Brunt of It Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
First let me tell you about the disease
Its the inability to enjoy yourself
No matter where you are and no matter your wealth
When he's walking down the beach
Hes obsessed with death
He did alot of drugs
When he trys to masturbate
He just cant seem to concentrate
Then he met a girl named Anadonia
At the screening of "A TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE"
He new it had something to do with syncronicity
The fact that trouble always seemed to follow him
He asked her what she did-
She was unemployed
He asked her what she read
Her mind was void
He asked her about music
She said she hated it
He asked her what she wants from life
She said a pierced clit
A N A D O N I A
So finally Steve didnt have a frown upon his face
He met the women of his dreams and shes a mental case
Opposites attreact is what is usually said
But Anadonia and Steve are one in the same
He asked her for her hand
"What for" she bitched
He needed someone to share his worries with
She said "NO"
A gun went to his head
THe only cure for anadonia is ANADONIA
