<blockquote>''I last edited this song on November 23rd, 2011, a month after my son was born. The lyrics are pretty awesome.

That is what the notes say in the google doc for the song.''</blockquote>

 

 

 

 

 

===Why Am I Getting So Upset 2===

You funky dipstick, messing around

You slack a (?) all over the town, you're trying

'til we sold out all the work

What's this work that you should be doing?

Make enough for the time you blew it, it's easy

Faint just a little bit more

You cost me 1800 bucks to get another door

You cost me 1900 bucks to get a door

I already wasted too much time

Going off but I still keep trying to fix you

Make you do the right thing

You cheap skate

You cost me 1800 bucks to get another door

You cost me 1800 bucks to get a door

 

 

 

1800 bucks’ll get you in the door

===Why Am I Getting So Upset_ 4===

<poem>

My wife's got a Pleistocene phone

She sounds like she’s talking on an ass bone in Hebrew

Baruch atah adonai, can you hear me now?

Hinjews know exactly what I'm saying

Gandhi only wanted to keep praying to Krishna

But Pitchfork gave him a 2, and he lost his cred

1800 bucks’ll get your foot inside the door

1800 bucks’ll get you in the door

I’m gonna trash all of my Google docs

Delete my calendar shout out “Ecce Homo!" (Ecce Homo!)

God never liked the name “God” so don’t call him that

But why did he make Oasis break up?

Forget the music, I’m talking ‘bout the love of brothers

1800 bucks’ll get your foot inside the door

1800 bucks’ll get you in the door

Baby, baby it's the (?)

Excuse me

I'll have just a couple more plums 'casue I'm hungry

He sounds like he’s talking through a broken (?)

Baruch atah adonai, can you hear him now?

But Pitchfork gave him a 2 and he got big (?)

Why am I getting so upset with me?

God never liked to be called “God” so don’t call him that  

But why did he make Oasis have a vicious spat?  

Forget the tunes, I’m talking ‘bout two brothers  

(?)

Why am I getting so upset with me?

What can I do?
