lyrics

we would like to welcome the people who know nothing and think they are better than us!

i'm not here to start a problem
i'm in line for fate
and if you want to know what love is, well, you're gonna have to wait
it's an unexpected skeptic who you met in Mexico
Echo, just look at the pinwheels:
i'm someone who wants to blow

and i'm belching at the graveyard
and i'm feeling strangely fine
it's a big blank distraction of the mind

whatever you're looking for, you won't find it at school, you famous Internet doofus!

adult recreation and i'm losing every time
and if winning's half the battle
i'll take the other half, it's fine
there's a bunch of random rich guys in Male Feminists The Band
and, as Sufjan Stevens sang, "i want to hold your freakin' hand"

now i'm dead, sell my Krill vinyl
to the desperate Discogs guy
it's a big blank distraction of the mind

i'm going for my own jugular, or the jugular of someone who looks a lot like me!

happy to invite you
but you're gonna leave early
Of Mice & Men On Ice is not the break you seem to need
there's bad mojo at the dojo with no air conditioning
sage your parking space
and take a chill pill for anxiety

i'm the Michael Phelps of eating snacks
the store's out of my size
it's a big blank distraction of the mind
