Rules of Thumb

Watermelon underwear
adorns a lonely head

can't save face
and can't erase

all the bullshit that was said.

~

20-20 news reels
won't focus worth a damn

the plot that's used
left unexcused

eliminates each fan.

~

Sever all your retarted ties
he's so not into you

a heart that's died
can't be denied

might be that it's your cue.

~

It never will be easy
keep your cards close to the vest

put away your cross
start hitting the sauce

can't beat 'em, so join the rest !
