Misanthrope

lyrics

MISANTHROPE

I DONíT CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK
I KIND OF THINK THAT PEOPLE STINK
I DONíT CARE ABOUT YOUR DREAMS AND HOPES
CAUSE IíM JUST A MEAN OLD MISANTHROPE

I JUST WANT TO GET IN YOUR WAY
I WANT TO MESS UP WHAT YOUíRE DOING TODAY
ASK ME A QUESTION THE ANSWERíS NOPE
CAUSE YOUíRE DEALING WITH A CRUSTY OLD MISANTHROPE

MISANTHROPE MISANTHROPE

I DONíT WANT LOVE I DONíT WANT FRIENDS
THE ONLY THING I WANT IS REVENGE
UH-UH BABY IíM BITTERSWEET
GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES AND KISS MY FEET

COME ON BABY DONπT BE SHY
POINT YOUR PISTOL INTO THE SKY
WAIT TIL A PASSING AIRPLANE GOES BY
AND AIM THAT PISTOL WITH YOUR EYE

AND BE A MISANTHROPE MISANTHROPE

I CANπT SUCCEED CAUSE I ALREADY TRIED
I CAN NEVER BE SATISFIED
I GAVE UP HOPE A LONG TIME AGO
SOMETHING DEEP INSIDE SAID NO

MY EMOTIONS ARE ALL TIED UP
IπM AFRAID THAT IπM ALL DRIED UP
IπM GETTING OLD BEFORE MY TIME
MISANTHROPE THAT IS MY CRIME

MISANTHROPE
MISANTHROPE
I LOST HOPE
NOW IíM A MISANTHROPE

Paul McMahon Woodstock, New York

From a musical family he explored folk, jug, blues and rock quitting music at 20 for art, returning as a punk rocker at 27. Then a long oddysey, solo and band in search of the real real deal; the songs becoming a diary of psychological and spiritual experience; shamanism and ordination as an Interfaith minister.
January 2020 tour of DC Ba Ph & Bk was his first at 69 organized by Goodflavor45
