I Give Up

And I want you to make some great loud noises

For the hilarious, the really funny, Dan Cummings!

Oh, thank you, guys

One more time for Brandon and Pat

Yeah, thank you for coming out

Ah, if you guys have ever heard any of my stuff before

You know it tends to be, ah, fairly negative

Sometimes aggressively hateful

I wish I wasn't like that

I really do

I wish I was like a more positive, happy-go-lucky person

I see those people

They seem to have fun lives

You know, get along with everybody

That would've been nice

You know, just so many people just rub me the wrong way, right?

A while back, I was trying to put myself in a more

You know, positive mindset

I was driving down the road, and I was like, you know what?

You know, it can't just be everybody else

You know, I've got to take some responsibility

A lot of this has to be me

You know, I've got to stop judging people so quick

I've got to calm down

See the best in others

And as I'm thinking these kinds of positive thoughts

This complete piece of shit just cuts me off in traffic

It's like, dude, I'm trying to be positive right now!

Normally, I would snap in that situation

I'm like, no, no, I'm not going to snap today

I'm not going to snap

No way, 'cause everybody makes mistakes

Everybody makes mistakes

You know, maybe he just didn't see me, that's all

He'll, he'll realize what he did

Eventually, he'll apologize

You know, that's all I wanted

Just a little recognition for him almost killing me

Just a little like, oh, sorry about that, buddy

I didn't see you

And I'd have been like, "Don't even worry about it"

I'm different now

Ha ha ha!

I don't even care

You know, whatever somebody does in that situation

But he doesn't

He doesn't acknowledge me

So then I'm like, well, maybe he's

You know, he really truly didn't notice

And I just give him a little honk to let him know

He almost killed somebody

You know, but like a light honk

Like a non-threatening, not trying to start

Not trying to escalate it

More of a gentle caress of the steering area

Than an assertive push

You know, just a little like, "I don't like it when you do that"

Please be more careful

Ah, he hears that and then immediately

Just takes his window all the way down

And then just, pow

Just full tricep extension

All caps on that one

A lot of exclamation points

Just holds his finger out there, leaves it for a long time

I see it, I see him flipping me off

I see his face in his rearview mirror

Just his pompous, entitled, just smug

Just fucking punchable face

And that's when I thought, no

I just, I give up

I tried, I give up

And so then I raced up alongside him

And I threatened his life like a normal person does in that situation
