TV Land

spent time in a land that’s overrun
by prophecies of what’s to come
and seen that the news is not all grim
but it sure as hell ain’t good
in one burned-out convenience store
people murdered by the score
the horror that i stood before
i had not understood
this sacred show came on
that night at nine
that’s primetime
gather round my children
i’m not familiar with his dialect
so i could be incorrect
but i believe he’s telling me
what’s on tv tonight
this must be some sacred show
that premiered so long ago
for why else would he tell me
what’s on tv tonight?
this sacred show came on
that night at nine
that’s primetime
gather round my children
lo and behold! lo and behold!
it’s on the tv screen
i’m not allowed to see
and when i looked through the window
i could not believe what i’d seen
cell phone towers all aflame
they act as if it were a game
and in their eyes a fire burns
but no one speaks it’s name
i would leave if i were you
i would but i can’t i have work to do
i’m coming close to a breakthrough
and getting near the end
this sacred show came on
that night at nine
that’s primetime
gather round my children
lo and behold! lo and behold!

walking down a side street
and he’s quite a mess
didn’t care where he was going
he was broke til friday
and it was only tuesday
trouble in the workplace
we could not ignore
he showed up late drunk and on pills
reeking badly of cologne and mouthwash
now that he’s been let go
things have settled down
i put in my time, get paid, go home,
kick back and
have a couple tall cans
while i stream some netflix
and i don’t let my problems
interfere with work
this is not to say i’m proud
in fact it’s a little bit sad
there’s still time
i’ve got time
i’ve got time
there’s still time
i’ve got time
i’ve got time
that’s what i tell myself
when i crack open another can
woke up the next morning
rent check’s in the mail
got to work on time,
the day went slowly by and after
went to dinner with the mother-in-law
and i don’t let my problems
interfere with work

Parkings Lots
03:44

what are these thoughts?
where are they coming from?
in parking lots
hear the fluorescent lights
humming off key
how can it be that there’s
no place to park?
weeping and driving
how am i supposed to feel?
somebody tell me what’s wrong
so many cars
no one to drive them
they park and they leave
as far as i can see
they don’t return
tried to talk to them
but they won’t respond
how am i supposed to feel?
somebody tell me what’s wrong
guess i’ll follow them
over to yonder kiosk
information
help desk help me now
what did she say?
i can’t remember
and how could i be
so overconfident
i’m going back
back to the help desk
cause i need to ask
i know just what to say
how am i supposed to feel?
somebody tell me what’s wrong
how am i supposed to feel?
somebody tell me what’s wrong
yes i’ll follow them over to yonder kiosk

Distant Lands
04:40

in distant lands
i followed commands
my hunger’s pain
just in my brain
in distant lands
there’s nothing but sand
but still we went
where we were sent
must stay awake
til my shift change
what was that noise?
sounds like a voice
below dune’s crest
with heaving chest
hidden from sight
in the dead of night
below the sky
barren and vast
a sudden cry
is stifled fast
comrades in arms
paid to do harm
are on their way
there’s no escape

Normal Dressed Man
03:49
|
|

just the other day
i saw a man
dressed in plain clothes
and at first glance
he did not seem too out of place
but then i looked at him again
his headphones on
he bobbed his head
but something’s wrong
they’re not plugged into anything
just dangling
i was set adrift
upon a raft
of waiting room chairs
upon the polyester sea
of bluish-grey carpeting
i’m panicking filling out forms
and then there’s more
there’s always more
i need more time
but time is up
so they deduct some of my points
is this a game?
no it’s not
is this a game?
no it’s not
is this a game?
no it’s not
yes it’s not
no it is
is this a game?
no it’s not
is this a game?
no it’s not
is this a game?
no it’s not
yes it’s not
no it is

look at my face
how does it look?
i’m on a train
leaving my home
i killed a dog
it was taking up space
don’t take a bath
the hot water’s broke
train conductor take me away
away from this place
away from my pets
animals looking inside the train
go away
what is this train?
why am i here?
now that i’m here
i have nothing to hide
train conductor take me away
away from this place
away from my pets
animals looking inside the train
go away

Billboards
04:07

|

billboards are talking to me
telling me i should be free
free from control of my brain
free from my varicose veins
and i know they’re right
and they can say anything
and they will say anything
then cash for gold came to me
stole all my wife’s jewelry
took all the money i made
spent on mike’s hard lemonade
and i know it’s right
and i can say anything
and i will say anything
i
want
my
…
doritos i know they’re nice
and they can taste like anything
and they will taste like anything

Evil is Real

evil is real
i’ve made a choice
i am not going to leave my room
my fate is sealed
i’ve made the choice
i will buy all my things on the web
there are men that i used to know
there are things that i used to say
in the new times
there will be new words
for old things
evil is real
it’s on my mind
i’m thinking of what’s for dinner tonight
and if you ask
i’ll say i’m alright
i won’t recall anything at the end of the night
there are men that i used to know
there are things that i used to say
evil is real

there is some gum
there is some gum on

there is some gum on my new carpet
there is some gum on my new carpet
how did this gum get on my carpet?
there is some gum on my new carpet
there is some wine on my duvet
there is some wine on my duvet
how did this wine get on my duvet?
there is some wine on my duvet
fertilizer bomb
blow that shit up
i don’t want it unless it’s perfect
