I might be moving to Montana soon.

I used to be a fan, but gradually lost interest in him.

Kinda the same here. Once he died, well...

He had intelligence and talent, but the way he put it together for the public, like brown shoes, don't make it.

I wear brown shoes.

Nooooo! Well, at least make sure you are wearing brown shoes - or brown socks with your sandals.

Brown socks??? Are you serious? Only black socks with sandals. I'm not a total pleb. Hmph.

Brown shoes don't make it
Brown shoes don't make it
Quit school, why fake it
Brown shoes don't make it
Tv dinner by the pool
Watch your brother grow a beard
Got another year of school
You're okay, he's too weird
Be a plumber
He's a bummer
He's a bummer every summer
Be a loyal plastic robot
For a world that doesn't care
That's right
Smile at every ugly
Shine on your shoes and cut your hair


Be a jerk - go to work
Be a jerk - go to work
Be a jerk - go to work
Be a jerk - go to work
Do your job, and do it right
Life's a ball
Tv tonight
Do you love it
Do you hate it
There it is
The way you made it


A world of secret hungers
Perverting the men who make your laws
Every desire is hidden away
In a drawer in a desk by a naugahyde chair
On a rug where they walk and drool
Past the girls in the office


Hratche-plche, hratche-plche
Hratche-plche...


We see in the back
Of the city hall mind
The dream of a girl
Off with her clothes and into a bed
Where she tickles his fancy
All night long


His wife's attending an orchid show
She squealed for a week to get him to go
But back in the bed this queen
Is rocking and rolling and acting obscene
Baby baby...
Baby baby...


Gimme them cakes now, uh!
If I do, I'm gonna lose my...


And he loves it, he loves it
It curls up his toes
She wipes his fat neck
And it lights up his nose
But he cannot be fooled
Old city hall fred
She's nasty, she's nasty
She digs it in bed
That's right


Do it again, ha
And do it some more
Hey, that does it, by golly
And she's nasty for sure
Nasty nasty nasty
Nasty nasty nasty
Oh, and she knows how to nasty
She's a dirty young mind, corrupted
Corroded
And I hear she gets loaded

She turns me on
I'd like to make her do a nasty
On the white house lawn
Smother her in chocolate syrup
And boogie 'til the cows come home


Time to go home
Madge is on the phone
Gotta meet the gurneys and a dozen grey attorneys
Tv dinner by the pool
I'm so glad I finished school
Life is such a ball
I run the world from city hall

Derp. That one went right over my head. Like I said, I only know his more popular stuff.
