"We Need New Curse Words" MP3 (3:07)

We need new curse words
For that which is inherently unfair
We need new curse words
In the existential struggle against facial hair
We need new curse words
For slimy perverts and sleaze
We need new curse words
Against extortionate ATM fees
We need new curse words

We need stronger curse words
For pretension and condescension
We need stronger curse words
For double parking and traffic congestion
We need stronger curse words
For hypocritical holy rollers
We need stronger curse words
For the scourge of double-wide strollers
We need stronger curse words

We need longer curse words
To do something about organized crime
We need longer curse words
In order to avoid two-hour brunch lines
We need longer curse words
For the phalanx of failed states
We need longer curse words
For the insipid quality of the color beige
We need longer curse words

We need more ornate curse words
For trashy gossips and talkers
We need ornate curse words
For inconsiderate dog walkers
We need ornate curse words
Because this season it's happening again
We need ornate curse words
For that car stereo at 3 a.m.
We need ornate curse words

We need new curse words
