Triangle man, triangle man

I know politics bore you  
But I feel like a hypocrite talking to yooooou  
and your racist friend

it was the loveliest party that I’ve ever attended  
if anything was broken I’m sure it could be mended  
my head can’t tolerate this bobbing and pretending  
listen to some bullet head and the madness that he’s sayin

This is where the party ends;  
I’ll just sit here wondering how yoooou  
stand by your racist friend  
I know politics bore you But I feel like a hypocrite talking to yooooou and your racist friend  
Out of the kitchen to the bedroom to the hallway…

(y’know I never realised how much this song repeats till now)

A woman came up to me and said:  
“I’d like to poison your mind  
with wrong ideas that appeal to you  
Though I am not unkind”  
…oh…

he could see it my way  
cant shake the devils hand  
and say you’re only kidding

there’s a picture oppostie me, of my primative ancestr…  
(somethingsomethingsomethingsomething)…

(ok, hold on…here comes my favorite part)  
_singing like a fool_

blue canary in the outlet by the window…  
who watches over you?  
put a little birdhouse in your soul.  
not to put too fine a line on it,  
Say I’m the only bee in your bonnet…

oh wait. wrong song.

Damn, what’s that blue thing…doing here???

(and my favourite TMBG line…)

Would it be okay with you  
if we wrote a reminder  
of the things we’d forget to do today  
otherwise  
using this green magic marker  
if it’s alright  
on the back of your head?
