Little rebranding is all

Johnny's lament

Where are we going with this?
what does it me-ean?
Is there's no there in there
likely less than we pretend to seem?

We got questions til it makes you scream
Stupid, pointless, some obscene.
Waaannnh! What about me?

Sure we got beaten bad
Hunh, what are you trying to say?
This whole, this is a vital thing, umm
I'm gonna flog all day

We've got questions that don't make no sense
sideways, loopedy, cross the fence
out of left field, ridiculous, intense

If you people weren't so squeaky clean
We wouldn't have so far to stretch, eh?
Give us something to work with, please
else we're headed on down Whiggery way

We've got questions from around the bend
questions surely to offend
questions, questions cranky panky you so stanky pooh...
