[Verse 1]
We're moving right along here
(Hello, patient 24602)
I'm sorry, hello
(How are you feeling?)
Um, not great
(Has the treatment been working?)
Um, I don't think so, no
(What are your remaining symptoms?)
I just, I, I internalize my feelings a lot
I have trouble articulating how I am feeling to other people
I feel like, I just, I
(So basically, you're still a little bitch)
Yes, very mature of you, disembodied voice way up there
(I was just joking, ****)
Alright, you're not as safe in Wisconsin as you might think with that shit
(I'm not human I can say whatever I want)
[Verse 2]
Alright, just, just, what? Get to the point
What's wrong with me, please?
Please
(Your emotions and your logic are at war)
Okay
(Your creativity and your analysis are at war)
(And most simply, your left and right brain are at war)
My left and my
(To fix the problem, we must separate them from each other)
Sep
(Splitting your neurological functions in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
Well, can we book an appointment or something?
You don't just start counting down to major medical procedures
(This may hurt a bit)
I don't even know what it is
(Zero)
Just tell me what you're
[Verse 3]
(Isolation complete)
(This is Bo's left brain, objective, logical, cold, analytical)
(Aware of patterns, aware of trends)
(He's efficient and a prick)
(This is Bo's right brain, subjective, creative, sensory)
(Aware of feelings, aware of people)
(He's emotional and an idiot)
That's your opinion, just careful with opinions
(Okay, boys)
(Play nice)
[Verse 4]
I am the left brain, I am the left brain
I work real hard until my inevitable death brain
You got a job to do, you'd better do it right, in the right way
Is with the left brain's might
I like Oreo's and pussy
Yes, in that order, and I cried for at least an hour
After watching Toy Story 3, Woody
I am the right brain, I have feelings
I'm a little all over the place but I'm lustful, trustful
And I'm looking for somebody to love, or put my penis in
[Verse 5]
Here comes a female, here comes a female
Puff your chest out, take your phone and check your email
Our evolutionary purpose is repopulate
So gather data now and see if she's a possible mate
Holy fuck, I think she might be the one
There's something about her
I just can't describe it, tits
[Verse 6]
I am the Earth, she is the glorious sun
I want her to trust me and I just want her to, how do I say this?
Sit on my face? Sit, sit on my face
Alright, now right brain, you're being insane
No, left brain, I'm just being alive
You should try it, you might like it
[Verse 7]
I worked hard to give him everything he care about
You were worried 'bout the things that he was scared about
I'm calm and collected when you act wild
I am the adult, you are the child
You think you're the right one every time
You think you know everything but you don't know anything
At all, half of his problems were supposed to be mine
But you wanted everything, I hope that you're happy
'Cause he's sure not
[Verse 8]
Well according to my calculation
I'm sorry let me run the numbers again
Um, you're a pussy
Name calling, really, you're just gonna do name calling?
I'm not calling names, right, I'm just stating facts
And the fact is you're a quivering pussy
I'm the pussy? Well, at least I don't play with toys still, okay?
Rubic's cubes are not toys, they keep my spatial reasoning skills
Sharp, left brain plays with toys, look at you
Mister you're a toy player
Well, at least I did my fucking job, alright?
I kept him working, I kept him productive
You were supposed to look after him
You were supposed to keep him emotionally stable through all of this
Now you try to blame me for how he's feeling
How he's feeling, if he's feeling unhappy it's because you failed him
You did this to him, he hates you, I know he does
He fucking hates you
[Verse 9]
Right brain, look, I'm sorry, okay?
No you're not
Look, maybe there's something that we could do together
Together?
Take the best parts of both of us, put 'em together
I'm listening
It would let you let your feelings out
It would let me analyze
So you can man the themes, I'll man the form
It's something that George Carlin did
It's something that Steve Martin did
It's something special that we could both perform
Do you know what it is?
[Verse 10]
Juggling, we could juggle and juggle our cares away
It was comedy, we could do comedy together
(Initiate reassembly)
Alright, left, right brain, look, we're gonna do comedy together
Alright, we gotta do comedy, alright
Alright, left brain, I'll do comedy with you
Look, we can fix it like this, we can make him happy again, I promise
(Once in reformation in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
Alright, left brain, left brain, I love you
(Experimentation complete)
Thank you very much
[Verse 11]
Thank you guys for coming, it's so nice
I wanted to record this CD in Massing
'Cause it's always been one of my favorite places to play
I played here last year, I don't know if some people came to that one
That was very nice, thanks for coming again, I appreciate it
Um, there's gonna be, you know, there's little silences in the show
As I'm moving between pieces
Don't feel like you have to fill that silence with laughter or applause
I don't want you leaving the show saying
You know, my hands hurt from clapping
My stomach hurts from laughing
I just want you leaving the show thinking
Oh, well
And we're on our way
