A little fun for song number one. Happy February!
You've got your cowboy boots, and your phony accent
Growing your hair long, you think you're heaven sent
I was raised to be polite but you make it impossible
Your epitaph will read, last seen climbing Mount Ego
I tried to be nice, but there's no other way
Don't have to go away mad, long as you go away
So raise a flag, raise a glass, have it your own way
You'll be alone on your head trip, 'cause Na-ma-ma-ma-imma stay out of it
This is, what happens when monkeys run the circus
Any idea that's not yours, you think is surplus
I'll tell you real slow, but you might need a thesaurus
Didn't think you were this dense, don't even know I'm bored, huh
I tried to be nice but there's no other way
Don't have to go away mad, long as you go away
So raise a flag, raise a glass, have it your own way
You'll be alone on your head trip, 'cause na-ma-ma-ma imma stay, out it
Like a bad penny you just keep turning up
Oh sooner or later you'll run out of luck
You and your big plans all around town
They won't go anywhere
'Cause you don't like to write things down
Getting ready for the opera with your me me me
I'm not making this up, it's hard to believe
But raise a flag, raise a glass...
Na-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma Na-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma out of here
Na-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma Na-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma out of here
Na-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma Na-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma out of here

"Don't have to go away mad, long as you go away" I like that!. The built-up irritation and frustration comes through and yes, this sort of partner tarnishes one's soul...
