Attaboy

[Verse 1: Max Bemis]

Attaboy, attaboy

Sometimes I have problems relating to Batman

A billionaire in a bondage suit stomping the destitute with Freudian jackboots

Then I realize he’s an anarchist radical in disguise

He probably listens to In My Eyes

Of course it feels better when you realize a punk can fly

He can fly

[Chorus: Max Bemis]

Friends wanted you to... just what they told you?

Have them both at, have them both at once, have them both at once

Why don’t you feel bad? Why don’t you feel had?

You split the baby just to please the crutch of desperate mothers out for blood

Oh, attaboy, attaboy

[Verse 2: Max Bemis]

Sometimes I gut and skin those who cannot reconcile my stance:

Muddled spiritual phrase; pseudo-political rage; beer gut on a sober man

Then I press my calloused flesh to someone who’s out of my league

And knowingly laugh knowing life is transcending heat-death and its aftermath

Attaboy, attaboy

[Chorus: Max Bemis]

Friends wanted you to... just what they told you?

Have them both at, have them both at once, have them both at once

Why don’t you feel bad? Why don’t you feel had?

You split the baby just to please the crutch of desperate mothers out for blood

Attaboy, attaboy

[Bridge: Max Bemis]

Why do you do

What they told you?

[Verse 3: Max Bemis, with Sherri Dupree-Bemis]

I think it’s a crying shame that you’re not at this show

Because I’m trying to tap into something you reluctantly know

Don’t jam it in private so all your co-workers won’t know

Nobody’s watching over you

You can nod your head precious

We can drown out the daytime soap you live

And the ghosts you’ve been mourning

I know we keep just plugging away at the same octave

Chords, we only know octave chords, a career built

On octave chords butchered to jilted time

But it’s the frightfully mundane that keeps us alive

So, keep on keeping on

Keep on keeping on

[Outro: Max Bemis,  with Sherri Dupree-Bemis]

Keep on keeping on

Keep on keeping on

Keep on keeping on

Keep on, keep movin' on (keeping on)

Keep on keeping on
