Good Enough 01:59
You were desperate just to get yourself a little attention It was easy to enable just a little suspension Of the healthy disbelief that I managed to keep you safe Whenever I came around you drew in close Close enough to know I might only be lonely You made it easier when you started going most of the way I’m a walkthrough man (Good enough) I’m tired of hustling for a future that you’ve got planned Good enough for now, good enough for then Good enough that you’ll never have to see me again I’m the last required stop before the end of the line I was there when there was nobody else to find A paper target, so you better shoot for the mark some day And no, it never really, ever occurred to me That everything you meant was temporary I didn’t sign up for first, so I could be your worst mistake I’m a walkthrough man (Good enough) I’ve gotta hustle for a future that I’ve got planned Good enough for now, good enough for then Good enough that you’ll never have to see me again

DEA List 01:36
I’ve had to sign for a shipment of hazardous chemicals at my work Shit that could be used in a genocide Shit that could be used in a genocide My name’s on a DEA List My name’s on a DEA List My name’s on a DEA List And they don’t know I smoke pot I’ve had to sign for a shipment of Hazardous waste going to Michigan If something happened to that shipment Then I am legally fucked My name’s on an EPA List My name’s on an EPA List My name’s on an EPA List And they don’t know that I litter

Fuck civil rights for all Scare off all the businesses with one single fucking law Surpluses are for saving, and the roads still suck He even has the nuts to be Vice President for Trump Mike Pence is a prick Mike Pence is a dick Mike Pence didn’t do shit when he was a fucking congressman Mike Pence is a prick He fucked with the school board He made Glenda Ritz’s life a living hell He couldn’t even find a way to fund the fucking Bicentennial Then a woman’s body was his war Thanks to the Courts we’ve started to reverse that war Mike Pence is a prick Mike Pence is a dick When he throws out the first pitch, the city boos the shit out of him! Mike Pence is a prick Ever wonder why we’re tied with Mississippi for being the worst? It doesn’t matter, poverty, education, train wrecks How did this idiot get elected? How did this idiot get elected? Don’t be so stupid Don’t be so fucking stupid Mike Pence is a prick Mike Pence is a dick Mike Pence didn’t do shit when he was a fucking congressman Mike Pence is a prick

She’s been walking around Blind for 18 fucking years Why didn’t someone Send her to the optometrist? I know a girl with glasses I know a girl with glasses She cannot fucking see 10 feet in front of her face She cannot fucking read All of those blurry signs I know a girl with glasses I know a girl with glasses She had glasses all along How was I supposed to know My wife’s known her for 10 years I’ve known her for 10 minutes I know a girl with glasses I know a girl with glasses I know a girl with glasses I know a girl with glasses I know a girl

What are you fighting for? Whom are you angry at? Why do you always need more? Why do you need ammo? And, if you needed a gun Then you’re getting it wrong Stop killing people, you dumb humans! If you work together You might find your common enemy If we stop fighting each other We might get somewhere But, if you needed a gun Then you’re getting it wrong Stop killing people, you dumb humans! In loco parentis

So here we go, the worst has come, It's time to prepare for third world war A demagogue has taken hold And threatens to ruin everything Unless you are straight, Male, white, and rich Trump is madness, this is not normal Trump is madness, do not normalize this Trump is madness, this is not normal Trump is madness, this is not normal, do not normalize this He claimed he would drain the swamp Instead he fills it with more shit He controls a narrative By picking fights on Twitter And social media What is this guy, is he twelve? Trump's a rapist, he raped Marla you know Trump's a fraud, just ask his students Trump's a tax cheat, everything's a write-off Trump's a moron, this is not normal, do not normalize this

You’re a total fucking cunt Why did you bail on me? You and your garbage-pail ass And your jokes that no one gets I’m gonna put I’m gonna put Sugar in your gas tank You’re a white-trash con artist With no marketable skills How is it that you make more money than me And yet you’re always broke? I’m gonna put I’m gonna put Sugar in your gas tank Good luck trying to start your car With your stupid fucking breathalyzer It won’t fucking matter ‘cause I’m gonna put sugar in your gas tank I’m gonna put I’m gonna put Sugar in your gas tank

Catalytic converters make it Harder for me to kill myself I’d buy a gun but who has time For all of that paperwork? Catalytic converters Make it harder for me to kill myself Because they convert hazardous chemicals into Less dangerous properties I’d throw myself off a building But I live in the suburbs I’d slit my writs in the bathtub But I don’t want to leave that kind of mess Catalytic converters make it Harder for me to kill myself Because they convert hazardous chemicals into Less dangerous properties Suicide by cop sounds nice But they’ve all had sensitivity training I don’t know what I’m gonna do There’s got to be a better way Catalytic converters make it Harder for me to kill myself Because they convert hazardous chemicals into Less dangerous properties There’s got to be a better way There’s got to be a better way There’s got to be a better way There’s got to be a better way
