lyrics

Mama loves you
Mama hates you
Mama beats you
Mama loves you

The ghost in the machine
Was just a man in a sheet
You can't spell "deceive"
Without the "lie" in believe

If you gotta follow something
Might as well follow me
The ghost in the machine
Was just a man in a sheet

You
Don't
Know
Me

Technicolor dreamland
Monumental scheme, man
Cocaine crazy
Jim Jones kool-aid

None of this means anything anyway
I don't know you
So get the fuck away from me

Averted gaze
Abortion craze
Peace, love and Columbine

Convolution reverb
Death disco heartthrob
Plastic rigged explosives
Like a Middle Eastern mannequin

I can't wait
For your Armageddon fallacy

Just a city on a hill

Poison Ivy Summer

Pickin and pickin and pickin those weeds

My country girl
From a white trash world
She worked me like a fuckin dog

I made the cash
I paid the bills
But nothing was enough for her

She hates it everywhere she goes
She hates herself
It follows her

My poison ivy summer’s gone
But the rash she left
It burns me still

Pickin and pickin and pickin those weeds
Jesus won’t you come for me?
You can burn the trash in the trailer park
But the trailer
It has wheels

She followed me
Through thick and thicker
She put me in a jail cell

She painted me the villain
But that’s the only role I know

Just pickin and pickin and pickin those weeds
And pissing on her corpse as I go

Pickin and pickin and pickin those weeds
Jesus won’t you come for me

Country girl
(You were my)
Country girl
