lyrics

[YEEHAW, I GUESS THAT IS ALL]

Applebee, she's pretty when she wants to be
She thinks she's pretty pretty for me
But I really hate her cynicism besides
She's not my type of restaurant subsidiary

You take your bright lights and your big city
And you condense it to a dream fueled by your diffident self-pity
And you stare up at the sun until your vision goes gone
Because you're stupid.
You really don't know shit, do you?

But oh, you're writing cryptic poems again (how nice)
What a surprising turn of events
And if you let it all go, you'll never know
What a strange new attraction
For our friends down at the fashion show

Applebee, don't wanna be like anyone else
But you are so get over yourself
As Peter, Paul, and Mary once said
Most people dying on crosses usually stay dead
And how come no one told you before?

Well as the saying goes, you win some, lose most
Well I suppose your pessimism's really growing old
And I think that you'll be okay
So let's just calm the fuck down

Don't you stop writing cryptic poems ever, okay?
You will feel better again someday
And if you let it all go, you'll never know
(AND YOU NEVER WILL, EITHER)
What a strange satisfaction it could be for our friends
Who I hear have been suffering lately at the fascist show
