what am i to do
to win one fond kiss from my love

april
and the wind's turning down
at last

i got to go
but my mind
placates the past

voyage
to a darker feeling
when one thought
emerges

i sought
we bought
splurges

and the CRACK! of a combine stun baton
was felt at home in old hong kong
they pushed them down
they ****** them off
they know
what goes
they know, they know

mario andretti!
pronounce his name real steady
you've got a chance to emigrate
now's the time to seal your fate

you could be a moronic sculpture
could make neo-scotland rupture
corporations wanna buy you
judge and juries wanna try you

why
can't
i
why
can't
i
have superpowers
have superpowers

why, why
must i
cope, cope
c-c-c-c-c-caw!

copycat, copy cope
last one out, elect the pope
feral demons walk about
judge is in, the jury's out

one mistake, you snooze you lose
brush your teeth or get a bruise
hate is a six letter word
opposing voices can't be heard

why
can't
i
i
why
can't
i
i
be something better
and change my gender

why
why
must
i

cope, cope
c-c-c-c-caw

copycat, copy cope
hang yourself, i'll buy the rope
shut up about your mental illness
it's just a form of wish fulfillment

take a bath in hydrochlorin
if you don't use neosporin
if you're short and have a *******
you're the bottom of the totem

why
can't
i
aye

why
can't
i-aye

be innocent
be president

what am i to do?
what am i to do?

can't live in a daydream
can't shoot off a magazine
can't make stories perfect
can't learn how to work it

mother!
mother!
what am i to do-o-o?

can't write an editorial
can't play super mario
cannot file my taxes
and i don't know what a fax is

why
can't
i-aye

do anything
do anything

mother!
mother!
what am i to do-o-o?
what am i to do?
