| I saw a dead fish on the pavement, and thought «what did you expect»
|
| There’s no water round here, stupid, should have stayed where it was wet…
|
| Hello my name is Pip, and I would like to speak some lyrics,
|
| Into this microphone that’s amplified so you can hear it.
|
| This piece of diction is the intro to 'Distraction Pieces',
|
| That’s all the shit that flies around my head and keeps me sleepless.
|
| Such little food for thought my fucking brain feels anorexic;
|
| So many typos when I write, oh, I’ll claim I’m dyslexic.
|
| I’ve got your poem here, I’ve put it in this envelope…
|
| I’m setting fire to it; |
| hope you all can read the smoke!
|
| Most people where I live don’t know me and I fucking like it!
|
| Some people where I live don’t like me and I fucking know it!
|
| Some heads won’t know my name or give me a look, since
|
| I flow kinda strange like spina bifida footprints.
|
| Ha!
|
| I flow kinda strange like spina bifida footprints
|
| Nothing’s original, I stole this flow from the creator,
|
| And from some others too, can’t think right now I’ll name them later.
|
| If I say 'fuck' a lot well then I may gain more attention;
|
| If I say 'cunt' well then with some of you there will be tension.
|
| I find this interesting 'cause in the end they are just words,
|
| You give them power when you cower, man, it’s so absurd.
|
| But all that was covered by Lenny Bruce, back in the day.
|
| Nothing’s original, now I’m repeating what I say!
|
| Paralysis through analysis could stop me here
|
| But that’d just be an excuse to run in fear!
|
| So I’ll brandish the blandest man’s anguish with a round fist,
|
| Directed at the throat of any man that can withstand this.
|
| I will brandish the blandest man’s anguish with a round fist
|
| I see these rappers that say things like 'no homo' and such;
|
| It always seems maybe the lady doth protest too much…
|
| I’m really speechless but I speak less than you might imagine
|
| Sometimes I stutter and I sputter like the words are catching.
|
| I’m known to write about the shit most people won’t discuss;
|
| Some find my music’s too intrusive with their words and such.
|
| You see a mouse trap, I see free cheese, and a fucking challenge!
|
| But you stay quiet for fear of tipping the balance!
|
| When it’s horses for courses my horse is distorted
|
| I bought it for four quid then forced it through horse shit!
|
| We walked through these morbid remorseless discourses,
|
| And discuss these disgusting new sources.
|
| When it’s horses for courses my horse is distorted
|
| I’ve seen the world; |
| I’ve seen the good and the shitty bits;
|
| And all I’ve got to say is, «God damn, y’all are fucking idiots.»
|
| Some people heard my words and thought it meant they knew me
|
| Truth is, I don’t exist; |
| I’m just the soundtrack to your movie!
|
| Some background figure in a story that’s already scripted,
|
| And what I feel’s just felt for you to hear me fucking spit it!
|
| I jump in many different heads, through these words and poems;
|
| Always hoping maybe the next leap will be my leap home.
|
| Ziggy says that if I keep writing this shit
|
| There’s an eighty percent chance that Al can make it a pop hit.
|
| But Al’s an alcoholic and I’m a fucking schizophrenic,
|
| So I’ll close my eyes on this whole fucking world and that will end it… |
