about

It is pretty pointless to play a sports bar but they were paying me. Outside of a couple of tables in front filled with friends absolutely no one listened to what I was doing. To test how thoroughly I was being ignored, I made up songs openly insulting the people in the bar. I made up songs about a psycho coming in and gunning them down and songs about date rape. If they had for a moment paid attention they would have most likely enjoyed kicking my ass… but I guess that is their loss.

lyrics

Douche Bag Bar

Don’t know how I got booked at this douche bag bar.
Must’ve taken that wrong turn in Albuquerque way too far.
So now I’m singing to my beer glass.

The bar is full but no one listens.
The Ken and Barbies shout over each other for attention.
Someone puts a fin in my jar says “Bob Dylan”.

She is trying to get her attention.
But he is busy shouting at the television.
The game is close. Time’s running out….

They’ve seen each other around.
It’s hard to be a stranger in such a small town.
When you got beauty in common.

Negotiations break down when he takes her home.
He is hurt when she tells him no….
Even though she was only hoping to find someone who would listen.
