If we can build a ping pong table
From a slab of wood in your uncle's garage
Then I believe we can forge ourselves a suture
To block out the sun if we get too hot
The kids scream, 'Boy, this summer's been a bummer!'
You could squeeze the tension out into cups
Sell it to your neighbors and make a few bucks
Just as long as you give a few fucks
And I've been trying real hard to sit alone in my room
Tickling my gall to write something for you
All I've got are some shit poems and a bass guitar
So if I called you on the phone, would you review me thus far?
Looks like I'm a three-star kind of guy
Gimp slice on an apple pie
And as for you, well, I saw you in my dream once
Oh, wait, I think I saw you whip my cream once
Next year, I think I'll thrash around like it's the 1990s
The very clothes on my body won't define me
Yeah, and you won't ever find me
And my fear is that you'll wish me luck on my next endeavor
And that they'll never, ever, ever find me clever
I'm a simple machine, man, pull my lever!
If a chair is down a leg, it ain't stable
We'll throw it to the back of your uncle's garage
For all the other boys who pick and pull, all the looters
One man's trash is another's mirage
The kids scream, 'Boy, we've had a ball this fall!'
You could pack your bags and head off to class
Write a scrap of wisdom as the door hits your ass
And reap the presents from your barren, old past
And what I've gathered thus far is I'm attracted to doom
Greasing my gears, I'm rusted by you
All I've got is a good poem and a bass guitar
So should I take to the city in a boxcar?
Next year, I think I'll thrash around like it's the 1990s
The very clothes on my body won't define me
Yeah, and you won't ever find me
And my fear is that you'll wish me luck on my next endeavor
And that they'll never, ever, ever find me clever
I'm a simple machine, man, pull my lever!
I'm thick
Can't get my mind off this chick
What she's doing is making me sick
Make it quick, and kill me!
But that's just girls
Them, with their curls
And their discomfort on tilt-a-whirls
This here's a team
Grab a microphone and scream,
'We are all simple machines!'
