Good Times in the Greenhouse

about

Our species is completely fucked.

lyrics

THE TEAL:
Fighting the power one “like” at a time …
at least in my head, I’m a savior.
Boosting our endorphins on the backs of battered orphans.
If we only had our brains
to see this feebly themed afternoon TV series
based on too many babies’ disgusting realities.
Cat pictures keep you at a comfortable distance
from the inevitable rise of roaches and Richards.
All the White boys are headed uptown,
chasing a man who still hasn’t come around.
Who gives a fuck about a post-rock context
when this shouting match between Earth and Wind’s
still acquiring extra “F”s?
Nothing makes me longer than the Bible’s worth of space
we must maintain between our hips as we step clumsily along
to some diabetic coma dripping in at an adagio,
while I Mimeo Fabio in hopes you’ll try a taste
and feel too ensnared to care that all the elegance I offer you is fake.
Let’s face it: No one’s expecting Batguy to fly
or letting SuperQ do much of anything.
Is it really that much hotter? If it is, inform my lawyer.
All the White boys are headed uptown,
chasing a man who still hasn’t come around.
Who gives a fuck about a post-rock context
when this shouting match between Earth and Wind’s
still acquiring extra “F”s?
Suicidal ideation’s quite a spiteful mediation.
For better and for worse, I know I’m no longer ever alone.
No lawful use for managed time or real repentance
when life’s a loop of petty crime and prison sentence.
Taking “Jesus” lyrics well out of context
just to perpetuate a textual contest.
Yeah, we’ve still got wood and nails, but can’t remember why.
All the White boys are headed uptown,
chasing a man who still hasn’t come around.
Who gives a fuck about a post-rock context
when this shouting match between Earth and Wind’s
still acquiring extra “F”s?
Suicidal ideation’s quite a spiteful mediation.
For better and for worse, I know I’m no longer ever alone.
The world just dies when it’s mine to hold.
With laughable aim, he shouted her name
and said, “Decode the message!”
With laughable aim, he still cries her name …
