Rock Shirtless

You know a lot about politics 
& I know a lot about nothing 
But you had a teacher 
& I guess that I'm just good at blushing 

Was any of it ever true? 
Or was I just an easy person to apologize to? 
You talked until your face turned blue 
I think I was just your substitute 

& I am frightened 
About who will come next 
What will they think about me 
I have an opinion on every ex 

Well I can't wait to move out 
Onto the streets or Noonan's couch 
That's my only way out 
It was always 
It was always your house 


Remember the day we went to the river? 
You convinced me to bring my guitar 
I liked you enough to look like a douchebag 
Now I like you enough but not where you are 

'Cause you are above me 
And you always will be 
You stay there just for fun 
'Cause you, you, you... 

Remember the day we went to the graveyard? 
I got drunk & fell off of my bike 
I think that was the first day that I loved you 
& About the only one I liked 

It's hot and I hate everything 
I'm always hurt or in my head 
But the weather is not changing 
& We, we are all dead 

but that's just immature, it's just plain juvenile 
at least I got a direction, not just on the run 
but you were waitin' to say it for awhile 
'cause you, you, you... 


I've been a whiny little bitch 
Since the day you left 
& I've had cigarette smoke 
coming in and out of every breath 

I cannot believe 
That I'm still singing this song 
From the way I've been complaining you would think 
that something's actually wrong 
(and that'll come later) 

Let's call it a night 
Maybe call it a year 
At least call it an end to what 
Nobody wanted to hear 

'Cause there is nothing profound 
In anything I've spoken 

& there is nothing unique in 
getting your heart broken 

I'm sorry 

If you ever hear this

Babe

Ow, My Tiny Heart

I used to want to be a boy scout 
Three fingers up 
I'd want to say no, though I'd love to, 
I've obligations and such 

Now I take anything 'gets passed around, 
Shovel it all in my mouth 'till I feel the ground 
My friends complain I'm nowhere to be found 


See now I want to be a gangster 
With both middle fingers up 
I want to rob banks 
and say things 
like I don't give a Fuck 

Which Scorsese movie ended up doing me wrong? 
To make me want to live like it's the end of the song 
I don't believe I was ever that strong 

Well I want it 
I want it  

I'm sorry I did that 
It's not something you take back 

I'm sorry my friend 
& I'm sorry that I'll do it again

Trash & Other Places You Go When You Die

All these goddamned creeps! 
Still losing sleep 
Over him over her 
for you and for me 

If I had my way 
I'd make 'em see 
There's a way to be away 
There's a way to not be 
To not be! 

I'm gonna drink your milkshake! 
Well she can't watch that movie anymore. 

'Cause every single night 
she's drinkin' or she's cryin' on the floor 

Well it's been six months 
and he's still fuckin' with her head 

I want him dead I want him dead I want him dead 
I want him dead I want him dead 
Dead

There Will Be Blood 2

I miss my baby 
Every single day 
& By the night time the feeling 
Still ain't gone away 

I've gotta find a job again this 
one's running out 

I've gotta stop getting drunk so much 
I've gotta sleep but not pass out 

Oh, Mom and Dad, I don't know where you went wrong 
But your boy's grown up to be a 
Country song 

I had a plan 
I had a dream 
I had the glow 
I had the gleam 
Well, the plans they all caught fire 
& the dreams they turned to ash 
& the Microphones never made as much 
Money as Johnny Cash 
When I was just a young boy 
My Mpmma told me, son, 
Always be a kind soul, don't you ever hurt no one, 
Well I, 
I was doing pretty good! 
I was doing just fine! 
Then reality caught up & changed my mind 

Now I'm 

Shit out of luck 
Shit out of everything 
I need 

I need love 
I need money 
I need whiskey 
I need beer 
I need 
A job that gets me enough to put me in the clear 
I need girls 
I need sex 
I need something to make me less derpressed 
I need more money 
I need more money 
I need more money 
So I can buy some weed 
& Some dinners 
To take girls on dates 
So I don't have to masturbate 
I don't want to jack off I want to get laid 
Take her home to my folks say hey I'm doing great

Country Song

I'm getting horns 
I feel 'em growing 
I'm hoping the difference in my midriff 
Ain't showing 

If it is I'll try my best to just fake it 
While I repeat "Hey guys, we're all gonna make it". 

I can't be happy 
I won't allow it 
Something good comes my way 
Try my best to disembowel it 

It's in my nature makes me run around naked 
While I repeat "Hey guys, we're all gonna make it!" 

& Everybody wants to get up early 
Well I've got problems I've no name for 
But I want everything that's in this world 
Just so long as it's already paid for 

Because money don't come easy 
But hey man, at least I do 


You need motivation 
Need motivation to walk in this world with a grin 
My motivation? 
I find in the pile of shit I'm in 
There's no need to worry 
You can't fall far when you're always on the floor 
Give me failures give me disappointments 
Give me tragedy on tragedy I'll tell you that I want more 
I want more

Roll Credits

Thus Sprach Andre

'Cause if I'm not playing shows at a half filled bar 
or getting kicked out when I take it too far 
I'm going back to school & I'm selling my guitar 
Bye, boys, bury me in the backyard 
& have fun 
Such fun 

So who's going in on a bag of bad blow? 
Let's do it all before we even hit the show 
Don't know about you but that's what I call rock 'n' roll 
All the squares in the back all going "No, no, no, no, no, no" 
Have fun 
Such fun 


I hope everyone here dies of natural causes 
Or at least cancer or AIDS or the plague or some other disease 
A car accident could even work 
Just so long as it's nothing that'd ever give others some peace 
& now I'm always nervous when I should be at ease 
'Cause you never know the next time you're going to be saying "No, please" 

& I just wish in the end that there was somebody else to blame 
& I just wish he didn't believe that that's what he became 
& I was doing my best to leave out all of the names 
But it's the names & the faces that keep me from doing the same 

I remember David calling me and asking if I heard something weird 
I remember calling Leland 'cause I figured that he'd want to hear
I remember asking Jack, "Is what I just heard true?" 
He texted back 
"Yeah dude." 
I remember joking with Noonan & every joke it turned to a riot 
I remember Kat walking in, the room got so fucking quiet 
I remember Walt wailing, "He was everybody [there's] best friend!" 
I remember Pete going "I know" again and again 
This'll happen again and again

People Having Fun (Not Really)

People Having Fun 
People Having Fun 
People drink their drinks, 
People get too drunk 
People in the bathroom 
People at the door 
"Hey, can I get some more?" 
People hating people throwing up 

People go to parties 
People go to church 
People go out dancing 
People gotta work 
People make decisions 
People get 'em wrong 
People still play along 
People making 
People throwing up 

People having fun 
People having fun 
People having fun 
People having fun 
People hating people throwing up 
& People thrown out 
Makes people want to die 

I think we'll all go to hell 
'Cause we drink too much & we don't speak well 
We are the rowdiest troupe of rogues that you've ever seen 

Watch us sit around and pretend we're smart 
While we laugh at other people's art & 
Sometimes we're nice, but mostly we're mean 

Now all my friendships they just feel so wrong 
We're only hanging out here 'cause somebody's gone 
& I was unhappily unsurprised to find out it was true 

I've been faking sick, I've been losing sleep 
& it's nice enough to make a man weep 
But I don't weep, how 'bout you? 

People having fun 
People having fun 
People eating food & hugging everyone 
People telling stories 
People telling lies 
People drink their drink & 
People dry their eyes 
People having fun we're 
really having fun 
Just watch us jump for joy & 
Watch us love your gun 
I swear to god you guys we're 
Really having fun 
That statement goes for everyone 


& I am an asshole 
For even bringing this up 
There's people in this audience 
More affected by all of this 'stuff' 
But I had to do something 
& I'm sorry it's a song 
I told you fuckers earlier 
There would be something actually wrong 
& by the time I'm twenty five 
There'll be an overdose, another suicide 
But I'm along for the ride

Sophomore album, Foul, out now on Medical Records.

Don Babylon churns out drunk, sad rock ‘n’ roll in between kitchen shifts and last call. 

Will Toledo of Car Seat Headrest called it, "one of the best albums of 2017" and one review compared it to a punk Elvis Presley. The album tackles suicide & substance abuse with the wry wit of a barstool prophet. Following the completion of their first national tour, in 2018 the band moved to Philadelphia.  Their sophomore album, Foul, is available now via Medical Records
