“Smug”

You is one smug
son of a bitch yeah
Tutti frutti and all that booty
Your brain is caught in
a right-wing whirlwind
That must be why
your politics are rubbed in religion

This one smug
little punk on my street says
“Hey fuck you, I hate everyone!”
I tell him “Well hey kid, I used to be kinda like you.
They don’t accept you cause you’re so different”

Smug snob
silent but sorry, y’all
Smirkin’ stupid and rippin off your best buds
Groundhog
Day what you sellin, dog?
Roads are cracked out
like a not-so-smooth criminal

One smug
stubborn copper from Tennessee
said to me “I don’t like what you stand for”
so I say “So what, you don’t give a shit about me
and you probably take it in the ass
from a three dollar man-whore”

You’re so smug
You’re so smug
Is it in your best interest?
What about tolerance
and acceptance?
even when you're rejected

“Invisible Man”

Let me map out my plan
that you won’t understand –I’m the Invisible Man—
will you SEE me DO what I CAN?—
Outside bubble-town called Trashville
I sweep my beat across the streets so lightly until
I find a vain place to change my face
so I won’t go to jail

I wish sometimes I didn’t think this way

It’s a shit kicker of a life
biggie wiggle balls and strife
got my soggy sneakers tied on tight
and Lucy’s Sky- Diamonds shining bright

Feel the wind blow
I’m so, so insecure oh fuck no

Will you watch me as I go?
Wanna see me when I’m gone?
I can’t stay for long and I don’t got a job
I’m a Sunday snob
but I feel unknown and lonely
Not as homely as I’d like to be
one of them gnomes
except in a garden of Eden
instead of a heathen on the street
hard to see and no one knowin’ my roll
even though we meet
every other week or so

I’m the invisible man drifting through the homeland
and you can’t see my intentions
You can’t see my hands
as they wave so friendly
I know you’d like to see me
even for a second
Don’t you feel my presence?
All my energy and what’s kept inside of a man
Either way, no one knows what to say
but it’s okay
I understand

Why did I make myself this way?
Soon I’ll let myself be seen
How and when did this happen?
I’ll be seen someday
Darling I’ll be seen someday

I like the message in Smug...and Invisible man conveys a loneliness that I think a lot of us can relate to at times.
