Playful, serious, and completely original, Drive45's full discography is as iconic as it is idiosyncratic. (And this is my favourite piece in the whole lot!)
make a song about me
who are you
i don’t know
for all you know
i could be counter-
fit inside a house
inside a room
inside a box
inside a shell
heard you moved into the avenues
but you still can’t learn to see things through
maybe you should give your ears to me
none of your friends even like you
born in san francisco
maybe somewhere in the middle
of that other busy city
what’s it called uh
sacramento
doesn’t really matter
since it didn’t last forever
now you sit on your computer
making synthesizer portamento
you seem really nervous
do you have a sense of purpose
can you tell me
can you tell me
can you tell me
can you tell me what it is
uhhhh fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck i can’t remember
saw you changed your clothes and made new friends
but i think you know how that will end
Maybe you should give your eyes to me
everyone thinks you look ugly
I’ll talk sense into you
I think that you should max out your credit card
you’ll have nothing left to do but
pay back the debt you built from when you
maxed out your credit card
you’ll go get a job
at some place you feel needed
then grow old and die
talked with everyone the other day
we think you have nothing left to say
maybe you should give your mouth to me
you’re better off being quiet
