let's get it over with

this is a nellie mckay inspired ode to marriage, for the friend who introduced her to me. 


let's get it over with


you know that when you think about it
we've got so much in common
you lust after your mother and you wanna kill my father
and brother i feel the same
and when you think about it
this country's overcrowded
with gendered ideologies
we buy at discount rates
but i don't really mind
and i think that it's time i tell ya

let's get it over with and buy a house in tampa or bakersfield
let's get a little dog, a little kid, some adderol
and an suv filled with pre-packaged meals
oh let's get it over with and find you a mistress
and i'll find a mister too
oh i just wanna get it over with with you

you know we got to go
to the middle of this land, that;s where they understand we got to
rescind my reproductive rights
and get you a beer can to keep you a man

let's get it over with and buy a house in newport or santa fe
let's get a camper and drive around
and tune out what anyone else has to say
oh let's get it over with and get diabetes
i'm talkin about type two
oh i just wanna get it over with with you

let's get a mortgage and let's put our four kids
through state school it's the best we can do
let's find some friends who look a little less attractive than we do
and then a decent sized plot of land for our headstones
that'll read here lies a pair of assholes
that left behind a fuckin crapload of wasted time
oh let's get it over with
no one cried
oh let's get it over with
i just want to get it over with

you know we go to go
to the middle of this land to mingle with the bland
we got to mills around the mega mall in town
and work on our tans while our gullets expand

let's get it over with and live a life that no one will care about
let's jump in to a pit of debt
with no hope of ever getting out
oh let's suppress all our childhood dreams
cuz let's face it they won't come true
oh the time is right so let's get it over with
i think you like guys but let's get it over with
i just wanna get it over with with you
