Always Gotta Polish the Turds

from A Million Murder Ballads (2020) by Benjamin Lee Farley

/

lyrics

This tune's for who?
And uh, Harmonica what's his face
A song I never shoulda sung out loud in the first place
But it sounded pretty good in my head

This tune's for that other guy
And anyone else up to speed
A song I really didn't need
But it sounded pretty good in my head

A tune for that lady from I forget where
But she could shout
Even songs whose lyrics lacked clout
Though they sounded pretty good in my head

A song for too many others
Architects of ladders and their rungs
We climb to worlds that can't exist out loud
But they sound pretty good in my head

Always gotta polish the turds

You get the idea
"As long as I have a place to live so do you"
What am I gonna hold a grudge for 4 or 5 years?
Plot vengeance?
All that good shit?

I keep recording pretentious gibberish
'Cause I'm out of ideas

If you kill me I'll come back as shit on your heel
The ants in your sugar, the nail in your wheel

I'll let you figure it out

Here is the heaven you've known to be true
Since you were too young to be knowing such truth
Here is the hell where your kind it belongs
Thanks for the entertainment

I'll let you figure it out

If I die I'll come back as your hanging tree
The hot batch you shoot up or the last thing you see
Some kinda creature like what came for me
When you die I'll be back as the last thing you see

I'll let you figure it out
