Dig this! I did a similar-ish one called Holdout Humans, and a Soundclouder called SpukShreibMaschine did a great one called Jeff Bezos, reposted on my page.

Thoughtful... and very funny! And quite sad - but still funny.

The slow death of a hard drinking ladies man
Lyrics:
After all these years of drinking in this place
They still haven't change the carpet
On that plywood stage
If you want to know about my fall from grace
Just read the roadmap
And the lines on my face
 I'm a post-modern
Existential
Drunk
I use to love the ladies until the sun came up
Not reading books!
Being handsome  is so much harder than it looks

(Chorus)Oh, I don't mean to boast
Your drinking with a good looking ghost
Out looking better than most
The curse of a good looking ghost

The ladies they say Shade:
"When you hit 30, that hard living going to catch up with you"
All that drinking
The pills and the thrills
So I gave up on the sauce
But it  made me so angry
Like devil meeting his new boss
(Chorus)

Satin sheets
You know that I've been down many of the wrong streets
I'm full of medicine
And my bullshit
The ladies seems
So reticent
Hospital wishes
Horoscope kisses
Avoiding the Mr
Of the Mrs
The curse of a good looking ghost
Who knew being handsome is harder than it looks?

Curse Of A Good Looking Ghost

Words Escape Me

Every year it seem like things are getting worse
Pretty soon we’ll all have to escape to the metaverse
With a pair of virtual reality goggles strapped on your head
You won’t even realize that all the plants and animals are actually dead

You can suit up in your avatar and always try to look your best
You can give yourself big muscles even if you have a puny chest
You can live like a cro magnon in a dark and dirty cave
You don’t have to wear deodorant
 you don’t need to shower or shave

Every year it seem like things are getting worse
Pretty soon we’ll all have to escape to the metaverse

We’ll all live below the surface and never see the light of day
And as long as we have our VR goggles everything’s going to be okay
Mark Zuckerberg’s working really hard to make sure that VR sells
Pretty soon we’ll be living like those mole people in the time machine by HG wells

Like those people in the matrix 
Floating in tanks with electrodes strapped to their heads
Going through life thinking it’s real but everything is virtual instead.

Every year it seem like things are getting worse
Pretty soon we’ll all have to escape to the metaverse
With a pair of virtual reality goggles strapped on your head
You won’t even realize that all the plants and animals are actually dead

Sea monkey’s are just brine shrimp 
Easier to take care of than a pet chimp
You just buy a kit and that’s pretty much it
Much less work than a cat a dog or a pony
But those pictures that they put on the box are definitely phony

Sometimes it feels like we’re just a bunch of sea monkeys living in a jar
Living on this great big rock orbiting a star
We pray to God for assistance but what if he’s just a little boy
And this world that we live on is just his latest toy

What if we’re living in some kid’s jar and the sun is a lightbulb
It’s not really a star
What if every time the human race takes it on the chin
There’s some kid looking down staring with a silly grin

Eight billion humans on the planet earth and we’re all trying to get by
I wonder if those sea monkeys knew the truth would they still even try

Did he sprinkle some eggs in the water and wait for the fun to begin
Did he watch he watch us fight our wars and root for the good guys to win
When the black death raged in the thirteenth century and good  people started to die
And he saw all that pain and and suffering
did it ever make him cry

Eight billion humans on the planet earth and we’re all trying to get by
I wonder if those sea monkeys knew the truth would they still even try

Eight billion humans on the planet earth and we’re all trying to get by
I wonder if those sea monkeys knew the truth would they still even try

Sea monkey’s are just brine shrimp 
Easier to take care of than a pet chimp
You just buy a kit and that’s pretty much it
You just buy a kit and that’s pretty much it

Sea Monkeys In A Jar

If you feel like you’re getting old way before your time
And you’re shouting at kids to get off your lawn
And you’re sitting around just doing time
And you’re always complaining about how the good old days were so much better. Maybe you should take a journey to the past. 

The average human  lifespan in 1901 was 46.3
If you'd been around way back then, you'd be history.
If you lived in 1800 your dentist didn’t use Novocain
He  just drilled holes in your teeth while you tried to ignore the pain

If humans are still around in 2093
They’ll be thinking that that the here and now was the place to be 
I guess it’s human nature to think that the past was great
When you’re living in the present there’s so much you can hate

You could ride a bike with a banana seat with no helmet to protect your brain. You didn’t need to go through a metal detector before you got on a plane.

You could smoke cigarettes at work while sitting at your desk
And it didn't matter if your coworkers found the smell grotesque.

They say that if human’s destroy themselves 
The cockroaches will survive
They’ll evolve and gain intelligence and without us they will thrive
And someday they’ll look back to the days when they were sprayed by humans with raid
And they’ll think those were the good old days we had it made

People out there longing for the days when we didn’t have consumer protection
Whenever something went wrong they just chalked it up to natural selection
They say those were the good old days cause at least we were free.
They say those were the good old days cause at least we were free.

Good Old Days ?

I’m a two legged no solicitation sign
I don’t need to buy your stuff
I’m doing just fine
I’m not interested in hearing about your pitch
I don’t care if you say you can make me rich
I’m not interested in buying what you’re selling
There’s something fishy that I’m smelling
They say there’s a sucker born every minute
This feels like a scam and I’m not stepping in it

All these people out there interested in
Selling things, I’m not buying
But every single day even when I say no,
they keep right on trying

My phone numbers on the do not call list
but the telemarketers can’t seem to resist
They call me at work 
They call me at home
What I really want is to be left alone
I’m on my exercise bike and I hear the door bell
There’s a guy out there with something to sell
I’m covered in sweat and I’m breathing hard
And he wants to hand me his business card

All these people out there interested in
Selling things, I’m not buying
But every single day even when I say no,
they keep right on trying

I just want to stream videos on my phone
Don’t need those spam calls please leave me alone
I just want to stream videos on my phone
Don’t need those spam calls please leave me alone

They say your car warranties about to expire
And the price of repairs keeps getting higher
you can give your credit card over the phone
To a random stranger from the comfort of home
These infomercials on your TV
They tell you how great your life can be
For just four easy payments you can buy a new blender
You can make fruit smoothies to recover from a bender.

All these people out there interested in
Selling things, I’m not buying
But every single day even when I say no,
they keep right on trying

I just want to stream videos on my phone
Don’t need those spam calls please leave me alone
I just want to stream videos on my phone
Don’t need those spam calls please leave me alone

No Solicitation Song

Elvis in the 1970’s in his jumpsuit and his cape.
Some say he didn’t really die he just decided to escape.
Over the year’s there’ve been sightings like Bigfoot and UFO’s.
Of Elvis shopping at Walmart dressed in ordinary clothes.

They say it’s good to be king – but sometimes maybe it’s not.
When you’re coasting on your past glory and now, you’re lukewarm instead of hot.

If Elvis was still alive, he’d be approaching the century mark.
He’d be a tired old hound dog - would he still be able to bark.
If he put on a pair of blue sued shoes and he tried to shake his hips.
And he strummed his guitar on a street corner would people give him any tips.

They say it’s good to be king – but sometimes maybe it’s not
When you’re coasting on your past glory and now, you’re lukewarm instead of hot
There’s day’s when you feel like you’re trapped in a routine 
And you’re going through the motions and you want to start fresh and clean.

Somewhere between 1968 and 1977 Elvis took a detour and he ended up in Heaven.
It’s  nice to imagine that maybe he was sick of sick and tired of all that fame.
And one day he just decided to retire from playng the game.

If he sang that song love me tender would it till make the young women swoon.
Or would they stare at him with curiosity like at the zoo when  you see a baboon.
If he put on the  black leather costume that he wore in 1968 
And he played the same set list would people still think he was so great?

Elvis in Black leather in 1968 strumming his guitar he looked so good
And his voice was really great.
At the top of his game in perfect form he could have stopped right then
He could have walked away - still would have still been a rock and roll legend

They say it’s good to be king – but sometimes maybe it’s not
When you’re coasting on your past glory and now, you’re lukewarm instead of hot.
They say it’s good to be king – but sometimes maybe it’s not
When you’re coasting on your past glory and now, you’re lukewarm instead of hot

Lukewarm King

Like a Jedi in Star Wars, I sense a disruption.
That suddenly you’re immune to my seduction. 
I don’t need a Yoda to tell that me something’s wrong.
Like superman and Lois - now I feel like Clark Kent
I don’t know where the passion went.
I wish that life was as simple as a comic book story.

I used to be your superhero but now I’m just another zero
Don’t know how things ended up this way

Don’t need Spidey sense to tell me something’s wrong.
You’re transmitting signals - I’m receiving them very strong.
Like Superman and Kryptonite something doesn’t feel right.
Wish we could go back to the way things used to be.

Like Batman and Robin, we made a good team 
But suddenly we just ran out of steam.
And I’m searching for your bat signal but all I see is dark skyLike the incredible hulk after he transforms back
Like David Banner I feel out of whack
My clothes aren’t in tatters, but it feels like my heart is shredded

I used to be your superhero but now I’m just another zero
Don’t know how things ended up this way.
I used to be your superhero but now I’m just another zero
Don’t know how things ended up this way
