Modest Mouse Bukowski Lyrics

Woke up this morning and it seemed to me
That every night turns out to be
A little bit more like Bukowski
And yeah, I know, he's a pretty good read
But god, who'd wanna be
God, who'd wanna be such an a__hole
God, who'd wanna be
God, who'd wanna be such an a__hole

Well, we sat on the edge of the river
The crowd screamed, "sacrifice the liver"
If God takes life, he's an Indian giver
So tell me now why, you'll tell me, never
Who would wanna be
Who would wanna be such a control freak
Well, who would wanna be
Who would wanna be such a control freak

Well, see what you wanna see
You should see it all
Well, take what you want from me
You deserve it all
Nine times out of ten, our hearts just get dissolved
Well, I want a better place or just a better way to fall

But one time out of ten, everything goes perfect for us all
Well, I want a better place or just a better way to fall
Here we go

If God controls the land and disease
Keeps a watchful eye on me
If he's really so d___ mighty
Well, my problem is I can't see
Well, who would wanna be
Who would wanna be such a control freak
Well, who would wanna be
Who would wanna be such a control freak

Evil home stereo
What good songs do you know
Evil me, oh yeah, I know
What good curves can you throw

Well, all that icing and all that cake
I can't make it to your wedding, but I'm sure I'll be at your wake
You were talk, talk, talk, talkin' in circles that day
When you get to the point, make sure that I'm still awake, okay

Went to bed and didn't see
Why every day turns out to be
A little bit more like Bukowski
And yeah, I know he's a pretty good read
But god, who'd wanna be
God, who'd wanna be such an a__hole
