the life of a bureaucrat is tough, trust me, i'm defeated
and when you ask for a hand i'll act like i didn't see it,
say:
"the only way to survive and feed your family so
they don't sprout weeds, or die of polio painfully...
i lost my train of thought, just make that money!"
women and girls, pull out your knives,
we'll kill any man who looks at us twice
"sweetheart, honey, sugarpie"
i swore, i swore, i would make them cry
and smile because i'm right
and i'll say sorry if i have to go
but i don't have friends and i don't want more
i hold my Grammy for Best in Show
and i stare, stare, stare
till i think no more,
my songs are as bland and emotionless
as the rest
i wrapped my legs around the altar
and i held hands with all the others
memorized the state of our
soiled, infested, songs of rapture
i peeled back the wallpaper and
saw the state of our loneliness
