WHAT WILL THEY SAY (WHEN I AM GONE)
LYRICS
​Dummy
I went to school
But I cannot solve this equation
You plus me equals zero
Divided by me
​
I admit
That I am no nobel mathematician
And some things I’ll never know
What kind of dummy am I
That I don’t know how lucky I am
What kind of dummy am I
That I would lead the slaughter to the lamb
The dummy that I am
I just can’t understand
You must be high
To be my man
​
I’m a problem that needs more than simple calculation
A NASA nerd could get it wrong
​
I’m like string theory
​
In 1+1 Mine are beyond the standard deviations
And I wonder what you must be on
What kind of dummy am I
That I don’t know how lucky I am
What kind of dummy am I
That in a rush of blood I’d flood the dam
The dummy that I am
I just can’t understand
You must be high
To be my man
It don’t compute that me and you
Can sometimes equal three
And it don’t add up that you put up with such stupidity
So what’s in your veins must dull your pain
From ten times foolish me
Cause I’ve been a dunce more than once
What kind of dummy am I
That I don’t know how lucky I am
What kind of dummy am I
That I would lay waste to the land
The dummy that I am I just can’t understand
You must be high
To be my man

Roamiet
They say it's a love story but I beg to differ
Romeo was in love with a girl
And the next day another
Nowadays we call those kinda boys players
His love won't stay with her
Has anybody ever thought about poor Rosaline
You know the girl Romeo left behind
Juliet keep that in mind
All she ever wanted was to keep
What was hers to keep
But Romeo couldn't handle that and
That's when he met Juliet
I'm just a Petrarchan lover
A Romeo that's undercover
Looking for my Julian
He's hiding in Friar Lawrence's cell again
He's got the poison he says take a sip
Says baby it won't hurt a bit
But no surprise these are lies
Juliet you were hoodwinked
He never really loved you
You were just the rebound girl
Yea ooo yea
He's got his charming tis and thous
Romeo's rushing wedding vows
Quick little lovers often stumble
And if lips do what hands do
Then they should have just waved
Then they wouldn't have had the kiss
That led them to their graves
Ooh to their graves because
I'm just a Petrarchan lover
A Romeo that's undercover
Looking for my Julian
He's hiding in Friar Lawrence's cell again
He's got the poison he says take a sip
Says baby it won't hurt a bit
But no surprise these are lies
Juliet you were hoodwinked
He never really loved you
You were just the rebound girl
Yea the rebound girl yea oooo
And you wanna know why Shakespeare stopped it there?
Romeo was getting in Juliet's hair
When a new girl moved in
He moved out
Leaving Juliet with Junior running about
And here comes a sloppy, sloppy divorce
And Juliet called she wants the house and the horse
And don't you forget child support because
I'm just a Petrarchan lover
A Romeo that's undercover
Looking for my Julian
He's hiding in Friar Lawrence's cell again
He's got the poison he says take a sip
Says baby it won't hurt a bit
But no surprise these are lies
Juliet you were hoodwinked
He never really loved you
You were just the rebound girl
For never was a story of more woe
Than that of Juliet and her Romey, and her Romeo

One Way Ticket On A Yellow Bus
We love our babies
On that we must agree
So if you gotta shoot, then come shoot me
Let’s leave them out of this
Cause they’re too dumb to see
You gotta hate to prove what you believe
And I didn’t know I was signing them up
For a one-way ticket on a yellow bus
Where some who hear will remain nonplussed
Or a seminar on survival
I didn’t know I was signing them up
For a front row seat to the end of us
When every step feels perilous
Or the day hate had a revival
When I laid down in love
I guess I should have known
The hate they’d see when they were grown
But noone could predict
That when they left my home
I’d be sending them to a battle zone
And I didn’t know I was signing them up
For a one-way ticket on a yellow bus
Where some who hear will remain nonplussed
Or a seminar on survival
I didn’t know I was signing them up
For a front row seat to the end of us
When every step feels perilous
Or the day hate had a revival
And I didn’t know I was signing them up
For a one-way ticket on a yellow bus
Where some who hear will remain nonplussed
Or a seminar on survival
I didn’t know I was signing them up
For a front row seat to the end of us
When every step feels perilous
Or the day hate had a revival
I didn’t know I was signing them up
For the lockdown days and the hoax duress
And running drills for preparedness
Waiting for their killer’s arrival
I didn’t know I was getting them in
To a world that feels in a tailspin
When a life’s worth less than a firing pin
And the day hate had a revival
​​
Survivable
You make me laugh, I make you bend down to kiss me
But I already wonder why you’d try to dismiss me
Get into to me and I’ll eventually get used to you
Every Friday night you hold me so tender
But there’ll come a time I’m gonna have to surrender
Expose my wounds and have some faith you can make them new, but
Is it survivable to take you by the hand
Is it survivable to make you my man
Surviving falling in love is something I think I could do
But could I survive the day you say we're through
Maybe you could try do less to get attached to
Like calling me the lost sock you are the match to
And if you wanna stay you should not look at me that way
Cause give me one too many reasons to miss you
And it won’t be you, it might be me who dismissed you
Or you can go the easy way and promise me you’ll stay AND
Is it survivable to take you by the hand
Is it survivable to make you my man
Surviving falling in love is something I think I could do
But could I survive the day you say we're through
Could I survive the mystery
And erasing one more history
And resisting every urge to talk about it
Cause I’ve taken my last breath before
And there’s no reviving me no more
And if it just might kill me, I just might live with out it
So is it survivable to take you by the hand
is it survivable

​What Will They Say (When I Am Gone)
What will they say when I am gone
What will they say when I am gone
I know I stand before you boring and full grown
But if their memories are long
I did some shitty things when I was pretty young
So, what will they say when I am gone.
When all the people gather round
Please ask the woman with a frown
Don’t ask that dude who’s smiling, dancing on my grave
He’s probably from the early days
Or ask the man who’s shedding tears
We must have met in recent years
But not a word from all the ladies slapping hands
I think they knew a different man
What will they say when I am gone
What will they say when I am gone
I know I stand before you boring and full grown
But if their memories are long
I did some shitty things when I was pretty young
So, what will they say when I am gone.
That drunken dame banging a gong
I think I might have done her wrong
But anybody kneeling down to pray
Must just’ve met me yesterday
Cause I don’t hurt much anymore
But I’m a sinner to the core
And anyone who really knows me well
Has thought, “yeah, he might go to hell”
What will they say when I am gone
What will they say when I am gone
I know I stand before you boring and full grown
But if their memories are long
I did some shitty things when I was pretty young
So, what will they say when I am gone
