| My man Lars has got the talent and he flaunts it
|
| And he drops fat hits every one-hundredth concept
|
| The onset of his rapping is blunt
|
| It beats you up in the manner that he’d call post-punk
|
| You know the fans can’t get enough, always holler for more
|
| I think they’re even louder than they were before
|
| The previous encore
|
| Just hope they let him offstage soon;
|
| Vital business in the back where the hoodies are strewn
|
| Come up
|
| My boy Front is always managing his vocal takes
|
| Playing up his nerd persona, every day he integrates
|
| You want to hear a rap about a game from ‘82?
|
| Good news! |
| MC Frontalot’s got songs for you
|
| Full of rhymes that he drops, pretty hot, make ‘em rock
|
| With the style he concocts: nerdcore hip-hop
|
| Flash light on his head, ‘cause homeboy went and started it
|
| Grabbing your allowances, he knows how to market it
|
| My boy Front is in the tee shirt business
|
| My man Lars is in the tee shirt business
|
| Look at us, we’re in the tee shirt business
|
| I thought we were musicians — what is this?
|
| Frontalot is in the tee shirt business
|
| M.C. |
| Lars is in the tee shirt business
|
| Both of us are in the tee shirt business
|
| I thought we were musicians — what is this?
|
| You try to sell music, they look at you funny
|
| Not a transaction that necessitates money
|
| Not with the true cunning of the kids in the know
|
| But you look at them cheering — notice what? |
| They don’t sew
|
| Don’t go to the print shop and silkscreen their own
|
| Yet they’re always needing something to cover the torso
|
| That’s why MC Lars and I provide a product
|
| Sit atop high fashion. |
| Inventory! |
| You got it
|
| Costume glasses, mouse pads, robot USBs
|
| Captains are we. |
| Of what? |
| Industry!
|
| Rockefeller, Adam Smith, rock a cellar just like this
|
| Rock a crowd of rowdy kids. |
| So, Frontalot, tell me this:
|
| Is it all about the Washingtons or all about the art?
|
| Indie rap, we’re into that, following our hearts
|
| But part of the job — I mean the other part from caring —
|
| Is taking tee shirt money like we’re modern robber barons
|
| MC Lars is in the tee shirt business
|
| MC Front is in the tee shirt business
|
| Look at us we’re in the tee shirt business
|
| I thought we were musicians — what is this?
|
| Frontalot is in the tee shirt business
|
| MC Lars is in the tee shirt business
|
| Both of us are in the tee shirt business
|
| I thought we were musicians — what is this?
|
| Oh we know every fabric weight, every drop-ship price
|
| Every line-screen density. |
| Designs are precise
|
| Cotton woven so nice, blind eyes to child labor:
|
| You as the consumer are the lucky money saver
|
| And we savor all your savvy, as it leads you to our wares
|
| Up in the gilded age of geekery, we so sneakily prepared
|
| This foolproof method of making just the shirts you want
|
| With my top hat and my monocle and your money, I abscond
|
| Horris Records harvesting the forest near your home
|
| For the paper in the liner notes of every disc you own
|
| You should have known that our sweatshirts were pure baby seal
|
| Go ahead and treat yourself. |
| You love the way it feels
|
| The appeals of the audience:
|
| Get back on stage! |
| Where you at?
|
| By the merch booth, trying to get paid!
|
| Got a hundred people covered
|
| Though their arms stay bare
|
| The only way
|
| We get to do it:
|
| Check the logos they wear
|
| My man Lars is in the tee shirt business
|
| My boy Front is in the tee shirt business
|
| Look at us, we’re in the tee shirt business
|
| I thought we were musicians, what is this?
|
| M.C. |
| Lars is in the tee shirt business
|
| Frontalot is in the tee shirt business
|
| Both of us are in the tee shirt business
|
| I thought that we were rappers — what is this? |
