Do What I Like To Do

from Carbon Copy (extended version) by Jean Koning

/

lyrics

I was born in the summer heat
The dairy farm at Ludlow Street
Passed the cradle to eleven more
Mother was such a filthy whore

Torture kittens, that’s what I do
My sister’s puppy’s eyelids I sealed with glue
I chased the chickens with my daddy’s gun
And drowned a pig just to have some fun
Most people ‘round here think I’m mad
Strangely disturbed or downright bad

When you look deep into my eyes
You’ll find a web conceived by lies
If there’s a cure to make me well
I wouldn’t want it, can’t you tell

Animals fall like soldiers in war
Everyday I fight this goddamn bore
I pass the bug of every sling
I know what my future will bring
I know humans and their secrets too
That’s why they allow me to do what I like to do

Do what I like to do
Do what I like to do
Do what I like to do
