The Song Formally Known As
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.
I wanna know what the nipples on a bloke are really for
I wanna know why there's no white dog shit anymore
What's goin' on in Chapman's head
When McCartney's still alive and Lennon's shot fucking dead
I wanna know why Jaegermeister's little and he's a pimp
I wanna know when Beadle's had a wank with his withered hand
What's the best thing for sliced bread?
Why did Jacko bleach his skin when he could've dyed it black instead?
I don't know what you can't say
Makes no difference anyway
Feel alright now, I'm back where the funnies are
Feel alright and you can't say
The way I feel gets in your way
Feel alright now, I'm back where the funnies are
I wanna know why an orange is an orange and a lemon is green
I wanna know when a blind man knows his ass is clean
I wanna know why the Germans ain't funny
I wanna know where all my money's been
I don't know what you can't say
Makes no difference anyway
Feel alright now, I'm back where the funnies are
Feel alright and you can't say
The way I feel gets in your way
Feel alright now, I'm back where the funnies are
I don't know what you can't say
Makes no difference anyway
Feel alright now, I'm back where the funnies are
Feel alright and you can't say
The way I feel gets in your way
Feel alright now, I'm back where the funnies are
