Congrats
What you said last night
My hat’s off to you
Might start a war or two
I don’t think you’re a bad person
Chin-chin
That lie you told again
Here here’s to you
Might make the base come through for you
It’s not that you’re a bad person
I don’t think you’re a bad person
It’s not that you’re a bad person
Five stars
Scrape open scars, set off alarms, tell Mom and Dad to take up arms
First prize
Deride, deny, incite, imply, divide, divide, divide, divide
Hands down
Your phony scowls stir up the crowd, just like a two-bit circus clown
You win
You fluffer for the fringe, you dead-eyed, ginned-up hypocrite
I won’t say you’re a bad person
No, I won’t say you’re a bad person
It’s not just that you’re a a bad person
In actual fact, you’re the worst person
There is no doubt, you’re the worst person
And you’re turning us into the worst people
Yeah, you’re turning us into the worst people
And that’s why you are the worst human being known to mankind

“One Thing Leads to Another”
and then it’s “1999”
“Lips Like Sugar,” then “I Want Candy” then “Boy” and then “Time After Time”
De doo doo doo de da da da
I reach up for the rearview mirror
You stretch and our elbows, they graze
Side A’s closing with “Heroes”
I’m aching to feel more if just for one day
De doo doo doo de da da da
Just for tonight
Just for one night
Just for one time
“West End Girls”
Leads into “Temptation”
The tape gets stuck and it dies
The spell is broken
And dawn is breaking
“The Boy with the Thorn in His Side”
De doo doo doo de da da da
Maybe some day
Maybe one day
Maybe one time

Consumer Good

I rinse my take-outs
When I order in
Unless the sauce gets
Seriously baked in
Then they go in the regular bin
I buy eyeglasses,
Socks and underwear
With every purchase
A poor kid gets a pair
I wish they’d do this with coffee
or green tea
Then I’d do even more good
Every December
I give to charities
But only those who
Are 501(c)(3)s
Cause I get a deduction, you see
I built a spaceship
To solve our problems here on earth
It’s for the children
And billionaires and Captain Kirk
Cause I’m good
I do good
We're so good
We do good

I'll make
A twenty dollar bet
Adam won't get
His lunchbox back
I took it
An hour ago
Hes cryin in the snow
Ill never let it go
I hope
When Adam goes home
He hides it from his mom
He thinks of me alone
And when
We're swimmin at the Y
Ill splash him in the eye
Ill dunk him til he cries
I'll make
A twenty dollar bet
Adam won't get
His lunchbox back
I took it
An hour ago
Hes cryin in the snow
I want him so

Bob, you went too far
Get your ass into the car
Next time, stop before you start

Happy Ending

Maybe
None of this should faze me
Maybe the crazies
and the snakes in waiting
will wear out
Will fade out
Could be
this is like a movie
happy ending
is what we’ll end up getting
That’s what they said then
That’s how they prayed then
Think hard
Who will be the camp guards
Cousins, neighbors
“Can I see your papers?”
That’s what they said then
What will we say then
Happy Ending
Maybe
