No more little jokey-poos
No more one-string puppet shows
I like to think my culture's sinking fast
So strike up the band and we're good to go
Good to go
Good to go
Back to sleep
To sleep
The Cop Who Cares Too Much
That's a good one that's for sure
I like to think he walks among us
Searching for a love that's pure
But Bach is dead and Shakespeare is dead
And I don't feel so good myself you know
My Mama said I was born in a trunk
I'm gritting my teeth and I'm good to go
Good to go
Good to go
Back to sleep
To sleep
I've lived in this town all my life
I like to think that it's easy to find
Take the train to the end of the line
And when the train shakes and shudders and whines
Good to go
Good to go
Back to sleep
To sleep

When I think about the wonderous days to come
And a better world for everyone
I get hosed I get hosed
Hosed by the future
When I think of all the progress that we made
And there's no need to be afraid
I get hosed I get hosed
Hosed by the future
On the wrong side of history again
On the wrong side along with all my friends
And no one wants to crawl
Through someone else's Golden Age
And no one wants to die
On the next to the last page
When I'm sure that goodness shall prevail
And the fascist thugs will surely fail
I get hosed I get hosed
Hosed by the future
When I think the greedy turds will pay the price
And everything is going to be nice
I get hosed I get hosed
Hosed by the future
On the wrong side of history again
On the wrong side along with all my friends
And no one wants to crawl
Through someone else's Golden Age
And no one wants to die
On the next to the last page
Buggy whips and DAT
And Betamax and me
New Coke and Van Halen III
And tulip bulbs and me
When I think about the hearts of average folks
That they might rise up and end this joke
I get hosed I get hosed
Hosed by the future
When I do it for the sake of Future Days
And consciousness might be raised
I get hosed I get hosed
Hosed by the future

Pity Party
03:51
|

Hey Hey it's a pity party
Everybody's feeling mighty sorry for me
Everybody's standing around they're stone-faced eating cake
I should try to calm them all down cos there's been some mistake
And if some blowdried reporter ace
Shoves his microphone right in my face
I'll say go on home you've got lives of your own
And I don't need this pity party
Hey Hey it's a pity party
Everybody's feeling mighty sorry for me
Several old aquaintances with tears filling their eyes
Ask me what I've done for them lately I'm somehow not surprised
That a small army of undertakers
Are checking out my size
They've dug a big hole but I'm not ready to go
And I don't need this pity party
Hey Hey it's a pity party
Everybody's feeling mighty sorry for me
And the only thing that I can say
I hope to be well enough to work in an office someday
Your sorrow gets me nowhere your pity is a waste
I'm full of dust and old guitars and should have been exploded in space
And no one here should be surprised
When I disappear before your eyes
So go on home and leave me alone
I don't need this pity party
I don't wanna leave you feeling sorry
Mighty sorry
Hey Hey it's a pity party
Everybody's feeling mighty sorry for me
Mighty sorry for me

Strange Kind Of Weird
03:35
|
|||
|
Well it's a strange kind of weird
All the cars lock their doors when they see
me
A clicking paranoid symphony
Because I look like a freak when I'm out on the street
It's a strange kind of weird
The trees and the plants are talking to me
Spreading their vegetable conspiracy
Discarded plastic cups making fun of my beard
It's a strange kind of weird
Well it's a strange kind of weird
My mind is picking up transmissions
I might be an alien on a mission
It must be true I saw it online here
It's a strange kind of weird
So I may seem eccentric and crazy
But compared to the freak that runs our country
I might be Average Man of the Year
He's a strange kind of weird
He's a strange kind of weird
Strange!
Well it's a strange kind of weird

Soft Dolls And Animals
03:33
|
|||
|
You can tell by the way I walk
Glancing side to side
I'm the kind of guy
With a hobby he hides
Wasting time so many years
Hanging at the mall
Waiting for soft dolls
And animals
Soft dolls and animals
When you tear off dolly's head
The inside smells like glue
Not the first time it's true
That I told that to you
I'm not alone there's millions more
And I know them all
Into soft dolls
And animals
Soft dolls and animals

Bringing The Fragile
02:34
|
|||
|
I'm bringing the fragile and you
Spun sugar glass
And butterfly wings
These are fragile things
Morning dew
A sky all blue
These are fragile too
Like my self esteem and my stupid dream
And my little world domination scheme
I'm bringing the fragile and you
A rainbow there
In the sultry air
That's both fragile and rare
A lost cosmonaut
An abstract thought
Their very existence is fraught
Like my self esteem and my rocknroll dream
And the reflection of a cold moonbeam
I'm bringing the fragile and you

Happy As A Bee

When I'm happy as a bee
When I'm happy as a bee
When I'm happy as a bee
Watch out for me
When I'm happy as a bee
When I'm happy as a bee
When I'm happy as a bee
Watch out for me
Watch out for me
After a very very long day
Of making Royal Jelly for the Queen
I polish up my thorax
Now I'm feeling sharp and a little bit mean
Out on the town with my homebees
We just obey our DNA
You want to thrive, don't bother our hive
Don't go away mad just go away
Buzz Buzz
When I'm happy as a bee
When I'm happy as a bee
When I'm happy as a bee
Watch out for me
Watch out for me
Today I'm a Chaos Voter
Looking for the next big buzz
And my my! I'm willing to die
If I can take you down because
I fear this hive is collapsing
But I'm a Stepping Razor Soldier Child
And it's nothing personal, man
So behave like a guest when you're out in the wild
Buzz Buzz
When I'm happy as a bee
When I'm happy as a bee
When I'm happy as a bee
Watch out for me
When I'm happy as a bee
When I'm happy as a bee
When I'm happy as a bee
Watch out for me
Watch out for me
Watch out for me

Reality
I get to choose one
I'd rather be
Safe at home in bed
Temperature
Don't think I have one
Let's check
The barometer instead
But that Deep State Q Anon X-Files shit
Did not protect me from taking a hit
And it looks like the Sheeple were right after all
I got a fever
NineNineNine
Please please please call the doctor
NineNineNine
NineNineNine
Conspiracies
I can't choose just one
So many flavors
It might make you shout
Disinfectant spray
Where can I buy some?
To purify myself
Inside and out
But all of my friends think that I'm slightly dead
But I'm deemed essential so I'm working instead
Because funtime is over... OVER!
I got a temperature
NineNineNine
Please believe me
NineNineNine
NineNineNine
I got a fever
NineNineNine
Call the doctor
NineNineNine
I got a temperature
NineNineNine
Please believe me
NineNineNine

Beat Your Own Ass
02:33
|

Why don't you
Beat your own ass
For your mental health
You don't have to wait for
Somebody else
If you want it done right
You gotta do it yoursel
f
Oh yeah
So beat your own ass
It's easy to do
Nobody knows
Your weak spots like you
So unleash the fury
And bust out the Kung Fu
Oh yeah
And then the clouds
They will all part for you
And all the secrets
Will be revealed too
There's just one thing that you need to do...
Now beat your own ass
Kick your own butt
It's high time to
Show yourself what's what
A punch in the gut
A kick in the nuts
Oh yeah
So beat your own ass
It feels good when you stop
You might as well retire
While you're on top
But you got a beef
And you can't let it drop
Oh yeah
And then the sun
Is gonna fill the sky
And you can live
With an open eye
All you have to do is make yourself cry
And then the clouds
They will all part for you
And all the secrets
Will be revealed too
There's just one thing that you need to do...
So beat your own ass
Beat it! Beat it!
Beat your own ass
Beat beat beat beat it!
Beat it!
Oh yeah

I Buried Paul
03:02
|
|||
|
A man's gotta make a living and so
I just do my work and go
Rain it loosens the dirt
Rain it sure couldn't hurt
And that Billy Shears
Not as nice as everybody hears
But he paid in cash after all
So I buried Paul

Sorry On The Way
02:49
|
|||
|
Sad mistakes and shitty breaks
Hot dog!
Pick yourself up and be on your way
Someone's gone but life goes on
Goddamn
You'll sure regret the things you didn't say
So I'm the dumbest guy in the room
And I can't understand the fray and how to play
There's a secret everyone else seems to know
And I never thought I'd be sorry on the way
Overlooked and undercooked
Oh well!
Looks like we missed the Eternal Now
Money sex and broken necks
Good times
We just weren't made for these games anyhow
So all my friends they come down to the dock
They launch my ship and they shout "Hooray! You're okay"
But I never knew I'd be all weighted down
And I never thought I'd be sorry on the way
So tie another can to my tail
The clattering will drive one mad I say every day
A posse of regrets is on my trail
And I never thought I'd be sorry on the way
I never thought I'd be sorry on the way
Never thought I'd be sorry

Stupid Antichrist
03:04
|
|||
|
You are free to go...
Free to go
Stupid stupid stupid stupid antichrist
You can't even end this world right
When your father looks up from Hell below
Sees his plan's not going well oh no
He's got his popcorn out and he's ready to go
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
They're so damn bored they're about to flip
At Applebee's eating queso dip
Stupid stupid stupid stupid antichrist
You can't even end this world right
He wastes his time and his plans are vague
Might get it together to start a locust plague
He's the red-haired son of a Minute Maid
He's a chaos clown having lots of fun
Punching the Judy out of everyone
He's a boxing nun authoritarian
Stupid stupid stupid stupid antichrist
You can't even end this world right
And let us give thanks
To our Lord mighty God
That the antichrist
Is kind of crap at his job
Stupid stupid stupid stupid antichrist
You can't even end this world right
You are free to go...
Free to go
