Iterations
I mustn't know a thing
about anything I say
Why do I ever speak
Why even try anyway
(chorus)
Because it always ends up in a mess
Always wrong I should talk less
All iterations of me
Flawed and botched inherently
I should just shut my mouth
Everything I compose
And keep it all to myself
Powered off, stored and froze
I must be pretty bad at
things off the top of my head
People leave, one by one
because of what's been said
(chorus)
Because it always ends up in a mess
Always wrong I should talk less
All iterations of me
Flawed and botched inherently

It's Me Time
Pardon me while I strike an arabesque
If you dont know me don't bother to ask
Seeing the light Is this victory I taste?
Finally caught up with whatever I chased
Take a step back and consider the mess
If left untouched it'd be hard to assess
View the clean spaces I call it progress
Hands on my hips and it's time to confess
It's me time
Drop lots of anchors for something to chart
Analyze present and past torn apart
See how far I have come maybe I'm smart
Painting a picture a real work of art
Now I am etching these boundaries of mine
If you're confused they're not meant to define
Kick up my feet with a big glass of wine
After a while would you look at the time
It's me time

armchair activist
I done told ya
you're no soldier
you just sit there in your chair
buying up everything they sold ya
TV media
they don't need ya
got you by the short and curlies
got you all pent up and worried, they bleed ya
(chorus)
you're an armchair activist
what's next on your list?
armchair activist
in your love seat
with your bare feet
with your device in your hand
all the knowledge in the land, so send out a tweet
did a favor
such a savior
white girl with a phone
in a million dollar home, shit behavior
(chorus)
you're an armchair activist
what's next on your list
armchair activist
what's next on your list

Chicken One
There's been a terrible mistake
And now there's pounds of chicken everywhere
There's been a terrible mistake
And now there's pounds of chicken everywhere
And the guy who messed up well
He didn't even care
There's been a bit of a mixup
And now there's tons of chicken all over
There's been a bit of a mixup
And now there's tons of chicken all over
Now I don't know what to do
It'll be here through next October
Somebody dropped the ball
And now there's loads of chicken all around
Somebody dropped the ball
And now there's loads of chicken all around
I turned my head away,
And now it's all over the ground
Somebody didn't pay attention
Now there's so much chicken everywhere
Somebody didn't pay attention
Now there's so much chicken everywhere
There's so much if it
All I can really do is stare

chicken two
the chicken is bad
the worst I've had
how can I go on
it was all over
now it's all over
what once was found is gone
(chorus)
el Pollo es malo
no puedo continuar
el Pollo es malo
no puedo seguir con mi vida
the thing with a beak
it reached its peak
and then it came to me
I know how to grill
but even still
it was much too chewy
(chorus)
el Pollo es malo
no puedo continuar
el Pollo es malo
no puedo seguir con mi vida

living the dream
fuck Biden, fuck Trump,
fuck Harris and Pence
because my dollar's only worth
twenty five fuckin cents
different wings, same bird
I know it sounds absurd
take your fingers out ya ears
listen to what should be heard
they hate you, they think
you're the scum of the earth
it's been the design
since before your birth
the fed ain't shut down
if they still collect tax
sleeping in in Martha's Vineyard
while you bust your ass
(chorus)
margaritas in Mar A Lago
look outside, where did the law go?
pouring gas on the fire on the TV screen
how you doing? living the american dream
marching powder for your schnauz?
want some underage dames?
come to my private island
called Little Saint James
private jet out
on the taxpayers buck
mums the word
on your inappropriate fuck
back to the mansion
called your summer home
indifferent 'bout your people
sleeping out in the cold
humidor for a cigar
and it's off to bed
but not without a intern
giving you some head
(chorus)
margaritas in Mar A Lago
look outside, where did the law go?
pouring gas on the fire on the TV screen
how you doing? living the american dream
(chorus 2)
senoritas in Mar A Lago
look outside, where did the law go?
smiling faces on the TV screen
how's it hangin? living the dream

daddy Issues
house down in the suburbs got a beautiful life
married at 18 and became the perfect wife
twiddling your fingers while the laundry is washed
fighting back the demons that left your dreams kibashed
modified persona into something you hate
push it down and live it only in a dream state
she loves her kids and husband, now, with all of her heart
but she's got daddy issues that will blow it all apart
(chorus)
she's got divine issues
it's time to get the tissues
when she gives you all the clues
that she suffered from her daddy
he could be up in heaven
walked out on her at seven
left with only depression
that left her pissed off and bratty
feigning interest in the shit you always disliked
conservative hair that used to be pink and spiked
burning fuse in one hand smoking match in the other
never really wanted to be such a young mother
suitcase packed and ready, yeah, you know, just in case
insults cocked and loaded to spit back in his face
slip away into the night or wait for drama
there is only one to blame and it ain't your mama
(chorus)
she's got divine issues
it's time to get the tissues
when she sells you the abuse
that left her pissed off and bratty
he could be up in heaven
walked out on her at seven
anger up to eleven
I'm so fucked up like my daddy, baby
I'm so fucked up like my daddy, baby

funny little mind
I got a baby, and he's lookin for his mama
don't know if it'll happen, because she don't wanna
I got a baby, and he's feelin kinda hollow
Grasping on, grasping on, so hard to follow, yeah
I got a baby and he's walking like a zombie
lookin around and thinking where the hell could mom be
I got a baby, with some problems on his chest
Get em off, get em off, we'll do our best
I got a baby and he's doing really well
despite the challenges that took him straight through hell
I got a baby with a funny little mind
taking the steps he needs to leave her far behind

white noise
pressure in the sand
feel the ground give way
forming to the arch
it's a perfect day
white noise of the surf
things are all okay
sunset on the beach
out here in the bay
(chorus)
and I never want to go back home
fluid hits our toes
so cold on our feet
succumb to the wash
or run in retreat
fall into the wave
no dry change of clothes
laugh in tandem with
the water as it flows
(chorus)
and I never want to go back home
