art is artificial
art is an artifice
these songs might misrepresent
things that I think
art is artificial
but I made it for you
just keep in mind not every song
you hear is true
and so I wrote more stupid songs
most of them aren't very long
and some of them might make you mad
but that kinda sounds like a you problem taking things way too seriously I mean seriously maybe you could lighten up a little and just try to chuckle for a while while you remember that
art is artificial
art is an artifice
these songs might misrepresent
things that I think
art is artificial
but I made it for you
I made it for you
I made it for you
I made it for me
please give me money

bathroom cat
I'm in the bathroom and so is he
he likes to drink from the sink
and sometimes watch when I pee
bathroom cat
I'm in the bathtub he's also there
the drain is clogged up with cat hair
he eats the bubbles then burps their air
bathroom cat
I need the mirror but he does too
He don't give a shit what I need to do
we share a toothbrush against my objections
bathroom cat
he falls asleep on the scale
weighs 15 pounds with no tail
his tail is not on the scale

God is Good
01:57
|
|

There is only one god
And his name is God
And he loves you this I know
As long as you're not a homo
So give your money to the preacher man
Tithe 10% or whatever you can
And everyone else please do the same
So preacher and God can fight those gays
God is good
Gays are bad
And they definitely both exist
And here’s the proof
That gays exist
Designer shoes and the Roman Empire
And here’s more proof
That gays exist
Broadway shows and every species of animal
And still further proof
That gays exist
Neil Patrick Harris and Interior decorating
Have some more proof
That gays exist
A scientific consensus and all those gay dudes
And here’s the proof
That God exists

Uncle Harry (Deceased)
01:47

Uncle Harry gets me drunk when he's
In Derek’s pocket
And when Derek says “let’s go” I take off
Like a box in an airplane
There’s a light that heats the splace
Between the light and the space that that light touches
And if you need such a light
Derek can sell you Just as much as you need
He’s the man with three first names
He’s the godfather of the IPA
He’s the infrared badass
And he always has the plastic That gets me drunk
There’s a big house in Georgia Where Derek lives
although I have never seen it
Maybe if I’m ever there
We will drink until I cannot walk.
But instead I see him in
Other cities all over this country
But the beer is just as cold
And Uncle Harry always picks up the tab
He’s the man with three first names
He’s the godfather of the IPA
He’s the infrared badass
And he always has the plastic that gets me drunk

Grinding and Sieving
02:22
|
|
||
Joe Powder gave me a job and now I take the bus to the job that he gave me
Unless I don’t take the bus, then I just pay a whole bunch to park
I take raw materials out of big bags and I mix them with other materials from bags
And they all go into a much smaller bag that I shake and shake and shake
The shaken up stuff gets fed in a machine that heats it and smashes it into a goo
The goo goes through rollers to come out cold and flat
Grinding and sieving, grinding and sieving, this is the life that I’m happy to have
Now I’m living for grinding and sieving.
Out of the sieve comes a powder with which I can shoot things ‘cause I’ve got a gun
But it doesn’t shoot bullets, it shoots powder, static, and air.
The static-charged powder sticks to the grounded substrate and stays there unless I drop it
And then I just bake it at the time and the temperature required
Once it’s cooled down and I’ve seen that it’s flawed because I didn’t clean things enough
I clean things again, and that’s when it’s time to try again.
Grinding and sieving, grinding and sieving, this is the life that I’m happy to have
Now I’m living for grinding and sieving.
Grinding and sieving, grinding and sieving, this is the life that I’m happy to have
Now I’m living for grinding and sieving.
Thank you, Joe.

Mean Ol' Bossman

Mean ol' boss man got me, sweepin' floors
Tell you right now I can't take no more
Mean ol' boss man got me, cleanin' tables
Tell right now that as soon as I am able
I'm gonna kill him in his sleep
I'm gonna kill him in his sleep
Sometime between today and the end of the week
I'm gonna kill him in his sleep
Mean ol' boss man won't give, me a raise
But one way or another he is going to pay
Mean ol’ boss man thinks that, I'm a joke
But his money won't help him when his neck is broke
I'm gonna kill him in his sleep
I'm gonna kill him in his sleep
Let's see who has a job when he's under six feet
I'm gonna kill him in his sleep
Mean ol' boss man gonna, fire me
Ain't nothin' to discuss as far as he can see
Mean ol’ boss man laughs as, I'm forced to leave
We'll see who laughs last because tonight is the eve
When I kill him in his sleep
I'm gonna kill him in his sleep
This is my notice, you don't get two weeks
I'm gonna kill him in his sleep
Voodoo economics man, you sow what you reap

who's the dumbest guy in the room, could you help me find him?
I'm pretty sure that isn't you, but I don't see someone else
logically there just has to be, someone here that's not as smart as you
so please could you help me find, the dumbest guy in the room?
let's just have a look around, is he behind that chair?
that table cloth hangs down to the floor, could he be hiding under there?
this guy is good at hide and seek, I must give credit where credit is due
so please would you help me find, the dumbest guy in the room?
‘cause I don't see
anyone but you and me
I guess that we might never find
the dumbest guy in the room
maybe he's behind the curtain, or hiding in the closet
did something move by the window, or did I just imagine it?
this is really making me mad, I know that you're a very smart dude
you'd think that we'd be able to find, the dumbest guy in the room
but I don't see
anyone but you and me
so I guess that we might never find
the dumbest guy in the room
the dumbest guy in the room
the dumbest guy in the room

The Sad Part in Movies
02:09
|
|

The camera pans and we all see the man that’s in the street
He’s standing in the rain, what else to do?
We zoom in so close you can see what’s rain and what are tears
And all our hearts break just a little bit
A soldier shakes in fear as the bombs are going off
And the bullet finds him in the next frame
He’ll live but never walk again and love’s so far away
But we know when he comes home she’ll be gone
This is the sad part in movies
It’s usually though not always about 2/3rds in
And usually when the movie ends
Everyone is happy again
Humiliated on the ground behind the junior high
An overhead shot, he looks so small
And the kids he thought were friends all laugh as they walk away
Nothing in the world can help him now
This is the sad part in movies
It’s usually though not always about 2/3rds of the way into the movie
And usually though not always when the movie ends
Everyone is happy again

One Pair of Gloves
01:07

We only have one pair of gloves
That's why my wife does all the yard work
We only have one pair of gloves
So I just sit there and watch her do it
We can't afford to pay somebody
To do the yard work for us
But she picked this stupid house with its big old yard and I never wanted it
So I don't have to do anything
One pair of gloves
One pair of gloves
One pair of gloves
We've only got one pair of gloves

I got to see my buddy in Blackfalds
The meeting was long overdue
We were in good cheer
So we drank all the beer
And babe, that's why I'm calling you
I'm sorry my dear, I went drinking with Skil
And we caused a bit of a fuss
We walked to the bar
But walking back was too far
And we ended up stealing a bus
The Oilers were on the TV
And we drank to their future success
McDavid did score
So we drank some more
Oh, pardon me please, I digress
I'm sorry my dear, I went drinking with Skil
And we really did let loose
We decided I'd drive
We're lucky to be alive
I can't say that for the bus, or the moose
We decided to hide the evidence
So we set the bus and the moose ablaze
Two mounties rode by
I saw one of them cry
He said "Just what are you doing, eh?"
I'm sorry my dear, I went drinking with Skil
And I'm in a Canadian jail
Could you go to the post office
Apply for a passport
So you can cross the border to pay my bail?
