A directory of lyrics that rattle around my hippocampus 18 hours a day

Well I'm here to tell you folks that there is more to life

Than being walked on by the lame - The Drones: The Freedom in The Loot [2006]


Lunch in the park

Ruined for you by nagging thoughts - Self Defense Family: Talia [2015]


Trust this statement

There's no trusting states, man - Drug Church: Plucked [2022]


These things I read about the way the world works

I lift the spoon to socket and dig my eyes out

[]

Those things I do about the way the world works

Wonder will it amount to anything at all? - Drug Church: Million Miles of Fun [2022]


Slipping out of the yawning abyss

Calling each other names, pretending to reminisce - No Bird Sing: Apogee [2013]


I'm not good with depression

So I put my mind to other things - Self Defense Family: Everybody Wants a Prize For Feeling [2015]


Cynical not bitterness

Love my girl and friendships - Drug Church: Myopic [2024]


Well, anyway, back then life was going swell and everything was juuuust 

PEACH-Y

[]

big bowl of sauerkraut

Every single mornin' - “Weird Al” Yankovic: Albuquerque [1999]


There's no such creature as the so-called '90s man

It's a myth, a lie, an utter fabrication

Every beach boy's waking dream is pornographic gluttony - Long Fin Killie: Love Smothers Allergy [1995]


We're never having fun

The work is never done - Lil Ugly Mane: DISCARD [2021]


The royal family is hiding in the dungeon and they're trapped

'Cause they got nobody on the outside to pay the ransom

Cops and the judges skipped down to go dancing

And the rest of their court has got more gumption than grey matter

Oxen are dead, peasants apathetic

And what's gotta be billed as a strange change of direction

Skip the election, let's hang a successor now

And let his chain sag lower than the motives in a the crowd

Redraw the borders in order to keep the order

Like nobody heard the king whisper his will into his daughter's ear

Years pass by before she gets an apology

That's stiffer than a board but lighter than ideology

Yell it from the rooftop

Sell it from the presidential residence

And let the effigies go up in smoke with the idol

Let 'em all burn in the fire

Do a dance in the aftermath of ash from the fire

[]

You can only be king

If you can sing a song for the sake of the paper trail

The blood money's printed on

[]

the inhabitant

Of one's man kingdom is another man's extravagant puzzle - No Bird Sing: Legal Blood Money [2009]


Dethink To Survive - McClusky: Dethink To Survive [2002]


A revolution in Belarus

I'll put my energies to other use - Drug Church: Piss & Quiet [2022]


Because there’s gotta be something more

Than lying in the front yard, naked, screaming at the constellations

I want something more than an apology to say

When I look the world in the eye

I’ll tell you, man, my friend William came to me with a message of hope

It went: “Fuck you and everything that you think you know

If you don’t step outside the things that you believe

They’re gonna kill you.”

He said: “No one's gonna stop you from dying young and miserable and right!

If you want something better, you gotta put that shit aside.”

I thought about how for thousands of years

There have been people who told us that things can’t go on like this

From Jesus Christ to the Diggers, from Malthus to Zerzan

From Karl Marx to Huey Newton

But the shit goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on

On and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on - Pat The Bunny: From Here Till Utopia (Song for the Desperate) [2011]


Oh, Aletta you have such nice skin - Self Defense Family: Aletta [2013]


You deserve so much happiness
You deserve so much more than this

You deserve so much more than this - I Hate Sex: San Francisco [2015]


If you're happy, I'm happy

If you're happy, I'm happy

If you're happy, I'm happy

If you're happy, I'm happy - Self Defense Family: Dingo Fence [2013]
