Michael Merenda: Listen

Bored

(from the album "Election Day")
Wrote this one day at work in Amherst, MA while the boss was away. I was trying to imitate Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues
BORED
©2003 m j m j r ∞

Door mats hats phat sacks self-assured Dead Head, bread, BORED
Halogen Oxygen pox praise the lord ambivalent umbilical cord BORED
Georgie Porge in the rain with the girls he can’t afford BORED
Baked babes ache fake you awake ‘til they break your gourd BORED

Swell pop don’t stop can’t cry can’t be a whore til you ask for more BORED
Bleed seed tested testis bro no HIV cure BORED
Nipples lips hips tips dancers cancers doctors are you sure? BORED
Bought some condoms got em god they love to leave you sore BORED

When I fall bury me right where I lay
The sound of ten thousand cajun fiddles around my grave
One of these days . . .

I’m digging thru the trash for any change you threw away
I know one day I’ll deliver, I know one day I’ll decay
Who is making sure tomorrow’s not as hollow as today?
I’m a soap box boxer intoxicated moving forward anyway

When I fall bury me right where I lay
The sound of ten thousand cajun fiddles around my grave
One of these days . . .
When I finally fall bury me right where I lay
The sound of ten thousand cajun fiddles around my grave
One of these days . . .

Door mats hats phat sack self-assured Dead Head, bread, BORED
Halogen Oxygen pox praise the lord ambivalent umbilical cord BORED
Georgie Porge in the rain with the girls he can’t afford BORED
Baked babes ache fake you awake ‘til they break your gourd BORED

Swell pop don’t stop can’t cry can’t be a whore til you ask for more BORED
Bleed seed tested testis bro no HIV cure BORED
Nipples lips hips tips dancers cancers doctors are you sure BORED
Bought some condoms got em god they love to leave you sore BORED
