Oh oh my gosh,

what have we here,

a December night,

filled with fright.

Around the house

it is dank and cold,

not much to do except

write and get old.

Sleep, the way to forget things,

sleep away the night.

Here we go,

another day,

sun shines bright,

hurting my eyesight.

So much to do now,

where do I start,

break out my laptop,

and write from the start,

words flow freely and given a life,

a life worth living again.

This is sort/kinda what it sounds like:

Written to the tune of Alanis Morrisette’s Ironic:

You’ve got no plans to leave your state

All that’s left to do is wait for your next Zoom date

Or you get by on texting your bae

Nothing to talk about ’cept the last thing you ate

So this is a pandemic, and it stinks

It hurts my braiiiiaaaiiinnn to think about my last vacay

So I tik tok until the pain goes away

Or I roll the dice and play board games all day

And now I need pants so much bigger

If we play it safe, and just stay inside

Rearrange your booOOoOokcase

And find some Clorox to buy

Clean your whole damn house til it shines bright

So you feel good about drinking wine all night

So this is a pandemic, and it stinks

It hurts my braiiiiaaaiiinnn to think about my last vacay

So I tik tok until the pain goes away

Or I roll the dice and play board games all day

And now I need pants so much bigger

I know what you’re gonna say

That playing Animal Crossing every single day is wasting all my time

Yeah I know what you’re gonna say

That cursing out loud when you think that mute’s turned on gets your boss really on your case

What you wouldn’t give for a kid’s play date

Or let’s be hooOOoOonest, you just wanna give em away

When there ain’t any school you have to do their math right

It’s harder than it seems to avoid one huge fight

So this is a pandemic, and it stinks

It hurts my braiiiiaaaiiinnn to think about my last vacay

So I tik tok until the pain goes away

Or I roll the dice and play board games all day

And now I need pants so much bigger

Yeah I know what you’re gonna say

I had nothing better to dooOOoOo

Yeah well I also wanna say

Corona, you suck

2020, I’m out

Am I allowed

To look at him like that

Could it be wrong

When he's just so nice to look at

He smells like Apple trees in fall

He stands confident and tall

U would find him

In a Polaroid picture

And he

Means everything to me

He smells like lemongrass and beach

He feels like cotton balls and dryer sheets

He deserves to be

In every Polaroid picture

But that's just me

He talks bubbly like soap

His voice is full of kindness and hope

And I would love if he

Would take a Polaroid picture

With me

Oh gosh, it’s hard to survive this

This life of uphill success

And just when you think that you made it

You get knocked back down to the ground

"To trudge on is to make it"

You all cry out to me

Oh gosh, it’s hard to survive it

I congratulate your “bravery”

Yes, you ask me if I’m comin'

But I’d rather sit at the side

And watch all of these wanderers

Fighting this mountain of life

You might think that I’m being lazy

But pardon my sense of humour

I just like to watch you all fallin'

Watch you fallin' back into the deep

Oh gosh, success is a struggle

And it’s funny to view you all

Climbing a mountain, near impossible

You’re always coming back for more

You never consider the alternative,

Cause you’re so busy heading for the top

Gracious, allow me to laugh out loud

When you fall back down, hitting the bottom

Well, you say that I’m a meaner

I guess mean, that I might be

But, I just like to laugh at these people

Cause I find funny their antics

Their lives are a joke and a lesson

And trust me that I really learn

But if you tell me your stories

Allow yourselves to burn

Cause, gosh, I find it humorous

To hear about your mischief

To listen to all your failures

’Specially those made in stupidity

Now, it’s not that I’m trying to be cruel

Cause if you sit down with me

I’ll tell you my life tale

And you’ll laugh out loud right beside me

Yes, you’ll laugh out loud

Accompanying me

Politicians gather in their masses,

The Bourgeoisie lectures us on classes.

Evil minds that plot our downfall,

"On your knees. Begin to crawl."

Oh, Lord Yeah!

In the fields, we start working,

While the Fatcats start to sing.

Death and hatred to mankind,

Smoke and mirrors have made you blind.

Politicians hide themselves away,

Thinking themselves as a saviour.

Why should they pay their taxes,

They leave that role all to the poor.

History is not on their side,

Making up the rules just for fun.

Treating people just like ponds in chess,

One day their judgement day will come.

Now that the world is burning,

The Wall Street Machine has stopped turning.

No more Bourgeoisie have the power,

The hand of God has struck the hour.

Day of judgement, God is calling,

On their knees, Politicians start crawling.

Begging mercy for all their lies,

Judged by those they once despised.

Oh, Lord Yeah!

All my life, been forced to wear

This God-awful apparel

'Cause Pa won't let me wear thongs

And My Mom's an oldschool woman

This town is full of dumb laws

Shops and cops and pompous standards

But I'll show who I am, They're gonna truly know me

I'm a streaker and a grower, yeah

Are you ready for the reveal

Are you ready for all this skin

Like I'm in the Garden of Eden

I'm done being so timid

On to the golden sunlight

I'll be basking in the warm rays

And if you puke, Boo-Hoo

Hey Look Ma, I'm Naked

Hey Look Ma, I'm Naked

Everything's hangin' and swayin' , swayin'

If it's nightmarish, keep gazin, gazin

I said Hey Look Ma, I'm Naked

Friends are scarred and scant

Or are they quite impressed

As they gawk at my jewels

Like they wanna give me clothing

Some are running far

While others look jealous of my unholy's

Then I'm sure you're shocked my bronie, oh

Are you ready for the reveal

Ain't you ready for this body

Like the Garden of Eden

I'll keep bein' the Free-ist

In the goldred sunset

I'll be chilling here all night

And if you snooze, you lose

Hey Look Ma, I'm Naked

Hey Look Ma, I'm Naked

Everything's hanging, all pasty

If it's a nightmare that's just you're taste yeah, taste yeah

I said Hey Look Ma, I'm Naked

I said Hey Look Ma, I'm Naked, Naked

I've got it, I'll flaunt it, it's swayin', swayin'

If you're scarred, there's no escapin'

I said Hey Look Ma, I'm Naked

(Mama best believe it, Mama best believe it) (Hey Look Ma, I'm Naked)

(Think I must be dreamin' . love this breeze I'm feelin') (Hey look Ma, I'm Naked)

(Mama best believe it, I'm feelin' so much free-er) (Hey Look Ma, I'm Naked)

(I think I hear sirens screamin')

Hey Look Ma, I'm Naked!

My heart is broken

My head has spoken

I'll take the high road like I should

You said it's meant to be

That it's not you, it's me

You're leaving now for my own good

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

He left like a coward

Our time together soured

He couldn't even message for an hour

Help me, I'm no good at being abandoned!

He never even answered

My calls and texts now plastered

In every chat, with some slander

I'm all out of ways to understand

How you leave me like that

My pride still feels the sting

You were my everything

Some day I'll find a love like yours (a love like yours)

He'll think I'm super sweet

Not a poisoned treat

And will not call me a liar then ignore

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

Listened and lied

That no longer flied

But still you couldn't deny

Help me, I'm no good at being abandoned!

I was there even when you lacked

Anything but to attack

Waited paiently for you to circle back

I'm all out of ways to understand

How you leave me like that

I wanna forget everything you put me through

I wanna start over anew...

But you don't want to

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

That's cool, but if my friends ask where you are I'm gonna say

He left like a coward

Our time together soured

He couldn't even message for an hour

Help me, I'm no good at being abandoned!

He never even answered

My calls and texts now plastered

In every chat, with some slander

I'm all out of ways to understand

How you leave me like that

Listened and lied

That no longer flied

But still you couldn't deny

Help me, I'm no good at being abandoned!

I was there even when you lacked

Anything but to attack

Waited paiently for you to circle back

I'm all out of ways to understand

How you leave me like that

50 ways to say goodbye by train

There's stars in the crab and cancer in the sky,

If I were an astronaut I'd cure us all,

If I were, then I'd sing your name and sing it right,

Never wrong and never guilty and never wrong.

Oh to hold your skin under my arms and under my breath, in healing,

up through time and dealing it and sent to the stars.

Way up to the stars, Yes'm

An eyelash on the moon, Yes'm

Way up to the stars, Yes'm

Just teach 'em your name, Yes'm

All of God's children they cried and they praised,

Where were they raised, Oh, and where did they fall,

Is outer space hell and the heavens underground,

Is the Lord a flower that had risen up from it.

Didn't I know you in the spring time yesteryear,

under showers of dying constellations in the winter air.

Skies and time and earth, Yes'm

All the heaven's worth, Yes'm

Tides and their pulls and Mars, Yes'm

Way up to the stars, Yes'm

And you can see tomorrow too,

It's in the silver painting in the sky,

I know you're hurting and don't know what to do,

But I know you can pull it all with all your might.

Set the world a match of fire, make it shine of silver and gold,

listen to the pulse and the heartbeat, the pulse inside you're told.

Cause that's the whole wide word, Yes'm

Way up in the stars, Yes'm

You hold the light of light, Yes'm

You hold up all the stars, Yes'm

Happy Christmas, Katy

Happy Christmas, Justin

“So this is Christmas?

And what have you done”?

“I shat on the sofa, poured beer on my mum”

And so this is Christmas

I hope you have fun.

The Father above us, He gave us His Son

A very Merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

They got drunk on red rum, they couldn’t see clear.

And so this is Christmas? (war is over)

For weak and for strong (if you call Him)

For rich and the poor ones (war is over)

The battle is won (now)

And so happy Christmas (war is over)

For black and for white (if you call Him)

But yellow and red ones (war is over)

They scoffed at the sight (now)

A very Merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

They hog drunk on red rum, they couldn’t see clear.

“And so this is Christmas? (war is over)

“And what have we done”? (if you call Him)

I shat on the sofa (war is over)

Poured beer on my mum (now)

And so happy Christmas (war is over)

We hope you have fun (if you call Him)

The Father above us (war is over)

He gave us His son (now)

A very Merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

They got drunk on red rum, they couldn’t see clear.

War is over, if you call Him

War is over, now!

Happy Christmas!

Take my life so I can be

Out from under, truly free.

Let me end it now, I pray.

I would do it ev’ry day.

I would do it ev’ry day.

Take my life, I cannot wait,

All my trials to consecrate.

All my ailments, take them, too.

I’ll devote them all to you.

I’ll devote them all to you.
