trust me just buy one more thing
trust me now with my advice
trust me just buy this one thing
your life is solved with this device
stun gun fearing, chicken spearing, red sweater machine
muscle flexing, questions vexing, best i've ever seen
pasta mixer, bald head fixer, sculpt your abs and thighs
dehydrator, regulator, change before your eyes
trust me just buy one more thing
trust me now with my advice
trust me just buy this one thing
your life is solved with this device
you know they're fake applause
you know they're fake applause
you know they're fake applause, dummy
shouting knife boys, please your wife toys,
no place for bugs to hide
punching dummy, saran wrap mummy,
so thin it's only got one side
carpet squeegee, ask luigi, ground in dirt won't budge
slam-man punching, no fat munching,
flushing out the sludge (flush it)
trust me just buy one more thing
tell the kiddies tell the wife
trust me just buy this one thing
trust me and i'll change your life
here comes the english guy
here comes the english guy
here comes the english guy, dummy
man harrassin', fat assassin, pills do what they say
hair extension, fact retention, eight minutes a day
grapefruit peeling, used car dealing, juice down to the core
makeup lifting, pasta sifting, spills soaked off the floor
credit selling, peanut shelling,
eyebrow guy must scream (juice it)
bumper washing, chamois squashing, half the fat of cream
walls to cover, call your mother, glide in place all day
teeth get whiter, fuel burn brighter, pets will learn to stay
trust me just buy one more thing
trust me now with my advice
trust me just buy this one thing
your life is solved with this device
trust me just buy one more thing

Soyuzivka

I got a gal with a look in her eye, and a sweet tastin' pie
that she keeps on her windowsill, it gives me a crazy thrill
and I can't sit still, but I gotta go to soyuzivka
I tasted the pie then I looked in her eye, it was time to fly
so I told her g'bye, 'cause labor day weekend was about to arrive
and I had to got to soyuzivka
she looked at my gherkin, said that she'd have it workin'
and I wouldn't be jerkin up at the 'osela',
she'd play with my fella and it sure would be swell-a
so I didn't go to soyuzivka

the process in motion,
it takes days to hide the weaks
drowning in choice ocean,
the right option rarely speaks
ends the session, starts depression
ignore axe devotion, ignore placing worms in beaks
you look in the mirror,
you wonder just what to do
it's hard to see clearer,
when bullshit obscures the view
no use playing, no one's staying
you struggle to hear her,
but the muse rarely speaks to you
but as time keeps proceeding,
the more i despise it less
with frequent repeating,
the chaos loses its mess
no more taping, celebrating
turns out there's room at this seating,
i wonder which table's best
takin' a chance with the money and the credit,
pushin' buttons on the box to even out the debit
fakin' and shakin' and pushin' meters to the limit
countin' ev'ry penny ev'ry dollar ev'ry minute
set up get up fed up with the biz
sittin' at the gig wond'rin' if that's all there is
got a birthday gift drumsticks and a mic
my Honda blew up on the Jersey Turnpike
I made it to the studio one day late
I do believe in karma but I don't believe in fate
writin' and bitin' and fightin' with it ev'ry day
i set up my drums in a whole new way
hi-hat up the middle, toms on each side
the muse can be a bitch but she don't know where to hide
relax count stacks, don't forget to call
i borrowed Slavko's strat, but i used his Les Paul
memorisin' charts until it's fully automatic
got more music in my head than there's tall in Primatic
listen to the rhythm that i give 'em on the multi
watchin' ev'ry meter like the Phil' watched Solti
tanglin' my chord pushin' buttons on the board
try not to be ignored keepin' track of who scored
hope the people that will hear this will be just a little floored
even though i know inside of me they prob'ly will be bored
not doin' this for them but i'm doin' this for me
don't care which way the wind blows 'cause i like
it when it's stormy
not asking you to say okay or even be forgiving
i say you gotta make a life before you make a living
the process still in motion,
it takes months to hide the daze
afloat on choice ocean,
the right option sometimes stays
starts the session, ends depression
enthuse axe devotion, revel at the choice of greys
good thing there's so many greys
good thing for the shades of grey

there is no magic, there are no vampires, there are no
werewolves, there are no witches, there is no bigfoot,
there are no haunted houses, there are no fortune tell-
ers, there are no dowsers, there is no evil eye, there is
no bermuda triangle, there are no crystal powers,
there are no ghosts, there is no touch therapy, there is
no telekinesis, there are no alien abductions, there are
no chakras, there is no psychic surgery,
there are no past lives, there are no auras, there are
no channelers, there are no psychics, there is no
communication with the dead, there are no faith
healers, there are no alien autopsies, there is no
reincarnation, there are no devils, there are no angels,
there is no luck, there are no miracles, there is no
destiny, there is no fate, there is no hell, there is no
heaven, there is no satan, there is no god. and in the
end, that's more fair, isn't it?

hank you for calling. your call is very important to us.
If you are currently using a touch-tone phone, press
one; if you are using a rotary phone, press two. If you
know the name of the party you are trying to reach,
press one, if you do not know the name of your party,
press one anyway. To hear your options again, press
three. You have either pressed one or have extremely fat
fingers. Please enter the first three letters of the last
name of your party. Try again, schmuck, we have no one
named ztj. That's better. If you have chosen Fred Smith,
press one, if you have chosen Todd Smithee, press two,
if you have chosen Jane Smithson, stop calling;
she's notified the police. You have chosen Fred Smith.
To speak directly to Fred, press one, to avoid the
awkwardness of actual human conversation, press two, to hear the latest gossip about Fred, press three. You
have pressed three. To hear about Fred and his new
secretary, press one, to hear about Fred's fondness for
black leather, enema bags, and jello, press two, to hear
an excerpt from Fred's latest counseling session, press
three, to talk directly to Fred's neighbor who actually
saw the entire incident with the squirrel, press four,
to receive a full color photo of the outfit Fred wore to
what he claimed was a regular party with some of his old
army buddies, press five. To hear your options again,
press six. You have pressed six, but i don't feel like
repeating myself. If you're too stupid to pay attention
the first time then screw you.
