Attaboy

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Max Bemis] Attaboy, attaboy Sometimes I have problems relating to Batman A billionaire in a bondage suit stomping the destitute with Freudian jackboots Then I realize he's an anarchist radical in disguise He probably listens to In My Eyes Of course it feels better when you realize a punk can fly He can fly [Chorus: Max Bemis] Friends wanted you to... just what they told you? Have them both at, have them both at once, have them both at once Why don't you feel bad? Why don't you feel had? You split the baby just to please the crutch of desperate mothers out for blood Oh, attaboy, attaboy [Verse 2: Max Bemis] Sometimes I gut and skin those who cannot reconcile my stance: Muddled spiritual phrase; pseudo-political rage; beer gut on a sober man Then I press my calloused flesh to someone who's out of my league And knowingly laugh knowing life is transcending heat-death and its aftermath Attaboy, attaboy [Chorus: Max Bemis] Friends wanted you to... just what they told you? Have them both at, have them both at once, have them both at once Why don't you feel bad? Why don't you feel had? You split the baby just to please the crutch of desperate mothers out for blood Attaboy, attaboy [Bridge: Max Bemis] Why do you do What they told you? [Verse 3: Max Bemis, with Sherri Dupree-Bemis] I think it's a crying shame that you're not at this show Because I'm trying to tap into something you reluctantly know Don't jam it in private so all your co-workers won't know Nobody's watching over you You can nod your head precious We can drown out the daytime soap you live And the ghosts you've been mourning I know we keep just plugging away at the same octave Chords, we only know octave chords, a career built On octave chords butchered to jilted time But it's the frightfully mundane that keeps us alive So, keep on keeping on Keep on keeping on [Outro: Max Bemis, with Sherri Dupree-Bemis] Keep on keeping on Keep on keeping on Keep on keeping on Keep on, keep movin' on (keeping on) Keep on keeping on
