lyrics

Keep your judgments to yourself
Your words aren’t necessary now
Keep your mind at ease; there’s no one here to please
So would you kindly shut your mouth?

I’d sell my soul for one more dime
I’m always losing borrowed time
If what you’re looking for is one more metaphor,
Would you kindly feed me my next line?

The bottles are piling up in the recycling
And slowly the backwash pools at the bottom of the bin
Forming a fetid and sort of viscous-looking fluid
If you tip it you’ll find about four ounces’ worth

Drink it, you swine, and don’t forget mine
It tastes like burnt feces and gin!
Chase it real quick, or it’ll make you feel sick
Give your bullets; I’ll give my good shin
Put up your sign and stand in your line
When you know you’re never gonna get in

Make me bleed and make me cry
Crush my bones; spit in my eye
The platitudes you speak to end your losing streak
Remind me of my horrid former self

Make me sing and make me dance
You wanted art; now here’s your chance
We deal in misery; there’s not much here to see
Just a sad record waiting for a spot on a higher shelf

I can’t blieve I just caught you with your girlfriend
Did you really think that I’d sleep through the whole entire thing
I didn’t pull my sheets over each of my poor eardrums
And I paid for it when I heard the sounds begin

Eyes open wide, I hear bumping and sliding and
Breathing through your gritted teeth
Man, I’ll be fine, but I’m staying real sly, trying
Carefully to seem asleep
Smoke me up tomorrow for my troubles and my sorrows,
But that’d better be some god damned good weed!

about

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.
