COMMENTS: “This was the first Mike Patton
parody I did.. a lot of people liked this one. It’s the one that someone
said they were going to record.”PARODY: Hamburger To Go

Before you advertise
All the fame is implied
With no fortune unseen
Sell the rights
To your blight
Time-machine

While I’m dulled by excess (dulled by excess)
And a cynic at best (cynic at best)
My art imitates crime
Paid for by
The allies
So invest

Now I’m finding truth is a ruin
Nauseous end that nobody is pursuing
Staring into glassy eyes
Mesmerized
There’s a vintage thirst returning
But I’m sheltered by my channel-surfing
Every famine virtual
Retrovertigo

A tribute to false memories
With conviction
Cheap imitation
Is it fashion or disease?
Post-ironic
Remains a mouth to feed

Sell the rights
To your blight
And you’ll eat

Now I’m finding truth is a ruin
Nauseous end that nobody is pursuing
Staring into glassy eyes
Mesmerized
See the vintage robot wearied
Then awakened by revision theories
Every famine virtual
Retrovertigo

Combo
2 advertised
For just $3.99
Lettuce, bacon, and cheese
Pop and fries
Super-size
You’re hungry

But I don’t want excess (don’t want excess)
Not that thirsty I guess (hungry at the best)
I don’t really like fries
Apple pies
Are a slice
Of my cash

Now you’re finding tooth-aches occurin’
Nauseous when you find that your drink needs chewin’
Staring at the drive-through signs
Mesmerized
There’s some kid who keeps returning
But I’m happy that I’m only having
Just a snack to tie me over,
Hamburger to go

Hundred-fifty calories
That’s not bacon
Cheap imitation
You’ve contracted a disease
Ron McDonald
Really needs less mouths to feed

Sell the rights
Dont drink Sprite
Only eat

Now I’m finding tooth-aches occurin’
Nauseous when I find that my drink needs chewin’
Staring at the drive-through signs
Can’t decide
Give the teenage girl my order
Hear it costs a dollar and a quarter
If you’re hungry, only order
A Hamburger to go
