Fat Protagonist

[intro]
. step with a poorly predicated fallacy
. i will surely decimate your faculties
. i do not debate, don't at me, just
listen until you're re-educated naturally!
my medication actually helps me
feel like myself and it's real and it's healthy
set the goal to be certain with urgency
get to know the person in my selfies
or else stay drifting aimless
only my wits stay rich and famous
Surface from the winter, thusly
New GIRL - Jess Day... ngerously
[horns]
Write a fat protagonist x 4
[verse1]
kiss the gosh darn amethyst ring
it's the boss, got you thinking aren't mammoths extinct?
I'm a Mastodon; Totoro with glasses on
You heard that? Pass it on! (if not?)
REWIND like the Redman jam
that's what I had instead of Dead Can Dance
the poster boy of the Coast awards
punched a drink out of Jenn Grant's hand
funny on accident, I'm .
cashing in from passive income
Passionate, brash and winsome,
Handsome, dashing and abstinent from
Wackness, go ask a friend!
I don't rhyme, I'm assonant.
I'm a battle of wits, I'm your castigant!
Fancy pants, I’m a castle your king
Check my checkered past
The unique pattern I got on MY jacket
Only tag I pop is dye packets
Yeah, you bet your ass. I’m the
indie-est: Kanye meets Lindy
West I'm OFF twitter, i been depressed! I-
. catch more rec than recompense
now, watch me blow this cheque on rent
Check on sensitive friends more often
Or don't go make a big show at their coffin
No one wants that heartfelt RI
P post more than a moment talking, so
sorry for the frank proposal and
Pre-emptive waste disposal
Trash bag filler; it’s visceral
hashtag no filter; not a picture post
verse3
say mwah / french kiss noise / c'est moi
De La Soul meets Rene Descartes
Playing the part of an ancient astronomer
Lazily gazing all day at the stars
Ding dong ditch when I’m knocking on death's door
this is what you call in the best for; tally my test score
Sally forth, rally the rabble round;
Catch me in the office, king kong in my desk drawer
someone said I was a genius
which is very nice
but I am not a genius
the genius is Gary Grice
I’m scary spice, a five alarmer
Optimus Primadonna; floppy disk copyist
Off-mic posse cut boss fight; up all night in shining armour
I’m Jewel Kilcher, asking who shot ya?
Pool filter after laps with Chewbacca
Wearing a walkman; I swear it's a problem,
drawn to the rhythm like Sarah McLachlan
Met the Devil and beat him at Soul Caliber
Next level, I’m Liam and Noel Gallagher
Co-pilot of my own wild ride
Never get read like a week in old calendars
Hey hi there all you writers
Just write a fat protagonist
A hero the size of your ideas
To recognize your audience

Trying to get away
I was a child at the age of 4
Dad with a rubberhose,
me nervous, shaking by the car door
Tube goes in the gas tank,
now begins the cyphon
Spitting fuel out of his mouth,
lost ones prone to taste both
chemicals and cyphers
The erratic for whole-lifers
Trying to avoid becoming the sort of man
That i carry this pink knife for
Of course Running on no sleep
A head full of regrets
I faced a couple courtrooms
but they haven’t stopped me yet
If it wasn’t for bad luck?
I’d be just as uninspired as you
I am the cornerstone
beneath a house of fucking ill repute
My existence is defiance
My needle’s in the red
My mode is self reliance
But so much of me is dead.
This is how the cookie crumbles
This is how the state decays
A million little fumbles
Lead you shambling towards the grave
There is no take away
That isn’t just more giving
But our options are quite simply
Stop breathing or keep living.
Gasoline was a popular drink and it still is
The bitter
taste of acrid acrimony, smoke on the water, fire in the
Belly of the savage beast my music soothes; it’s a magic flute. It’s not a
Warp whistle . . it’ll have to do, it’ll transport you to the Black La-
-goon ; to the dark side of the moon and back, feel the crack of the plastic
Spoon . as it melts. You don’t have to be wracked with doom to pack this
Room, but it helps! Inanimate afternoons
When your plan of attack is moot; speaking rabbits and rats and raccoons with
Bad attitudes and habits and habitudes. Let ‘em
Eat cake but I’m damned if they’ll have it, too, when I
Wheatpaste my pleas and entreaties over wack graffiti to
Form a formal treatise on the political discourse
I give forth like Cicero at the tomb of Archimedes. While our
Hearts are beating, well-meaning darling little boys
Don’t bother, Sigmund Freud, I mean my father drinks Laphroiag like it was
Water. We all have been destroyed and seek our solace in
Sleep. You’ve got two options, nod off or keep a promise to me
gasoline was a popular drink, and it still is
it only takes one child to raze a village
and i carry that kid in a sling til its late thirties
pour out my bitter drink and stay thirsty

As far as falling prey to corporate manipulation
And the joke is
When he awoke his
Whole body was covered in Coke fizz
And the joke is
When he awoke his
Whole body was covered in Coke fizz
Put er there pal
I'm a buddy movie
No sudden movements.
Keep the money moving
I'm the ugly truth in shorts discussed by sports fans
And FORTRAN coders in a forum on 4chan
Gross! Go get a hobby that's not harassing
Your obnoxious reaction's obviously a bad thing
God damn it to Heck
All hands on deck when the jam's in effect
Rattle your castanets and cast your nets but no you can't interject
How did this power get overshadowed by cowardice
Take it outside like planned internet outages
Thousands is conservative when estimating my net worth
Unless, that is, you tally up my debt first
oof
Am I a goof like Shia Leboeuf when he lies in the news
Or am I like Schaffer, never shy in the booth when he rhymes in the nude
Lion's tooth
Bear claw
Elephant tusk
Tell me who the Hell i can trust
And don't say Elon Musk
And the joke is
When he awoke his
Whole body was covered in coke fizz
And the joke is
When he awoke his
Whole body was covered in coke fizz
Bon temps, been on top
Fresher than ever
Now that's what I call non-stop pressure
Can't won't don't let the people down
Peaks soar, valleys deepen
I never even out
No fair trade
Gotta wear shades, my future's furtive
My past imperfect
Forget my name just ask the nurses
I am a nervous wreck that masks their urges
And next thing you know I've graduated to mass murder
Backburner's in the building acting strange
You're not one of us, you don't have the range
You're a Coleman stove with propane
A no-name that no-one knows
Throat going green from your gold chain
In your old age
Nana nana nana
Nana nana nana
Nana nana nana
Nana nana nana
And the joke is
When he awoke his
Whole body was covered in coke fizz
And the joke is
When he awoke his
Whole body was covered in coke fizz
It’s Uncle Frank, It’s Doctor D
He's rocking flows like pistons
All these wack ass rappers swear to God they just production victims
I pick words up and twist 'em
Fuck feelings up and miss them
Obstruct the readings of you if you striving to un-mix them
Hooked in betwixt em
Where we stand and where we ball
Where we thrive if we approximate the basic wherewithal
Biochemical electric signify the rise and fall
Every night we cry and call out
To the why we find ourselves in thrall
Tall; all my guys be giants
Forget your self reliance
When you’re blinded with the science
Defiant, Steve Rogers
Catchin' hands like Russell Martin
Step into a world that MAGA chuds don’t want no fuckin' part in
There have already been a number of American recording companes poking their noses around Halifax looking for another Sloan
It should change the way music is made around here
Some day, the band's name will take its place alongside other Nova Scotian musical stars like
Rita McNeil, Anne Murray, and the Rankin Family
Holy Christ, you know what I'm talkin' about
We'll play an open mic in Dartmouth at O'Toole's
As far as falling prey to corporate manipulation
I think that these guys have enough attitude to avoid that

I'm forty
(the big four oh)
"five years from thirty" plus another five after
older than the tv infomercial for the thighmaster
Half alive rapper, never signed to Half Life
Snapping off fast like the segments of xacto knifes
Yeah, I do my own cuts in a pinch
Stage fright used to have my guts in a cinch
So much innocence diminished like dust in the wind
I'm not a loser, man, i just didn't win
six years older than my father when i got born
shopworn, well loved, heard around the harbour like a
Foghorn. they got warned but little did they know
I got middle aged but never been middle of the road
I put in the
work, the years, the decades, the ten thousand
hours. I worked service and lived in low rent housing
i toured far and wide, performed in bars, dives, and chip shops
bizarre ride, i made my mind an archive of
hip-hop. living in tribute to the forebears
the kid Trailblazed with pigtails, braids, and short hair
i fought fair, i couldn't wouldn't didn't stop
rocking to the rhythm and chewing more than I'd bitten off
I've shown my influences reverence
Flown by intuition, made known my preferences
For the freshest princes and the jazziest of jeffs
if you happen to forget my name, hazard a guess
I'm Lazarus resurrected, back like i left the oven lit
old McDonald, if not exactly loving it
get your nugget dipped in hot mustard and testify
I'm fly as the biplane that crop dusts you with pesticide
...Getting older as the crow flies,
I've looked at Joni Mitchell from both sides, I'm so wise
I've authored only fictions but I've told no lies
my libel turns to slander solely when it's vocalized
I'll bowdlerize you boldly til there's soap in your eyes, no surprise there
use caution washing that nice hair, or
before you know it your scalp is itching and
there's powder up top like the alps in Switzerland
Yup, shampoo for my real friends, and so forth
you know the rest. I'm all washed up, it's time to go to bed
aww shucks, you can buy my record
but you won't.

chicken milk x 4

say who, say what? say chicken milk
mm mm, chicken milk
say who, say WHAT?
[Lars]
Seasons greetings, pleased to meet cha
See me eating a piece of pizza
Happy New Year, auld lang sine
wave, editing all the dang time
Heard it through the grapevine, not much longer
Santa's coming, playtime's over
Sugar come dance like sugar plum visions
Should have done, would have done, could have but didn't
Isn't it grand? Here we come a-wassailing
Jostling around like my name was Jocelyn
El-ders, still the best lesson
Winners don't use word to Billy F Sessions
Snowy than a mug like the pic on Jeff Sessions
Picaresque beats, let us kick our best essence
Mm, yes, Tiny Tim with the blessings
Toast to the ghost of Christmas Presents!
[jesse]
I don't celebrate holidays I celebrate
Always, fill up my pillowcase dollface
All day breakfast all night radio
Broadcast, hunter in the tall grass, paleo
Way to go, dasher, blitzen, Dancer
Mikal kHill when he kicked the cancer
Knock on wood, shoot for the stars
If you don't know Lars then you doggone should
chicken milk

hot chocolate with the melted chips
caramel drizzle and whip
one time my nog had shell bits from the
blender! i was like, three days later - return to sender
damn! bought my own super nintender
Paper route cash, hey big spender
Ninety Two til Infinitoo
Try to not be too cynical
[Lars]
Now we don our gay apparel
Wrap a gift and say a carol
Santa's list says nice and naughty
Don't just stand there, hide the bodies!
Psych - you're not a murderer, more of a
Nurturer, kind and polite! Silent Night
Away in a manger, trust me!
Must be Jesse, Danger Ously!
