Kamala's Too Nice
Screeching Weasel · Kill The Musicians [1995]
Called her best friend Kaci on the phone read Art of Loving by Erich Fromme
She made enchiladas for me man
I won't take advantage of her and
I won't even ask her to book my band
Kamala's too nice I'm such a dick
Kamala's too nice and I'm a pig
Kamala's too nice she makes me sick
I sit in her apartment acting rude
Eat mashed potatoes in the nude
She don't care cause she's totally way rad dude
I keep her television on all night
And then I start up a fight
And tell her she's wrong cause I'm always right
