Cosmic Shame - October 17, 2005

Cosmic Shame

If I was just gonna say one thing to y'all ,
I'd say, set the artist free.
I'm talking about the artist in your heart, set it free.
I'm saying, quit your day job.
Now, I know a lot of you people here, you're saying,
"I can't quit my day job. I've got kids to feed, Mike."
Quit your day job.

Focus on your craft, one time, before it's all over,
before you've died, you've squandered it.
You fuckin' robots!

Now after a couple years of you focusing earnestly on your craft,
I will swoop in (with Jack Black), and we will check out your progress,
and we will either encourage you to continue!
Or we will say stop.
And then seriously, you must stop,
Or penalties will be created and enforced.

Cause listen...
This is the problem...

Sometimes you follow your heart,
sometimes your heart cuts a fart.
That's the cosmic shame.

And I know what you are saying now,
what makes you so fucking good?

I don't fuckin' know,
and I don't like it!

I stay up going FUCK!
Why can't everybody fuckin' have it?

Cause this is the thing...
Some people learn it on the streets.
Some people learn it in the schools.
Me and JB, we were fucking born with it, homes.

Tenacious D, "Cosmic shame" as interpreted by Cake Lama aka Piecrust out.......
