Wholesale Anthem

[Intro]

This is me

I am here

I ask the world the price

And then I multiply that price by one point five using this very simple formula

[Verse 1]

I hear what I want to hear

And see what I want to see

I see two anchovies running towards me

Two anchovies could never hurt me; they're too delicious

I pull out a bag from my bag

Inside of it is a sign that reads: "cheating is wrong"

I nod

[Verse 2]

There's nothing I can't do

Except what I can't do, or what you don't want me to do

But sometimes all I want to do is nothing

Merrill tells us that the least thing our self-love longs for most

Others instinctively withhold

And that only when time has slain desire is its wish granted

To a smiling ghost, neither harmed nor warmed now by the fire

At a small family-owned beach resort

I eat a BBLT and drink pond water

My astrologer calls me and says I will die in a body of water

That's not a problem for me; I'm an Aquarius

And isn't the Earth basically a body of water anyway?

Life is but a place of brief incarceration

I used to enjoy hearing what I had to say to myself

It used to make me laugh

Now it just makes me stare at myself in the mirror

And do Brazilian dances

I dry my dishes on my clothes line

My bug bites take a year to heal

My favorite meal is sandwiches

[Verse 3]

A girl wearing frayed jean shorts asks me how I feel

I don't answer

When she walks away, I notice she has "game over" tattooed on the back of her thighs in the Tetris font

I nod

Surfers of the world's spirit unite

You know I walked through Paris while that church burned

And though I saw an ember in the dirt

It was actually a flower

Old women melt in the street and prayed

And I asked the rain how long the rain would fall

And nothing changed or answered

Mayhem is the coming together of friends

Pandemonium, a perfect, free lunch

[Outro]

And remember that though your head might hurt

Your heart still knows the truth

The dinner plans can always be successfully enlarged

Thank you for almost everything

At the end, they will take me out on my stretcher

And I will be in good spirits

Buckle up, you may want to survive this one
