Don’t Count On Me

Whenever you're in need, or just feeling down
Remember that I'm probably on tour
In a different town
If you're in a bind or feeling against a wall
Please don't make me one of the
First people that you call
And I mean this very sincere-ishly

Don't count on me, 'cause I'm the worst
If I'm there, it'll be a surprise to so many
Other friends that I'd call first
It's not that I don't care
I just don't care very much
'Cause I'm either on the spectrum
Or just plain out of touch
That's who I am, that's what I do
I could change if I wanted to, but I don't

But if you really (But if you rеally)
Need someone to count on
(Need someonе to count on)
To bring you stress, to extinguish happiness
And anxiety and duress
You can always count on me

'Cause I'm chalant, I'm inspiteful
I am peccable and compliable
I'm a cockroach in a salad
I'm invalid, not invalid i'm an empty diary
As useful as a college degree
I put the "emo" in chemotherapy
If you ever really need some one to be there

Don't count on me i'm just a clown
I'm gonna wind you up
I'm gonna cheer you down i made the choice
To accept what people think of me
I'll be your whipping boy
Or your friendly effigy
I'll even go down for the count

Don't count on me i've no hand to lend
I was born in the beginning
So I won't be there in the end
So feel free to call me friendly
Just please, don't call me friend

After thirty years I'm still the new guy
Sometimes guitaring feels like work
When I feel like Chekov or Sulu
And Fatty's Captain Kirk
I think he's the punk rock William Shatner
I can see the similarity
His clothes are too tight
He's out of touch and lacks sensitivity
Don't look at me like you're in shock
Smelly is our redshirt
He sure ain't Mr spock
And Melvin is a Klingon, look
They've got the same shaped face
And I'm sorry to tell you, Hefe
But in the future
There's still no Mexicans in space

So don't count on me
'Cause I couldn't be prouder
The coke I shared with you
Was just crank and baby powder
Just like Cokie the Clown
I'm gonna wind you up
I'm gonna cheer you down
'Cause this is what I consider fun
Making you think the song was already done
So don't count on me don't count on me
