This is kind of like the anti-new age song. It came in a flash after strumming an acoustic guitar with this string tuning: DACGBE. It’s the sister to Club Algeria but more blunt. Sometimes I just don’t care about anything. Fed up more or less. I needed to say it in a song. It’s catchy if nothing else. Who cares?

lyrics

HOLY CHRIST

Holy Christ
I'm goofing off and I don't even care
My advice
Do what you want before the end is here

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah is what I'm saying
It's crazy tryin' to sing some sense, when everything I see is one illusion and the real stuff's beyond the fence

I'm not fit enough to jump it
I'm not smart enough to see
The curve is such an unknown function
It makes for a bigger fool than me

Holy Christ
I'm goofing off and I don't even care
My advice
Do what you want before the end is near

Made a bunch of plans but had to break them
for no apparent reason or rhyme
I know it pissed you off but I'm not sorry
Sometimes I like to change my mind

Well, lighten up Francis, you're way to solemn
Can't you see that in the end it's a joke?
Anything goes (anything goes)
Haven't you learned that lesson?
Or maybe you like shoveling smoke

I'm not opposed to burning bridges
No, I'm not opposed to dropping out
I'm not opposed to lying sideways
And serving you a five course meal of doubt
A five course meal of doubt

(Club Algeria's sister solo)

Holy Christ
I'm goofing off and I don't even care
My advice
Leave all your worries to the billionaires

A cloud knows all my social secrets
A cloud owns this stupid song
My life is just a clouded fragment of what I was
Once when I was very young

Well, Holy Christ
I'm goofing off and I don't even care
My advice
Do what you want before the end is here
Holy Christ
Unwrap your dreams and let them in the air
Don't think twice
Sell off your crypt and pawn you're souvenirs
