I Apologize For This One

Look, you guys have been good to me; you really have. I haven’t received a single piece of hate mail, any death threats, and the only brick to have been tossed through our windows was apparently meant for The Boy. All of that makes what I’m about to do so much more difficult. I just have to; I can’t shoulder this burden alone. Try not to hold it against me.

Allow me to introduce Tay Zonday. He’s a singer/songwriter, although I use the last term very loosely. I’ve heard the song about 30-40 times now, and countless more in my head, but I still don’t know what the hell his point is. He seems fairly emphatic, but I have no idea why.

Yeah, I know, it’s nearly 5 minutes long. That’s an eternity in Youtube. I wish I could say it’s worth it, but that wouldn’t make me a bastard; it would make me a lying bastard.

Here are the lyrics:

Chocolate Rain
Some stay dry and others feel the pain
Chocolate Rain
A baby born will die before the sin

Chocolate Rain
The school books say it can’t be here again
Chocolate Rain
The prisons make you wonder where it went

Chocolate Rain
Build a tent and say the world is dry
Chocolate Rain
Zoom the camera out and see the lie

Chocolate Rain
Forecast to be falling yesterday
Chocolate Rain
Only in the past is what they say

Chocolate Rain
Raised your neighborhood insurance rates
Chocolate Rain
Makes us happy ‘livin in a gate

Chocolate Rain
Made me cross the street the other day
Chocolate Rain
Made you turn your head the other way

(Chorus)
Chocolate Rain
History quickly crashing through your veins
Chocolate Rain
Using you to fall back down again
[Repeat]

Chocolate Rain
Seldom mentioned on the radio
Chocolate Rain
Its the fear your leaders call control

Chocolate Rain
Worse than swearing worse than calling names
Chocolate Rain
Say it publicly and you’re insane

Chocolate Rain
No one wants to hear about it now
Chocolate Rain
Wish real hard it goes away somehow

Chocolate Rain
Makes the best of friends begin to fight
Chocolate Rain
But did they know each other in the light?

Chocolate Rain
Every February washed away
Chocolate Rain
Stays behind as colors celebrate

Chocolate Rain
The same crime has a higher price to pay
chocolate Rain
The judge and jury swear it’s not the face

(Chorus)

Chocolate Rain
Dirty secrets of economy
Chocolate Rain
Turns that body into GDP

Chocolate Rain
The bell curve blames the baby’s DNA
Chocolate Rain
But test scores are how much the parents make

Chocolate Rain
‘Flippin cars in France the other night
Chocolate Rain
Cleans the sewers out beneath Mumbai

Chocolate Rain
‘Cross the world and back its all the same
Chocolate Rain
Angels cry and shake their heads in shame

Chocolate Rain
Lifts the ark of paradise in sin
Chocolate Rain
Which part do you think you’re ‘livin in?

Chocolate Rain
More than ‘marchin more than passing law
Chocolate Rain
Remake how we got to where we are.

(Chorus) (more) (less)

Yeah, I know, and I agree. How can I possibly call my blog My Diseased Mind while this guy walks the earth? Glad you asked. I wrote my own lyrics, only I was a lot less creative in my rhyming scheme.

Chocolate Rain
Damn this sunlight gives me a migraine
Chocolate Rain
Alan Ladd was really good in Shane

Chocolate Rain
The ’92 Olympics were in Spain
Chocolate Rain
This migraine is still causing me great pain

Chocolate Rain
I have never ridden on a train
Chocolate Rain
I’m a little wary of this stain

Chocolate Rain
Bread is made from wheat which is a grain
Chocolate Rain
All they do at church is lots of pray’n

Chocolate Rain
That dude in 300 was finally slain
Chocolate Rain
He smells just like a dog left in the rain

Chocolate Rain
I don’t think I’d like a guy named Blaine
Chocolate Rain
I’d probably shoot him square in the brain

Chocolate Rain
Comic books can always entertain
Chocolate Rain
Don’t get me started on that Supermain

Chocolate Rain
Just what the hell is with that John McCain
Chocolate Rain
His neck if flappy like a donkey wang

Chocolate Rain
Has an ulcer cuz his wife’s insane
Chocolate Rain
She’s fuckin’ crazy up in the membrane

Yep, that’s two hours of my life I’ll never get back.
