“Hilarious, provocative, emotional, and supremely well-executed… The perfect example of an artist cut with a real point of view.” (NSAI evaluator)

Lyrics
We are surrounded by idiots, cornered by morons
Suffocated by bigots, governed by charlatans
If it were not for your big brown eyes, your hundred-dollar smile, and the promise of our life…
We are bombarded with bombast, bamboozled and bullied
Harassed by bad asses, indoctrinated from the pulpit
If it were not for your curly black hair, life wouldn’t be fair, I would, I would, I swear, …
I would go mad, I would go batshit, even bonkers, I would lose it
I’d need Xanax, lots of it, I’d go coo-coo I’m telling you
I’d be depressed, I would regress, I’d be a mess, that I confess
I’d call my Mommy, be all weepy, hurry, hurry, come and get me
We are wronged by the righteous, persecuted by the pious
Minimized by the pompous, dehumanized by the gorgeous
If it were not for the world that you dream, your empathic instinct, my little pumpkin, I’m not kidding, …
I would surrender, cave in, go on a bender, play Queen
I’d stay in bed, bury my head under the pillow, you know
Or I’d walk deep into the forest and find a cave where I could rest
Sit on a rock and start to sob I swear to God I wouldn’t stop
But I’ve got you and I don’t care about aggravations e-ve-ry-where
Yes, I’ve got you and I don’t care
