I've used these chords before,
And I'll probably use them all again.
Just another way to say
The same old thing again.
And it seems real ludicrous
That anyone could have
A monopoly on an idea,
Copyright, or patent.
Woah, oh, oh,
I don't own these words.
I don't own these choards.
Woah, oh, oh,
I just want a little credit.

This music may be dumb,
But it sure is fun.
This music may be dumb,
But it sure is fun.
This music may be dumb,
But it sure is fun.
I don't wanna live without this music.
This music may be dumb,
But it sure is fun.
This music may be dumb,
But it sure is fun.
This music may be dumb,
But it sure is fun.
I don't wanna live without this music.
And maybe G-d isn't real.
Maybe there's no purpose at all,
But at least we have our music.
At least we have our songs.
This music may be dumb,
But it sure is fun.
This music may be dumb,
But it sure is fun.
This music may be dumb,
But it sure is fun.
I don't wanna live without this music.

Diabetic XOXO
00:41
|

I've never been a junkie,
But I've ate a lot of junk food and,
Now I'm type 2 diabetic
And my molars really hurt.
I'd eat pineapple on pizza
If that meant that I could eat it with you,
Even though I'm diabetic,
Type 2.
Type 2 diabetes,
Won't you be my sweetie?
Type 2 diabetes,
Won't you be my sweetie?
Type 2 diabetes,
Won't you be my sweetie?
Type 2 diabetes,
No insulin for me.

I am not a perfect son.
I am worse than everyone.
I am not a perfect son.
I am worse than everyone.
I am not intelligent.
I am never eloquent.
I am not intelligent.
I am never eloquent.
But this is what I am.
Take all that I have.
I will never use it well, but
I'm sure that you can.
I can only promise you
That I will do my best,
And when it isn't good enough
Will you pick up my slack?
I'm a failure.

Not a Suicide Note

If you
Come and find me
With a bullet in my head
I didn't do it.
If you
Find me dead
I didn't do it.
I'm innocent.
This song is not about Kurt Cobain.
This song is not about Courtney Love,
Or anyone in the grundge scene
From the early 90's.

Willie Nelson Guitar

He played a Willie Nelson guitar.
Used to sing a lot of songs about burning cop cars.
Used to feel sad 'til the pills took his feelings away.
Now he just sits at home
Wondering how to get the bedbugs gone.
He used to lean on her love 'til her love disappeared one day.
But, I guess
This is what he gets
For thinking
Things were going great.
When will he start again?
He got fired from his job.
Went to the pawn shop and sold his guitar,
Ran out of pills and he gambled all his money away.
Now he lives in his car.
He don't have a lot of gas so he can't go far.
Even if he did he'd have nowhere else to stay.
But, I guess
This is what he gets
For thinking
Things were going great.
When will he start again?
When will he love again?
When will he live again?

Not Ben Shin Omaha, Nebraska
Nobody was playing with me so I played with myself. I couldn't do music good so I made the songs short. I couldn't be Ben Shin so I became Not Ben Shin.
