lyrics

Country-fried hair and a grown-up mask
You got a green caravan to take to task
But it's slim to none and slim skipped town
Gotta hold all the calls or they'll take you down
Strep throat, ready with the piece of ploy
Those Constantinopleans jump for joy
Got the attitude of a pissed off feigner
With the drunk complexion of a young John Boehner
She's tall and blonde, falling out of touch
With the Vicodin she never really cared for much
She's staring down the barrel of an empty head
'Cause his cheese brain blocked all the words she said
She needs five new mindsets, one at a time
With a ferry from the carrier pigeon line
Fitting in with everything just like taupe
But the eight ball speaketh and it says "nope"

This is what happens when the weak get weaker

Peel out, leave the city in flames
Look the devil in the eye and then call him names
You get a sheik veneer and a crooked grin
As you fall into the same trap over again
Quiet in the alley in the fishing yard
Got a dollar for your neighbor on a Metro card
With the sleek breeze carrying a tune
That's been everywhere but it's new to you
Meanwhile, she's covering the database
Blacking out each page with her rollerblades
Stop whining, you say it's fine
And you looked at the chart and bug's benign
Dream big, collar that criminal
Super-amplify the superliminal
Ready as a ranger with a razor cap
But the horoscope reads "stay home and nap"

Call me exceptional, call me irreparable now
Call me forgettable, call me regrettable now
