what do you call it when cell phones make you crazy?
what do you do when cars drive you mad?
how does it work when you don't wanna be employed?
what's permanent culture if you gotta lease the land?
i'll have a virgin rum and coke (i thought you said you hated coke)
that's right tonight I'll stick with rum
and I'll have your most bitter beer (should I just leave the pitcher here?)
yes please I'm not waiting on anyone
though I'm sure they're lots of fun I still do not own a gun
though I hear that guns are all the rage these days
did I just say that out loud? maybe it's the other way around
i hear the rage is all the guns these days
either way I do not mind
it is your right to decide what will protect you in the night
stop me if I get too deep
maybe we'd get better sleep if everyone stopped shooting off their mouths
who shall I cite to prove society is crazy?
who would believe me if I swear to god madness ain't mad?
surely I can find a way to shirk responsibilities
maybe a half-life really ain't half that bad

i don't masturbate 'cause i'm horny i masturbate 'cause i'm bored as fuck
and i have tons of work to do but once again i'll just really on luck
temporary relief is what i depend on
to get me thru the nights to get me thru the days
where nothing seems to go my way
and this thing that you call pleasure
is something I tend not to feel
unless i'm with my family and best friends who keep me believing that it's real
and i don't sleep because I'm tired I sleep because I'm bored as shit
but that's a lie because i'm tired all the fucking time
and i don't eat because i'm hungry i eat because I'm bored as hell
and if you offer me a beer i'll say "sure, i might as well"
and i don't drink because i need it i drink because it's fucking fun
you say i'm fucking up well no one ever asked for your opinion

the gears are broken fuck your revolutions
i want resolve for the sake of evolution 'cause
resolution means we’re finally done here
but if you’re lacking motivation
don’t give up on anarchy it’s liberation i find
salvation doesn’t come from the sky but from your own mind
and jesus christ ain’t an alibi i think he’d be surprised
by the way the terrorize their neighbors and their family and their home
no jesus christ ain’t an alibi i think he’d be surprised
by the way the terrorize their neighbors and their families, and this one home
but when i close my eyes I can understand why
i see so many friends with a shovel in hand
cigarette in their mouth and intention in their hearts
'cause resolution doesn’t come from blaming
a fire never lights when you’re frozen and complaining about
how the government is like a bad landlord
well i’m skinny and cold and fucking hungry
i might be broke as hell but it don’t cost me no money
to go out and take back what belongs to no one
so a pox on your groceries and hail to the shit
let the beasts of the anthropocene inherit this planet
we’re leaving broken and barren because soon it will be covered in food
when the humans step off we can once again at our own food

I wish that this world wasn’t so fucking loud
Wish I could open my window and shout ‘turn it down!’
But yelling at nothing is just a contribution
To the unnecessary noises in this town
Cuz it’s ring ring ring in my ears in the morning
A vroom and a boom in the afternoon
Can’t hear my own thoughts just hear the neighbor’s dog
Hyper and barking locked in the house alone
There had been a time, I once was reminded,
When silence was fine and no one seemed to mind
But now it gets awkward when no one is talking
Not that that seems to happen very often
Sometimes I wear headphones, not because I hate silence
It’s just the outside noises might make me violent
So I’ll quit this shouting match, try and end this song fast
Lock myself in my room and pray all I hear is the rain

We shot the glitter in the sky
We got the glitter on our clothes
And now there’s glitter in our food
Ever since those factories exploded
And the world did sparkle
And the crops did burn
We thought it was no real concern
And the oceans boiled
And our eyes did burn
We thought it was of no concern
But now there’s glitter in the seas
The glitter covers all the trees
It’s in the soil, on the bugs
Hell I’ve got glitter in my lungs
And the world did sparkle
And the forests burned
We thought it was no real concern
And the rivers boiled
And our nostrils burned
We thought it was of no concern
The only creatures to survive
Are the ones that don’t need their eyes
We did it just for the fashion, the fashion
Ever since glamour became passion
And the world did sparkle
And the cities burned
We thought it was no real concern
And the lakes did boil
And our tongues did burn
We thought it was of no concern
There’s glitter in the atmosphere
And will be for one hundred thousand fucking years
The only lesson we did learn
Things that are pretty, and pointless, and useless might be of grave concern
And the world did sparkle
And my brain did burn
They said it was no real concern
And my blood did boil
And my heart did yearn
For someone else who was concerned

I know I outta say some day I’m gonna hitchhike across the USA, but
I just don’t got that urge anymore
And though I still feel like a kid, I spend significantly less time in the moshpit
But at least I still remember what it’s for
It may not be easy and it may not be smart
But the only place I wanna call home is simply where you are
It’s not a radical thought but it comes from the heart
The only place I wanna call home is simply where you are
We can get a great big dog and a great small house
And maybe even a car of our own
We’ll pack up the dog and some sleeping backs
Whoever gets shotgun can stare out the window
And as we drive we’ll decide where it is we wanna go
Maybe Wyoming or maybe Vermont
Find a cheap motel in new mexico
It may not be easy and it may not be smart
But the only place I wanna call home is simply where you are
It’s not a radical thought but it comes from the heart
The only place I wanna call home is simply where you are
We can live simply just maybe not debt free
But I suppose that’s fine with me
Cuz everyday’s an adventure when you’re full of this much love
I highly doubt you’d disagree
It may not be easy and it may not be smart
But the only place I wanna call home is simply where you are
It’s not a radical thought but it comes from the heart
The only place I wanna call home is simply where you are
It may not be easy and it may not be smart
But the only place I wanna call home is simply where you are
It’s not a radical notion but it comes from the heart
The only place I wanna call home is simply where you are

We said nothing, but that said it all
We stood silent it was all way to public, we made that mistake and started again
And I hate those goddamn fucking lightbulbs in the airport
They’re cold and they’re blue and they’re empty and harsh
It’s cliché, like my heart when you’re gone
Whoa
Doo-wop adda do-wop adda do-wop adda do, whoa
Doo-wop adda do-wop adda do-wop adda do
It may not be simple, it may not be smart, but where I call home is simply where you are
It may not be simple, it may not be smart, but where I call home is where you are
Whoa
Doo-wop adda do-wop adda do-wop adda do, whoa
Doo-wop adda do-wop adda do-wop adda do
I’ve started hoarding plants, my family they’ve noticed and they think it’s cute
But those purple bougainvilleas, I know that you like them,
But I just don’t have the space to keep them right now
I promise one day in a house all our own, until then I’ll keep wearing purple
And eat my greens. Ring a ding ding ding ding
Whoa
Doo-wop adda do-wop adda do-wop adda do, whoa
Doo-wop adda do-wop adda do-wop adda do
It may not be simple, it may not be smart, but where I call home is simply where you are
It may not be simple, it may not be smart, but where I call home is where you are
Whoa
Doo-wop adda do-wop adda do-wop adda do, whoa
Doo-wop adda do-wop adda do-wop adda do whoa
Doo-wop adda do-wop adda do-wop adda do, whoa
Doo-wop adda do-wop adda do-wop adda doo-wop for a broken heart

my good friend reid told me what anarchy should really be
he's an anarcho capitalist and i'm still really not sure what that is
but i'm sure i'll learn in time and till then i'll be just fine
when he explained it to me it went a little something like this
if someone asks you for a favor don't expect anything in return
and if you ask someone for a favor just make them dinner
and if you wanna be an alcoholic well then fuck it be an alcoholic
and if you don't wanna drink well that's okay but I disagree

Who the fuck would listen to Raccoon Venom anyway
Who the fuck has time for this fucking bullshit anyway
Who the fuck cares about this goddamn music anyfuckingway
Still I’m gonna pick your brain about the kids these days
Kids these days, more than just a bunch of fucking pricks in gangs
Not just thinking about how their dicks will hang
Some are even trying to fix old mistakes
Kids these days, getting fucked because they can’t make change
I’m an adult, don’t gotta show respect
To some kid making minimum wage
You wanna get a job right now, but you don’t really know how
So you just bounce around until you find the one that sucks less
You wanna get paid someday, should’ve robbed a fucking bank today
If you wanna make bank you should’ve stole a tank
And seen what those motherfuckers did next
Cuz kids these days are smarter than you fucking think
Not everyone wants to be a part of your fucking diabolic scheme
Don’t always got talent or ambition but they always have dreams
Gonna push you aside and live up to their fucking names
You don’t have to listen to Raccoon Venom anyway
Don’t have put up with this fucking bullshit anyway
But I still got fucking faith in the kids these days
I’ll shut the fuck up now cuz that’s all I gotta say

People suck but I like you anyway
You always seem to have something good to say
And I believe you believe what you do could change the world
And for all I know you’re right
People suck but you suck less
You give me hope, that much I’ll confess
Maybe someday you’ll make something of yourself
Or at least you’ll make something of me
People suck but you kind of don’t
Maybe people will notice but they probably won’t
Even if the world crumbles around you
You’ll probably see the good
People suck so you must not be real
But I’ve felt you before and again I will feel
You know how to assure me that all will be fine
And I won’t care if you’re wrong
People suck but you’re a person too
So maybe I really outta feel the fool
For making such a rash generalization
Maybe I’m the one that sucks
Baby I’m the one that sucks

crumble and fall harder than the future of the outlet mall
with a broken belly in a bathroom stall
vomit in his beard leaning up against the wall
they give helmets to crash test dummies he needs a helmet just for drinking
coiled in pain regrets nothing cause he does it just the same
broken glass in my feet from a picture frame
what a shame it’s the sanity that’s driving me insane
who needs food when you’ve got cigarettes?
who needs shoes when you’ve got calluses?
crumble and fall smokin soaken spirits in a shower stall
coiled in pain that’s the name of the game when you’re the one that’s called insane

now i begin to see that i'm lacking creativity
and i haven't lost interest i lost my ability
to think and write critically what is originality?
well i thought i was original but it's all been done before
when i thought i wrote a masterpiece i just wrote another bore
nothing i write is ever good enough for me
it's always questioning my sanity
where is my originality?
some may say that it died long ago
but i still haven't given up hope

On the day he dies many will realize
That was the demise of an inspiration
Though we’ve never met, I’ll feel like I lost a friend
On the day that Pat the Bunny dies
And when he’s really gone I’m sure I’ll write another song
It might be short, it might be long, just like his life
I really hate to gloat, but I’m gonna wreck my throat
Screaming every word he wrote as I sing along
And I’ll go hide in bed, lift my covers over my head
When I find out that Pat the Bunny’s dead
