Spoon Feed

The yellow monkeys love to do kung fu

The curtains are blue, because they set the mood

The diamonds are red, they adorn your boobs

Some food for thought that’ll put you off food

 

What’s the matter? Didn’t make a lick of sense?

You’re a fickle motherfucker, always on the fence

Do you want to be fed with a silver spoon?

A jar of Gerber, hope your tummy has room

 

I can’t make heads or tails of my own symbolism

I threw it all together, ‘cause I thought I had a vision

Come to think of it, I need to be spoon fed too

Open up the hangar for an airplane or two

 

Open wide like you’re taking a trip to the dentist

Here’s an infodump to overload your senses

Dumping is something you do with your ass

Any wonder why we’re stuck in a middle school class?

 

I hope I’ve got an out, because I’m on the spectrum

I know it could never be a shield or a weapon

When the C+ stares into my eyes like a demon

I don’t get mad or rich, I want to get even

 

It’s me and my madness against the world

Some authors wear pentagrams, some authors wear pearls

How do I stand out a cut above the rest?

Do better on the scan sheet bubble filling test

 

But that shit don’t work, they just laugh

They always remind you to forge your own path

When tax time comes, you got to do your own math

They put you through the wringer, leave you crawling with your fingers

 

I don’t expect the world to know what it’s like

To feel like a stranger at an open mic night

To feel like puking at the thought of being famous

Keep thumbing your nose, go ahead and shame us

El Perfecto


VERSE 1
Getting it right on the very first try
Is setting the bar way too fucking high
Black widow parents feeding kids venom
How to score A’s, how to get into heaven
El Perfecto is an out of reach nickname
Anything below that is all a big shame
No time to play, learn how to pray
That your belt bruises will go away

CHORUS
El Perfecto! X4

VERSE 2
Landing a career as a big shot executive
A hot shit CEO who nobody messes with
Is a privilege for those with money and power
A right for those with their name on a tower
Landing a career jockeying a cash register
Is more than just an old political metaphor
It’s a way of life for those who cannot buy
Their way into a private jet flying in the sky

CHORUS
El Perfecto! X4

BRIDGE
Stressed out! You don’t know what to do
So a gun to your skull is what you choose
Stressed out! You don’t know who to trust
In a world where nobody really gives a fuck
Stressed out! You don’t know how to relax
There are so many knives in so many backs
Stressed out! The oligarchy rules your life
They don’t know what it’s like to want to die

VERSE 3
You swear you’ll take a day off next Monday
But your broken down body has become mundane
You swear you’ll see a doctor next Tuesday
But the prices were jacked up twice today
You swear you’ll get married next Wednesday
But you couldn’t satisfy her on your best day
You swear you’ll end the cycle soon enough
But that hollow sunken belly is yours to stuff

CHORUS
El Perfecto! X4

Yelling at Empty Seats


VERSE 1
You’re not owed an audience
And we’re not fucking idiots
Shouting in an empty venue
Isn’t on our college menu
Fuck your so called “big ideas”
There’s no sense in fighting us
Racist trash and sexist garbage
Spoken by obvious con artists

CHORUS
Yelling at empty seats
About what you believe
What will it achieve?
Who will you deceive?

VERSE 2
Yelling at invisible drag queens
Transgender males in their teens
Black Lives Matter protestors
And human rights protectors
Yelling at people not even there
We stayed home in case you care
Your talking points bore us to tears
Try spreading hope instead of fear

CHORUS
Yelling at empty seats
About what you believe
What will it achieve?
Who will you deceive?

PRE-VERSE
Let me ask you a philosophical question

VERSE 3
If you shout and nobody cares
Were you even fucking there?
Do you go on a verbal tear
And picture everyone in underwear?
When you break the fourth wall
Do you need to give mommy a call?
If only there was someone to answer
But we’re busy avoiding your banter

EXTENDED CHORUS
Yelling at empty seats
About what you believe
What will it achieve?
Who will you deceive?
Yelling at empty rows
Purple-in-the-face prose
Save it, we already know
Same shit, different show
