I got a previous commitment to my self-respect

November 13, 2016

zzsucker

You think I’ll stand in line
Until it’s my time
To spend all my money
On some wine and dine

You cancelled forty-seven dates
So what’d you expect?
I got a previous commitment
To my self-respect

You went to the restroom
But you never came back
Then I saw you at a club
Making out with Jack

I’d really love to see you
But last time I checked
I got a previous commitment
To my self-respect

You call in the morning
Needing a ride
When you were kicked to the curb
By another guy

I’d really love to help you
But last time I checked
I got a previous commitment
To my self-respect

my terrible luck (or constants and variables)

Can you see them?
See right through them
They have no shield
No secrets to reveal

Terry Hall, Our Lips Are Sealed

everybody knows
why I broke up with Ted
he’s so good at his job
and so lousy in bed

I probably told you
why I broke up with Ray
that silly mama’s boy
calls her six times a day

I guess you figured out
why I broke up with Bart
that hyperactive bowel
always makin him fart

it sure ain’t no secret
why I dumped Mr. White
his crazy sex fetish
and his sick appetite

I don’t have to tell you
why I kicked out that boozer
could never hold a job
such an adorable loser

the guys I go out with
they certainly suck
I’ll never figure out
my terrible luck

Hell is the Hunger

June 19, 2016

WLabedzkiHorror

Somebody finished
All the drink
Somebody puked
In the sink
And who trashed your apartment
And filled it up with stink?

Hell is the hunger
That’s taking you down
Hell is the hope
That cannot be found
Hell is waking up
On the dirty side of town

Cashed in your soul
For the lowest bid
Somebody ditched your wife
And abandoned your kids
Always had a reason
For everything you did

Hell is the hunger
That’s taking you down
Hell is the hope
That cannot be found
Hell is waking up
On the dirty side of town

Opportunity melts into
A big pile of sad
Don’t blame your mother
And don’t blame your dad
Somebody threw away
Every chance you ever had

Hell is the hunger
That’s taking you down
Hell is the hope
That cannot be found
Hell is waking up
On the dirty side of town

I’ll tell you what’s wrong with your girlfriend

June 17, 2016

wwJEALOUS

I’ll tell you what’s wrong with your girlfriend
I do it because I’m your friend
I’ll tell you what’s wrong with your girlfriend
I won’t stop till you comprehend

She’s snooty and snotty
And hurtful and mean
She’s hateful and haughty
And gross and obscene

She’s pompous pretentious
And full of manure
A definite menace
She smells like a sewer

I’ll tell you what’s wrong with your girlfriend
To help you is all I intend
I’ll tell you what’s wrong with your girlfriend
You’ll see that I’m right in the end

Her charm is a lie
She’s not all she seems
I look in her eyes
And I see all my dreams

She’s sexy and graceful
And lovely and free
Why’d she pick you when
She could’ve had me?

A Supple Heart

June 12, 2016

WWHeartcage

Everything
I say and do
Has a single
Purpose

I long to know
The tender soul
That lurks below
The surface

Ramparts guard
A supple heart
Bruised to
Hesitation

Time to go
Cuz she says “No”
And gives no
Indication

What I adore
Is nothing more
Than my
Imagination

Focus my Frustration

Middle aged man in his underwear playing video games and drinking beer.


You don’t wanna work
You’ll never get a job
My mother was right
You’re a stupid lazy slob
I’m working three jobs
Just to get by
What am I doing
With such a lousy guy?

Disappoint me
Let me down
Incite my indignation
I will always
Keep you round
To focus my frustration

Playing your Nintendo
Like a stupid little kid
Jesus won’t you tell me
What I ever did
To deserve a drunkin fool
Spending everything I earn
I shoulda stayed in school
I guess I’ll never learn

Disappoint me
Let me down
Incite my indignation
I will always
Keep you round
To focus my frustration

A Place to Put Your Angry

February 28, 2016

‘Cause everybody’s gotta have somebody to look down on
Prove they can be better than at any time they please
Someone doin’ somethin’ dirty, decent folks can frown on
You can’t find nobody else, then help yourself to me

Kris Kristofferson, Jesus Was a Capricorn

Been living here for fourteen years
I’m stuck inside a rut
I’m surrounded by losers
And piles and piles of smut

My wife took all my money
And left me in this hut
I can’t believe I fell
For that evil stupid slut

My rent just got doubled
And my salary was cut
Everywhere I turn
Another door is shut

You need a place to put your angry
When it wells inside your gut
You need a place to put your angry
When life kicks you in the nuts

Follow me. I’ll help you find
A way out of this pinch
We’ll find someone to blame
Or we’ll find someone to lynch

Sick Sad Love

January 24, 2016

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwsicksad

The way you treat your woman
Makes me wanna cry
You disgrace our gender
You’re a fraction of a guy
A million times you told her
She can’t do nothing right
You’re a tyrant and a terror
You’re so angry and uptight
Nothing she could try and do
Will ever be ok
Why you wanna be with
Someone you treat that way?

The way you treat your feller
Makes my gonads ache
Like he should live to serve you
For goodness gracious sake
Everything you say is
A complaint or a command
I could live a thousand years
And never understand
Why it makes you happy
To treat anyone that way
I’m just glad I won’t be ‘round
To watch your love decay

Drowning Man

August 18, 2014

A crying kid
A hungry hound
Investigators
Asking round
An angry spouse
(That crazy shrew)
And a horny
Girlfriend too

I don’t know what I did
To cause this storm
I need to find a place
That’s safe and warm

Creditors with
Just one goal:
Obliterate
My tortured soul
No savings for
A rainy day
Three or four
Ex-wives to pay

My troubles grow and grow
Against my will
Like a snowball
Rolling down a hill

What T F Is Wrong With You?

August 14, 2014

You never like my cooking
You said my roast was dry
You wouldn’t eat my lasagna
You won’t touch my cherry pie
If you don’t munch on something
I’ll get another guy

I do everything you ask me to
What T F is wrong with you?
I’m loyal and I’m pretty too
What T F is wrong with you?
A bigger fool I never knew
What T F is wrong with you?

You never liked my family
You said my dad was dirt
You came to brunch on Sunday
But you didn’t bring your shirt
If my brothers ever see you
They’ll fill you up with hurt

I do everything you ask me to
What T F is wrong with you?
I’m loyal and I’m pretty too
What T F is wrong with you?
A bigger fool I never knew
What T F is wrong with you?

You never do the dishes
You never mop the floor
You think that I’m your maid
You think that I’m your whore
You just need direction
So, buddy there’s the door

I do everything you ask me to
What T F is wrong with you?
I’m loyal and I’m pretty too
What T F is wrong with you?
A bigger fool I never knew
What T F is wrong with you?
