Oh hello, I didn't see you there
save it for the judge
if you think (something's funny)
close to God
when you're dancing
no one trusts you
you're a fraud
a baudaud
do you even read the news or have a job?
yeah you do
you say dancing,
dancing's something true
they reply that you're a dude
and after all, that all depends on who
is peaking through on Thursday
when you're bored and feeling thirsty
in the worst way
when you're walking round the corner
where you know they stay,
and after all, that all depends on who
is in that coupe
lookin for a grudge
and a whole bunch of money
eh...
close to God
close to God
close to God
close to God
I didn't know about that
just a little break
that's all I need
for a second
what?
oh sorry I thought you had said something
thinkin' bout TERFs right,
and riding my bike in my mind
it got stolen from my childhood home
I want my bike back
You wanna try that
You wanna try that
I want my back
the breaks were broke,
but I didn't mind
I want my bike back
I want to look like
I got my bike back
so I could try that
I wanna try that
I want my bike back
If you could try me
then you would try me
I want my bike back
I wanna ride that
sacrebleu!
I don't want to talk to you
if you to come through
you should probably
listen to the album boo
probably not
probably think that I'm disposable infact
probably think that you can pick and choose
the parts to keep in tact
sacrebleu!
that's just what you think is true
that's just everything around you
in the morning turning blue
that's just everything the mirror
ever told you turned out right
that's just nothing every queerer
than being hated on sight

pish posh
I wake up to nonsense
no such luck very angry
computer
staring at me
pisses me off
say "pish posh"
gorgeous how
u thumb thru a booklet
of seeds to buy
to grow up a plant
they do not tell you this
is as easy as it is
washed up loser
u r a washed up loser
and l am looking @ u angrily
across the bar
thought computers
taught me how to do this
but you just won't shut up
and let me
flip my hair to the side
l don't even care how it looks
who am I?
younger chelsea manning
with the twinkle in her eye
younger bubba sparxxx
but she's gay so it's fine
who am I?
better off forgetten
than remembered as a guy
checking if it's rotten
for some reason I'm surprised
well guess for tonite
we are just gonna go with rice

Music or Sex Song
03:25
|

|
I don't really care about the people in the back
with their hair and shoes intact
with their upkept nails, fuck that,
I prefer it where the party's at:
chicks and dudes who don't care about their hair and shoes
acting real rude, bad attitude
and if you want me to then yeah
but I don't really know about it yet
and if you want me to then yeah
god is on my side
I can feel it in my bones
I can feel it in my body
I can tlak about it but I do not want to
I'm alone in my room it is so fun
I could be with you as one, I could be with you as one
but I don't really know about it yet
and if you want me to then yeah
wait fix my back
break my body into pieces and then make a Cadillac
of a girl with what you find
without all of the things I lack...
little slimmer in the shoulders
and more prone to fighting back
so when he asks me to give him head
I just treat him like a fag
insofar as I wish he did not exist
he makes me mad
I give him a little kiss after we both leave very glad
for a pleasant interaction and I go about my day and stuff
and in the background
I keep it going
music in my head like it's the ocean
in a seashell, I'm doing well not
being real productive when I rock out
is that a joke line, or a real one?
so deep in this shit that that's a hard call
I'm playing hardball on the playground
they don't see I'm pretty with a new sound
like, I'll be around, but not for that long
and if I am it's probably just to sing songs
and if I crack some and show some weakness
patch it up and say it's just performance
fix my back
bend over chairs and tables, beds,
and on top of your lap
level with me, tip me over,
and then set a little trap
that I let myself fall into
and then give a little slack...
how's that?

Break down your
Head right now
Breakdown now
What's it take to get a little bit
Of comfort round here?
What's it take to get a little satisfaction
In the morning when you're looking for some action
And you wanted not to tell me but u do it every day
Stupid!
Look at me
I've been alive
Since 2017
In the screen
Look at my eyes
Break down now
Breakdown now
Break

Algorithm Crush

This is so fucked up
algorithm crush
company could tell
get out of my head
spoken: I'm not saying that it's necessarily indicative that like the attraction we build through the internet isn't genuine, I'm just saying that it's fucked up how social media companies can like intuit the initial excitement of attraction and then use that to modify our feed to make it a more profitable endeavor for them to - nevermind...
This is so fucked up
algorithm crush
company could tell
get out of my head
Throw away your phone
no don't, you'll be alone
no don't, you'll look pretentious
in the face of what you own
it's the right thing to do
at least it's right for you
I know that,
I bet you probably know that too
so throw away your phone
your little money maker
a couple hundred dollars in your pocket
you're a player
you're participating in
the goings on of when
you're young and hot and reckless
and surrounded by women
This is so fucked up
algorithm crush
company could tell
get out of my head
Oh, would you look at that
would you look at the time
oh well, well we can be
Digital violence
that we can't put behind us
digital violence
surrounds us compounding
This is so fucked up
algorithm crush
company could tell
get out of my head

Significant
03:35
|

|
significantly better than the best you've ever had
I don't want to make you mad when I say that
you don't have to pay back, I'm a giving girl.
everybody gets some everybody in the world
significantly better than the time that I was sad
after baggy clothes became flattering
it got me thinking about growing, and knowing myself better than before
or was I better off not betting on a losing breton horse?
significant how and when people come into our lives
and I know I sound annoying as hell, but
I've been thinking about growing, and knowing ourselves better than before
and how I barely ever knock on any of my good friends' doors
I chose my name that's cool to me
not to brag or diss my parents,
just a thought that is happening
and I wanted not to be
someone that you wanna see
now I'm glad that I am
sorry, sorry, sorry
and I chose to make my art for she
who is looking for an answer and likes listening
to a tranny with a gun who likes staring at the sun
making really silly music
that is also kinda sad
um yeah if we could just move the rest of it over there
and I chose my name (I chose my name)
and I chose my name (I chose my name)
and I chose my name (I chose my name)
and I chose my name (I chose my name)
and I chose my name (my name)
and I chose my name (my name)
and I chose my name (my name)
and I chose my name
it's Josey

Sabotage
03:19
|

And you're talking through the catalogue
not I do not want to cause talking sounds akin to sabotage
stick to brick and motar and mosey on to babylon
and you got to do the things you do
and it's backing off
wait like fuck off
sabotage (babylon) l don't want to talk about it
or the better babylon l don't want to talk about it
but l can still babble on
no it doesn't matter, but l don't wanna tag along
wait what was it that you know?
joy in the mind's eye
I don't want to talk about the difference in back of every
everyone was talking about and
I just abide by, I don't want to live forever
if you want to live forever
you should probably fuck off
and it's sabotage
and it's sabotage
what the fuck is sabotage?
it's very simple
look around
do your due diligence
it's very simple
sabotage
I've been feeling very very strange lately
(I've been feeling Avalon
I've been feeling on the on)
what the fuck is that?
duh, it's sabotage!
it's sabotage
it's sabotage
what the fuck is that?
duh it's sabotage
duh it's sabotage
duh it's sabotage
duh it's sabotage
duh it's sabotage
