New Lyrics Written At The Supersuckers & Dirty Mugs Show

Last week while I waited for The Supersuckers and The Dirty Mugs show at The Shrine to start I got an idea and started writing it down on the envelope my ticket was mailed to me in. It was the only paper that I had on me at the time. Unlike the Alejandro Escovedo show, this time I made sure that my new lyrics/poem were not lost. Below is the scan of said new lyrics in all their roughness:

 



After I took a look at them I made a pass at the top page and it changed a bit. Some of the stuff on the backside was not connected and came out later so I'll hang onto those scraps, you never know when they'll come in handy. Below you'll see the finished (for now) product.

 

working man

present me with questions

none of which I like

pronounce the company motto

invoked with a straight face

I know that your way or the highway

doesn’t coincide with my way

you like my results but

say my methods gotta change

haven’t you ever heard

don’t fix what ain’t broken

just another example of dumbing

it down to the lowest common denominator

everybody is on even footing around here

no child’s been left behind

appearances are all that matter

what if I don’t want my participation trophy?
