Sweating Out the Stout

Sweating out the stout
Sweating out the stout
The Guinness within us
Must come out
Sweating out the stout
Working hard but not sweating blood
Perspiration looks like mud
A foamy head on my shirt
Down below looks like dirt
Sweating out the stout
Sweating out the stout
The Guinness within us
Must come out
Sweating out the stout
Joggin’ down the city street
Parched and feelin’ beat
Nothin’ clear for my throttle
Only black gold in a bottle

Clown Car
03:54
|

Watch them all pack inside
A front seat six feet wide
Red noses, jumbo shoes
Time for a crazy cruise
Crammed in tight like sardines
White and square saltines
They know what’s best for you
Exactly what they’d choose
Shout another message from the Clown Car
Spout more nonsense from the Clown Car, baby
Shout another message from the Clown Car
Spout more nonsense from the Clown Car, baby
Because the world needs more of your literate wit
Look out ‘cause here they come
Full of hicktown wisdom
What is right and what’s wrong
An ever-changing song
Always do as they say
They always know the way
A shifting map in hand
Fluid trees, concrete sand
(chorus)

When everyone wants the power
But no one wants the blame
The people stay in shackles
Bound to fools and their shame
Never trust a suit
To serve them and you
Never trust a suit
Custom tailored snakes
Sucking all it takes
To live life as you
Never trust a suit
Never trust a suit
When trenchers fail, yet rise
Promotions purchased, not earned
The system’s inherently flawed
And all ingenuity dies

Nightmare World
03:54
|

Elder God will rise
Doom is in their eyes
Whisper in the dark
The mountain does bear the mark
Other gods they do cry
Great Cthulhu never dies
Battle that ended the century
Haunts the stone man's memory
Things in the moonlight moan
The shadow over Innsmouth has grown
This is the landscape of fear
He, the unnamed, is here
Horde of the wizard beast
From beyond old bugs will feast
Color out of space and time
Signals to the deaf dumb and blind
Cool air blows so sweet
Out beyond the wall of sleep
The terrible old man does scream
While cats of Ulthar dream
The crawling chaos does draw near
Consumed by the lurking fear
Through gates of silver key
Winged death mounts in the tree
The alchemist ashes have swirled
This now is our nightmare world

The alt-right
Is all wrong
Stop singing your Nazi songs
The alt-right
Back in hiding’s
Where you belong
The master race w/Tiki torches
Stolen from mommies’ back porches
Arians without variance
Doing an angry pee-pee dance
Mommy didn’t love you enough
Daddy tried to make you tough
The inferior of our species
Is white power human feces
The alt-right
Is all wrong
Stop singing your Nazi songs
The alt-right
Back in hiding’s
Where you belong
FUCK OFF NAZI PUNKS!

A spoiled rich kid
With a toupee lid
A human dump truck
Who’s down to fuck
One little orange hand
On Putin’s gland
Another’s on his phone
Bombin’ like a drone
A yuge baby man
With a master plan
To ban brown skin
Keep the white ones in
The Art of the Deal
Won’t feed the poor a meal
A reverse Robin Hood
Just like Daddy would
Even career crooks
Want to see your books
And Russian collusion
Leaves no confusion
Too stupid to hide
All the times you lied
Can’t stop campaigning
Or rage-complaining
Are we winning yet, Donnie?
Or is it just
Fake news?
Are we winning yet, Donnie?
‘Cause it feels like
We’ll lose
Can’t condemn Nazis
Because he’s diseased
Demonized the press
Since Fox “News” is best
Baiting “Rocket Man”
To give us a tan
From Korean nukes
With his Twitter pukes
Banning trans troops
How low can he stoop?
He hired Bannon
The racist canon
Global warming’s fake
We’ll grill like a steak
He’ll ruin your healthcare
And gut Medicare
Kneel for the anthem?
You traitorous bum!
Disrespect the flag
Go from riches to rags
Bone spurs meant no Nam
But Donnie gets to bomb
War heroes with bars
Shitting on gold stars
Are we winning yet, Donnie?
Or is it just
Fake news?
Are we winning yet, Donnie?
‘Cause it feels like
We’ll lose
