Fact Check

from EP 5 by Joseph Landau

/

lyrics

Lately I’ve been fucking up
And it appears
Lately is a synonym
For 25 years

When I put your name in a song
Is it sincere?
Depends which syllables I stress
When I get there

Should I rewrite these words?
Should I show some more respect?
Or should I honestly sing
Every piece of shit,
That pops into my petty little head

Nothing rhyming’s ever true
It’s like phone sex
So I gather all my quarters up
And skip the fact check

When I put your name in a song
It’s insincere
To ever try to understand
Something so near

Should I carelessly spew
anything I want?
Or should I just try to sing
Something nice enough,
Because no one wants to hear a boring song

A voice is just a squeaky hinge
And the catch is
If I belt some nasty shit
I’ll get something
I’ll get something

Nothing rhyming’s ever true
But if the beats tight
You can cut up all your notebooks
Just get the tune right

When I used your name in a song
Was it sincere?
Well you won’t find the truth here
And that’s a fact dear

Should I sing this again
And again until I’m raw?
Or should I replace the words
With harmless hums and ha’s
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
