Complaint Dept.

The best part of being alive
Is gettin to complain about it
The aches and pains
Short shrifts and stains
(Chorus)
You gotta gripe, sob and bitch
Whether your poor
Or your rich
You gotta whine, fret and moan
Whether your together
Or alone
In the best of health
Or at death's door
You gotta say man
I was hoping for more
The best part of being alive
Is gettin to kvetch about it
The meal wasn't good
And what small portions
If God only knew
All of our misfortunes
I fell out my chair
You browned your underwear
She got gum in her hair
And nobody cares
Nobody cares (x4)
(Chorus)
You gotta gripe, sob and bitch
Whether your poor
Or your rich
You gotta whine, fret and moan
Whether your together
Or alone
In the best of health
Or at death's door
You gotta say man
I was hoping for more

Dive bar betty
Yeh yr ugly and mean
Dive bar betty
Got a social disease
Dive bar betty
Spillin out yr blue jeans
Dive bar betty
Yeh yr bustin at the seams
(Chorus)
Dive bar Betty!
Dive bar betty!
Dive bar betty
Think it's more than a hunch
Started at 9, blacked out by lunch
Dive bar Betty
Chase a pabst with a shot
Dive bar Betty
Girl yr slurrin a lot
Dive bar Betty
When you fall off the stool
Dive bar Betty
Use me like a tool

Dirtbag Left
00:47
|
|||
You got upset about workers rights
So you made a podcast where u
Cuss into the mic
The shock jock approach
Isnt funny or cute
You're just a Rush Limbaugh
In flannel and boots
Yr yellin and cursin
And havin some fun
But politically
Youll never get shit done
Yes o yes
Yr the dirtbag left
I know you wanna be cool
With your dismissive attitude

Poor Me RPG
00:38
|
|||
They don't play final fantasy
They play the poor me rpg
Like who has the worst case of ADHD
I dunno about u kids
but I got a bad case of herpes
Suburban whites with strange little names
You make up what's wrong,
It's a weird little game
Nowhere in this song
Am I placing any blame
But could you carry on
Somewhere besides the workplace?

No Curiosity
01:08
|
|||
I got no curiosity
About the natural world
I got no curiosity
About the order of things
I got no curiosity
About what i can't control
I got no curiosity
About man and god and law
I got no curiosity
About a supernatural man
I got no curiosity
About the lay of the land
I got no curiosity
About what's out of my hands
I got no curiosity
About the Son of Sam
All i wanna do is listen to the Tickle
As it syncs up with my mystify screensaver
on Windows 3.1

Highway holocaust
Gotta catch the mini boss
And it dont matter
How many die
While i cruise in style
200 miles an hour
And I never crack a smile
Explosions in my rearview
I'm wearin somethin see thru
Penguin in my headlights
I'm lookin for a bat fight
Chorus:
Highway holocaust
Nobody lives
Except me and the Penguin
For no good reason

With the 3 of wands
Let's get it on
With the four of cups
Lets love to fuck
With the 5 of hearts
6 pack to start
With the 6 of swords
Tell me what yr in for
I drew the fool
And i dropped out of high school
it's cool
