ReplyDeleteWhoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa
I’m waking up, feeling numb
I wipe my brow and I resist my urge
I’m taking in the side-effects
I’m breaking in, shaping up, then checking out of the hospital
This is it, my punishment
Whoa
I’m waking up; I feel it in my gut
Enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I need Activia, I need Activia
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I need Activia, I need Activia
I raise my chest, feel the pain
It’s indigestion, I suppose
We keep it in to fit right in
Whoa
I’m breaking in, shaping up, then checking out of the hospital
This is it, my punishment
Whoa
I’m waking up; I feel it in my gut
Enough to make my system blow

All systems go, my gut hasn’t died
Deep in my middle, straight from inside
I’m waking up; I feel it in my gut
Enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age

ReplyDeleteParody for Blue Bird by Christina Perri
-Little Horsey-
How the hell does a cow lose weight, when all it eats is grass and it’s still so fat?
Teach itself to starve? Grumbling stomach, bruum bruum bruum bruum.
This little horsey, came galloping along.
I thought about you somehow, I don’t know why.
And this little horsey, was skinny and strong.
And I could not help it again, I thought about you.
Don’t you think it was hard? You’ve always been such a good friend. But when I see you moo-ing around… I think, you’re such a fat cow.
But this little horsey, sure looks better than you
If you were skinny like her, you’d be better than all the rest.
And you know-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow, skinny beats fat.
If you were so much skinnier, I wouldn’t have this song.
& don’t you think it was hard? You’ve always been such a good friend. But when I see you moo-ing around… I think, you’re such a fat cow!
How the hell does a cow lose weight, when all it eats is grass and it’s still so fat?
Teach itself to starve? Grumbling stomach, bruum bruum bruum bruum. //
Grumbling stomach, bruum, bruum,bruum.
This little horsey, should give you some hope.
If you gallop like her, you might beat…her.
what if you stop eating, youre gonna lose all the weight that you've gained. brumm brum brumm brumm ( part I missed after second chorus. :(

ReplyDeleteI judge by what wrapper they’re wearing
Just how many Twinkies I'm selling
To fatties drooling on to them
Each night seems like it's getting worse
And I wish we’d take the night off
So I don't have to fight off
Every fat guy drooling on to them
It happens every night I work
They'll go and ask Edle Seraspe
Find out just what would she say
If they all tried drooling on to them
Don't they know it's never going to work
They think they'll get they’re hands on them
With every glance they shoot them
As they all try drooling on to them
This time somebody's getting hurt
Here comes the next fat loser
Is that your drool on my Twinkie?
Is that your drool?
I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
There goes the next fat loser
I even fear the ladies
They're cool but twice as hungry
Just as bad for drooling on to them
Don't they know it's never going to work
Each time they change their design
Somebody grabs them from behind
Everyone keeps drooling on to them
This time somebody's getting hurt
Here comes the next fat loser
Is that your drool on my Twinkie?
Is that your drool?
I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
There goes the next fat loser
I'm hating that wrapper they’re wearing
Everybody here keeps staring
Can't wait 'til they get what they deserve
This time somebody's getting hurt
Here comes the next fat loser
Is that your drool on my Twinkie?
Is that your drool?
I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
I wish you'd do it again
I'll watch you leave here limping
I wish you'd do it again
Each night seems like it's getting worse
I wish you'd do it again
This time somebody's getting hurt
There goes the next fat loser

ReplyDeleteParody for Clarity by Zedd
Why are you still here when I hate all of your guts
Hate you more than anything, go die in a ditch
Go leave before I yell because we both know how this ends
Here goes my fist in your face and there goes your teeth
You left me for a piece of food I wish you didn’t need
Chasing relentlessly, still fat and we both know why
If your lumps is tragedy, why is it your melody?
If our love lasted, we need new bags of plastic!
(Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey)
If your lumps is tragedy, why is it your melody?
If our love lasted, we need new bags of plastic!
Roll through a buffet and refuse to give up any food
Your food falls to the ground and it makes you begin to cry
Don’t speak as you try to leave ‘cause you’ll ask for food again
If you ask you need to spend more money that you don’t have
You left me for a piece of food I wish you didn’t need
Chasing relentlessly, still fat and we both know why
If your lumps is tragedy, why is it your melody?
If our love lasted, we need new bags of plastic!
(Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey-ay-ay. Hey-ay, hey)
Why is it you melody?
We need new bags of plastic!
Why is it your melody?
We need new bags of plastic!
If your lumps is tragedy, why is it your melody?
If our love lasted, we need new bags of plastic!
Ryan P. Tunison’s Parody of Sick Puppies’ Connect; clever enough, it is titled Disconnect
ReplyDeleteThere could be a thousand miles between us
Yet I still can’t help that you’re inside my head
There is nothing I could say
You chose him instead
I want to disconnect from you
Over the tears you cried on my shoulder
I want to disconnect from you
I can’t stand being beside you
My mind is raging
How can I see him with you?
I have to stop myself from engaging
When the only thing left to do is disconnect from you
Can my silence be redefining?
You know my heart races when I break down your door
I ask but you don’t care to answer
You know I’ve been through this before
I want to disconnect from you
Over the tears you cried on my shoulder
I want to disconnect from you
I can’t stand being beside you
My mind is raging
How can I see him with you?
I have to stop myself from engaging
When the only thing left to do is disconnect from you
How could I measure my distance?
I feel the pain as you carelessly play with my heart
I want you and me to be together
But you wish to be a thousand miles apart
And you think that would stop me
I want to disconnect from you
Over the tears you cried on my shoulder
I want to disconnect from you
I can’t stand being beside you
My mind is raging
How can I see him with you?
I have to stop myself from engaging
When the only thing left to do is disconnect from you

Clowns surrounds
ReplyDeleteMy heart is beating faster
I won’t take this creepy life
I won’t look, I refuse!
This is how it feels when the fear is spoken
This is how it feels when your secrets broken
When your fear gets out
You have to hide from those evil clowns
I woke up today with a smile on my face
And then I saw the clown
No, not getting pied today
We're gonna go and duck for cover
(Don’t look at their face)
No, not getting pied today
We're gonna run as fast as we can
No, we’re not getting pied today
Pop balloons
'Cause it will make them cry
They can’t make me happy
when they make those animals
This is how it feels when you overcome fear
This is how it feels when take that pie back
When they pie me I pie them back
the pie will never give me fear
I woke up today with a smile on my face
And then I saw the clown
No, not getting pied today
We're gonna go and duck for cover
(Don’t look at their face)
No, not getting pied today
We're gonna run as fast as we can
No, we’re not getting pied today
The fear will disappear
My life will be normal
This is how it feels when you overcome fear
This is how it feels when take pie back
No, not getting pied today
We're gonna go and duck for cover
(Don’t look their face)
No, not getting pied today
We're gonna run as fast as we can
No, we’re not getting pied today
No, we’re not getting pied today
Not getting pied
(Not getting pied)
Not getting pied
(Not getting pied)
Not getting pied today
*Note: this is an actual fear that people have, my younger brother has it.

When I find you in times of despair
ReplyDeleteMy mother always hunts for me
Shouting words of contempt
And in my only hour of peace
She is fuming right in front of me
Shouting words of contempt, get away from me
Get away from me, get away from me
Get away from me, get away from me
Screaming words of hatred, get away from me
And when the most content of people
Living in the world agree
There will be some problems, get away from me
For though they may be here
There is not a chance that they will see
There will be some problems, get away from me
Get away from me, get away from me
Get away from me, get away from me
Yeah there will be some problems, get away from me
Get away from me, get away from me
Get away from me, get away from me
Screaming words of hatred, get away from me
Get away from me, get away from me
Ah get away from me, yeah get away from me
Screaming words of hatred, get away from me
And when the night is luminous
There is never a light that aims for me
Shine on until tomorrow, get away from me
I wake up to the sound of music,
My mother always hunts for me
Shouting words of contempt, get away from me
Yeah get away from me, get away from me
Get away from me, yeah get away from me
Oh there will be an answer, get away from me
Get away from me, get away from me
Get away from me, yeah get away from me
Oh there will be some problems, get away from me
get away from me, get away from me
Ah get away from me, yeah get away from me
Screaming words of hatred, get away from me

ReplyDeleteDude, That’s Not Your House
ReplyDeleteThere’s some dude on my couch wearing little booties.
Like the booties that don’t need a zipper to come off
And there’s a bag. A bag of Cheetos.
And his hand’s still in there, which is kinda weird. Oh yes it is.
Wait, there’s another. Another dude
And he’s passed out on the floor in the kitchen.
How’d they get here? I know I’m not to blame.
Maybe if I just go back to bed, they’ll be gone soon.
I go back upstairs and climb into bed
But who do I find beside me now?
Another Cheeto-dude is passed out on my pillow
And his face is painted orange and yellow and blue.
Going back to bed’s not an option, so I go to the TV room.
But it’s not surprise who’s in there.
Twelve more dudes are passed out in my living room.
And now this is a problem cuz I have nowhere to go.
I get that I’m groggy and that I shouldn’t have ingested all that last night,
But there’s no reason why these strangers should be here.
Then I get this feeling as I enter the kitchen.
This isn’t my home, so I should probably leave these dudes' house.

Enemy I got hate for thee
ReplyDeleteSo deep inside of me I don't know where to start
Yeah, yeah
I hate you more than anything
The words don’t ever come out nice
No, oh
When I try to explain it I be sounding so insane
The mean words always come out
I get all loud (and heated)
I can't explain what I'm feeling
And I say enemy, enemy, enemy
(Enemy I) ooh enemy, oh enemy, my enemy
(Enemy I) ooh enemy, enemy I
All I'm tryna say is you're disgusting enemy and I hate you
But every time I see you I get sick to my stomach
Puke always comes out
Enemy, enemy
Enemy I'm so annoyed by you
No matter what you do, (real talk), I'll never be around
No, No, oh enemy
See enemy I been disliking you
Before I even knew what feelings were
Oh enemy
When I try to explain it I be sounding so insane
The mean words always come out
I get all loud (and heated)
I can't explain what I'm feeling

But every time I see you I get sick to my stomach
Puke always comes out
Enemy, enemy
Straight up, I hate you,
So much, how could I not
I sure hope you know
If it's even possible, I’d hate you more
Than the word hate can say it
It's better not explaining
That's why I keep saying... Enemy I
(Enemy I) ooh enemy, oh enemy, my enemy

Used to Shower
ReplyDeleteMaybe it’s me, maybe I smelt bad.
No, no, it’s my fault, cuz I look so bad.
Maybe baby, some cologne could change that.
But I still would look so bad.
Cuz I just couldn't control that.
Baby when I used to smell good,
Nothing kept me from you.
I showered three times for you,
Anything you asked me to.
But I got tired of being washed,
the water bill was just too high.
Realize that I do bathe now,
Just not how I used to.
Now maybe I should start to shave soon.
Use some lotion
that smells like honey.
It's really not my fault
I'm fat, I smell.
You are the cause,
cuz all you did was cook good.
