Go on, get it over with
I had no preconceptions
It’s not as if we’re fucking married
There’s nothing to protect me from
We’re all dying constantly
It’s just the rate of acceleration that varies
This stereo doesn’t have a pause button
No, no – you’ve gotta push “stop”
That is, unless you like the music
I’m dried up, shriveled up
Suffocated in my own blankets
What meaning might you try to intuit?
I’m giving you permission to dig my grave
Just a little bitty push and I can abdicate
The responsibility
The responsibility
Of my own end
You never wanted change
Sorry that I fucked you over
Never wanted to feel this way
Sorry that I fucked you over
So let’s slut it up, let’s slut it up
Get me drunk; it’s not that hard
Peek up under that skirt, baby, ooo
Do you like it? Do you like it?
Well hey, you could have had it
Push on up baby; make it drip on down me
I’m giving you permission to dig my grave
Just a little bitty push and I can abdicate
The responsibility
The responsibility
Of my own end
You never wanted change
Sorry that I fucked you over
Never wanted to feel this way
Sorry that I fucked you over

Am I Woke Yet?
01:19

Am I woke yet?
Am I woke yet?
Am I woke yet?
Am I woke yet?
I’m a straight boy
Male feminist
Let me tell you all about the struggles of women
Wait, wait, hold up
If I could just interrupt
Let me talk over you
Let me talk over you
I know what I’m talking about
I know what I’m talking about
Am I woke yet?
Am I woke yet?
Am I woke yet?
Am I woke yet?
I’m a white girl
I’m so energized
The Women’s March was my first protest ever
Folks of color have it bad
Am I allowed to say “black”?
Let me talk over you
Let me talk over you
I know what I’m talking about
I know what I’m talking about
Am I woke yet?
Am I woke yet?
Am I woke yet?
Am I woke yet?
I don’t know what I’m talking about
I don’t know what I’m talking about
I don’t know what I’m talking about
What does “LGBT” stand for?

I Wish Cher Were My Mom

I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
Well I was born two months
After Cher released Heart of Stone
And she sang to me all my life
‘Til I was grown
Life is hard for a deep-voiced girl
So much seemed to go wrong
But when I listen to her voice
I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
She’d be proud of me
Just like she is of Chaz
She’d support me
No matter who I am
When things got tough
She’d Take Me Home
We’d sing together all weekend long
Don’t give a damn who’s my dad
But I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
Do you believe?
I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom
I wish Cher were my mom

Something Simple
03:05
|

Well, I don’t mean to sound too bitter
And I don’t mean to be no fun
I know it’s just a big distraction
And everything’s been said and done
So step into the role
Buckle up: it’s time to lose control
And they told me
“Make something simple”
And they told me
“Make something fresh
“You’ve got to
“Make something snappy
“You lose me
“If it’s too complex”
I guess it’s grown into obsession
It used to just be an escape
I guess I took the wrong direction
I thought you maybe could relate
But I will play my part
Sing along; you know the words by heart
And they told me
“Make something simple”
And they told me
“Make something fresh
“You’ve got to
“Make something snappy
“You lose me
“If it’s too complex”

Just Like a Pill
04:16
|

I’m lying here on the floor
Where you left me
I think I took too much
I’m crying here
What have you done?
I thought it would be fun
I can’t stay on your life support
‘Cause there’s a shortage in the switch
Can’t stay on your morphine
‘Cause it’s making me itch
Said I tried to call the nurse again
But she’s being a little bitch
I think I’ll get out of here
Where I can run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear, you’re just like a pill
Instead of making me better
You’re making me ill
You’re making me ill
I haven’t moved from the spot
Where you left me
Must be a bad trip
And all the other pills
They weren’t different
Maybe I should get some help
I can’t stay on your life support
‘Cause there’s a shortage in the switch
Can’t stay on your morphine
‘Cause it’s making me itch
Said I tried to call the nurse again
But she’s being a little bitch
I think I’ll get out of here
Where I can run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear, you’re just like a pill
Instead of making me better
You’re making me ill
You’re making me ill

Well you take your blood money
Love your semi-automatic
Hush, hush, ‘til the red dries to brown
Well I hope you still love it
With your mouth ‘round the barrel
Suck it down, old man, suck it down
All you motherfuckers
Are gonna get what you deserve
It won’t be that much longer ‘til you die
You may kill me first
But death won’t be the worst
Thing you evil fucking pigs made me survive
Pretty soon you’re all gonna die
Try to criminalize me
Out of existence
Oh, we just won’t talk about it
We’ll get the last laugh
When you disappear
Until then: eat this
All you motherfuckers
Are gonna get what you deserve
It won’t be that much longer ‘til you die
You may kill me first
But death won’t be the worst
Thing you evil fucking pigs made me survive
Pretty soon you’re all gonna die
