Worst Day of Your Life

The Lunch Function

I intruded in the hall
Slipped under the fence and then over the wall
Just so that I could get to you
After all

You need something that I have
Yes, it is cheap but it’s really not bad
I like when you push me away when you’re
Kind of mad

All of the plans fell thru
We did what we had to do
Now you can say nothing’s wrong but
It’s not true

And the Earth revolves around the Sun
It’s very clear what must be done

You’ve placed the calls. You’ve made the plans.
You invite me to lunch with your new fuckin’ friends
A couple of mumbled words and the
Evening ends

The broken joke left out for laughs
The witless remarks and the sarcastic jabs
Once held a certain charm
But that time has passed

All of the plans fell thru
We did what we had to do
Now you can say nothing’s wrong but
It’s not true

And the Earth revolves around the Sun
It’s very clear what must be done

I hope that one day you’ll realize
The height, the weight, shape and the size
You’re always sleeping
But never shut your eyes

And the Earth revolves around the Sun
It’s very clear what must be done
