Quit It!

Quit blowing yer straw wrappers at me, please
For I’m trapped behind this counter here, serving yer every need
Quit hurling yer heavy insults at my face
This minimum wage routine is truly getting to me!
Oh tell me when is something good going to happen?
It feels too late, I just can’t wait, no nuh uh … no not anymore!
Please tell me when is something good going to happen?
Just gimme a push! Oh gimme me a nudge and I’ll dance out that door!
Quit telling me where I ought to be, please
Is it my fault I’m stuck in this effed up reality?
Quit stamping yer sticky labels all over me
Distracting blindfolds makes the truth so hard to see!
Oh tell me when is something good going to happen?
It feels so lame when everything just stays the same
Please tell me when is something good going to happen?
But oh holy spit … I gotta admit, I’m not the only one to blame!
No more are you gonna hear me moan & sob
Cuz very soon I’m gonna take this wretched job and quit it!

Well-Done Mannequins

See how the store front window invites
The inside of my pants is suddenly alight
They look way too good to ever be real
Like any other ordinary plastic meal
Well-done mannequins, oh
Think I'm in love ... Goodness knows!
I will take them home, minus the clothes
So in my bed there will finally be
Three more dummies beside me
Well-done mannequins, oh
Pretty mannequins, so well done
Dig those mannequins, so much fun
Well-done mannequins

Imitation

You don’t pretend to be rich
You don’t appear to be thick
No, wings
It’s just a form of flattery
Imitation
You don’t appear to be young
You don’t pretend to be hung
It’s just a case of coersion
Wanting to be the same person
It’s imitation
I’m so busy
Imitating everybody
But nobody
Ever wants to imitate me
Ever wants to be like me!
Who do I want to be now that I’ve lost my reality?
No one
No one wants to interview me
No one wants to photograph me
No one wants to get to know me
No one wants to go home with me
You
I want to be like you
I want to walk like you
I want to talk like you
You know it’s true

Rude Thing
02:49
|

|
You don’t know when to push on something
And you also don’t know when you should pull it
You don’t know when to smile politely
Or when to spit all your holy bullets!
Rude thing! Oh so rude!
Some people, they are just like doors
And them I just can no longer handle
The way I hear them hammering each other,
It’s a dirty, ugly, lowdown scandal!
Rude thing! Oh so rude!
Some rude might be well understood
But too much rude, well it just ain’t no good
Big opportunities rise up quick
When you see one, you just reach out and grab it
But if you don’t adjust that attitude,
I’m gonna pull back and just let you have it!
Rude thing! Oh so rude!
You’ll tumble. You’ll fall off that old brick wall
No, the king’s men’s won’t be upset
If you don’t go back to school and learn your lesson soon,
Reality will crack that big ole head!
Rude too much
Much too rude
Rude much too
Too much rude
Rude thing!

I
Not looking to start a fight
But observing their dull little cluster …
Hey babydoll, something just ain't right!
When he walks in, they get a little more than flustered
Are you gonna wanna punch him
or you gonna wanna puke
When you find out all about him
And how he feels about folks like you?
Ya gotta admit, he swishes n sways
Heads turn, faces burn and whisper
It’s safe to say that he bats that way
Time to burst this festering … blister
Yeah, he’ll watch queens and they’ll watch cars
But they all enjoy a little drag race
That sugar in his tank won’t ruin the parts
This road is anything but narrow and straight!
Are your lies his reality,
Or can you tolerate the truth?
When you’ve read all his broetry
And find out just how much he’s like you
He likes you
He’s like you, he likes you … What ya gonna do?
II
Forced macho and forced buff :
These things escape a girly boy like he
A life of teasing has made him tough
That “girl” is more of man than you’ll ever be!
