Haven't done one of these in a while. But it's cool, it's been stuck in my head for a couple of days, and I can almost relate. So
deal with it!

Bukowski
Modest Mouse
Woke up this morning, seemed to me
That every night turns out to be
A little bit more like Bukowski
And yeah, I know, it's a pretty good read
But who would want to be,
Who would want to be such an asshole?
Well, who would want to be,
Who would want to 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 or you'll tell me never:
Who would want to be,
Who would want to be such a control freak?
Who would want to be,
Who would want to be such a control freak?
Well, see what you want to see
You should see it all
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 goes perfect for us all
I want a better place,
Or just a better way to fall
Well, all that icing and all that cake
I can't make it to your wedding,
But I'm sure I will be at your wake
You were talk, talk, talkin' in circles that day
When you get to the point
Make sure that I'm still awake, okay?
Evil home stereo
What good songs do you know
Evil me, oh yeah, I know
What good curves can you throw?
(Here we go)
If God controls the land and disease,
Keeps a watchful eye on me,
If he's really so damn "mighty",
Well, my problem is I can't see
Who would want to be,
Who would want to be such a control freak?
Who would want to be,
Who would want to be such a control freak?
Went to bed, and didn't see
Why every day turns out to be
A little bit more like Bukowski
And yeah, I know, It's a pretty good read
But who would want to be,
Who would want to be such an asshole?
