Leave
M.O.T.U. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Okay
Something about asking my mom for twenty dollars
So I can buy some cocaine off of a guy that eats broccoli for dinner
And only broccoli, only broccoli
He’s on the darkside, the darkside
Darkside of my mind
That’s a weird chord change
I wouldn’t mean to do that, didn’t mean to do that
But oh well
And I’m going to the chorus now
And these chords don’t make sense
But I don’t really give a shit
Talking ‘bout this guy that eats coke and heroin




Eating broccoli, the plant
Eating broccoli, the plant
