I wrote this for a friend whose ex-husband is a total bell-end. Now I dare not look in the mirror...

lyrics

Eve lying round in the Garden of Eden
Thinks I can’t be doing this until the day I die
Says to the Serpent ‘Where’s a girl to get some action?’
He says ‘Adam is your man, he might have something you can try.’
Adam looks at Eve, he says ‘I have dominion over
Everything I see and that includes you too.’
Eve gives a sigh and glancing up to heaven says
‘Lord, is he really the best that you can do?’

I don’t care if you’re big or small
I don’t care if you’re short or tall
I don’t care if you’re plain or grand
It’s the crap that you talk that I can’t stand

Sleeping Beauty running out of patience
Waiting for a saviour come over break the spell
A brave knight shows up braying on the door
Says ‘Bet you won’t believe when you hear what I got to tell.
I slayed every dragon and conquered many armies
I rode a thousand miles so I could get to you’
Beauty says ‘Well, I’m going back to sleep now, cos
Lord, is this really all that you guys ever do?’

I don’t care if you’re brave or fearful
I don’t care if you’re happy or tearful
I don’t care if you’re bright or bland
It’s the crap that you talk that I can’t stand.

Tell me I can’t seem to understand
Why it’s such hard work to be a man

I don’t care if you’re bald or hairy
I don’t care if you’re tame or lairy
I don’t care if you’re saved or damned
It’s the crap that you talk that I can’t stand

I been thinking ‘bout where we’ve got to
Promise was your word and my dream is but a dream
Turns out you’re still a work in progress and
Listening to you just makes me want to shout and scream
You just gotta be right about everything
If ever there’s a last word, I’m hearing it from you
Can’t stop yourself from giving an opinion
Lord, is that really all that you can ever do?

I don’t care if it’s this or that
I don’t care if you know or not
I don’t care if you’re thick or smart
It’s the crap that you talk that broke my heart
