Misfits and Mistakes

[Meatwad Intro]

I want a swing beat here

It needs to move, it needs to move so the crowd can dance

You understand what I'm saying?

Ready and one, two, and three

One, two and three

Okay, that's not exactly what I said there but we can work with that

This is Meatwad and um backing me are the Superchunks

This is a song of theirs

But I want to show you a different side of Meatwad

An edgy side, a cynical side

I don't know about rainbows or french birds that dance over the horizon

Although that is a big part of me

[Verse 1]

All these open spaces

Well they give me no cover now I stand out here, reflecting all your fears off my odd surfaces

And those friendly faces

Well they just, disappear somehow

Behind the glass, the dirty window curtains and shades coming down

Well these bright clear skies

Well they they give me no peace of mind

I'm out here cooking all alone in the sun

Put me away I'm done anyhow

And those funny faces

Yeah they're all crumbling down

It's something like shying away from any shapes that you don't recognize

But you were never delicate

Paper clips and paper cuts

Rusty plates from out of state

And further away than that

Say you will say you will

Gather like leaves in the gutter

Say you will say you will

Put all the random pieces together

But you were never delicate

Paper clips and paper cuts

Rusty plates

Plastic six-pack rings 'round the wrists of the worst of us

Say you will, say you will

Gather like leaves in the gutter

Say you will, say you will

Put all the random pieces together

Say you will say you will

For all the misfits, mistakes, and the others

Say you will, say you will

Fall down together like lines in your letters

Put all the random pieces together

Put all the random pieces together now

Put all the random pieces together

(In a scrapbook)

Put all the random pieces together

[spoken]

That sounds like a good gift, scrapbook

Or a collage, put on a wall

Alright are we done?

One more cotton pickin' time

One, two, three, four

Come on y'all, do it
