The song is in response to MAN WITHOUT A COuNTRY by Kurt Vonnegut and written for the Bushwick Book Club event for this book. The recording is also featured in the compilation CD for the 2021 Accordion Babes Pin Up Calendar.
Total catastrophes are terribly amusing
Any subject is subject to laughter
All those fossil fuels we’re using isn’t losing
if it’s comedy that you’re after.
Do you know what a twerp is?
65 years ago he bit off buttons in taxis with his butt
A snark was a guy who sniffed the seats of girls’ bikes
What is the white stuff in bird poop.
Don’t worry, It’s bird poop too.
Crazy making games––
old ones like love and hate.
New ones like automobiles and credit card rates.
Why don’t you tell the truth for a change
like there were never any good old days,
and don’t look at me I just got here anyways.
Extended families, may we all be navahos or Kennedys.
so we wouldn’t have to ever say, you’re not enough people for me!
Fossil fuels is irresistible whoopee. A booby trap.
Here goes the junior prom, and that’s not even the half
of it.
What else is life but endless lending and borrowing,
Give and take. give and take. give and take.
Why don’t you tell the truth for a change.
That soldiers are children
and never use a semi colon
and rules only get you so far,
even the good ones
what good is an education
to haters of information
and people are not having as much sex as they appear.
A great deal of laughter is induced by fear
And don’t look at me, don’t look at me,
don’t look at me, don’t look at me,
I just got here. I just got here.
Can’t tell the good from the bad news.
Chase away old man suicide with the blues.
Shoo him to the corners of the room
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
Confucius says.
Extended families, like navahos and Kennedys
so we can stop asking each other, to be more people please
Strumming, humming, succumbing, to our hearts thrumming
I don’t have that sort of control.
I’m simply becoming.
And if anything will save us,
it’s our imagination circuits
and remembering to notice
“If this isn’t nice,
I don’t know what is...."
