lyrics

If you say grandma haunts your house
If you say your grandson’s gay
If you light your lawn on fire
People call you cray-zy

It’s so easy to be down
It’s so hard to be free
It’s better to be odd
When you’re over 83

Loneliness breeds feelings
That were never meant to be
So you ought to find some joy
In scaring family

CHORUS
Being weird is better than being sad
It’s better than being blue
It’s better than being boring

Being sad is worse than crashing cars
It’s worse than getting old
And worth the cost of your grandson’s fragile, developing egos

I don’t advocate being reckless
I don’t think you need a shrink
Weird people are just awkward people
Who don’t give a fuck what you think

CHORUS
Being weird is better than being sad
It’s better than being blue
It’s better than being boring

Being sad is worse than getting old
It’s worse than crashing cars
It’s worse than a long, awkward silence, followed by death.

about

The Bushwick Book Club Brooklyn, New York

We started in January 2009 playing songs written in response to Kurt Vonnegut's Breakfast of Champions. We haven't stopped since. We've written & performed songs inspired by everything from "On The Origin of Species" to Dr. Seuss to Raymond Carver. There are BBCs popping up nationwide now. Bushwick Book Club Seattle started in 2010 & is run by Geoff Larson. Our nerdy dare-devilry knows no bounds. ... more
