butterflies with machine guns
title says it all. mellow, thought-provoking.
oh, i don't know, there's only two songs, listen to 'em.
it's kind of like irreverent i suppose. suggestions for text here welcome, i have no idea. everyone mentions leonard cohen when they hear my stuff.
Story behind the song
i just wrote it a few months ago after some butterflies held me up in my car. they said, "alright, m---f----, fork it over." I said, "wow you guys have nice wings." they said, "we're not kidding." I got nervous and drove away, they shot at my car. can't remember the rest.
Lyrics
if greed was the only thing that human beings need
I think I'd be satisfied
if pain was a real currency on which we all could feed
I'd say we've already tried
but it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not
if the president was really interested in what he had to say
I'd give it a shot
if the people were really interested in what he had to say
I'd give it all I got
but they're not, they're not, they're not, they're not
and he's not, he's not, he's not, he's not
I'm done with all the criticism I'll ever need
but you're obviously not
it's like a goddam fallout zone and you never hear me plead
don't you wonder why not
but you're not, you're not, you're not, you're not
and they're not, they're not, they're not, they're not
