Everybody Knows I’m

1-IMG_0087

I heard you making speeches up there
I saw you milking this Tipper Gore

Lard whale with a spatula
With smooth even strokes
Your lover snores obsidian bubbles

I have never felt like such a jerk in my life

Somebody find a nurse
Somebody get the methadone
Everybody knows I’m a jerk

We’re all dancing on the Love carpet
Singing with Shirley
Yeah, making sure well-known objects
And their shapes are well destroyed

It’s your party, but
I’m tired of taking orders
Everybody knows I’m a jerk
