Better hide
cover up
layer up
drive it down
under the smothers brothers
fear and shame
they make the finest products
these days
you get what you pay for!
Their wrinkle cream
has been working wonders
washing away my years
and memories.
They have a tonic for that-
mostly gin - a perfect blend
of sophistication and sledgehammer
to absolutely crush
the disappointments
the let downs
the failed trust falls
(I'm still seeing a chiropractor for those)
and I'm smashing
those unhappy stories,
my hand could turn against myself
but it's the only chance
worth the risk
and the smothers guaranteed
I would never have to think
historically again.
I would be free
to dream a future
as big as my bank account.
So come,
come and eat,
come and drink!
Such sophistication
you can't stop smiling,
such sledgehammer
you'll forget all about me.
