lyrics

Adult is another name for pornography
Look at me, I’m silly
I remember all of this in every way
Every detail like it was yesterday
If you want unjudgmental love
Then get a pet
I remember when I couldn’t read the writing
In a Peanut’s comic strip

Isn’t it amazing how you remember
Every single telephone number
That you’ve ever encountered
Always end the conversation with
Don’t tell him I called
I’m appalled
Just like a racist joke that uses three nationalities
We’re all very good poets
We’re all in great pain
It’s not my business when you’re pleasant
Sadness refrain
Kill the joke
There’s no hope for you

You’re my authority figure now
You’re my celebrity figure now
You’re my authority figure now

Do you believe in love?
Do you have faith?
Even if you don’t
Doesn’t mean I can’t escape
Rape
Hey it’s not legal yet but I’m sure
They’ll make a trading card about it
As the evening sitcoms tackle hard-hitting issues
Satirical miracle
Here’s your satirical miracle
