lyrics

JT:
Everything’s a write off. My sister’s like, “I’m gonna write it off.”
Jeneane’s like, “I’m gonna write it off.”

ND:
Oh, I know yeah.

JT:
Everyone’s gonna write it off! Marci’s gonna write…
In fact, people don’t make a living they just write stuff off.

ND:
I know.

JT:
But one day when they’re 80 years old it’s all gonna be taken away.

ND:
They’re gonna be fuckin’ sorry…

ND:
It’s all gonna be taken away.

JT:
It’s all gonna be taken away. They’ll be out in the street. Gonna be sitting around with some oatmeal drippin’ out of their mouths. It’s gonna be very cold. They’re gonna - their legs are gonna have like veins and really bad things sticking out of ‘em like coming out of the skin.

Pseudo Beefheart:
Consume the position.

ND:
Johannesburg.

JT:
Johannesburg.

ND:
Tell me what’s the word? Johannesburg. Tell me what’s the word?

JT:

ND:
You don’t remember that from Saturday Night Live? I can’t believe it.

Not Saturday Night, Saturday Night, Saturday Night I’m usually in the studio doin’ something else.
Usually in the studio doin’ something. Wish I could be on Saturday Night. Wish I could be on Saturday Night. And do something’. But I’m not on there. I’m usually doing something else. Something else. Something else. Saturday Night. Saturday Night. Saturday Night. Saturday Night.

JT:
His available air-sacks were - were now…

ND:
He did not have enough air-sacks available.
They were closed for the evening.

Father Flash:
Phillip, these air-sacks are getting a little bit too high.
Hey Phillip, gimme ah - Gimmie a bunch of air-sacks.
Hey cut me a little slack on this one will ya Phillip?
Cut me some slack! For Christ sake we just left.
What do you wanna eat already?
Jesus Christ. Cut me some slack for Christ Sake!
You wanna pee? You wanna pee now?
Hey, do me a favor will ya? Cut me a little slack on this one Phillip!
We’ve been driving for ten minutes and you wanna take a shit already!

Everything's a write off
Everything's a write off

Everything's a write off
Everything's a write off
Yeah, so what?
