Suburban Excursion Lyrics

How do you read James Baldwin and stay the same man?

I asked your mother and she didn't understand

How many years it's been since before you were born

I never sang a song since Jimmy cracked corn

How old were you when you made your first friend?

I asked your brother and he couldn't tell me when

The last time he felt he was understood

And I told them no harm done, change is good

How can you warm your brain without an oven?

I asked your sister, she gave me about a dozen

Different ways I could attempt to render an image

But don't worry, she assured me, it's just scrimmage

When was the last time you mowed your lawn?

I asked your dog, it hasn't been long

Well, you say to him it's time for mowing

Your dog pleads, no, no, man, I'll keep growing

How many miles do you get on your truck?

I asked your father, said he didn't want to suck

His happiness, his soul, or his wonder

Well, fuck you, I'll go five under
