Standing in the station
Holding up placards
Making introductions
Bored and beautiful
No need for small talk
Just follow the instructions
Keeping it simple
Six little words
Don’t need no conjunctions
They got the looks
They got the taffeta
They got the gumption
BRIDGE
Pretty people got all the money
Yr just holding it until they need it
So you might as well hand it over
What’s the matter buddy, can’t you read?
CHORUS
Give us money, we are pretty x 4
Is it the First World?
Is it the Third World?
Is it a prank?
Is it performance art?
Is it political?
Is it something you drank?
It doesn’t matter
Just give them something
They can put in the bank
Simple transaction
Just hand them yr cash
They won’t even say thanks
BRIDGE
Album cover waiting to happen
Real or fake, it’s nothing new
If you want the pretty, you gotta pay
and that says less about them than it does about you
CHORUS
Give us money, we are pretty x 8
Truth is beauty
Beauty is power
Power is truth
Up in yr face
Like twin soothsayers
Saying the sooth
Beauty adds value
In a society
Obsessed with youth
They know the deal
And they got yr money
So there goes yr proof
BRIDGE
Album cover waiting to happen
It’s just the truth fresh-frozen for two
They hold the cards and they hold the power
How much you give them is up to you
CHORUS
Give us money, we are pretty x 12

He’s too skinny, She’s too fat
Look at the losers, Looking like that
That’s too small, That’s too big
You can’t win, The game is rigged
Everyone says that looks don’t matter
But we insult each other when we start getting fatter
Throwing other people’s feelings under the bus
Just in case they try to do it to us
BRIDGE
Nobody’s perfect and neither are you
We could change it right now and we know what to do
But we’re too afraid of what the neighbors will think
To break the chain and rewrite the link
CHORUS
We hate ourselves, That’s a fact
Don’t know what we’re missing, But we want it back
Can’t live with the fact that we don't look like that
So all we do is hold each other back
VERSE
Selling ourselves and each other short
I’ll see you in hell or I’ll see you in court
Tearing down people less perfect than you
To bump yr own ego up a notch or two
We keep falling for the same old traps
That we set for ourselves and dropped in our own laps
Reinforcing standards we can never attain
Unless yr loaded, lucky or have no shame
BRIDGE
Nobody’s perfect and neither are you
We could change it right now and we know what to do
But we’re too afraid of what the neighbors will think
To break the chain and rewrite the link
CHORUS
We hate ourselves, That’s a fact
Don’t know what we’re missing, But we want it back
Can’t live with the fact that we don't look like that
So all we do is hold each other back
VERSE
Too skinny too fat too bad
It could have been the best thing you ever had
We've lost the plot, we’re off the rails
We’ve bottled our vanity and put it on sale
Would you rather be lonely than settle for less
When less is really more – but I digress
Beauty sex and love is right where you find it
Conformity’s the barrier, don’t hide behind it
BRIDGE
Nobody’s perfect and neither are you
We could change it right now and we know what to do
But we’re too afraid of what the neighbors will think
To break the chain and rewrite the link
CHORUS
We hate ourselves, That’s a fact
Don’t know what we’re missing, But we want it back
Can’t live with the fact that we don't look like that
So all we do is hold each other back

Who Moved My Cheese?
04:02
|
|||
Who moved my cheese? It was right here a minute ago
I know, because that’s where I always keep it
Now it’s over there and now I gotta move it back
What’s the point of cheese if someone’s just gonna move it?
BRIDGE
Oooooooooohhhh oooohh! Never move another man’s cheese
Oooooooooohhhh oooohh! Never move another man’s cheese
Who moved my cheese? Does it matter? Yes it does!
Was it her? Was it him? Was it you? Was it them?
Used to be a time when people left yr cheese alone
HEY! While I was singing that, somebody went and moved it again
BRIDGE
Oooooooooohhhh oooohh! Never move another man’s cheese
Oooooooooohhhh oooohh! Never move another man’s cheese
CHORUS
I want cheese! (You can’t have it cos it’s gone)
Where did it go? (I dunno! I dunno!)
Bring me my cheese! (Put it back where you found it)
This ain’t no science project
Cheese isn’t just an object
Are we men or are we mice?
Moving cheese just isn’t very nice!
[BREAK]
Who moved my cheese? This is really inconvenient
Stupid cheese movers! Man, there oughta be a law!
How would you like it if I came to yr place
and moved yr cheese around? YEAH! That’s what I thought...
BRIDGE
Oooooooooohhhh oooohh! Never move another man’s cheese
Oooooooooohhhh oooohh! Never move another man’s cheese
[CHORUS]:
I want cheese! (You can’t have it cos it’s gone)
Where did it go? (I dunno! I dunno!)
Bring me my cheese! (Put it back where you found it)
This ain’t no science project
Cheese isn’t just an object
Are we men or are we mice?
Moving cheese just isn’t nice!
You know what you are? Yr a cheese mover, baby!
You know what you are? Yr a cheese mover, baby!
You know what you are? Yr a cheese mover, baby!
Never move another man’s cheese!

Screaming Memes

Memes are bullshit
Memes are propaganda
Memes don’t tell the truth
Don’t pass them on
I do not care
What party you vote for
If you forward memes
Then I’m talking to you
Memes are created
To intentionally mislead you
They’re not educational
They just make you stupid
Don't assume they're true
Just because you believe them
If you believe them
Yr a gullible idjit
Memes are bullshit
Memes are propaganda
Memes don’t tell the truth
Don’t pass them on
You probably think
That this song ain’t about you
If you forward memes
Then I’m talking to you
Those memes you keep posting
They’re chock full of nonsense
Or exaggerations
Or misleading statements
And if you repost them
Without fact-checking them
Yr just participating
In yr own manipulation
Memes are bullshit
Memes are propaganda
Memes don’t tell the truth
Don’t pass them on
BREAK
Memes are bullshit
Memes are propaganda
Memes don’t tell the truth
Don’t pass them on
Oh what’s the use
Yr not even listening
I know yr not listening
Because you keep on reposting them
Because it’s easier than thinking
Or doing the research
Anyone can do it
Even your cat
Memes are bullshit
Memes are propaganda
Memes don’t tell the truth
Don’t pass them on
Memes are bullshit
Memes are propaganda
Memes don’t tell the truth
Don’t pass them on

Do The Govt Wonk

INTRO
He spent 20 minutes on the first slide
He spent 20 minutes on the second slide
He spent 20 minutes on the third slide
20 more slides to go!
Oh no!
VERSE 1
Give him one minute, he’ll take twenty
Hope you got the time cos he’s got plenty
He can talk for hours, not say a damn thing
Is anybody here still listening?
BRIDGE
On and on and on he goes
Where he’ll stop nobody knows
Take it easy, make it hard
Dump it all in someone else’s backyard
VERSE 2
He takes his time, he’s a rambling man
He’s got PowerPoint and a 30-point plan
New adventures in minutiae
He could go on like this all day
BRIDGE
On and on and on he goes
Where he’ll stop nobody knows
It happened here and we all know why
This is the best govt money can buy
CHORUS
Do the Govt Wonk
It’s a ministerial sensation
Do the Govt Wonk
Gridlocking the entire nation
BREAK
VERSE 3
He’ll bring yr committee to a grinding halt
If you get bored it’s yr own damn fault
Never met a problem he couldn’t complicate
He’ll get right on it but you gotta wait
BRIDGE
On and on and on he goes
Where he’ll stop nobody knows
This is not an anti-govt song
But it’s easy to see yr doing it wrong
CHORUS
Do the Govt Wonk
If you can’t do it you can always fake it
Do the Govt Wonk
With yr mouth wide open and yr eyes all vacant
Do the Govt Wonk
Laying down the policy in monotone
Do the Govt Wonk
Just keep talking ‘til they leave you alone
Do the Govt Wonk x 8

Let It Suck
03:00
|
|||
When you have a bad day
Or someone makes you mad
You say this really sucks
But why is that so bad
If someone goes down on you
It makes you really happy
Why do you compare it
To a thing that’s really crappy
BRIDGE
So let’s flip it on its head
Make somebody’s day
Accentuate the positive
Join me when I say:
CHORUS
It sucks and I’m happy
It sucks and that’s okay
It sucks and I don’t mind at all
Have a sucky day!
Sucking is a good thing
With the proper attitude
It’s a new philosophy
To suck is always good!
