THE OBVIOUS
Surely he was there among you,
and you never knew it.
Maybe you could have discovered
him, but you blew it.
It's not enough to behold,
you have to be told.
You can't see the whole story
for the anecdotes;
you ignore the obvious
while you're taking notes.
But of course you had to doubt it -
there's no movie about it.
He was standing right there,
in the square foot before you,
but you looked elsewhere for diversion,
lest reality bore you.
You'd ignore the obvious
if it were biting your ass.

TO MY OLD YOUNG WOMAN
We'd go to a restaurant if you'd wanna,
or hang-out in your room and listen to Madonna,
or go out trick-or-treating for sexual favors,
and other age-inappropriate behaviors.
I'd forget that I was dealing with a kid –
you didn't waste my time, I did.
I'd sit there patiently while you'd gossip,
and pretend to ignore things that you'd let slip.
You'd never ask about your present company;
but I feared what you'd tell others about me.
Although I knew everything you'd kept hid –
you didn't waste my time, I did.
Even if though miss you,
I'm glad you're gone for good;
I never want to hear from you again,
but wish that I would.
Your moods would change like morning, noon and night;
I wouldn't respond, and you'd pull stunts in spite.
I'd put up with it, and can't remember how;
someone else has to deal with you now.
My love cost you nothing; you sold yours for the highest bid.
I didn't waste your time, but you did.

JE VEUX ÊTRE MORT
La vie est tres longue et dure
La souffrance, chose la plus sure
L'amour est toujours si triste
Faut que je sois réaliste
Moi, je veux être mort
Moi, je veux être mort
J'ai fait tout ce que j'ai pu
Je ne veux vivre plus
Travailler tant que je crêve
Au revoir, tous me rêves
Chaque jour est si chiant
Je baille tout en criant
Moi, je veux être mort
Moi, je veux être mort
Le monde est en gâchis
Comme la rade que je suis
Moi, je veux être mort
Moi, je veux être mort
J'ai fait tout ce que j'ai pu
Je ne veux vivre plus
Si je pouvais trouver
Une qui m'aimerai
Je saurais plus réagir
Le bien me semble le pire
Moi, je veux être mort
Moi, je veux être mort
Le monde est en gâchis
Comme la rade que je suis
Moi, je veux être mort
Moi, je veux être mort
J'ai fait tout ce que j'ai pu
Je ne veux vivre plus
Au revoir

MOMMY
He goes out on the weekend
with a whole paycheck to spend,
looking for a new girlfriend
to be his mommy.
A man can spend a life
and even waste a wife,
lookin' for Mommy.
He goes to a party where there aren't any men;
he's crawling around on the floor, again,
tryin' to get a beautiful lesbian
to be his mommy.
A man may use his cool,
but might just lose his tool,
lookin' for Mommy.

DESIGNATED LOSER
If you don't like the way you're living
nor the returns your life's been giving,
find a new place, start cleanly over,
making a brave new face for cover.
Someone will be there to remember
all of the roots that you'd dismembered -
a little sacrifice is always nice;
a Designated Loser will suffice.
Your old primary group is breaking-
up in directions each is taking;
everyone's waking-up to find
that he fears that he'll be left-behind.
Everyone's struggling to get there,
but they can't tell if they are yet there.
If you have your doubts that you'll succeed,
a Designated Loser's what you need.
Stuck in the mud with wheels spinning,
you have to seem like you are winning;
no matter how well they esteem you,
there's always someone (who) wants to cream you.
Give it your all - after you take it
from someone who will never make it:
everyone will treat you like you're blessed;
your Designated Loser looks your best.
When you're at your old gang's reunion,
you'll ask whatever happened to one
who never did seem to really fit-
in with all your old social bullshit:
did he ever finally go crazy,
or wasn't he too fcking lazy?
There's one thing that won't occur to you:
your Designated Loser hates you, too.

SHUTUPAND
When I come home from school every day,
I know what will be comin' my way:
you scream at me 'bout this or that,
as though you're picking a marital spat
that you'd have with Dad,
if he were around anymore.
You scare him away,
so this is what I am for.
(chorus)
Shut up and fuck me, Mom,
Take me back in where I came from.
I don't wanna be your husband without benefits.
Remember when I used to suck on your tits?
Shut up and love me, Mom –
just let me make you come –
but don't tell Dad
that I'm the best that you've had.
And it's bothering you how I'm growing:
the bulge in my pants that is showing.
Each ejaculate stain
is causing you pain.
You give me no peace;
you need some release.
Sometimes I wonder how long it's been
since Dad even tried to get in.
Now you're going insane and making me pay,
but I need love in a motherly way –
however you want it,
whatever it takes –
I just need to feel
like a wanted mistake.
Getting you on your back will get you off mine;
after we've done it, everything will be fine.

THE GENERICANS
We aren’t really from here,
we just had to come here,
so we had to lose our language
and forget our heritage,
to assimilate
into this state –
a melting pot
that’s boiling-hot
with competitive equality,
the price we pay to think we’re free.
Some retain the ways
of the old countries, olden days,
of fatherland and mother tongue,
but that's all lost upon the young:
another gizmo on the market –
another car, but where to park it? –
the music and the movies
that we export to people
in our former countries;
that make them want to come here,
but if they want to be from here,
let them lose their language
and forget their heritage –
why should they
be allowed to stay
who they’d been, where
we can’t get back in, there?

I WANT TO BE DEAD
In the musty air of the sepulchre
The whispered voices from the shadows
Beckon my return to my rightful home
Beneath the cool soil of this lonely planet
I want to be dead
I want to be dead
Love is always do sad
Death does not seem so bad
My living goddess of this earthly plane
Come unto me at the stroke of midnight
Unveil your pallid marble beauty to me
I'll make love to you - over your dead body
I want to be dead
I want to be dead
I've done all I can do
Now I want to do you
I want to be dead
I want to be dead
Love is always do sad
Death does not seem so bad
Join me now in the bliss of eternal repose
Far beyond the cruelty and madness of life
In the Fields of Elysium we shall experience the ecstasy
Which only corpses can know
I want to be dead
I want to be dead
Love is always do sad
Death does not seem so bad
I want to be dead
I want to be dead
I've done all I can do
Now I want to do you

HER VAGINA
all the boys
and all the toys
and all the noise that's made
for her vagina
who will get
and whom she'd let
and whom she hasn't yet
in her vagina
all the muss
and the fuss
and the monkeys made of us
for her vagina
what she sought
what she bought
and everything one ought
with her vagina
all the tricks
and politics
and whatever-if-it-sticks
for her vagina
not to mention
all the tension
among friends in contention
for her vagina
she settles-down
with some dumb clown
who works himself into the ground
for her vagina
she was too hot
and still a lot
but nothing were it not
for her vagina

SLEEPING BUM
He was the one
quick with a pun
and jokes you stole for your "lines."
Words in your way,
he knew what to say,
his wit sketches for your designs,
but when you learned of his
diminished condition,
you said that he'd put himself
in that position.
That's no way to treat someone
you admire –
that's like setting a sleeping bum
on fire.
He's someone you knew
would accept you
for what you let nobody know,
when you'd need a dose
of feeling so close
you felt naked not making a show,
but when your looks ceased
to give you protection,
you spewed self-loathing
in his direction.
That's no way to treat someone
you desire –
you're just setting a sleeping bum
on fire.
Someday, your career
will just disappear;
forsaken, your life will look grim.
Down your luck,
boy, will it suck
to find yourself looking like him.
Compared to you, now,
he looks like a winner –
get drunk and ruin his
happy birthday dinner.
That's no way to act when
conditions are dire –
you could be the
sleeping bum on fire.
That's no way to treat someone you admire –
that's like setting a sleeping bum on fire.

MY DREAMS
I had a life, but I left it behind me
as I made a 180 so that it wouldn’t find me,
and I buried everything that could still remind me
of what I’d used to be,
and which some still think is me.
I bought a new car and new closet of clothes
that look how I’m supposed in the new life I chose,
and I’ll have some of this; I’ll take some of those.
Maybe I’ll pass some to you –
it’s polite not to take more than two.
I live in that house that you see on that hill;
when I can, I’ll move up to a higher one still,
even so, I can’t sleep, ’cause I’m paying a bill
that never redeems
that I never remember my dreams.

SOCO-LOCO
They stand so patiently in line in front of Jo's
because it gives them ample opportunity to pose,
as though someone should recognize 'em from a magazine:
homo-het'ro-lesbo-metro- every other sexo in-between.
I'm goin' SoCo-loco
from all the firm and cocoa
boobs and butts –
I'm goin' nuts.
They sit and sip their double low-fat lattes so serenely
as though they know that someone's ogling them keenly,
licking lips to catch the foam suggests a sexy taste;
their cleavage is low, lest their implants go to waste.
I'm goin' SoCo-loco
from all the firm and cocoa
boobs and butts –
I'm goin' nuts.
So close yet so far out, struttin' up that hill
from Wet Salon to Guero's, noon to midnight, as they will;
Sunday afternoon, they give the impression that they
had sex all night at Hotel San Jose.
I'm goin' SoCo-loco
because of all cocoa
boobs and butts –
I'm goin' nuts.

ASSUCKER
Like a charming European air-kiss,
respecting the flesh that it manages to miss,
your mouth is in a permanent pucker,
because, deep-down, you're just an ass-sucker.
How you get away with it –
working your mouth 'til you finally hit.
You're a child of a privileged class,
and highly refined at sucking that ass.
Someday I might own the hole
at which you kneel at expense of your soul,
but while you claim admiration and awe,
politely suck my shit through a straw.
Assucker – bourgeois assucker ...

I know you know I

never seem to
be really with me
Even when we're
out together
then you get a call from
someone to pick you up
I ain't no sucker
He's your designated fcker
How many of them
have you gone through?
you forget them
I still know you
Every weekend
You want to go
out with me and
go home with another
With a little luck
I'll be your designated fcker

Puis j'ai torché ce truc-çi

Je suis en train de
Je suis en train de
Je suis en train de

Me dites que ce n'est pas grand-chose
Me dites que c'est mignon
Me dites que ce n'est rien de nouveau
Mais c'est ma nouvelle chanson
Je sais qu'elle est répétitive
Je sais qu'elle dure trop longue
Je sais qu'elle vous donne ennui
Mais enfin j'ai fait un song

SWEET LITTLE SELFSHOOTER
You got a camera for Christmas
and a new pair of tits
and a Barbie brazilian
that shows all your bits.
You’re lookin’ good now –
don’t you know it –
there’s a wide world of creeps
to whom you can show it.
Sweet little selfshooter,
right here on my computer,
with no hair on your cooter,
you couldn’t look any cuter.
Suburban cutie,
it’s your duty
to show me your booty.
Your messy attic bedroom
is a chamber of joys,
posing with your stuffed animals
and your vibrating toys.
Now you’re in the bathroom,
so don’t be long –
pose on the toilet
and pull down your thong.
Sweet little selfshooter,
right here on my computer,
with no hair on your cooter,
you couldn’t look any cuter.
Suburban cutie,
it’s your duty
to show me your booty.
Send the pics to your boyfriend
’cause you wanna hump him,
but he’s gonna upload them
the moment after you dump him.
They’ll all be on a website
where they can be seen
by creepy old losers
and you’ll stay 17.
Sweet little selfshooter,
right here on my computer,
with no hair on your cooter,
you couldn’t look any cuter.
Suburban cutie,
it’s my duty
to look at your booty.
