I’m aggressively stupid I’m progressively dumb With my backward pride All jammed inside I’m really quite numb Won’t see me fret it Because I just don’t get it Foul is fair, and fair doesn’t care But he only wants the home he knew Wants to drive out the invader, too But he just won’t get it I’m aggressively stupid Debbie called Now her brain has stalled And she tells me vapid bullshit is good She’s the human Access Hollywood Oh fuck that No, I just don’t get it I’m aggressively stupid I’m progressively dumb With my backward pride All jammed inside I’m really quite numb Won’t see me fret it Because I just won’t get it And when the stars come out tonight I’ll be there, too I see no happy ending We’ll get no happy end I see no happy ending for you with me Pop pop pop And you like it, and you like it well Pop pop pop And I only want the free ride Pop pop pop And you like it, yes you like it well Pop pop pop Always turning in a whirlpool Pop pop pop And you like it, yes you like it well Pop pop pop And I only want to hear right Foul is fair and fair doesn’t care But I care

We took you uptown We took you down to the sea Into dusky places You’d never find without me But every little thing gets you down Yeah every little thing gets you down Now all I want is To cut this off painfully Someday when you’re happy Without drugs to play Your magic’s poor And you loved this most So you’ll be at my door But please go away! From trust abusing A friend I’m losing I see It’s pure confusion A heart contusion in me But every little thing drags you down Yeah every little thing drags you down Now all I want is To sever this fatally Dizzy in the darkness Stumbling my way You’re rolling in A head of green Our own Napoleon Oh just go away! And I know you liked it Until you spiked it Eating this up voraciously Now you’re always moody And distant and broody Making me wait so patiently Halting this train so passively You’re breaking this back subversively Well you lied to the rest So now you’ve lied to me

I’m cruising round and round and round your street I’m cruising around and around and around your beat And I don’t want to say what you know is true You feel me creeping up to you You can run, you can hide, but unless I’m blue I’m catching up to you Just like everybody has to wait in line I will starve until it’s my time I’m in a blaze on your final maze But I know Yes, I know I’m catching up to you! It’s a dark world So I’d rather be light It’s a hard world So I try not to fight It’s a cold world Maybe you have found that, too It’s a dark world when I’ve nothing to prove It’s a hard world when you’ve nothing to lose It’s a cold world here Maybe you have found that, too I’ll stick with you

Counting time in the backseat of my mind That’s no place I’d like to go But we can ditch this holiday Once we find a place to play They’ll never get you anyway You don’t need my love You don’t need my love You just need a pretty girl’s today You don’t need my love You don’t need my love You just need a pretty girl Collecting fears Or whatever seems to fill up your years That’s no place I’d like to go And if you’re sleeping like a priest You should pick a God at least For heavy lifting when you wake You don’t need my love You don’t need my love You just need a pretty girl today Mold it into shape Fix your great escape You just need a pretty girl And mother wants to know Where does his father always seem to go? Oh there’s no way There’s no way That I’ll ever show my face today And there’s no place I want to go But if we find our place to play Then we won’t need this holiday They’ll never get you anyway And everybody knows…

Everybody’s got a hungry heart But nobody ever knows when it’ll start I can take what you send my way But this deep black hole will make an Atheist pray And I don’t want to realize That my own blood won’t sympathize I’ve had a hundred or more consultations I can’t get closer to an explanation I’ve got a poison condition This stabbing in my head I’ve got an open infection I could be dead Everybody’s got the will to take But nobody knows quite where it’ll break And I can see what I mean to them A handshake, a buck, and a “hey, good luck” Charm and beauty And simple joys I can’t feel it I don’t know why Stolen evenings laced with doubt Because my own body won’t help me out And where’re the magical medications To deal with these vanishing expectations I’ve got a poison condition This stabbing in my head I’ve got an open infection I could be dead And everybody should know… Charm and beauty And simple joys I can feel them getting further Caring voices All turned to noise I can’t feel them I don’t know why I’ve got a poison condition This stabbing in my head I’ve got an open infection I could be dead I’ve got a poison condition I could be dead
