  1. Woke up this morning and it seemed to me,
    that every night turns out to be
    A little more like Bukowski.
    And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read.
    But God who'd wanna be?
    God who'd wanna be such an asshole?
    God who'd wanna be?
    God who'd wanna be such an asshole?

    Well we sat on the edge of the river,
    the crowd screamed, "Sacrifice the liver!"
    If God takes life, he's an Indian giver.
    So tell me now why, you'll tell me never.
    Who would wanna be?
    Who would wanna be such a control freak?
    Well who would wanna be?
    Who would wanna be such a control freak?

    Well see what you wanna see. You should see it all.
    Well take what you want from me. You deserve it all.
    Nine times out of ten our hearts just get dissolved.
    Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall.

    But one time out of ten, everything is perfect for us all.
    Well I want a better place or just a better way to fall.
    Here we go,

    If God controls the land and disease,
    keeps a watchful eye on me,
    If he's really so damn mighty,
    my problem is I can't see,
    well who would wanna be?
    Who would wanna be such a control freak?
    Well who would wanna be?
    Who would wanna be such a control freak?

    Evil home stereo, what good songs do you know?
    Evil me, oh yeah I know, what good curves can you throw?

    Well all that icing and all that cake,
    I can't make it to your wedding, but I'm sure I'll be at your wake.
    You were talk, talk, talk, talkin' in circles that day,
    when you get to the point make sure that I'm still awake, OK?

    Went to bed and didn't see
    why every day turns out to be
    a little bit more like Bukowski.
    And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read.
    But God who'd wanna be?
    God who'd wanna be such an asshole? ​
     
  2. Yes, Isaac Brock is an excellent lyricist.
     
  3. Like none other. :smoke:


    His biblical references both amaze and humor me at the same time.
     
  4. Such a good song
     
  5. i think the songs called bukowski, not asshole. good tune though
     
  6. I'm aware, man. :laughing:
     
  7. One of my favorite Modest Mouse songs.


    That section pops into my head all the time. Constantly find myself singing it. Not complaining though. :)


    Some more dank lyrics from these guys...

     
  8. moreeeeeeeeee


    Well Jesus Christ was an only child
    He went down to the river
    And he drank and smiled
    And his dad was oh-so-mad
    Should have insured that planet
    Before it crashed
    Working real hard to make internet cash
    Work your fingers to the bone sittin' on your ass
    I know now what I knew then
    But I didn't know then what I know now
    Penny found out as her hair was styled
    You should hide you kids
    While the dogs run wild
    Jesus Christ was an only child
    He went down to the river
    And he drank and smiled
    And his dad was oh-so-mad
    Should have killed that little fucker
    Before he even had

    Well Jesus Christ was an only child
    He went down to the river
    And he drank and smiled
    And his dad was oh-so-mad
    Should have insured that planet
    Before it crashed
    Working real hard to make internet cash
    Work your fingers to the bone sittin' on your ass
    Penny found out as her hair was styled
    You should hide your kids
    While the dogs run wild
    I know now what I knew then
    But I didn't know then what I know now
    well i know now what i knew then
    yea i know now what i knew then
    yea i know now what i knew then
    but i didn't know then what i know now​
