Bonehead - Shriekback

Library’s in the skip, board the sinking ship

God save all boneheads

This week on the show, Rachel has to go

Good riddance, bonehead!

Like your choice of hat, and your easy chat

Come and join my guests, yeah you passed the test

You are a bonehead

Craning their necks, cashing their checks

Swabbing the deck down there on the wreck

The way of bonehead

All as white as snow, ego all aglow

Charitable work, Jesus what a berk

I name you bonehead

Haven’t thought it through, anything will do

Polishing a turd, shallow’s not the word

The word is bonehead

Piss on the fire, cutting the wire

Slashing the tires, stuck in the mire

Just natural bonehead

Missing the point, wrecking the joint

Though it is cruel there is a rule

«Avoid the boneheads!»

Sentimental mist, dewy-eyed and pissed

Lying through your teeth for your own relief

Don’t bother, bonehead

Caught in your zip, sinking the ship

Cracking the whip, not getting a grip

La vie en bonehead

Coming on strong, getting it wrong

Shouting the odds and cursing the gods

That made you a bonehead

Anaconda woman and the blue-legged heron

Blue-lipped baby got the blowlamp eye

Hotel room got a closet full of melons

Catapult the alligator one more time

Chuck it in the pot, stick it in the kettle

Put it in the sun, watch the motherfucker shine

Back from the battle with a chest full of medals

Everybody knows that ornament is crime
