Nur Ein XI - Unnecessary

[iVeg]

UNNECESSSARY – inflatable vegetables

Comfortably Numb in a monitor-lined room
Jihadist propaganda screams in South Asian accents
Gray haired hippies poison their bodies and minds
Inshallah? There are no accidents?

Childish scribbles of diamonds and skies
It’s Lennonist marks while the mullah cries
Even when I was a kid, it was no innocent time
Deo volente, Deo volente

What am I going to do?
Should I even bother?
The choir sings an elegy

You tell me to yell, you can’t hear when I’m speaking
We’re freaking out, freaking, freaking out
I stare like a zombie after ten hours of sleeping
You say you’re walking, you’re walking out
Turn on the power, I’m unnecessary
I’m off to the showers, I’m unnecessary
I know when I’m not needed,
I just hoped you’d change your mind

Chains on my tongue, can’t tame a forest fire
Lead a horse to water but that’s not what’s required
Teaching a fish to ride a bicycle
Que sera, sera? Whatever, whatever

Well my name is Steve
And my name is Doug
And we're here to tell you all about
Alcohol and drugs
So stick around with us
While we sing a little tune
Drugs aren't necessary

They start out feeling good
But then they make you feel bad
Like when you're addicted
And steal money from your dad
If you want to ensure
He won't think you're a failure
Put the crack pipe down

They make you think you're smart
When you're acting like a dope
They stop you from growing up
And learning how to cope
If you want to pay rent
Or ever be the one percent
Drugs aren't necessary

Susan: Hey Frank, is that a cigarette?
Frank: ..... yeah
Susan: Well my name is Susan
Frank: And my name is........ Frank
Susan: that stuff you're smoking smells pretty dank
Frank: I'm really hungry
Susan: Let's get delivery
Susan: What do you want, Frank?

Frank:
I would like
a pepperoni pizza
with mushrooms
and pineapple,
steak and oregano
and sausage
Blue cheese
Ground beef, spinach, cheddar, steak
Red pepper, green onions
and another pizza in the crust


Susan: Oh frank!

They can make you lose weight
Or they make you real fat
They can make you see aliens
Or think that you're a cat
Mew mew mew mew mew
Mew mew mew mew mew mew
Drugs aren't necessary

Well my name is Ellis
And my name is Dee

Drugs aren't necessary....

Unnecessary - Paco del Stinko

Streaming rainbows from your eyes, singing songbirds when you smile
Clouds whisper their names as they pass, all is gentle like a new baby's laugh

Gingerbread men dance in a circle, lollipop bubbles in the air
Slip into the water swim with the turtle, at his home glide up the stairs

(It's unnecessary) To take another tab when you're flying high
(It's unnecessary) To call for a cab to go for a ride
Just open up your mind let the inner spool unwind (unwind)

The honey bees smile and buzz you their song, as the rabbit pours you your tea
Pixie dust trails lead you along, as you float through a warm velvet sea

(It's unnecessary) To take another tab when you're flying high
(It's unnecessary) To call for a cab to go for a ride
Just open up your mind let the inner spool unwind (unwind)

You lie on a bed of flowers yellow, hear the worms move in the dirt
Submerge in the ground soft like jello, as you become one with the Earth

(It's unnecessary) To take another tab when you're flying high
(It's unnecessary) To call for a cab to go for a ride
Just open up your mind let the inner spool unwind (unwind)

Become one with the Earth (the Earth)
And the whole universe

UNNECESSARY

Originally inspired by this article, though I ended up taking a bit of a turn:
https://morecrows.wordpress.com/2016/05 ... cessariat/

This old town is shut down
The whole county’s down for the count
Manufacturers pulled out
Government is tuned out now

And you hurt your back last May
Pain didn’t go away
But these pills the doctor gave
They make you feel okay

When the prescription ends
Move on to heroin
Make new addicting friends
Who even cares when

You’re unnecessary
Living an unnecessary life
In an unnecessary town
Not even dead before you’re buried
You can bet your ass you’ll chase that high
The one that will never let you down

And the churches all stand empty
The pastor’s flock is lost
‘Cause the needle’s so much sweeter than the cross

You're such a fun guy
Till unemployment runs dry
Nobody’d call you gun shy
You remember that one time

You put your fist through the drywall
Barely missed the kid's eyeball
You were pissed about something, man
You'd think you were watching the sky fall

Now you’re gonna need a ride
‘Cause you can’t legally drive
Too many DUIs
Why even try when

You’re unnecessary
Living an unnecessary life
In an unnecessary town
Nobody knows the weight you carry
Maybe they could hear you if they tried
But you can only scream so loud

And somewhere in the distance
You hear a siren wail
Well hell, at least they serve three meals in jail

You’re unnecessary
Living an unnecessary life
In an unnecessary town
So useless that it’s scary
Don’t believe me, go ask your ex-wife
Why she never brings the kids around

You’re unnecessary
Living an unnecessary life
In an unnecessary town
Not even dead before you’re buried
You can bet your ass you’ll chase that high
Gonna chase it right into the ground

A Amaj7 A7 D-D/E-
I never knew that I
Would be the greatest guy
You ever knew and now
That we’re together I
Want you to know my love
Will last forever
All of your fear and doubts
Are unnecessary

A E D/E D/E
You can trust my heart
You can trust my words will be the truth
You can trust my arms
You can trust your fears are unnecessary

I want to be so close
We are inseparable
I love the feel of your
Arms wrapped round my shoulders
Please put your lips on my
Neck I love the feeling
All of the rest it is unnecessary

Chorus

A E Bm D

All of the stars in the sky
They can’t contain our love
So infinite to me
You are the greatest love
I’ve ever known so deep
We can’t contain it all
Of the rest to come is unnecessary

Chorus
D
A

Unnecessary
by Berkeley Social Scene

I took a trip
Through the looking glass
I lost my grip
On a Cheshire cat
Mean caterpillar
Smoking on a shroom
Offered me a toke
So I took two

It was an unnecessary
I took one too many
I'm transcending time and space
But I can't feel my face

I rode a twister
To another land
With groovy slippers
And a shiny tin man
Some little friends
Sent me down the road
A patch of poppies
Made my head explode

It was unnecessary
My perception varies
I can see through walls
Being without all

I found a ticket
In my candy bar
Took a chocolate river ride
That went too far
Purple jacket top hat pusher man!
I tasted a rainbow
And the colors ran

It was an unnecessary
I took one too many
I'm transcending time and space
But I just can't seem to feel my face

It was unnecessary
I know it barely
The answer benevolent
Turpentine is prevalent

Unnecessary
by bgm*

I face myself
into the sun
surroundings disappear

in melting shades
of orange and green
the truth is crystal clear

I let it bring me down
but now I've found out what is true

the way is fixed
and will not change
no matter what we do

this is so unnecessary
all the answers you've already seen

do you ever question why
you're searching places you've already been

this is so unnecessary
nothing in your mind will ever stay
everything belongs to you
so close your eyes and give it all away

this is so unnecessary
