Much
Better
It's much better
It's much better
It's much better
Without butter
Go to your room
Calisthenics
Kook mal, Schtruppi
It's much better
It's much better
It's much better
Without butter
Guaranteed in at least thirty states
It's much better
It's much better
It's much better
Without butter
A gelatinous, seething tube
From outer space
They've come
To put us in our place
Quack quack

Pogo Dancing In My Sleep

Pogo dancing in my sleep
Pogo dancing in my sleep
Hey grandpa, what's Pogo dancing?
Well son, it's like Slam dancing, only different
Before they did The Thrash, they did The Pogo
And now that I can't do The Pogo
It happens sometimes when I'm sleepwalking
And when I wake up in the morning
Everything is destroyed
That's why I'm
Pogo dancing in my sleep
Because I'm
Pogo dancing in my sleep
Come on, Pogo dance in your sleep
Everybody Pogo dance in your sleep
Pogo dancing in my sleep
It's OK Methusda
Everything going on here is perfectly normal
Ho hum, hmm, tedium
Pogo dancing in my sleep
Pogo dancing in my sleep
Wow, the bedsheets
They've fallen off
I must have been
Pogo dancing in my sleep
It was decreed in days of old
There will be NO STAGE DIVING in the Olden Folks Home
Johnny was a rebel
He's going to the devil
There's a two-drink minimum in Hell
Nobody cares about your goddamn website
Hell
Johnny was a rebel
He's going to the devil
Waking up from afternoon naps is weirder during times of mounting catastrophic societal failure
Oh say can you double cheese-fat encephalitis
Back when there were laws
We used to break them
Nothing you say is private,
But it's OK because everybody is going to die
What the hell was I thinking?

It Is Now Safe To Turn Off Your Computer
Some say they know what to do
It is now safe to turn off your computer
I'm late, but I'm a believer
Happy like a Golden Retriever
I might come down off the roof
I don't know, perhaps I'm a Diva
Backstage is catnip organic
We don't like any M&Ms
Can't find the stage door, running down the hall
Grandma's knitting as she waits for the curtain call
Telephone the manager, I want to speak to Karen
And Becky, and Eminem, at Eleven
But I digress, Spın̈al Tap is a reality show
And grandpappy's tuned into the punk retro
But the Golden Age of Golden Ages is done
Shredded culture like stale lettuce on a bun
Happy to be here, eat on the run
There is nothing new under the salamander
Coriander
Slither
Username not found
Some say they know what to do
It is now safe to turn off your computer
I'm late, so how do you do?
It is now safe to turn off your computer
We used to knock on the door
But we don't do that anymore
The lunatics have taken over Main Street
And we're hiding in the asylum
Listen to the bells fall down from the tower
Corruption is just Tuesday now
As it ever was
They say they know what to do
It is now safe to turn off your computer
They say they know what to do
It is now safe to turn off your computer

I’m looking forward to my favorite band
Having a reunion, so I can poopoo it,
And say how much better they were back then
Before they sold out, to The Man
I have the first pressing, actually it was the demo
When no one knew but me, and only two friends
We used to see them at rehearsal
And they were nice to us sometimes
I got to open for them once
You know, we didn’t get a sound check
And their manager was kind of an asshole
That’s when we knew that it was all going wrong
I liked their early stuff
I liked their early stuff
I liked their early stuff
I liked their early stuff
Before they sold out to The Man
At some point the singer when batshit
Now he's into Q-anon or some shit
Colonizing space, I reckon
On a crystal magic farm,
It's funny,
Back when we were kids,
He was totally rad
He did backflip stage dives
And always landed on the beat
It was neat
I liked their early stuff
I liked their early stuff
I liked their early stuff
I liked their early stuff
Before they sold out to The Man
Play a guitar solo, how cliched
Except if it's ironic, and casting shade
Listen, when punk rockers got beards,
That was the end of it,
I saw my greatest punk hero guitar player
sniffing coke backstage
(who?)
and talking about his investments
and this is a true story
Might as well take the cigaret money now,
What's the difference?
They paid for the tour bus
We're winning
Crushed it at the merch table
Text me, sure, friend me, who are you?
The girl who did the interview is cute
Listen, we need to talk about your drummer,
He just isn't right for the "look" anymore, you feel me?
We'll do lunch
Warner is "interested!"
(oh, right)
Love you, we go way back,
(no)
God is dead
(stop that)
It's bigger than the Beatles
(dude!)
Do have any more of that stuff?
I can pay you after
(no, no)
Thank you for all of your support!
(get out)
I'll shoot you my podcast from rehab
(whatever)
Yeah, we're getting divorced
(what a surprise!)
I'm doing some soundtrack stuff now
Video games, stuff like that
Look me up when you're in LA,
(ok)
but don't really
I liked their early stuff
I liked their early stuff
I liked their early stuff
I liked their early stuff
Before they sold out to The Man

Eric Din Berkeley, California
I'm a guitarist and singer-songwriter with The Uptones. These are my solo recordings, starting from 2015. I started Berkeley Cat Records in 2019. BandCamp is the first place I publish these puppies, before I send them into the streaming wilds. Wait, you ask, Berkeley Cat Records has puppies? Why yes, Matilda. Thanks for popping in, hope you enjoy the tunes! ... more
