Why be afraid
Of words on a page?
Spare us the rage
Of your new Dark Age!

It’s a textbook case
Of a textbook, cased
In upper case, no
Need to be a headcase!
Textbook case
Of a textbook, case
In question is -
Are words a weapon?

You're so afraid
Of the printed page,
Don’t you have a clue
What it means for you?

It's a textbook case
Of a textbook,case
Is clear and simple,
No hidden symbols;
Textbook case
Of a textbook, in case
You missed the subtext -
Dont be a fuckhead!

You're so afraid
Of words on the page
The text is so clear
Stick it up your rear

Your teardrops splatter like blood across the page (it’s a textbook case)
Your teardrops splatter like blood across the page (it’s a textbook case)
Your teardrops splatter like blood across the page (it’s a textbook case)
Your teardrops splatter like blood across the page (it’s a textbook)

A Textbook Case
The Pannacotta Army

Sometimes it’s easy to do the wrong thing
Feel temptation, the mind wandering

I’m a textbook case of how to mess things up
I’m a textbook case for throwing away love

I’ve no excuses that I can give you
They’re all cliches that don’t ring true

I’m a textbook case for spoiling what you’ve got
I’m a textbook case for throwing away love

Can’t see you coming back again
No relighting of that flame

There’s no chance of any forgiveness
I gotta lie down and just take this

I’m a textbook case of how to mess things up
I’m a textbook case for throwing away love

This is a textbook case
We’ve closed the book
The case is closed
Established facts will show the way
No need for us to go astray
Everything’s explained away
By Occam’s Razor

We’ve got the whole thing scoped
The case is closed
We will proceed
The instruments will tell us all
Nature will obey our call
And all misgivings surely fall
By Occam’s Razor

It’s a textbook case
The text is writ
There is no other page to turn
That’s all, that’s it
And having writ
We’re moving on

We’ve got it figured out
There’s nothing more
Than billiard balls
The causal chains will now unfold
And every link may be foretold
The facts we have, we have down cold
By Occam’s Razor

A Textbook Case
by Brown Word and the Big Whine

it's a textbook case they said
when they opened up her head
and instead of gray matter
they found noodles
(send nudes)

it's a textbook case
of hysterical bombastical
fantastical terroristical
booty on call
prudes at the gate
carry you off when the hour is late
sailing down the hallway in a gurney
Forgot to pack a girdle for the journey

give a girl ideas
it give a girl all the ideas in the world
give a girl ideas
it give a girl all the ideas in the world

it's a text book case
they don't teach it these days
due to the politics
it's a text book case
they don't preach it this way
because of the goddamn sensibilties
that prevail in this age
its an ice pick on a summer noon
its sunglasses to hide the blooms
it's an ice pick on a summer noon

give a girl ideas
it give a girl all the ideas in the world

it's a textbook case
it's a textbook case
it's a text book case
of it's a textbook case
(send nudes)

A Textbook Case
Hot Pink Halo

***

It's a textbook case of malaise
You can't see nothing but your own face
Staring back at you

What do you see in there?

It's a textbook case and we need to break it
If you can't find a picture then you'll need to take it
Let the view find you

What do you see in there?

Today we're learning how to look
How to focus our attention
Reframe this world and find a different view
Let the light bleed through
Our afflictions
Until we see something new

It's a textbook case
Gotta see for the sake of it
Take things out of context
Find a way to break through

What do you see in there?

Today we're learning how to look
How to focus our attention
Reframe this world and find a different view
Let the light bleed through
Our afflictions
Until we see something new

Open up your heart
And turn the page

Today we're learning how to look
How to focus our attention
Reframe this world and find a different view
Let the light bleed through
Our afflictions
Until we see something new
