I Decline

Boss makes a dollar

I make a dime

So I do my leftist infighting

On company time

My crime is truer than the

Crime you incited

Every single time I come here

The mayor seems to get indicted

There’s a graft to grift

There’s a scam to scheme

There’s a pizza shop

With a sports TV

There’s consenting adults in a van with a flat

Girl you ever been with a man in a hat?

If I wasn’t doing this I’d be an aesthetician

If I wasn’t doing this I’d be in your position

If I wasn’t doing that then it’s a different situation

Girl you ever heard of stagflation?

Slowly we nodded in grim agreement

With a bleak conclusion we could not deny

If I decline, you’ll see it online

A thousand memes roll by

If I decline, you’ll see it online

A thousand memes roll by

Roll by

It was around this time of year

If I recall correctly

That your parents met the baby

That’s when I was reading theory

And journaling in film school

And crying in the anarchist bookshop

But if you have no plans on Friday

Well we’re playing in New Jersey …

There’s a ploy to play

There’s a person to please

There’s a preacher who does not care if you have bruised knees

From breaking wood in karate class or taekwondo

And you could tell, but do you want to show?

If you think that there’s a god, does he read the Bible?

And if you think he reads the Bible then what are his thoughts?

Does he flip the page and say “oh man I love this stuff,”

Or does he roll his eyes at stories people just made up?
