THE TRANSACTIONAL LYRICS

Gimme something good
I’ll give you something in kind
We don’t know what we might be doing
It escapes my mind

Ours is not for debating
I’m at a cellphone store
The connection is fading
We don’t talk anyway anymore

Put ‘er there
Fair and square
House holds the full house
I only got one pair

chorus

Everything is painful
When all you know is pain
It’s the favorite cocktail
Of the bleeding insane

chorus

Do you ever ponder
What greases your gears?
I wish you could wonder
Like I have for years

There’s no ‘U’ in me
There’s no me and you
A brief history
Is all bullets to you
