Elvis said he’d rather see you dead
Than with another man
A jealous man doesn’t want to understand
That the lives of his lover’s hands
Are omnipresent
Didn’t Jerry say
That a woman should be trained like a bird dog?
He knows how to lay
But not how to be laid
Because he’s so afraid to ask permission
I heard Johnny killed
Fifty condors on the trail
Oh what a tale!
I guess I never read a thing Carl said
but I’ll tell you what he did
He repeatedly stabbed David Bowie in that film
Damn right he did
It was a weird production

So many people I meet
So many things I see
Make me want to have a vasectomy
Extractivism, Capitalism, Patriarchy
These bullshit human projects don’t appeal to me
If to survive it is to conform
Then my feral child may not be born
The kid friends I keep are so wise and free
I hope to become their chosen family
Generations of creation
No responsibility
All nations and all races gonna feel this thing
If all the signs are gonna be ignored
Then who of our kind will mind the store?

I want my undeveloped prefrontal cortex back
I want to jump from the cliff into Candlewood Lake and make a splash
I don’t want to think about those big rocks
That wait below the surface
To break all my bones
And I don’t want to think of the incoming scars
Don’t wanna pay no mind
I wanna tap my cerebellum and leave the audience in a trance
I want to sing my murder ballad
With a head full of Day-Quil and Jack
I don’t want to think about how my song
Makes homicide romantic
How you can hum along
And I don’t want to think about your scars
Only mine
I don’t want to think of all the racist brainwash
That I should be purging
From the depths of my lobes
I don’t think I want my undeveloped prefrontal cortex back
Sure, the world seemed less repellent
But there’s a deficit of conscious men

The little tent
And the flannel vest
Of the Trimmergrant
Is there
Buried behind the redwood curtain
Of Alderpoint
Where no marijuana grows unprotected
“These are the last vestiges
Of the Wild West”,
He said.
Have you seen me
Or a F250?
Collect the reward
He lived by the code
Code of the mountain goes:
Take the law into your own hands
