Lyrics

Paraguay

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

While animals they do

Never wonder why

Just to do what they goddamn do

I'm goin' where sore losers go

To hide my face and spend my dough

Though it's a dream, it's not a lie

And I won't stop to say goodbye

Paraguay

See I just couldn't take no more

Of whippin' fools and keepin' score

I just thought "well, fuck it man"

I'm gonna pack my soul and scram

Paraguay

Out of the way I'll get away

Won't have to hear the things they say

Tamales and the bang of clouts

Are all I need to pump me out

Paraguay

I'll have no fear

I'll know no fear

So far from here

I'll have no fear

Tra-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

Tra-la-la-la

(While animals they do

Never wonder why

Just to do what they goddamn do)

There's nothing awesome here

Not a damn thing

There's nothing "wow!"

Just a bunch of people, scared

Everybody's fuckin' scared

Fear eating all the souls at once

I'm tired of it

And I dreamed about gettin' away

To a new life

Where there's not so much fucking knowledge

I don't want any of this "information"

I don't want "you"

No, not anymore

I've had enough of "you"

Yeah I'm talking to "you"

I wanna go to paraguay

Live in a compound under the trees

With servants and bodyguards who love me

Free of criticism

Free of manners and bores

I wanna be your basic clyde

Who made good

And went away while he could

To somewhere where people are still human beings

Where they have spirit

You take mother-fucking laptop

Just shove it into your goddamn foul mouth

Down your shit-eating gizzard

You fuckin' phony two-faced, three-timing piece of turd

And I hope you shit it out with all the words in it

And I hope the security services read those words

And pick you up and flay you

For all your evil and poisonous intentions

Cause I'm sick and it's your fault

And I'm gonna go heal myself now

(Yeah)
