Sometimes I think
All the other funny people
On the internet don’t like me
When they watch my videos
They think this dingus isn’t funny
Why do people like this uninventive
Loud, obnoxious hack
He isn’t cool
He’s just some mediocre
White guy with a mustache
Yeah, I’m pretty sure
All the other funny people
On the internet don’t like me
And that’s why I’m not invited
To any funny internet people parties
They get together and they bond over
What a pathetic loser I am
And it plays on a loop in my head
Cuz self destruction is my jam
Let’s go!
(Musical breakdown)

Car Rant
01:33
|
|||
I just saw a video
That pissed me off
I’m fuming
I’m emotional
I’m red hot
No time to sort my thoughts out
Before I hit record
I’m dropping in
No parachute
No rip chord
It’s time for a car rant
I’m gonna rant from the front seat of my car
Get ready for a car rant
Nobody’s safe
No matter who you are
My seatbelt’s on
I’m blasting off
Shooting from the hip
Ready to explode
I’m going on a car rant
Get ready let’s go

Bucket Hat

Bucket hat
Bucket hat
B-b-bucket hat
Bucket hat
B-b-bucket hat bucket
I’m in a bucket hat baby
Muh-fuckin truckin that
Up in that
Hot boy summer swag
Got a bag
Now I’m lovin that
Bucket hat life
I be rockin smooth, aye!
Look at my groove
I’m in a bucket hat baby
Nobody stopping me lately
Except to say you look really cool
When I grow up I wanna be just like you
Do you think you could teach me how to do
My fashion iconically too?
Now here’s the thing about fashion
is that it’s cyclical
Typically
Predictable
Seasonally
What goes around comes around
First your drip was dull
Now it’s full undeniable
Viable
It’s the hype
It’s so fly
A full aerial fully armed
Missile strike
(Beat)
And you can’t stop this design
Or the rhyme
The time of the day
Or your luck it
Changes so fast you can’t duck it
Try to but fuck it
I’m in a bucket hat baby
Muh-fuckin trucking that
Up in that
Hot boy summer swag
Got a bag
Now I’m lovin that
Bucket hat life

Clock Blocked
01:11
|

So you tried to promote
A think that you made
But tiktok said no no
We decide what you can and can’t post
We still run this show
If you think you can post whatever you like
And you’re never gonna get caught
You better think again
You got another thing coming
Cause whether you’re ready or not
You’ll get clock blocked
You’ll get clock blocked

Dad Bod FTW
01:18
|

I like my dad bod
I think it’s really cute
The girlies love it
And some of the boys do, too
(You know who you are)
Every day in my dad bod
So proud of my little pooch
If you’re feeling this rad bod
I might give you a little smooch
(But only if you enthusiastically consent)
My dad bod’s sexy
And so’s my double chin
Just livin my best life
Dad bod for the win

Me and my best friend Jonathan Groff
Me and my best friend J Groff
(J Groff!)
You probably think that he's your best friend
But guess what?
He's jonathan not
Don't ask him if he's my best friend
Cuz he likes to joke
That he isn't
But trust me when I say truly
That we're definitely best friends
Said that's my number one B
The true Jonathan G
That's my homie on lock J Groff

Nobody Cares
01:02
|
|||
Nobody cares
Nobody Cares
Nobody cares about that thing
I know that you think that they do
But I promise you
That they don’t
Nobody cares
Nobody cares
Nobody cares about that thing
You thought you had something special
And you were so excited
That’s so sad
So you can just do
Something better with your time
I don’t mind what it is
Just not this
Anything else will do fine
Cuz nobody cares
Nobody cares
Nobody cares the way you think
And now you’re gonna be like,
“Well if you don’t care why’d you write
A whole song about it?”
It’s because I care about letting you know
How little I care.
And because I needed something to write
a new comedic song about.
Okay??
I’m trying to make content, out here.
Maybe I’m running low on ideas.
How is that your business?
It’s not.
Just enjoy the song or like… keep scrolling.

Am I Crazy?
00:57
|
|||
I remember
I remember
The part of my mind
That never ever ever
Called the doctor in time
It’s like the part of me
That’s gotta be
Unhealthy or dyin
You can’t believe a word he says
Cuz if he’s talkin he’s lyin to ya
High-steppin to the end zone
Then fumblin like you’ve been thrown
Into a spiral a viral tidal wave a cyclone
Lookin like Dorothy might’ve took too many benzos
closing the deal
But now you’re heading for the friend zone
But I’ve been thinking bout identity
Like Kennedy my mind is blown
Cheap shot but the remedy’s
Elusive like invisibility
I bet that somebody sees
But it could never be me
And therapy helps
At least I tell myself it does
At least a dozen times a week
It’s worth the money because
It’s either that or isolation
In a mind that’s tumblin
tripped up
and wonderin if
all that makes me

Just Scroll Troll

Just scroll troll
If you're a troll just scroll
That stuff you're saying is just a bunch of bull
This is a troll-free zone
So take a hike
Get in your car
Or get on a bike
and get outta here
Ya bad guy
Just scroll troll

Little Blue Checkmark
01:12
|
|||
I like that
I don’t have a checkmark
It reminds me that I’m just some guy
I’m nobody important
I have not accomplished enough
To make any of these platforms think
I should be verified
For all you know
My real name could be Roger Krantz
A guy from Bridgeport, Connecticut
Who pissed his pants
In a Starbucks once
When he couldn’t get
The bathroom code
And so I came up with the pseudonym
Austin Archer
To rewrite my story
Put and end to Roger
This isn’t even my face
It’s an AI-generated deepfake mask
I don’t really have a mustache
Or a little blue checkmark
I ain’t no hifalutin
Rich inaccessible stooge
I’m just somebody who
Made you laugh once or twice
Shared a few of my videos
That you thighs were nice
And said he seems like a pretty alright dude
And I probably am

Slump (Studio Demo)
02:44
|
|||
Haven't written a thing in a long time
I need a song
I'm blocked up and tongue-tied
I'm losing confidence in my ability
To reliably make good art
Every day my guitar is collecting dust
You could Say that it was once my best skill
I was never that good at playing
But I could write a tune with the best of em
Holy shit I am getting old
I think about money so much
It's got me so out of touch
I can't connect to whatever I connected to
Back when I was broke
Alcoholic and 22
I don't really think this is good I just gotta get it out
Pull me out of the slump I've been stuck in
Scream and Shout
Add another reprieve to drive it home and break it down
I'll probably never release this on a record but no doubt
It qualifies as a song

To-Do List (Studio Demo)
02:03
|
|||
I could make a to do list
Or a phone call
Anything to stop this free fall
I’ve been here so many times
I just need to clear my mind
The only I am capable of doing
Is bingeing tv shows and YouTube
My home is a mess and I’m un-doing
All of my slowly garnered progress
Oh, my body and my mind
Can’t tell the difference between Temporary
And permanent skies
Stormy, gray, and so intimidating,
I’m gonna be alright (x3)
Waiting for a pick me up
A stroke of luck
A bit of energy
To shake me from this state
metamorphosize, regenerate
My body and my heart
Will remain waiting for whatever’s gonna
Act as the jump start
To get me back into a healthy groove
I’m gonna get in the car (x3)
And drive halfway cross the country
Til my pulse starts feeling normal again
Maybe Mississippi
Somewhere I have never been and then
My body and my mind
Will remember that the darkness is just
The absence of light
Soft, impermanent, and harmless really
I’m gonna be alright (x3)

I'm not writing these lyrics down either.
I made them up on the spot and I don't really know them tbh.
But I love you.
And thank you for buying this album!!
And if you're the kind of person who is actually reading this right now...
WOW!!
Just... wow. Thank you. You're the best.
