Brain in a Jar
Reality sucks
It’s eternally true
What happened to me
Could happen to you
One evening you’re fine,
You know who you are,
But the dawning light shows
You’re a brain in a jar.
Brain in a jar, brain in a jar,
Reality sucks, you know it’s so true
And the worst of it is, there’s nothing to do
Cause you’re just a brain in a jar.
Your job really sucks
And it sucks to be you
And you’ll finally find out
That it’s certainly true
When they pour you out
It’s not original sin
They just really need
The container you’re in.
Brain in a jar, brain in a jar,
Your job sucks, you know it’s so true
And the worst of it is, there’s nothing to do
Cause you’re just a brain in a jar.
Your lover sucks,
But not in a good way
Romance is a crock
Even if you’re gay
Your intentions were good
Your motives were pure
But the best of the wurst
Is still sausage for sure.
Brain in a jar, brain in a jar
Brain in a jar, brain in a jar…
If this sad truth gets under your skin
You don’t understand the pickles you’re in
Cause you’re just a brain in a jar….
Brain in a jar, brain in a jar
Brain in a jar, brain in a jar...

Brain in a jar, brain in a jar…
OK, which author will ask Erin permission to have their characters that are in some band singing that song ?
Peace and Love tmf
Ramones!
That's who I hear singing it. :)
I thought about writing a Rae story using this song but it's too cynical even for a three thousand year old fallen angel. :)

Thank a lot! Now I'm stuck
Thank a lot! Now I'm stuck with Joey singing those lyrics going through my head!
It's right out of the punk rock songwriting handbook, any number if the greats of punk could have sung it with their own flair.
I'm told STFU more times in a day than most people get told in a lifetime
Almost
It's almost too complex for a Ramones song. :)

Any group, special night...
Halloween bash or Friday the 13 Special.

We do the Monster Mash!

Ramones
I, oh, lets go !
Can't figure out which song goes with 'brain in a jar', but I think might be this one
'Brain in a Jar'
My first thought when I saw the title was the sci-fi comedy movie from the 80's
The Man with Two Brains
Staring Steve Martin
Artist - James Bonamy
Album - What I Live to Do
I don't ever use it anyway
Don't think about nothing, cause kissing and hugging
Is all I want to do these days
They oughta make a plan, get a research grant
And study me around the world
I know it's bizarre, got my brain in a jar
Ever since I learned about girls
It was a stormy night in Georgia when I was born
Daddy's greatest expectations in bodily form
Teacher said I had the brightest future she'd ever seen
But their hopes all ended the day I turned fourteen
I got my brain in a jar in the closet in the dark
I don't ever use it anyway
Don't think about nothing, cause kissing and hugging
Is all I want to do these days
They oughta make a plan, get a research grant
And study me around the world
I know it's bizarre, got my brain in a jar
Ever since I learned about girls
Momma called the state hospital to send a doctor down
She said doctor all he ever does is follow girls around
Well they looked inside my head and what'cha think they saw
Doctor said there ain't nothing in here at all
I got my brain in a jar in the closet in the dark
I don't ever use it anyway
Don't think about nothing, cause kissing and hugging
Is all I want to do these days
They oughta make a plan, get a research grant
And study me around the world
I know it's bizarre, got my brain in a jar
Ever since I learned about girls
I know it's bizarre, got my brain in a jar
Ever since I learned about girls
Artist - Ramones
Album - Animal Boy
You've got to pick up the pieces
C'mon, sort your trash
You better pull yourself back together
Maybe you've got too much cash
Better call, call the law
When you gonna turn yourself in? Yeah
You're a politician
Don't become one of Hitler's children
Bonzo goes to Bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea
As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces
My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down
Shouldn't wish you happiness, wish her the very best
Fifty thousand dollar dress
Shaking hands with your highness
See through you like cellophane
You watch the world complain, but you do it anyway
Who am I, am I to say
Bonzo goes to Bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea
As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me
Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy
Pick up the pieces
My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down
If there's one thing that makes me sick
It's when someone tries to hide behind politics
I wish that time could go by fast
Somehow they manage to make it last
My brain is hanging upside down
I need something to slow me down
Artist - Ramones
Album - Road to Ruin
I used to be an A student
I never used to complain
I used to be a truant
But I'm still the same
Bad bad brain
Bad bad brain
I used to go to parties
I used to drink champagne
Now I'm beginning to feel the strain
Bad bad brain
Bad bad brain
I used to be in show biz
I used to have fortune and fame
I used to have pleasure and pain
I used to have a name
Bad bad brain
Bad bad brain
Now I'm on the Bowery
I can't remember my name
Bad bad brain
Bad bad brain
Hadn't heard those
Hadn't heard those until after I wrote the song above. Well, I'd probably heard the Ramones one but I didn't remember it. :)

Hey! Ho! Let's Go!
Hey! Ho! Let's Go! is the Ramones signature song and a lot of what I was thinking of. :)
