Nuclear War 04:36
do you want to die in a nuclear war? does anybody even know what it's for? who wants to die in a nuclear war? not me. in a nuclear war everyone would die. in a nuclear war everyone would cry. a nuclear war makes you sad. it's why a nuclear war makes me mad. so i say do you want to die in a nuclear war? does anybody even know what it's for? who wants to die in a nuclear war? not me. "what is nuclear war? i'm just a woman. help me.") in a nuclear war see the bombs go boom. in a nuclear war put you in your tomb. a nuclear war is not right. a nuclear war turn out the light. america and russia, why so cocky? how could you forget about nagasaki? and why is there a germany west and east? when all the little children want is world peace? i don't want to die in a nuclear war. and you don't want to die in a nuclear war. we don't have to die in a nuclear war. we're not gonna die in a nuclear war! because nuclear war is not a war nuclear war is not the war for me. ("what's no nuclear about war, anyway?")

i wish that i could be a serious artist, an artist that people take seriously. like leonard cohen, or patti smith, or lee renaldo or jim jarmusch. like lena dunham, or federico fellini, or bill callahan, or joyce carol oates. the kind you hear on interviews on npr or podcasts/ted talks, talking about art, and topics just like that.

And they got the blue checkmarks, and all the people send hearts, 'cause serious artists speak, and all the smart people listen. See them stroking their chins. See them think deep thoughts. Exchange witticisms, and then go back to work. Because serious is smart. It's so college educated. It's so urban and jaded. They hate the "common" and the "stock." Because serious artists, they got the tragicomedy. They got the stürm und drang. They got the depth and the nuance. Because serious artists, they got serious minds. They got serious hearts. And they never sing nonsense like sha la la la la la la la la la sha la la la la la la la la la sha la la la la la la la la la sha la la la la la la sha la la la lahhhh sha la la la lahhhh sha la la la lahhhh sha la la lahhhhhh here's a guitar solo tell ya all about it

Christmas is here again/gettin' egg nogged with your friends/presents underneath the Christmas tree/Santa goin' down the ol' chimney/but look at all the dogs just sittin' there/do they even know? are they even aware?/about Rudolph and his big red nose/jingle bells and winter snows/white elephants and candy canes/mistletoe and model trains/but through the dogs' eyes, what do you think they see?/do they even know, that it's the birth of Baby Jeez?/can they understand the joy all across the land?/can we take them by the paw and help them understand?/that it's Christmas/let your dog know it's Christmas/because if you were a dog, and your dog was you/you know your dog would give you a gift this Yule/maybe a Chili's gift card or marrow in a bone/because it's Christmas time, and just because you're a dog, it doesn't mean that you gotta be alone!/it's Christmas/let your dog know it's Christmas
