Monster

There
Under the bridge
There's a monster
Lurking on the surface of your mind
All the time... -ime

It's a new kind of monster
It sputters sighs and cries
Raving in garbage tongues and grunts
Proclamations provocations
Fabrications defamations
Exclamations indignation
And poor punctuation

And it's the words alone
Never sticks nor stones
That get you (huh)
That get you

And it's disgusting
Putrid and diseased
Dripping fat and sick
Bulging ass-cheek thick
And you never know for sure oh how it teases its allure
Will the monster finally charge and gouge and gorge?
Will the monster finally go too far?

Better check
Check check check check check check check
Check (check) check (check) check
(check) check (check) check (check) check
Check (check) check (check)
Check (check) check (check) check (check) check (check)
Check check check check check check
Check

Like a litter covered trail in the forest
Chip bags and beer cans
Condoms, cigarettes
Every time you check

That's what happens to your mind
Yeah

That's what happens to your mind

As you watch the monster it digs deeper in your brain
Transforming neural pathways with its toxic refrain
The path gets bigger the path becomes a street
The street becomes a super-wide super-dumb superhighway
The forest logged filled with chain-stores and smog

Now your mind is stuck in pounding
traffic migraine sunlight suffocates you
Mufflers and horns
And stupid bad generic pop
Spitting out your shitty speakers
No bass
Just the din of tinny treble biting your teeth on the tinfoil metal
And sticky gunked-up big gulp cups strewn on the shotgun floor
Yeah just a big old pile of big gulp
cups strewn all about the inside of your mind
All the time

Huh (da da da da da da)
Huh (da da da da da da da da da)
Huh (da da da da da da da da da da)
Huh (da da da da da da da da da da da da)
Huh (da da da da da da da da da da da da)
Huh (da da da da da da da da da da da da)
Huh (da da da da da da da da da da da da)
Da da da da da da da

For years you study the monster
Practicing your irony and outrage on a scraping violin
Ten thousand hours of shrieking malnutrition
Your practice makes you master of the monster

Your brain is chemically changed
Your mind goes dark and strange
And you fall apart
Like a naked mannequin
Clattering to the floor

I am not a fucking luddite
Or a cracked illuminati
Or a stubborn crazy codger I am sane
And i am telling you the monster is real

And we are in trouble (we are in trouble)
We are in trouble (we are in trouble)
We are in trouble (we are in trouble)
We are in trouble (we are in trouble)
We are in trouble (trouble)
Trouble (trouble) trouble (trouble)
trouble (trouble) trouble (trouble)
Trouble (trouble) trouble (trouble) trouble (trouble)
Trouble
