lyrics

Did you really hope to hear what you were wailing?
Did you even want the song that you’re requesting?
I will hand this to you on a silver platter
Though I suspect that you may have been jesting
My patience testing
Your presence pesting… Oh…

CHORUS:
You’re a superficial bastard with no legs on which to stand
You’re a lonely histrionic, you’re the scourge of every band
You’re a parrot of pop culture, you’re an insult to the south
This night would have been better if you’d only shut your mouth

So since you’ve got my total, rapt attention
And assuming that your sentiments aren’t real
Since it’s much too late to ask for you to leave now
You and I, come on, let’s make a deal
I’ll please the folks
You tell better jokes… Oh… (CHORUS)

Now it’s not in my nature to be snarky
And to the great ones, I mean no offense
There are birds who paved the way for modern players
But let’s bring your humor to the present tense
That joke’s been made before
That song’s been played before… Oh… (CHORUS)
