Brain Problems
03:17
|

I've got brain problems.
This is the part where the brain problems successfully distract from themselves, and fun slips in -- but not without a price.
Brain problems of many kinds…
Would it make me feel better if you had brain problems too?
No.

I'm David and I'm Lisa, I'm George and I am wheezy
and when I'm not on stage I don't want anyone to see me.
I can't stand people and I can't stop rhyming,
I can't start breathing and I can't stop crying.
I'm whining and dying beyond reasonable means
You must be refined to find this seasoned cuisine
A pint of weak sauce on a hill of beans
Almost the most pathetic thing you've ever seen
If it was the most at least it would be something to see
If it was the most at least it would be something obscene
I've got to clear away this garbage so I'm empty and clean
So I can think about new garbage, I'm a garbage machine
and I've got two arms, and two legs and two hands and two feet
Two eyes and two ears, yes I am intact and complete
I'm equipped with the latest, running water and heat
A phone and computer, all this technology
I've got every amenity of the 21st century
So throw open the shutters while I'm still unshattered
and I will sputter and splatter out all my clutter and clatter
I'm David and Goliath, against all odds I will defeat me
If I put my butt into it then triumph will be easy.

Autotune My Life
02:30
|

|
Autotune my life, beat detect my world
Quantization, pitch correction for me and my girl
Put me on a segway pointed at the promised land
Celebrities have handlers, well I need that helping hand
Give me a teleprompter, prop me up and give me cues
Give me a hot producer with beats that never lose
My manager will call you and convince you I'll enthrall you
Roll my limp body across the floor, my brand has been delivered
As promised
Restructure my process, rebuild all my product
Resequence my thought streams which dictate my conduct
Inject me with a will at the base of my spine
I'll stand up straight, captain my fate, that would be mighty fine

Pleasure of Food
03:36
|

When you bite a cookie, you want to feel "Yes!
I am having success! I am having the sex!"
But sex is not sweets, with sex you know when you're done
Sweets you eat and eat and sweet satisfaction never comes
Eating when full
Eating for taste
When the cabinet is full,
Eating to clear out space
Eating out of obligation
Eating for something to do
I did it all for the pleasure of food
Trying to get a fix
Cannot scratch the itch
Instant gratification
Spend my appetite something quick
Decisions made by force of habit
The sugar stole my meal
I did it all for the pleasure of food
Compulsive eating
Portion control
Throwing out good food
Letting it grow mold
Going shopping hungry
Decisions made by packaging
I did it all for the pleasure of food
Maniacal determination to finish the plate
Forcing it down is still going to waste
Allergic to tupperware, won't dirty a dish
But i've only got one stomach and that's all that it can fit
I tried to get high on food, i tried to get my fix
It didn't work too well, didn't work one bit
Eating as procrastination, eating for something to do
I did it all for the pleasure of food
I tried sex, I did it 'til it hurts
I tried sleep, sleeping 'til my whole body burns
I tried sleep, until my whole body burns
I tried sex, until I ran out of sperm
Now i've set my sights and appetites on food
I'll get satisfaction if I must eat my way through

Why Stand Up
03:55
|

The world has form and I can't function
Laid out on the pavement I'm onto something
Why stand up
The world has form and I can't function
Splayed on the sidewalk I'm onto something
Why stand up
No more fighting murphy's law
No more trying to walk tall
No more doing anything at all
Why stand up
I tried to walk
I bumped my head
I tried to talk
My face turned red
I fell down
Did not get up
I live it down
You live it up
I tried to sleep
Fell out of bed
I tried to die
Only played dead
You get around
Please eat me up
Serving suggestion:
Doused in ketchup
The world has form and I can't function
Laid out on the pavement I'm onto something
Why stand up
The world has form and I can't function
Splayed on the sidewalk I'm onto something
Why stand up
No more fighting murphy's law
No more trying to walk tall
No more doing anything at all
why stand up
I get down, I get down, I get down all the way

Yes I can't, I can't stand standing it

Forced to Live
04:57
|
|||

I don't like thinking and I don't like acting
I just want to die like Michael Jackson
I don't like to make decisions
But I'm forced to live
I don't like thinking and I don't like acting
I just want to die like Michael Jackson
I don't like to have experiences
But I'm forced to live
I don't like to wake up
I don't like to eat
I don't like to wash
I don't like obligations
I don't like to get wired then tired
But I'm forced to live
I don't like when things change my mood
Spoiling my fun or disrupting my brooding
I don't want to face the change
Or endure the boredom of the same
But my body functions properly,
Circulation without pause
Respiration without pause
Thus i'm forced to live
I've got a failure to fail to thrive, I survive, I'm alive

Neutral Evil
04:38
|
|||
|
You want to believe that the protagonist is a good person
Who does the right thing
The protagonist is in a state of calm open-mindedness
Also known as selfish indifferent evil
Two roads diverged, six on one, half dozen on the other
A false equivalency because one road leads to murder
You can't tell the difference when you're morally retarded
Someone taught you morals but they were soon discarded
You weather the consequences, just want unpleasantness to end
When can i be excused, when can silence return

I am at my highest in a state of disgust
Empowered as I stylize my motions
Disconnect fuels a glorious tension, observe
The ritual continues if we still have the nerve
Do we suspend disbelief and method act,
Or deflate the parade with cynical remarks?
Did we sign a contract? Where is the fine print?
How much are we getting paid to play these parts?
There's something you should know about me

Now that I've squandered any opportunity
(and there were many)
to live with dignity
I've got to be bold, got to go for the gold:
The miracle of humiliation
May the miracle of humiliation rain down on me
Wash away my faults and folly like a deluge of pee
Or maybe some cool, black, stale coffee
I'm in reorientation, plotting a new destination
Set sail for the miracle of humiliation
The more I try to try less, the more I fail, 'til I fail best
I'm closing in like Xeno, I've nearly found Nemo
In the ocean of pee
May the miracle of humiliation be the solution to me
It's gonna rain
