true story

lyrics

I was underneath the towers
When the first one hit
I had to take a shit so bad
But doors were locked
on every block
I had to take a shit so bad
The second one hit
On the times square screen
And the jumbotrons wept quietly
And down the street the people screamed
some people though it was the Chinese

and you and me
are in this shit together
and everybody is in this shit together


I finally found a bar
And I crapped cigars
And I mighta screamed "Semper Fi"
Wall street widows bought me sake bombs
and they cried and cried and cried
my teenage brooklyn art school girlfriend
was out donating blood
and just for once in my stinking life
I didn't give a damn about love

and you and me are in the shit together

I hated that goddamn president
When he was my goddamned governor
But I had faith that people could smell bullshit
Bullshit
Christians used to be good folks
And liberals used to get the joke
But on that day the whole world became bullshit
Bullshit

Bah-damp ba baddumpa

When I got back home to texas
Everybody was concerned
But mostly they were jealous of me
Cuz I got to smell the buildings burn
And I secretly wish they'd attack again
Cuz I miss the adrenaline
It's a lousy thing to say
But I feel that way
This country's got it coming

Cause Rupert Murdoch raped our folks
While they were drunk on grief
Now nothings more despicable
Than the thought of Christianity
Those dupes weren't always dupes
But they all got duped just the same
Amazing how its upside down
Cause of a couple of fucking planes

Roy Ivy Butte, montana

Drinking songs and sing-alongs: that's Roy Ivy's specialty .If you haven't seen him dancing and sloshing about Butte, America, you may have met him in his past lives as a Chicago troubadour. Or maybe you met him in Dallas, where he ran The Tah-Dahs off a cliff, and stupidly quit The Polyphonic Spree before they toured with Bowie.

New songs coming by the end of 2023.
