Common Sense Is on Extended Hiatus

At this point, nothing surprises me anymore.

lyrics

THE TEAL:
Engrossed and incompetent.
No disrobing the monument
or it’s continent’s conduit
when he’s stalled on a consonant.
He’s got one hand on the button
and the other on your wife;
says, “Step to the left,”
but cannot ascertain right from right.
I can’t believe in a god whose main concern is moving units.
I won’t believe in a god whose main concern is moving units.
Are bespectacled White men
the most respectable hype men
for every leftist vendetta
against these Icemen with cheddar?
Drop balloons instead of bombs —
hope for a Clinton-esque response,
while channel ORANGE whispers psalms:
“This federation is forever.”
Confess a passing plethora of firmly flimsy embouchures
until these lovely trumpeters all sound like laughing treasurers.
The life Blogospherial is just low-key imperial.
Overthrow with a link in your bio — what a terribly American way. Warring frames of reference
are the closest thing to protest you’ll approach —
any closer could spell “death by displeasure.”
So normalize shake weights and moralize date rape,
then formalize slave traders’ immortalized paydays.
GOTCHA!
You say “Illuminati,” I say “oligarchy”;
neither of us quite remembers how to spell the word “jeopardy.”
Whether rocking empty pantsuits or imaginary fat suits,
we’re foreordained to watch our roots decay and routes all fade away.
How’s your day?
I can’t believe in a god whose main concern is moving units.
I won’t believe in a god whose main concern is moving units.
Common Sense, you are long, long overdue —
there’s nothing the kids want more than a worldwide reunion tour.
“Hey, Common Sense, do you still take reque —”

THUMIA:
Hey there, my sexy Aspie … it’s Thumia. Just providing your daily reminder that silence will forever be your enemy. So keep those headphones mighty tight, and remember that you are, always have been, and will always be “that bitch.” Dissipate into your self-righteous hate, vape until you evaporate. And if you really need to, just try copying and pasting your way back into caring! You know it won’t work, though … remember why? Because all these years that I’ve been hooking up with you, you’ve never abandoned the low-key lookout for any reason to disrespect those who pretend to love you.
