Shut Up and Roll

It's Friday night and that means it's
Board Game Time
Everyone just sitting round
with their beer or wine
The dice go round and round and hand to hand
until it gets to you
and then things grind to a halt
There's time enough for talking when it's not your turn
There's time enough for talking when it's not your turn
Maybe tell that story when it's your time to burn
There's time enough for talking when it's not your turn
Oh we don't care what happened at work today
we don't care what you had for lunch
We all came here to roll some dice and play a game
It's not that we're not nice
we just want you to roll those dice
so please
oh please
just shut up and roll
There's time enough for talking when it's not your turn
There's time enough for talking when it's not your turn
Maybe tell that story when it's your time to burn
There's time enough for talking when it's not your turn
But right now
Shut up and roll
Shut up and roll
Shut up and roll
[ad infinitim]
*anguished scream*
That's the sound that we all make inside our heads
when you won't roll the dice
So I'm gonna ask
once more
real nice
Please just shut your mouth and roll the dice
so we can play this game
Oh please
just shut up and roll
There's time enough for talking when it's not your turn
There's time enough for talking when it's not your turn
Maybe tell that story when it's your time to burn
There's time enough for talking when it's not your turn
But right now
Shut up and roll

Laundromat Love Affair
02:57
|
|||
I saw her standing
between the washers and dryers
She saw me staring
so I looked at some flyers
Then she approached me
to ask for a quarter
I gave her a handful
in an effort to court her
We had a laundromat love affair
just standing there
watching our underwear
fly through the air
We had a laundromat love affair
just standing there
watching our underwear
fly through the air
Her beauty so delicate
that it would be washed separate
I could soften my fabric
or would that just seem desperate
The Bold with the Snuggle
and Cheer all their Gain
the cold did a slow Tide
just Whisk away their pain
We had a laundromat love affair
just standing there
watching our underwear
fly through the air
We had a laundromat love affair
just standing there
watching our underwear
fly through the air
When I saw her
my heart beat
like an unbalanced load
She could be my princess
and I would be her toad
She's suddenly leaving
in her arms was a basket
My question unfolded
but I did not ask it
That's how I lost her
as a sock lost its mate
but the cycle's still spinning
It's never too late
We were two people doing laundry on a Friday night

Infinite Loop
04:00
|
|||
1980s programming class
Backpacks
Trapper Keepers
Those little squishy stickers of unicorns
We were all learning how to love one another
and program
basically
in BASIC
It was the 1980s
programming scene
back when love was pure
and not obscene
So I'm sitting in my class
and I got my eye on this lass
So I wrote this little program
to win her
And it reads
10 PRINT I LOVE YOU
and
20 GOTO 10
I love you
I love you
I love you
And she types
10 PRINT I HATE YOU
and
20 GOTO HELL
Hmmm
Well I think I heard the class bell
It was a 1980s programming scene
and I think I can see through
her smokescreen
But she's playing
quite coy
with this little programmer boy
But I wrote this little program
to win her
And it reads
10 PRINT I LOVE YOU
and
20 GOTO 10
I love you
I love you
I love you
Oh she types
10 PRINT NOT QUITE YET
and
20 GOTO HECK
Well I think that's
better yet
This might be an infinite loop
This might be an infinite loop
Oh yeah
This might be an infinite loop
might be an infinite loop
Oh I
love you
Oh I
love you
Array pointer out of bounds
memory address
not found
I said I'd wait for you
but I am caught in an infinite loop
Ctrl-C Break
It was the 1980s
programming scene
with dot matrix and fax machine
But now I found my programmer love
and with a comment up above.
We wrote this little program together
And it reads
10 PRINT I LOVE YOU
and
20 GOTO 10
I love you
I love you
I love you
Yes it reads
10 PRINT I LOVE YOU
and
20 GOTO 10
Oh
GOTO 10
GOTO 10
GOTO 10

Two Beers
02:42
|
|||
I drank one beer
but I'm still feeling lonely
I drank one beer
but I'm still feeling homely
What am I even doing here?
Should I have another beer? (Have another!)
I drank two beers
so now I'm invincible
I drank two beers
throwing darts
shooting pool
I drank two beers (He drank two beers)
I drank two beers! I drank two beers!
I drank two beers
so I'm still invincible
I drank two beers
so I think I'm gonna ask out that girl
Would you go out with me?
No? Oh...
Well should I have beer three?
I've had twenty-four ounces of power (He drank)
That's twenty-four ounces in an hour (He drank)
I drank I drank (He drank)
two beers!
Well
there's a mythical happy land
a perfect lack of sobriety
It's somewhere between beer two and beer three
You want to find it
but you do not wanna go over
Mmmm.. that golden beverage
with the bubbles.
I've had twenty-four ounces of power (He drank)
That's twenty-four ounces in an hour (He drank)
I drank I drank (He drank)
two beers!
And he's a happy drunk
"I love you guysh"
And he's a silly drunk
"Packing peanuts are food"
And he's a queasy drunk
"I just threw up on my shoes"
And he's an angry drunk
"I want to punch that dude"
I've had twenty-four ounces of power (He drank)
I've had thirty-six ounces of power! (He drank)
I've had forty-eight ounces! (He drank)
Bartender, two beers please

I went down to
the gaming store
to buy four point oh

to make my first

But when I got to the races section
what to my suprise
there weren't any of my favorite race
on the pages there inside
Oh

Why did the Gnomes go away?
I don't care about no Tieflings
or Dragonkin
I just want my happy little Gnomes

Why did the Gnomes go away?
Away away away away (Why)

T-Shirt
02:27

So you wanna change minds
in just one or two lines
You better say it with your T-shirt
So your humor's complex
and it shows off your pecks
Because you put it on a T-shirt
So you like anarchy
and want hugs to be free
You better say it with your T-shirt
Whether crew neck or V
No not actually V
Go and get another T-shirt
Cotton and polyester
will speak for me forever
A special fabric blend
will cause their minds to bend
So you wanna change minds
in just one or two lines
You better say it with a T-shirt
So your humor's complex
and it shows off your pecks
Because you put it on your T-shirt
Cotton and polyester
will speak for me forever
A special fabric blend
will cause their minds to bend
The canvas of our times
the memes are prose and rhymes
describes our crucial scene
with ink through a silk screen
with ink through a silk screen
Do you know what I mean?
What size are your ideas?
What size are they?
What size are your ideas?
Our are
EXTRA LARGE
EXTRA LARGE
EXTRA LARGE
medium
or small
So you wanna change minds
in just one or two lines
You better say it with your T-shirt
So your humor's complex
and it shows off your pecks
Because you put it on your T-shirt
So you like anarchy
and want hugs to be free
You better say it with your T-shirt
So you wanna change minds
in just one or two lines
You better put it on your T-shirt
T-shirt
changes their minds
like you change your T-shirt
