Intellectual property never meant anything to me

So I'm not crazy

For trying to pimp out a classic song

At 25 years old it's the human thing to do

Even though you know we know you think it's wrong

But after 700 covers and 1800 shows

And because it's the song that Colombian's love to hum

We voted to pull the plug and euthanize

Linoleum

I think I was born into this world

To piss people off

So I'm doing what a smart band never would

I'm taking our one well known song

And trying to make it

Not very good

Linoleum never meant anything to me

I never even wrote a chorus, just verses and a bridge

It's like bull-dozing a bowling alley, for a used record store

Decomposing your best song is sacrilege

But when most hopeless bands play it wrong

And it's Le Tigre's best song

And it was the last song that Tony ever played

It's time to put Linoleum out to stud

And make sure that it gets laid

That's me and I got a new kitchen floor

But I still sleep with a close friend

The leather trunk next to my bed

That's me on the street and I'm walking with my kid

When she told me she knows everything I did

Because she just finished our book

What? Wait. What?

What the fuck?

What the hell?

Why did she feel the need to tell me

That she knows her dad is more than kinda weird

She knows that I do drugs

She knows that I'm kinky

But what keeps me up at night is that her and her friends know that I drink pee
