MC Frontalot - Charity Case lyrics
[MC Frontalot - Charity Case lyrics]
Oh, man! I try to dodge
Fans but they keep swarming
MC Frontalot’s heart’s huge let’s
Have a housewarming
I love you so damn much I’ll sell you CDs
I’m greedy to get loved back like Ally Sheedy
In WarGames i got more sayings
And turns of phrase
In my communist handbook than in my damn
What’d
I do with my ledger? I’ll never get paid now!
That distributor promised me checks
But didn’t say how
He was going to locate the Front
It’s the anonymity I’m a little
Bitty bit late to shun
Hate to run can’t be tardy to my rally:
"Art Must Be Free" is the decree the finalé
Is my lecture on the evils
Of the R-I double-A
How they’re going to sue you every
Single time you hit play
They’re lame! Must revolt! What’s
That you say?
Kids are pirating the Frontalot? Oh, no
I got betrayed!
It’s true: Frontalot’s destitute
I need you to buy my CD so I could buy food
I been a charity case to
My fan base for years: In tears at my show
"somebody buy me a ride home"
Now I’ve got something I
Can barter for services
Don’t let the major labels get word of this
I’m girderless, free falling towards riches
Going to sell so many CDs
That I can afford britches
And a shirt, and a hat to go with it
I get specific ‘cause my
Fantasy is that vivid
I’m going to buy gadgets that
Don’t do anything but beep and blink
Then I’ll go out in public & buy drinks
But it’s contingent on your ponying up
Wait, you got my record on Bittorrent? Fuck!
Seems like there’s no DRM but I’ll explode
Your computer like COBRA done to GI Joe
On the episode about computer viruses
Oh look
There’s the ledger: overflowing with minuses
My spinelessness in the face
Of the starvation projected by my cash flow
Erodes the hesitation
I once harbored as regards the tune vending
If only the nerd kids’ aversion to spending
Money on data got inverted somehow
I’d be making my way through all
The dollars with a plow
But instead I’m down on the
Ground on my knees
Begging y’all to believe my CD isn’t free
Frontalot needs food badly
Is that a popsicle? I - was just
No I mean clearly it's a popsicle
Were you gonna finish it or were
You gonna throw it out?
Causeno cause if- I mean if you
Were going to throw it out
Then I would eat the rest of it
I was just saying but if you're
Not going to throw it out
Then you know go ahead and-
I mean you should finish it quickly
Cause it's dripping and you're
Wasting it I mean
And it is- you know it's lime
Which is like my favorite flavor of popsicle
Fans but they keep swarming
MC Frontalot’s heart’s huge let’s
Have a housewarming
I love you so damn much I’ll sell you CDs
I’m greedy to get loved back like Ally Sheedy
