It's So You

(album: The Dismemberment Plan Is Terrified - 1997)

I rolled my eyes, burst into tears
And how appropriate can you get?
The details emerged, the anger surged
I got to say I wish we never met

Hey, a party cruise on the River Styx
And I suppose it's just as well
Oh-whoa-oh-oh, oh, it's so you
A Concorde ride, right to the Pearly Gates
Oh-whoa-oh-oh, oh, it's so you

You mom was mad at all your friends
And vice-versa, it wasn't cool
I couldn't read your eulogy
I told your dad we kind of had an office pool

Hey, a party cruise on the River Styx
And I suppose it's the way to go
Oh-whoa-oh-oh, oh, it's so you
A Concorde ride, right to the Pearly Gates
Oh-whoa-oh-oh, oh, it's so you

We threw you a big Irish wake
I know that you're Bolivian, but
You always were the biggest fake
We chose the path of least resistance
And most fun, and most fun, and most fun

Let the record show that I will fight your legend at every turn
All the stories that were never true and the rep that you didn't earn
I will do everything in my power to make sure that this little stunt of yours gets you absolutely nowhere
But I guess I'm really talking to myself here
