lyrics

I should've kneeled down and begged you
for whatever you'd give to me.
A kernel, colonipin, hand clap, think piece,
the second and third for free.
If I qualify for rent control
I hear they throw the funeral in for free.
I've been writing down all of these songs to sing,
yelling look over here
the question you answered's
just got to have to do with me
I'm waving my arms around,
Yelling.
Shaking them up in the air.

You put on my stolen clothes,
put glitter in my hair,
hoping you'd see me,
hoping it's too late
but it's been too much to bear,
but if I got to do it, I'll do it
in polite society.
At least,
that's what my friends who's parents paid for Ivy League schools tell me.

We should thank you for a half a day a week,
the new world order
is kinder
and gentler
a machine gun to computer screen
but Liliah looks good in that...
Sorry, were you talking to me?
If you don't have an appointment,
I guess there's no one to see.
and if you don't have an appointment,
I guess there's no one to see.

I dressed as Sodom and Gomorrah
every day but halloween,
if she came from me to you
the preacher forgives for a fee
and just cause you're an American, kid.
Don't mean that you won't get kicked in the teeth.

And I know I could get down
but that don't sound so good to me.
And I know I could get down
but that don't sound so good for my knees.
