it's just something I learned the hard way
play it again play it again play it again
you built the future of tomorrow
and then it hit you like a hard thing:
the crosswalk button never crosses
the squeaky grease will get the wheel
who's following who? who's following who?
were you following me?
thought I was following you ...

the market is flooded with people like me
in a passenger van, with a pine-scented tree
who cannot do a kickflip
and are not on TV
and who aren't really vegan or cruelty free
now nature is scenic, the views are serene
now nature is dusty and rumors are true
and we love dust because it is so cool
so of course we can't wait to be it
(dust i mean, not cool)
we are living the dream in a room full of flies
and we look out of place in a space out of time
there's a buzz in our heads and the insects replied
"we were doing a bit for our whole frickin' life"
we are living the dream in a room full of flies
but now we have to leave cause they gave us the light
there is chocolate and cheese, there are too many guys
we are living the dream in a room full of flies
the market is flooded with people like me
and our value is plummeting, now we're worthless and free
the poem's out of order
the colors start to bleed
the money isn't vegan or cruelty free
the market is flooded with people like me
who sacrificed our common sense for grudges of no consequence
who walked out of the library with two copies of Meat
then we posted on IG and shoplifted in solidarity
we are living the dream in a room full of flies
and we look out of place in a space out of time
there's a buzz in our heads and the insects replied

Lyric video by Lenore Melo
Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance
It's just the beginning
A new day is rising
Documentary directors follow me around, and I'm wiggling
I'm wiggling
I'm wiggling
Please rise and remove your hats and jackets and wallets
And stop flirting with the interns in the break room
In the break room
In the break room of life
People definitely let you down
I'm people, I will let you down
Let you down
Congratulations
People definitely let you down
I'm people, and I will let you down
Let you down
Congratulations
Please find your seats with your drinks and your programs
The opposite of every day is Opposite Day
And Opposite Day is just Christmas for opposites
Christmas for opposites
Please silence your devices and refrain
From taking a journey of self-discovery
We are going somewhere uncomfortable
And having an uncomfortable time
Uncomfortably, but just in time

Lyric vid by Lenore Melo
One job, two job, three job, four
I lit the salt lamp and put the mattress on the floor
Getting one day older like every day
And all of my stocks went down, down, down
Make a vulgar gesture at the place I used to work
From the sacred parking space that's in front of the church
I was drinking tap water from little glass jars
And all of my stocks went down, down, down
Hearts can't talk, they just thump
Red Vines, baby
Live laugh love
Bands bands bands
Might as well jump
Hearts can't talk, they just thump
Honor roll school, it's a cakewalk.
Nothing fun is cool, it's a cakewalk.
Just unpleasant pain, it's a cakewalk.
Visible from space, it's a cakewalk.
Daily medication, it's a cakewalk.
Taking it with cheese, it's a cakewalk.
I'm a teenage edgelord, it's a cakewalk.
Free Bitcoin, it's a cakewalk.
Five jobs, six jobs, seven jobs, eight
You can always count on me for a useless cliche
Getting coffee from a coffee place that's just OK
And all of my stocks went down, down, down
President of people who shower before work
Do you really wanna see me when I wear a collared shirt?
Paying $175 for exactly three sticks
And all of my stocks went down, down, down
Honor roll school, it's a cakewalk.
Nothing fun is cool, it's a cakewalk.
Just unpleasant pain, it's a cakewalk.
Visible from space, it's a cakewalk.
Daily medication, it's a cakewalk.
Taking it with cheese, it's a cakewalk.
I'm a teenage edgelord, it's a cakewalk.
Free Bitcoin, it's a cakewalk.
It's a cakewalk. Yeah.
It's a cakewalk. Yeah.
It's a cakewalk. Yeah.
It's a cakewalk. Yeah.

Lyric video by Lenore Melo
Another day
Another shirt
I never sleep
I only work
Where do I park
Where do I park
Don't ask me if I'm having fun, I am not
I'm only working part time at the record shop
And my friends all call me Mr. Chocolate Croissant
And the weeks and the months pass, and nothing happens
I'm gonna sit up straight and chew
I hope you get the job, or not. Whatever you prefer.
Go pet the dog, or not. Whatever you prefer.
Go make new friends, or don't. Whatever you prefer.
Gravity keeps pulling down on you either way.
Another shoe
Another service
A length of tape
A higher purpose
I took a test for purity
I got the results and they were negative
Now everybody's dog is going out for a walk
And the voters write in "Mr. Chocolate Croissant"
And the weeks and the months pass, and nothing happens
Good game good game good game good game
I hope you get the job, or not. Whatever you prefer.
Go pet the dog, or not. Whatever you prefer.
Go make new friends, or don't. Whatever you prefer.
Or find true love ...
I hope you get the raise, or not. Whatever you prefer.
Go cut your hair, or don't. Whatever you prefer.
Go make new friends, or not. Whatever you prefer.
Gravity keeps pulling down on you either way.

Lyric video by Lenore Melo
Hey man
Is today your real birthday?
In the city where you were born
Have they designated today your day?
Hey man
Everybody wants to ruin the world
Every mom is calling up just to talk
I read the news and it was bad, in my opinion
We found your social security on the dark web
We found your social security on the dark web
We found your social security on the dark web
And we used to open your email
And your email said
Everybody looks familiar
I’m waking up again and again
I threw chum in the ocean and the chum swam back
The currents are recurrent events
Everybody’s here for the first time
Reducing their emissions with death
Because they heard it in a podcast and it changed their minds
The currents are recurrent events
They are recurrent events
Shift change
You are going from the cradle to grave
Then heading back from the tomb to the womb
From grade school to grad school
Shift change
From Easy Mac to Big Mac
From anecdote to irrelevant quote
To laughing your ass off at your own joke!
We found your social security on the dark web
We found your social security on the dark web
We found your social security on the dark web
And we used to open your email
And your email said
Everybody looks familiar
I’m waking up again and again
I threw chum in the ocean and the chum swam back
The currents are recurrent events
Everybody’s here for the first time
Reducing their emissions with death
Because they heard it in a podcast and it changed their minds
The currents are recurrent events
They are recurrent events

Lyric video by Lenore Melo
Here comes a sermon on forgiveness
Here comes another hill for you to climb
You’re a special guy, you have lots of talents
You should wear a seatbelt, it could save your life
We hum through our days of constant striving
And everybody seems to hum in time
The lies come for free
The truth’s behind a pay wall
For a dollar ninety nine
Every time I try
I lose track
I don’t text back
And they say don’t stop believing
But it’s just too late for that
I think it’s just too late for that
Everyone cool will die
Everyone weird will also die
What lives on is the destruction
Caused by market economics
Being unique does not fit neatly into the grid of corporate needs
Still I work like a dog doing a dog’s day’s work
And who could blame me? I live in a society
Every time I try
I lose track
I don’t text back
And they say don’t stop believing
But it’s just too late for that
I think it’s just too late for that

Lyric video by Lenore Melo
I love Mess
Mess loves me
Me and Mess are trying on contemporary jeans
Mess is an authority on current events
And we are not that jealous of our former college friends
Whose careers are going great
And their bands are blowing up
And their coffee overfloweth from their thrifted coffee mug
We are radically transparent as transparent can be
We are reading you the screenplay of our new wave masterpiece
Thrifting from the sand
Thrifting from the bank
Dispassionately vaping while I water the plants
I am continuing to do my thing
I am continuing to do my thing
I am continuing to do my thing
I am continuing to do my thing
I love Mess
Mess loves me
Me and Mess are rooting on the trophy winning teams
We are leaving fingerprints wherever we go
We are running over road signs on the side of the road
People are yelling
“Hey I’m walking here!”
But if you steal a cop car you will never get pulled over
And Jeff Bezos put a hit out
Bought insurance on our lives
And he’ll probably use the profits to build server farms for ICE
Waxing in Atlanta
Waning in Wisconsin
Vaping in the parking lot with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
I am continuing to do my thing
I am continuing to do my thing
I am continuing to do my thing
I am continuing to do my thing

I saw you at the pharmacy
I wanna survive as your faded memory
Heaven is just wiggly air
And I’m alive now
Heaven is just wiggly air
And I’m alive now
Up and to the right
Up and to the right
Are there too many dudes in the kitchen?
Ooh!
Mentally I'll
Mentally I'll
Mentally I'll be fine
Life in a bag
Living my life in a bag
Thank you for putting me in this bag
American chaos, carnage and death
Nature really is returning
And we really are the virus, dude
We got a raise and a promotion at our job
We used to brush our teeth but we got hotter since we stopped
Our artsy friends have settled down
We put our feelings in a sock
Looks like we got got got got got got got got got got it on lock
We got a raise and promotion at our job
We’re getting shamed online so you don’t need to call the cops
Our hippest friends are getting square
They cross their arms, they check their watch
Seems like we got got got got got got got got got got it on lock
OK, doctor
I saw you at the pharmacy
Can you tell me if something’s wrong with me actually?
After I admit I have a problem what’s the second step?
No runs, no hits, no errors and nobody left
Down to the right
Down to the right
I contain multitudes
I contain multiple dudes
Mentally I'll
Mentally I'll
Mentally I'll be fine
Life in a bag
Living my life in a bag
Thank you for putting me in this bag

Heaven or Heck
Eat the rich food
Half-time breakdowns chopped and screwed
Pruning shears
Cutting liberty spikes
On the hedges of mind
This is so inclusive
I feel so included
If you’ve got plugs and gauges
You are welcome in our spaces
I’ve got friends in crowded places
We’re not much for social graces
We are social dissidents
We do not send condolences
And I hate to send mixed messages
I love to send mixed messages
I hate to send mixed messages
I love to send mixed messages
There was so much time
I spent rent free in my mind
I was radically transparent
Then I reverted to the mean
But there were changes in the hardcore scene
There was so much time
I spent rent free in my mind
I was radically transparent
Then I reverted to the mean
But there were changes in the hardcore scene
What’s the opposite of optimal
I think it’s liminal
Let’s get liminal
Bro we’re liminal
I’m the new New England grindcore
And I don’t need help
I’ll do it myself
And it will be so inclusive
You’ll feel so included
If you’ve got plugs and gauges
You are welcome in our spaces
I got friends with background checks
With X tattoos all up their necks
We are social dissidents
We do not send condolences
And I hate to send mixed messages
I love to send mixed messages
I hate to send mixed messages
I love to send mixed messages
There was so much time
I spent rent free in my mind
I was radically transparent
Then I reverted to the mean
But there were changes in the hardcore scene
There was so much time
I spent rent free in my mind
I was radically transparent
Then I reverted to the mean
But there were changes in the hardcore scene

Lyric video by Lenore Melo
Your heart is your largest muscle
Your heart respects no authority
Your tongue is your largest muscle
You talked so much you had to get corrective surgery
Your eyes are your largest muscle
They can recognize me when I’m wearing a hat
Your ass is your largest muscle
Why don’t you sit down a while and think about that
The way you take it there
I think it’s cool. I really do
The way you take it there
I think it’s cool. I really do
This life is not a special gift
But you can make the most of it
And your politics were good but you got weary
You tried solving all the world’s problems with your unifying theory
You got your heart in your hands, but your hands are in trouble
Because your heart your heart your heart your heart your heart your heart your heart’s your largest muscle
Aaaaaaah
Aaaaaaah
Your brain is your largest muscle
Everything on the left is also on the right
Your mind is so big and supple
And you can turn that thing around at any point
Your thoughts are a handsy schoolboy
Who is working part time at a Target store
You and I have so much in common but
Why don’t you sit down a while and think a little more
The way you take it there
I think it’s cool. I really do
The way you take it there
I think it’s cool. I really do
This life is not a special gift
But you can make the most of it
And your politics were good but you got weary
You tried solving all the world’s problems with your unifying theory
You got your heart on your mind, but your mind is in trouble
Because your heart your heart your heart your heart your heart your heart your heart’s your largest muscle
Aaaaaaah

I can only do one normal thing a day
Order from the menu $20 buffet
I am people pleasing and I follow the rules
I am bending over backwards, does it make me look cool?
Who modeled the behavior in which I engaged
A permission structure built on what you took and what you gave
Say RIP to everyone who died
Everything is gray now, do you like it?
You know I only want it if you want it
Whatever you need now, we can make it out of plastic
Everything’s in place now, do you like it?
No matter what you don’t like, we can move it
I think we can make it
We can make it out of plastic
Maybe I should call and apologize
It isn’t what you ordered, but it’s battered and fried
Hold on just a second while I transfer you
A zero and a three, big gold balloons
Who modeled the behavior in which you engaged
A permission structure built on what I took and what I gave
Singin’ RIP to everyone who died
Everything is gray now, do you like it?
You know I only want it if you want it
Whatever you need now, we can make it out of plastic
Everything’s in place now, do you like it?
No matter what you don’t like, we can move it
I think we can make it
We can make it out of plastic
Is there recycling?
It's sorted
Is there recycling?
It's sorted
Is there recycling?
It's sorted

As I walk through this wicked world
Searching for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself, is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred and misery?
And each time I feel like this inside
There's one thing I wanna know
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
As I walk on through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong and who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony, sweet harmony?
'Cause each time I feel it slipping away
It just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?

Subject verb
I want to be disturbed
I just perturbed the pigeons now the pigeons are perturbed
Lately I'm rustling the blinds
I got a lust for life, a life that is inside
Free shoes
Free Whoppers and Cokes
I see someone normal and I make a mental note
"Hey buddy, this is private property! This is private property! This is private property!"
But you're never ever gonna be alone, here in your community neighborhood home
I just want to be popular to watch
In the movie you put on from the camera on your porch
Your across the street neighbor walks his dog on TV
The future is now, unfortunately
And if I'm never ever gonna be alone, here in my community neighborhood home
Then I wanna be popular to watch in the movie you put on from the camera on your porch
Subject line: What's a lawn chair like?
Do you ever sit outside getting 69 bug bites?
Ask away, is it punk to complain?
The salad's mostly iceberg when it should be romaine
I fly my drone high above your home
I see someone normal and I feel less alone
"Hey buddy, this is private property! This is private property! This is private property!"
But you're never ever gonna be alone, here in your community neighborhood home
I just want to be popular to watch
In the movie you put on from the camera on your porch
Your across the street neighbor pulling weeds on TV
The future is now, unfortunately
And if I'm never ever gonna be alone, here in my community neighborhood home
Then I wanna be popular to watch in the movie you put on from the camera on your porch
But you're never ever gonna be alone, here in your community neighborhood home
I just want to be popular to watch
In the movie you put on from the camera on your porch
Your across the street neighbor watches you on TV
The future is now, unfortunately
And if I'm never ever gonna be alone, here in my community neighborhood home
Then I wanna be popular to watch in the movie you put on from the camera on your porch
Woo

Me and Panic woke up together
This is not one night, no it is forever
I will make breakfast (avocado toast)
You'll be father, son and the holy freaking ghost
I was just awarded my advanced degree
Now I'm in a band making musique concrète
Dishwasher tumbles dry a Pringles can
Sounds about as good no matter where you stand
Success is cringe! Success is cringe!
I wanna be on the fringe
I wanna be on the fringe
I wanna be on the fringe
I wanna be on the fringe
Me and Panic wearing really big shirts
Looking for others wearing really big shirts
Carving massive nudes out of cold mayonnaise
Guess there's no accounting for taste ...
Opening night at my gallery show,
"A Personal History of My Runny Nose"
A towering achievement in aesthetic design
The critics don't like it, they are here for the wine
Success is cringe! Success is cringe!
I wanna be on the fringe
I wanna be on the fringe
I wanna be on the fringe
I wanna be on the fringe
I want to be on the fringe
F-R-I-N-G, the fringe
F-R-I-N-G, the fringe
I want to be on the fringe
F-R-I-N-G, the fringe
F-R-I-N-G, the fringe
I wanna be on the fringe
I wanna be on the fringe
I wanna be on the fringe
I wanna be on the fringe

why'd they put the headache so close to my brain
every time i open my mouth i explain
there's no peace of mind in the public domain
i've been getting bug bites and i'm voting for the government
i breathe air with the front of my face
i read books with the front of my face
a new band with exactly the same name
why'd they put the headache so close to my brain
i did or did not break a German law
what did i learn? well first, that i was right
a sleeping man, a curious bear: you won't believe what happens next!
i'm getting ready to do some man work. man work. man work.
i'm all ready to do some man work. man work. man work.
why'd they put the headache so close to my brain
every time i open my mouth i explain
there's no peace of mind in the public domain
i've been getting bug bites and i'm voting for the government
i breathe air with the front of my face
i read books with the front of my face
a new band with exactly the same name
why'd they put the headache so close to my brain
your mural's not especially tasteful
if you think the dream is stupid, here's a gift receipt
are aliens real? are aliens real?
$90 band shirts!
bad things happen!

Lyric video by Lenore Melo
it's a best out of three series: it's game one. it's game two. it's game three. it's game four
change is the only constant
change is the only croissant
it's a free country, baby
it's a free country, baby
it's a free country, baby
it's a free country, baby
i got a haircut
i got my car fixed
i took my meds on time 4 times today
nothing in this store is good enough to steal, so why is there a security camera?
nothing on this earth is good enough to steal, so why is there a security camera?
i liked it better before you were standing next to me. ha ha

i need an empath, is that too much to ask?
i'm still holding my breath, can I stop holding my breath now?
it's a cakewalk, and i take it easy
these aren't gym shorts, they're athleisure
i need a frank talk, is that too much to ask?
i am double-fisting it: medications in one hand, placebos in the other hand
i got a soul made of whole-grain mustard
i'm not normal, i'm unflustered
do you want to see me wear a collared shirt?
manipulation, influence, affluence and arrogance
do you want to see me eating French dessert?
persecution, placation, validation, Fast Food Nation
do you guys want to see some pics of things i did on my vacation?
if i catch on fire, please put me out
if i get wet, please dry me off
if i have a heart attack, please give me CPR and continue the compressions till the ambulance arrives
if i forget my wallet, please loan me 20 bucks and pretend it never happened and don't ask for it back
if you have to kill me, please cover me in dirt
if i catch on fire, please put me out
if i catch on fire, please put me out
when you need something from someone you haven't talked to in a long time, do you just ask? or do you call them first for quote-unquote no reason, and then a couple days later, call them again?
do you want to see me wear a collared shirt?
manipulation, influence, affluence and arrogance
do you want to see me eating clumps of dirt?
persecution, placation, validation, Fast Food Nation
do you guys want to see some pics of things i did on my vacation?
