Linewleum

(앨범: Single Album - 2021)

Intellectual property never meant anything to me
So I'm not crazy
For trying to pimp out a classic song
At 25 years old it's the humane thing to do
Even though you know we know you think it's wrong
But after 700 covers and 1800 shows
And because it's the song that Colombian's love to hum
We voted to pull the plug and euthanize
Linoleum

I think I was born into this world
To piss people off
So I'm doing what a smart band never would
I'm taking our one well known song
And trying to make it
Not very good

Linoleum never meant anything to me
I never even wrote a chorus, just verses and a bridge
It's like bull-dozing a bowling alley, for a used record store
Decomposing your best song is sacrilege
But when most hopeless bands play it wrong
And it's in Le Tigre's best song
And it was the last song that Tony ever played
It's time to put Linoleum out to stud
And make sure that it gets laid

That's me and I got a new kitchen floor
But I still sleep with a close friend
The leather trunk next to my bed

That's me on the street and I'm walking with my kid
When she told me she knows everything I did
Because she just finished our book

What? Wait. What?

What the fuck?
What the hell?
Why did she feel the need to tell me
That she knows her dad is more than kinda weird
She knows that I do drugs
She knows that I'm kinky
But what keeps me up at night is that her friends know that I drink pee
