Post-American Blues
they blew up the past, they blew up the future
ain't nothin' but the here and now
i was born in the country, moved to the city
now i'm fatter than a big ol' cow
i got merle haggard playin', i'm a haphazard swayin'
just a drivin' my chinese car
yeah i'm huggin' the middle but the traffic's goin' right
an' i'm gonna start a civil war
all the baseball players got names i never seen
they sell sushi at the ballpark bar
and the man on the stage in the big red hat
says there's rapists at the border from afar
old joe in the house, he's as white as a ghost
says we better start snoozin' that alarm
they blew up the past, they blew up the future
ain't nothin' but the here and now
well jesus loves me, buddha bugs me
i gotta get in tune with the tao
if that eastern voodoo don't do what it's sposed to
then tramadol'll help me simmer down
Chaos Theory
yesterday when you
sat there on your
ass
and pissed your
pants
because you thought
something i said
was ridiculous
you made me so
maniacally mad
that you
set in motion
a series of effects
that culminated
today
in a cataclysm
aneurysm
bing beep bing bing beep
vandalism
of my atomic foundation's
neural frustration
nuff this
fucked up situation
and i just exploded
like a goddamn derecho
and now you're dead
all over the place
and all i can think of
is eating your
brains for breakfast
Childhood Memories
when you said all men are bad
did you think that, maybe
you always picked bad men
scumbags, losers, creeps
guys you thought you could change
with your unrealized superpowers
but when you met that smart guy
who liked movies, who talked about them
who didn't need any changing
you didn't like him at all
and when you said a man's thing looks terrible
did you think that, maybe
you didn't need to say that to me
and when i was 15 and dropped out
and you said you wished i'd just
find a girl and settle down
did you think that, maybe...
oh mom, when you said these things
to me, your son
when i was just a kid
what the fuck were you thinking
Do You Ever Think Of Me
it's been such a long long time
scars are faded tears have dried
i guess pain and you must flow away
but i still see you standing there
in the doorway smiling sweet
hurts me till my knees go weak
you and i were meant to be
thought my feelings set me free
i learned love could make or break my heart
stumbled through the darkest night
day you left the stars took flight
years and years to find my way
hey how bout you
do you ever think of me
when rain falls down
when skies are gray
Go!
jacked
frantic
fucked
discombobulated
shot out the barrel
at 90 miles an hour
swimmin' upstream
hopin' mama's ovulated
piss off brothers
gotta get there first
this here gig is
no time to be modulated
stick that egg
up the goddamn middle
but nice 'n' gentle
so it don't get lobulated
and some day later
when old lookin' back
write a little poem bout
the gods you circumambulated
