Mild mannered, coffee dumb
how you’re feeling matters none
sentimental and too young
up for whatever, down for love, for love
you’re so gracious when you’re buzzed
you don’t have to spill your blood
we turn water into wine
we can save you for a price
so kick your shoes off and watch
the skinny people fight the cops (2x)
if god is real his humor’s fucked
modern apostles in four door trucks
poppin xannies staying high
the joys of burning subsidized
by foreign weapons and saudi ties
keeping christmas warm and white
pump out the toys for the others guys
then sleep the coke off while jesus drives
sleep the coke off
(jesus drives)
how bout some smirnoff
(jesus drives)
now fuck your gold cross
(jesus drives)
turn up my punk-pop
I’m sorry grandma I’m a nightmare
I’m sorry stranger I’m no friend
I’m sorry lover I’m in love
with everyone pretend
I’m sorry judge I shot the sheriff
before I fucked the deputy
I’m sorry dude if you’re embarrassed
because you’re so attracted to me
we’re so smart that we’re retarded
we’re so tame we’re avant-garde
we’re so open that we’re guarded
we’re so soft we’re getting hard
we’re so out there that we’re pop art
and we’re so brave that were afraid
and we’re so vacant that we're OCCUPIED
all the same
and we’re so crazy that we’re sober
we’re so in your face
we’re so self-aware we’re blameless
we’re out of our minds
and we’re in your brain
we’re so underground we’re famous
we’re so rich we’re underpaid
we’re so well-read that we’re jaded
we’re to privileged we act like slaves
we’re the voice of a generation
welcome to the information age
I got a job to go on vacation
became a priest to get myself laid
