Of Midas and Your Mother

Midas won’t stop masturbating
Jesus won’t stop levitating
Selling himself for wine and bread
Santa is a drug mule
And all the reindeer are too
Cupid is a sex offender
God’s on an extended bender
And Bambi’s Mom’s still dead

Peter Pan’s an old man
Creeping out children
In tights that don’t fit him
Tinkerbell’s an STI
And he hasn’t flown since Nam
The devil is an old friend
Of your mother’s, she was kind
Pinnochio’s her dildo and she always makes him like

Your imaginary friend was a repressed memory
And your friends are really imaginary
Your ghosts deem you unfit for haunting
Your demons found you too boring
That poltergeist is the wind tonight
And it’s just taunting



Non-Stop Top Pop Chop Shop
Birds of a Feather Pluck Each Other
Starry Eyed And Staring

Steppin outta starbucks with a subtle limp
'Cause my pocket's filled with change from my investments
Too much stock in my pock' and it's spillin' like I'm a villain
And I just robbed a bank and I'm making out with millions
See the peeps on the street swarm around like pigeons
Like I'm made of heat and they are all freezin'

You're starry eyed and staring
But darling I'm not caring
That you love me more than living
There's just nothing you could give me

Just stay off my twitter with all this pining
You're whining for my teat but it's all empty
I shipped it all to Africa to fight Kony

I pop open my iphone and it's vibing hard
Steppin' to a luxury Uber car
Text my crew that I'm heading down to the bar
Predrinkin' in the backseat on some prime likkar
Chauffer won't say nothing cause I'd give him one star

Making plans to post it on Instagram
I gotta keep it constant for all my fans
I'm simply super special and they understand
That I'm living their dreams and they just can't
They'll retweet and think of me when they try to sleep
But they won't fall 'cept in love 'cause I aint no sheep
And all they do is close their eyes and count on me

I head down to the salon get my asshole bleached
The lady won't stop makin squinty eyes at me
Yeah I'm fine, yeah I'm famous but let's just put that behind us
While you're all up on my anus makin' it stainless
Here's a tip; you just touched such a special thing
You were face to famous anus and celebrity
You'll be writing this into your family tree
Grateful to my gape- hole for it browning

Cleptopatra

They told me you're a crook
And I told them they were crazy
That I took a single look at you
And knew you'd be m'lady
But they were right, alright
She took my heart right from my torso
And didn't wash her hands
Just when I was at my worse
Oh, she took my T.V. remote
And that was passive aggressive
As anything
It wasn't universal
And now I'm left with sore legs
From standing up to change the channel
And everytime I strive to find
A program I can stand for a while
I remember your smile
When you took my remote
And said it was yours
But how could it be your remote
When it's my television set
You would have taken the rest
If you actually wanted the remote

And now everytime I settle down
To watch Long Island Medium
You change the channel from the bushes
To something I don't like
At least that must be it
Unless it's a poltergeist

And you also took my toothbrush
You never got your own
But I could never trust it
After you scrubbed your mouth bones
Every time I got a new one
You'd use it just once
Taint the bristles with your tongue
Foul it with your funk

And you took every left sock I had
I swear to god they don't fit right
My left foot never sits right
Maybe I'm going mad
But you're weird and stealy
And I wouldn't put it past you
You're so passive agressive
Slashing tires
Popping wheelies

No, but I can understand why you would think that.

Have to say that compared with your other post (The Process), this seems kind of amateurish and childish.

Lines like:

In tights that don’t fit him
Tinkerbell’s an STI
And he hasn’t flown since Nam

A *very* clunky and don't quite fit the rhythm of the song and:

You're starry eyed and staring
But darling I'm not caring

Is a fairly obvious/uninventive couplet.

You then totally pivot following this:
Non-Stop Top Pop Chop Shop
Birds of a Feather Pluck Each Other
Starry Eyed And Staring

Have we changed to a separate set of lyrics from here on?! Same again following 'Cleopatra'.


Sorry for the harsh criticism but compared to the imagery and imagination in your other effort I was surprised this came from the same pen!

The only real constructive criticism I can think of here is - drop stuff like this and develop the other side of yourself that you have shown us  ;)

You are absolutely right. These songs were written to balance out the songs filled with philosophical questions that took an incredible amount of thought for every word placed. I intended to make a truly terrible song. At this point I somewhat regret even posting them but I do enjoy the contrast between this absurdity and my deep works. I was inspired by Mozart's "Leck Mich Im Arsch". After intentionally making the worst song I could I would always be struck with inspiration for a true song.

 There are 3 different songs, "Starry Eyed and Staring" has 3 different titles. I should have separated them clearly.

It is a parody of modern popular music. I intended to get as far from established values as I could with these ones and I felt that a song insulting the listener and their childhood memories worked well.

"Starry Eyed and Staring" is meant to be an exaggerated pop song. The asshole bleaching section may have put it over the edge but I felt I couldn't go too far in a song intending to go too far.

"Cleptopatra" was thrown in to hopefully make it very clear that this is satire.

I feel the need to clarify. Obviously, people are going to make what the population wants made. Almost nothing is done without the goal of spreading influence or profit. I feel that to make something truly new, true creation and not just building upon something, you need to ignore these expectations. Everything will be built upon something but we don't have to arrange the pieces in the exact way we've known. These lyrics were an exaggeration of this concept. I was trying to fit the opposite of established values, it is far from true creation but I was hoping to highlight the concept.
