Everything in moderation
Even moderation
Sometimes it’s not both sides
Sometimes it’s cut and dry
Sometimes it’s black and white
Yeah, I’m talking to you
You skittish little fence sitters
Damn right I’m salty as asphalt in winter
At least my ass ain’t full of splinters
At least I don’t just bitch on twitter
You think the center’s always right
Well now it’s right of center
That was no accident
I’d know, cause I’m a fender bender

Save your hate
For the powers that deserve it
And the people who preserve it
And the systems they create
Save your hate
Save your hate

Everything in modulation
~~eVeN mODulaTiOn~~
A butterfly’s wings flap twice and the ice caps capsize
Rose grows and jack dies
Wielding riot shields to deal with the early reflections
Launching tear gas condenser mics like less lethal weapons
Pay the price to keep the peace
ACAB includes the tone police
I know it Stings 
That every breath you take 
Is by the grace of the surveillance state
So don’t let your hate go to waste

Save your hate
For the powers that deserve it
And the people who preserve it
And the systems they create
Save your hate
Save your hate

Ignorance is bliss
Til ignorance meets fists
And the softest of the sophists flinch with my hit-or-miss
Avatar a roman statue, don’t @ you, man, you wish
Any respectable perfectionist would’ve rejected this 
And left it rotting on some hard drive
But I’m less toe-dip and more swan dive
And the water’s dark and dirty
This could be the shallow end
But I haven’t hit my head yet
Or my word count
And I haven’t penned my best verse 
i'm too burned out
I got too lit
You were the ashtray
I smoked the cigarette at both ends almost every day
God damn the USA

forget about your credit score
forget about the next world war
forget the kids born in skid row
forget the bomb that’s bout to blow

dance amnesia dance amnesia dance amnesia dance amnesia
muscles seize up
senses freeze up
anesthesia
never ease up

forget about the lions den
forget about the mayans’ end
forget the password and reset it
forget that you meant to forget it

dance amnesia dance amnesia dance amnesia dance amnesia
muscles seize up
senses freeze up
anesthesia
never ease up

forget about the boys in blue
forget about the poisoned view
forget the feeling something’s wrong
forget the dark forget the dawn

dance amnesia dance amnesia dance amnesia dance amnesia
muscles seize up
senses freeze up
anesthesia
never ease up

DAMNESIA

The baker down the street
Has had a line outside for weeks
He just came back from way out east
With an excess of exquisite recipes 
The sweetest treats you’ll ever eat
And word travels fast in towns like these
The cityfolk flock in, they want something tasty
I saw two men fight for a bite of puff pastry

Just one crumbs enough to stir up a fuss
And the baker keeps cranking out more of the stuff
The hotcakes are selling like hotcakes
The pies fly off the shelves
Not a soul can control themselves

The baker way uptown
Can't quite achieve that pristine golden brown 
And the baker over on the west side
Tries his best but his bread doesn’t rise quite as high
So the two hatch a plan to discover unmask the mystery
Of how their old rival revived his patisserie
"What form of witchcraft or grifting or trickery
Made that man rich while we wallow in misery?"

Just one crumbs enough to stir up a fuss
And the baker keeps cranking out more of the stuff
The hotcakes are selling like hotcakes
The pies fly off the shelves
Not a soul can control themselves

The baker down the street
Is sweating in the endless heat
He’s completely exhausted, his pantry is too
Oh, What’s a poor prosperous baker to do?
Just then, right on time, like a clock on the hour
Two men burst in bearing sugar and flour
"We heard you could use a few ingredients
Our shops are empty, we sure won’t be needing it"

Just one crumbs enough to stir up a fuss
And the baker keeps cranking out more of the stuff
The hotcakes are selling like hotcakes
The pies fly off the selves
Not a soul can control themselves

The baker way uptown
Checks if anyone’s around
And the westside baker tries
To hide the gleam in his eyes
They part ways with a grin 
Back to the kitchen
To bake a cake and get their stories straight
Before the poison kicks in

The Bakers

plague, war, famine, death
plague, war, famine, death
plague, war, famine, death
plague, war, famine, death

there's a pit in my stomach like i swallowed kid icarus
the bitter kiss of liquor twists my slicker quips to gibberish
and there’s a scrawny vulture clawing at the jigsaw puzzle 
in the crumbling carcass of the housing bubble

bad miracles
that's all you do
you pray and you come to
the bad miracles
it's all you do
prey and come to
the bad, the bad, the bad, the bad
go, go, go!

fuck my shit up fam
fuck my shit up, damn
fuck my shit up fam
fuck my shit up, damn

fukkkkkk me up fam

Cheektovegas
Where the rose-colored crabapples fall at your feet
Cheektovegas
Where the cheap Polish lawn flamingos sing you to sleep

Land of milk and honey
Where it rains pierogi
And a fat man with an accordion plays polkas endlessly

Cheektovegas
Where every day is dyngus day and everybody’s a blank-blank-ski
Cheektovegas
Where there’s all you can eat pączki and it won’t cost you a penny

Land of milk and honey
Where it rains crushiki
Where I will be with you and you will be with me
Yeah I will be with you and you will be with me
Cause I will be with you and that sounds like heaven to me

Fear and Loathing in Cheektovegas

The Arctic Tern Song

North Korea’s prepping missile launches
A spoiled child runs wild in the oval office
Tampa Bay is flayed with wind and water
Terrorists stare in mirrors and see martyrs
But Mina Murray died old and happy

There’s 842 million people hungry and 600 million who can’t see their feet
Over 9 million people starved to death last year and 3 million died as a direct result of obesity
Have you ever seen a million people? I don’t think that I have
I don’t have all the answers, I don’t even have close to half
But Mina Murray died old and happy

Gas prices are marginally higher than they were last week
My obliques are not as toned as I’d like them to be
The local LA fitness refuses to install a racquetball court
And my iPhone 7 does not have an aux cord port
But Mina Murray died old and happy
Mina Murray died old and happy
Yes, Mina Murray died old and happy
Yes, Mina Murray survived so many worse things
Woah oh, woah oh, woah oh

Wilhelmina Scream

The credits roll, I look around the theater
Everyone’s bitter but I’ve never tasted something sweeter
Wake up people, why so gloomy
Did we just see the same movie
Are you jealous or purely prejudiced
Is it his purple skin or chiseled chin or selflessness
Children cry and fanboys hate
But Mr. Stark, I feel so great

Cause Thanos did nothing wrong, nothing wrong
He just wanted the best for everyone

Hated by his contemporaries
Because his ideas were too daring
It’s a simple calculus
Half of you will soon be dust
He’s got the baddest grin, the most quotable lines
More screen time than Hulk, Thor and Rocket combined
Words don’t do him justice, I don’t know what else to say
He lowkey takes my breath away

Thanos did nothing wrong, nothing wrong
He just wanted the best for everyone

When he snaps his fingers everyone runs
He’s got eight stones if you count his two biggest ones
He doesn’t do it for money, he doesn’t do it for fun
He does what he does cause it needs to be done
And he loves Gamora
What more do you need to see
To have some sympathy
He’s just like you and me
You see a villain with an axe in his chest
I see a single dad doing his best

Thanos did nothing wrong, nothing wrong
He just wanted the best for everyone

He paid the price
He sacrificed
He lost what he most loved in life
He fed the hungry and ended strife
You know who that sounds a lot like?
Jesus Christ

Thanos did nothing wrong, nothing wrong
Thanos did nothing wrong, nothing wrong
Thanos did nothing wrong, nothing wrong
Thanos did nothing wrong, nothing wrong

Thanos Did Nothing Wrong

Everyone is here, well they most certainly are not
I can think of one guy in particular Nintendo forgot
How can you call a game ultimate when there’s such a glaring flaw in it

Justice for Waluigi

Everyone is here
Well what do you call the last 18 years
One hell of a tennis career
I won’t stop making a racket till Waluigi’s in the bracket
I should have seen the writing on the wahhhhh
It said nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

Justice for Waluigi

How many more fire emblem characters do we need?
No one asked for a mii fighter but you gave us three
Nobody cares about young link or toon link 
Sooner or later you have to face the music

Justice for Waluigi

You stick my man at the back of the class
Turn him into a trophy just to kick his ass
You add insult to injury, add salt to our gash
But you still won’t add Waluigi to Smash
The last glimmer of hope I had has been smacked off the map with a home-run bat
My most grandiose dream is now pushing up Daisy’s

Justice for Waluigi

It won't be a speed run, it won't be an easy climb
But the Smash roster is our Everest and it’s Waluigi’s time

Justice For Waluigi

I was gonna keep my mouth shut until launch
But then you went and tied my hands
Man, I’m not into S&M
I’m just a Waluigi fan
I held out hope, waited to see
I thought that we still had a chance
But now our dreams are dashed
Devoured by a carnivorous plant

Who’s next?
The youngster who likes comfy shorts from Pokemon Red
Ness’ mom, Apple Kid, and Everdred
Every obscure NPC
Seems to have priority


P-I-R-A-N-H-A
Who do you think wants to play as a
P-I-R-A-N-H-A
Who do you think wants to pay for

Pro-piranha propaganda
Lathered in pedantic stanzas
Do you pick fighters at random?
Or are you trolling the fandom?
I’m not mad, just disappointed
You ignore the Lord’s anointed
For a glorified weed
You can keep your DLC

Who’s next?
Tingle, Tom Nook, Birdo, Cheese the Chao?
Hell they might as well add Sans now
Every obscure NPC
Seems to have priority

P-I-R-A-N-H-A
Who do you think wants to play as a
P-I-R-A-N-H-A
Who do you think wants to main a potted plant?

I have a best friend
He isn’t human
But he’s more fun than probably anyone
We go on long walks and have long talks
Well he usually just listens
He’s so good at listening

Your eyes are sad but your tail is happy
And I know it sounds sappy but it’s true
I love you
Do you love me too?
Or do you just want my food?
Honestly, it’s probably a mix of the two

When Bear’s around
There’s not a care to be found
Not a care

I have a best friend
He’s more than human
He’s superhuman and I’m his sidekick
If he’s got an itch then I’ll scratch it
If his favorite squeaky toy rips then I’ll patch it

You never play fetch, but I’ll cut you some slack
Cause when I threw you my heart I didn’t really want it back
I know everyone thinks their doggo’s better than the rest
But listen up, like for real, my dog’s actually the best

When Bear’s around
There’s not a care to be found
Not a care

I’m sorry
I don’t take you for more car rides
Let you chase the UPS guy
Or eat your chew toy’s insides
It’s all for your own good
Like you are for mine
If I gave you a treat each time you made me more complete 
Your belly would be dragging across the concrete

When Bear’s around
There’s not a care to be found

When Bear's Around

I've been panic buying groceries I won't eat
Necessities that I don't need
Who knew there were so many
Medical experts on my feed
I coughed once or twice last week
I cross-checked with WebMD
I suspect that this could be 
More than just an allergy

I could be contagious
I should probably play it safe
It will take great patience
But I’ll do it just in case

Quarantine me
Lock the door and leave me alone
No one visit me at home
Everything has been postponed 
Quarantined!

I’ll finish every game I never beat
Every book I wanna read
Lean to cook rare recipes
From some country overseas
Check on my dead neopets
Lounge around in my best sweats
Isolate and disconnect
Wipe away and disinfect

I could be contagious
I should take one for the team
And state-sanctioned vacation
Sounds like a fourteen day dream

Quarantine me
Lock the door and leave me alone
No one visit me at home
Everything has been postponed 
I’m Quarantined!

Lay in bed for days on end
Leave all my friend’s texts on read
Hope to god they think I’m dead
Soap to god to stop the spread
I’ve been prepping my whole life
I thrive with this kind of strife
Wear a mask and stay inside
My two favorite things collide

I could be contagious
I should make the sacrifice
You call me courageous
But I call it paradise

Quarantine me
Lock the door and leave me alone
No one visit me at home
Everything has been postponed 
Quarantined!
Lock the door and leave me alone
No, don’t even call my phone
Everything has been postponed 
Quarantined!

Quarantined!
