Try not to think so much about The truly staggering amount of oil that it takes to make a record All the shipping, the vinyl, the cellophane lining The high gloss The tape and the gear Try not to become too consumed With what's a criminal volume of oil that it takes to paint a portrait The acrylic, the varnish Aluminum tubes filled with latex The solvents and dye Lets just call this what it is The jealous side of mankind's death wish When it's my time to go Gonna leave behind things that won't decompose Try not to dwell so much upon How it won't be so very long from now that they laugh at us for selling A bunch of 15 year olds made from dinosaur bones singing "oh yeah" Again and again Right up to the end Lets just call this what it is The jealous side of mankind's death wish When it's my time to go Gonna leave behind things that won't decompose I'll just call this what it is My vanity gone wild with my crisis One day this all will repeat Now sure hope they make something useful out of me
holy shit that oh baby run made me very happy
he's the king of improvisation
Try not to think so much about
The truly staggering amount of oil that it takes to make a record
All the shipping, the vinyl, the cellophane lining
The high gloss
The tape and the gear
Try not to become too consumed
With what's a criminal volume of oil that it takes to paint a portrait
The acrylic, the varnish
Aluminum tubes filled with latex
The solvents and dye
Lets just call this what it is
The jealous side of mankind's death wish
When it's my time to go
Gonna leave behind things that won't decompose
Try not to dwell so much upon
How it won't be so very long from now that they laugh at us for selling
A bunch of 15 year olds made from dinosaur bones singing "oh yeah"
Again and again
Right up to the end
Lets just call this what it is
The jealous side of mankind's death wish
When it's my time to go
Gonna leave behind things that won't decompose
I'll just call this what it is
My vanity gone wild with my crisis
One day this all will repeat
Now sure hope they make something useful out of me
Baby.
