Dunning-Kruger Effect

I CAN DRIVE better than most, despite all the wrecks
I can drive better than most, despite all the wrecks
That’s the Dunning-Kruger Effect
I thought it was good even though it was bad and the audience left
I thought it was good even though it was bad and the audience left
That’s the Dunning-Kruger Effect
I don’t know why I can’t tell I don’t know why
I don’t know why I can’t tell I don’t know why
I can’t tell I don’t know why I don’t know why

Idea of a Wheel
03:26

YOU CAN LOSE your body
but don’t you lose your mind
You can be immortal baby
or something of the kind
like the idea of a wheel
As long as you’re still the person
you were when you were five
As long as you haven’t changed darling
as long as you’ve been alive
like the idea of a wheel
Upload download transfer
won’t change you a bit
But you won’t eat or drink or sleep oh no
or have to take a shit
Like the idea of a wheel
Sometimes what you’re thinking
depends on where you are
And you can only live forever
if that was how you start
Like the idea of a wheel

The Casual Fact
03:32
|
|||
I HAVE GOT OPINIONS on films I haven’t seen
and I’ll gladly recommend to you a place I’ve never been
but for something I imagine to be something I believe
there’s something that I’m missing, there’s one thing that I need
and that’s the casual fact, it’s so easy to know
you just see what you want, you just see what you want
That’s the casual fact you just know what you see
you just see what you know you just take it from me
and that’s the casual fact
I can’t say that I’ve met him but I’ve heard the word around
My sister’s doctor’s cousin lives over near his town
And I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t heard it said
but my sister’s doctor’s cousin put this picture in my head
And that’s the casual fact, it’s so easy to know
you just see what you want, you just see what you want
That’s the casual fact you just know what you see
you just see what you know you just take it from me
and that’s the casual fact
I find what I’m expecting is often what I find,
that often my perception seems to match my state of mind
Don’t think I want to know it, I just want to think I know
When evidence is lacking, there’s still once place I can go
And that’s the casual fact, it’s so easy to know you just see what you want, you just see what you want That’s the casual fact you just know what you see you just see what you know you just take it from me cause that’s the casual fact, it’s so easy to know you just see what you want, you just see what you want That’s the casual fact you just know what you see you just see what you know you just take it from me and that’s the casual fact that’s the casual fact that’s the casual fact

Morning Song

AND IN THE MORNING
before the sun creeps through my window
I sing this song la da da da da da
da da da da da da da da da da da da
And when I breathe in I breathe in the air
that’s all around me the oxygen goes
through my heart and down
da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
All through my body All through my body
All through my bo da da da da da da
da da da da da da da da da dum
And when the light dies when the light dies
And when the light dies I sing this song la da da da da da
da da da da da da da da da da da da dum

Miss Sincerity

COME ON MISS SINCERITY
won’t you come and dance with me
Oh wear me down, wear me down
A rusty tin man’s all you see
but I’m hoping somehow I could be
something more, something more
Miss Sincerity you frighten me
Your charm and my nerves do not agree
Oh wear me down, wear me down
I’ve got a guitar in my hands
Word armies answer my command
But before I reach the promised land
I have to see the contract I must sign
I dream and wonder day to day
If life is not a big cliche
And every hope has a price to pay
Are you coming to collect?
Come on Mis Sincerity
I’m nervous and I’m jittery
Oh wear me down, wear me down
Some people sing of bees and birds
But all I see is a dusty hearse
and little more, and little more
Miss Sincerity give me a try
I’d like to live before I die
Oh wear me down, wear me down
Love has made great cities fall
And reached around the thickest wall
But the most meaningful words will stall
When you read them out loud
And if I come and dance with you
I worry that you’ll run me through
It seems like something I would do
in a disappointing dream
Come on Miss Sincerity
Won’t you come and dance with me
Oh wear me down, wear me down
Oh wear me down Oh wear me down Oh wear me down, Miss Sincerity oh, wear me down oh wear me down (wear me down) oh wear me down (wear me down) Miss Sincerity oh wear me down oh wear me down oh wear me down

Mausoleum
05:18
|
|||
DON’T GO LIVING among the dead
put such foolishness out of your head
there’s many a room with a bed
where the living folks haven’t all fled
and there’s no sense of doom or of dread
Don’t sleep with those who never wake up
and don’t drink from Socrates’ cup
No not even a sip
lest you cower and stumble and trip
and lie bleeding from your lower lip
Don’t try living with those who are not
for although it’s a comfortable spot
Someone else bought and paid for that plot
There are qualities that you have got
Your neighbors also had ought to have
Don’t ask favors of those who are dead
Don’t try to make gold from their lead
Or think that a big marble shed
could somehow turn stone into bread
Or tell you what hasn’t been said

The Police and Me
04:01
|
|||
I ONCE ASSUMED we’d all agree
that unarmed children shouldn’t be
shot down without warning on the street
But now I find that I was wrong
some find a way to blame it on
the victim whose life is incomplete
Well I guess we just see differently
the police and me
And I guess we don’t see eye to eye
the police and I
Just as long as they’re afraid
they can gun you down today
and never face a trial or a court
Anytime and anywhere
they beat a man cuffed to a hospital chair
and still wrote him up as a suspect in their report
Well I guess we just see differently
the police and me
And I guess we don’t see eye to eye
the police and I
Don’t you call the boys in blue
you never know what they will do
If anybody’s feeling fear
why is it the people here
with guns and helmets vests and armored cars
Who knock unarmed civilians down
and shoot them lying on the ground
but never get arrested or get charged
Well I guess we just see differently
the police and me
And I guess we don’t see eye to eye
the police and I
Yeah I guess we just see differently
the police and me
and I guess we don’t see eye to eye
the police and I guess
oh I guess we just see differently
the police and me

YOU THINK YOU KNOW SOMEBODY
and then you find out it weren’t true
You think you know somebody
and the things they’d never do
I thought I knew my brother
Oh but that isn’t what I found
And even if he doesn’t go to prison
I don’t know I want him round
You think you know what happened
And it won’t happen anymore
But sometimes it’s uncertain after
Oh just like it was before
Well you know I still love you
Oh but I don’t know what to say
I thought I knew somebody
but it wasn’t that way
I thought I knew somebody
But it wasn’t that way

Last Time For Everything
04:54
|
|||
THERE ARE THINGS I used to do I don’t do anymore
I don’t regret the doing but I don’t regret the stopping even more
Anyone who’s kicked a habit or left town will know that things can go away
And there’s a moment before sundown at the end of the longest day
And there’s a last time for everything
There’s a last time for everything
The wealthy and the powerful like to think that it will never end
But you know what’s going up is coming down and on that you can depend
Everybody wants to hold on to what they have and not forget
But good or bad or ugly I can tell you it’s a pretty solid bet
That there’s a last time for everything
Yes there’s a last time for everything
Maybe this song it ought to have another verse
Could pull it all together then again might make it worse
At the end of all revision there’s a moment where you finally must decide
Something stays and something goes and someone more or less feels satisfied
And there’s a last time for everything
Yeah there’s a last time for everything
Oh Romulus Augustulus there’s someone at the door
It’s some guy named Odoacer with some words I’ve heard before
he said there’s a last time for everything (I think he might be right)
yeah there’s a last time for everything
Up on the bridge old Captain Edward Smith said to his friend
I know that I’ve been wrong before I think I won’t be wrong again
cause there’s a last time oh for everything
Yes there’s a last time for everything
and I said everybody knows someone who won’t be coming round
and you never know when parting what might be your final sound
but there is a last time for everything
Yes there’s a last time for everything
