about

words by Brandon Follett
music by Veronica and the Mental Foreplays

lyrics

I’ve been quite a fan of self medication.

Monday, my cat Boo kept me awake
wanting to play.
My cat and I both split a Valium.

Tuesday, Little House on the Prairie
drew a tear.
I steal a Zoloft from my roommate.

Wednesday, I watch Days of Our Lives
while walking on the treadmill.
After the strenuous workout
I was tired.
Crank really put the pep
back in my step.

Thursday, yesterday
I used up the last of my Grandmothers Vicadan?
for her broken hip.
Today, I got a paper cut,
luckily there was a fifth of whiskey.

Friday, I felt creative
bought a Mickey Mouse coloring book.
I drew a blank couldn’t decide
which color to use.
I drop two hit of acid.

Saturday, got some love in.
It was mediocre.
We then did a line of coke.
It really makes her moan,
and me, I feel like a man.

Sunday, went to a church potluck.
Normally, I find the food isn’t delicious
and the people are boring.
Pot makes the food tasty
and people hilarious.

I will admit to never
truly liking this ghetto life.
Sometimes I’d go to Barnes and Knobles
to read literature: People, Comso, Shape, and GQ.
The magazines inform me
of western culture and thought
through beautiful designer ads.
DRUGS DRUGS DRUGS

I want to be middleclass!
This is a dream I can indulge in
if only I had insurance.

A month later after the epiphany
I became blessed
with a well paying job
and benny’s.

Goodbye dealer!
No longer slinking in allies or
trying to make a deal
with people on dope
as they play their play station.
I deserve dry, air-conditioned lounges,
with diplomas framed on walls
instead a picture of Bob Marley
taking a toke.

I now got the perks
to afford a self medicated
middleclass life style.

Monday, I worked out.
Tired.
Gee, I think I suffer from ADD.
Nothing like snorting a little Ritalin
to get your day going!

Veronica and the Mental Foreplays Cambria, California

Neither "Veronica" nor Brandon Follett can break the rules, because there simply aren't any that apply. They are innocent.

Veronica and the Mental Foreplays, IS her imaginer Brandon Follett. It's as straightforward as a one to four person band, named after a blowup doll called Veronica.
