about

Jesus, this is hard to play. I can't believe I got through it in time to post it. Thank you, punch-in button.

Please enjoy my head-cold voice. I started coming down with a cold the night I finished "The Button Factory" and by mid-week I had a head full of snot. Unfortunately, 5240 doesn't wait for me to get better, so I had to sing this the best I could. It sounded so absurd to me in headphones that I started singing in a southern accent to make it MORE ridiculous. There's nothing worth doing that ain't worth OVER-doing, that's what I say.

lyrics

Everything's gonna be so much better
When I get down to my goal weight

I won't have to worry anymore
If I will fit in my airplane seat
I won't have to hide from the mirror
Like I'm some kind of vampire

Everything's gonna be so much better
When I get down to my goal weight

The ladies all will come running
'Cause I'm the life of the party
I'll finally be able to make some headway
On clean energy

Shove them aside
Keep them marginalized
Fatties gonna take yours
Then they're gonna take mine
First they took the darkies
Then the chicks
And now the gays
Fatties are the last ones
We can make fun of for days

Seattle's mayor will propose
Renaming the city after me
The world's leaders will come ask me
To bring peace to the Middle East

Everything's gonna be so much better
When I get down to my goal weight
