lyrics

Inconceivable
Irreversible
When he begged a smile to fall on her face
A jaw slacker
On a jackhammer
Unwanted banter now
Hardhat has no meaning
His head's full of space
Maximum machismo
Incommunicado
Licorice labido
Looks better than it tastes
Must be the bullshit you baste

(Hehehehoohoohahahahahahahahahahaha)
The boys are laughin'
Six in the mornin'
Hey shake it darlin'
Pick up your feet
Put a sock in it
There's nothing to it
"You best start running cuz
That bitch is on the way"
She climbs the fences
He's so defensive
"You think you're funny?"
She fakes a giggle
"Why don't you smile? Got nothing to say?"

Now, you done did do it
You successfully blew it
Don't call her "tootsie"
Or you will suffer the sock
These boots were made for stompin'
Catcall fever scratchin', cuz it
Sounds like someone's itchin' for a
Kick in the Cock
And it starts with a sock

Dick-a-doodle-dingus
The braindead live among us
Cackling, Cro-Magnon
mouth-breathing meat
Shameless innuendo
Find the structural crescendo
"Wordsmith maestro!
I see such valleys and peaks!"
The elevator aids and abets
"Ooh baby boy-o
Now he's un poquito!"
Masticated ego
Just so happened to knock out a crown

Now, you must have wanted it, because
You were askin' for it
This game of footsie could have
stopped with a sock
This shit game of chicken is
Getting pretty old
So if it ain't clickin'
then you will meet the clock

(Hehehehoohoohahahahahahahahahahaha)
"Hey, King Comedy!
Come listen to me
You plucked my pin-key
So I will strike you down"
Pick up his pieces
He's got six faces
He had no chance because that fight was a crock
All this could be avoided if you just put a sock in it

Now YOU didn't do it
but you're an accessory to it
You didn't do it cuz it starts with a sock
