Make a List, Kid

lyrics

I promise I am of sound mind
Though I don’t behave like it sometimes
You said I am of sound heart
That’s one of you now; one’s a start

I may have dry and scaly hands
From scrubbing them clean whenever I can
I know I should build immunity
But I like to burn the germs off of me

Off of me…

I don’t want to kill the microbes, but I do it
Hopefully most slide safely down the spout
I want my mind to stay in line and muscle through it
But that’s easier written down than carried out

I promise I have no fever
Body runs hot this time of year
Maybe it’s that strong immunity
Not sure who I’m fooling… certainly not me

No, not me…

I don’t want to fry my brain, but I still do it
When I wish to whisper, usually I’ll shout
I want my mind to stay in line and muscle through it
But that’s easier written down than carried out
But that’s easier written down than carried out

Make a list, kid.
Handle business.

Handle business.

I may not want to face my flaws, but it’s time to do it
Dig ‘em up, put ‘em in a row; never stop to pout
I need my mind to stay in line and get me through it
But that’s easier written down than carried out
Always easier written down than carried out
One by one, I gotta work these fuckers out

Queen Cabbage New York, New York

Originating in late 2017 at SUNY Purchase, Queen Cabbage is a folky art rock band dedicated to synthesizing silliness, seriousness, life, death, the beautiful, and the grotesque into earnest, powerful, emotionally immediate music for eager feet to dance and stumble to, for thoughtful hearts to beat and break to, and—most importantly—for authority figures to disapprove of.
