lyrics

I am not every man, I am the only man!
In this post-Apocalypto wasteland we call modern life
You're all just robots, I'm not a robot!
With my heart pumping oil, sensors working overtime
I keep my doors locked, I keep my pantries stocked
Boarded up the windows, candles burning all night long
I'm eating canned food, dried powdered bran food,
And I'm shakin' and I'm shakin' and I'm shakin' and I'm shakin'

My TV hates me, fucks with my circuitry
All the yelling and the crying makes me think I'll lose my mind
I can't watch FOX NEWS, they're always starting feuds
Ignoramus necktie clones exploding in my ears
I grabbed all the talking heads, went and threw them in my shed
Now my backyard smells like cotton candy rotting on your gums
I gotta quit watching TV, it's giving me epilePEPSI,
And I'm shakin' and I'm shakin' and I'm shakin' and I'm shakin'

My wallet's empty, ain't got no currency
Automatic teller telling me to go get lost
I barely have a job, a rusty worn down cog,
Grind my teeth until the blood gums up the machine
I could use some company, someone to hunt with me
Instead I'm standing behind storm doors hoping they don't storm on me
I got my shotgun cocked, empathy switched to off,
And I'm shakin' and I'm shakin' and I'm shakin' and I'm shakin' and I'm shook
