If/Then

submitted by Smedleys_Butler to SmedleysPorch 7 monthsOct 20, 2024 15:31:41 ago (+5/-0)     (SmedleysPorch)

If God is a DJ
Then I'm a broken turntable
Testament stuck in a notched groove
If I could stick that needle in my arm

If the devil's the wind
Then I'm smoke without fire
Blasphemous sloth out of spite
If I could get this fatwah off my head

If thine is the kingdom
Then I'm faded glory
Challenge (((Levi Strauss))) to a duel
If I could rig mining cartels to explode

If Byzantium was the millennial reign
Then demons run maritime law
Might not be kosher to protestant parents
If I'd need the assistance of saints

If I'm playing ball with the third shift nurse Paul
Then I'll rhyme for that ex Soviet
Well he prefers soccer and he don't like the Flyers
If it fits, we're the state he escaped

If sugar and spice are why we have wars to fight
Then I'm full of bloodlust on the moon
Look at men without pussy, it's tragic yet funny
If you're a groomed mouse with a complex and chip

If elephants and donkeys can find common ground
Then this clinic would buckle and shake
There's some shared perspective in our fake elections
If we loosen our rhythm and rais(on)

Then there's the gift of free will
If you know you can't know
The incomprehensible mind of God
Then you'll relax on verandas above porch monkeys and pandas
It's that broken glass, dick dragging love

Good thing they undid the mental ward system and that America has become a ‘judgement free zone’, or your ass would do a 72 hour at least!🤣⚡️⚡️

That reads a lot like Leonard Cohen, the jew that wrote "You want it darker"
The music mostly aint too bad.

If you are the dealer, Then I'm out of the game

sounds just like your
If thine is the kingdom, Then I'm faded glory

In fact that song also has a "if thine is the kingdom" line.

if thine is the glory, then mine must be the shame

^ thats the one I was thinking of^
These songs were used on the True Detective intro (s01 or s02 idk which)

You want it darker

I also love the internet because they made a version with the "heynaniheynani" chants cut right out.


I struggled with some demons, they were middle class and tame.

I didn't know I had permission, to murder and to maim

I just like the lyrics, I'm sure the fellow is questionable. He died awhile back. Same guy who did Everybody Knows from pump up the volume movie.

I studied him quite a bit. I dig one of his last or posthumous releases puppets. Kinda hits all sides.
