Jenni you know I want to be your lover
Your heart and your mind I want to discover
Your secret refrains I want to uncover
So if your man ain’t home, I’d like to come over
Jenni you know I want to be the answer
When the question is who can truly romance ya
I’ve got no car and my wallet’s empty
But we can walk downtown on this cool Fall evening
From the liquor store, I stole a fifth of whiskey
We can pass it back and forth and discuss your feelings
About your old man’s lack of understanding
Then we can make love in the abandoned bank building
I’ll walk you back before your man gets home
You say he’ll be drunk and you’ll still be alone
When he passes out, just pick up the phone
Dial my mom’s number, I’ll be dozin’ on her couch
(CHORUS)
Oh, Jenni with the sad brown eyes
Bleached blonde, wide hips, servin’ chicken thighs
Jenni with the distant chapped smile
Works the dayshift at the Denny’s off of 35
Jenni, O Jenni
Won’t you leave your man and love me
Jenni, O Jenni
I’ll never ask for you to serve me
Jenni, O Jenni
I know we’re both so lonely
Jenni, O Jenni,
My mom said you could move in for a while

Christian scum
If Jesus was real he'd take your gun
Make you suck the barrel hon
Pull the trigger, God's only son
Christian scum
Christian scum
You're not the only one
There's nazis and fascists
Soaking up the same sun
I'd blot it out
Christian scum
Christian scum
If God were real he'd strike you dumb
Deaf and blind, then a flood would come
Flush away yr hate, eradicate your faith
Christian scum

Punishment
01:55

You allowed yourself to be compromised by hostiles. You let them use your weakness and fear against yourself, then turned it against your family, your neighbors, your town, your city, your country. Your world. You must be held accountable for what you have done. You are responsible for letting the hostiles take control of your mind. Even if you weren't in your right mind after that, you are still responsible for the original sin of not thinking for yourself. For not thinking about other people. And for this sin you must be judged. I am the judge. I find you guilty. And your punishment must fit the crime. Think of all the needless death and suffering you have caused, with your banal beliefs, your lack of critical thinking, your paltry excuses for why you. Said. Yes. Meditate on that while your punishment is fufilled. Your punishment is beginning now, now and forever...

I'm A Salesman

I’m just a salesman
Makin’ deals all the time
What’s my rates well never you mind
But if you could just sign on that dotted line
Your life will be improved in record time
(CHORUS)
I’m a salesman
Yeh that’s what I am
I’m a salesman
Some folks don’t understand
I’m a salesman
Well I do what I can
To get you the best deal in this whole land
People ask me what do I sell
I sell security, and forgiveness as well
I could sell you a car, or the Brooklyn Bridge
But what I’m really providin’ is a reason to live
(CHORUS)
I’m just a salesman, for 25 years
I help em with their payment
And take em out for beers
Some of em end up happy
And some end up sad
And some may end up a little mad
Well I completely understand
And I don’t mean to be a jerk
But you shoulda read the fine print on the paperwork
