Comudgery’s Drudgery - A1

Hatred’s Dart, Anger Rock

Verse 1

The time has come to justify
All the things you’ve crucified
You bitch and bitch and bitch about
Till death comes crashing, finalities shout

You mirror nothing but reflect
A soured, scorned, and seeded soul
Enchanted by a bottomless pit
A shameless king of bitter wit

Verse 2

You’re Mr. Freeze and don’t even know it
A Red Riding Hood-stalking wolf
With teeth so bright and a breath so bad
All you really do is bring out the sad

Pre-Chorus

So sad, sad, sad
That you’re my dad
D-dad, d-dad, dad

Chorus

You’re one big verbal dart to the heart
And all you really do is tear us apart
You spread your disease with your final wheeze
Where’s the joy in your family tree?

You call us loved ones, call us family
But all we get is your snark and misery
So forgive my confusion and question, please
Are we really family or just frenemies?

Verse 3

Have you no heart, no sense of shame?
You say, “What’s love got to do with it?”
You didn’t sign up, up for this
You provide and call that your gift

And you wonder why your kids don’t visit
Look in the mirror, you son of a bitch
Don’t look too far or you might miss it
You are the aggravating itch

Chorus

The time has come to justify
All the things you’ve crucified
You bitch and bitch and bitch about
Till death comes crashing, finalities shout

Verse 4

You keep wondering why we wanted more
Maybe ‘cause you offered so little joy
That seems to be your favorite disease
And ours is hoping you’ll someday change

Breakdown

A hope, a hope, hope, hope, hope

Bridge

Well that’s our family, our family disease
A little bit of spice and a whole lot of twist
A whole lot of shout
A James Brown mouth and an Ike Turner fist
A double espresso of insanity’s bliss

Outro

A wow, wow, wow
A wow...

Comudgery’s drudgery
Comudgery’s drudgery
Round and round the poison feeds
Comudgery’s drudgery

A wow...
A wow...
