wordburglar - drawings with words lyrics
[intro]:
do you have the one where, wordburglar raps about comic books? though i+i know it, i know that happens on a lot of them, they delve with the one words [?], oh no, okay, alright, maybe it’s not out yet, just get me, lady death
[verse 1]:
yo, as a kid my favorite comic was nth man, the ultimate ninja
you got every one of those in multiples, didn’t ya?
yeah, and it took a while to uh, collect ’em all
i got the last one i needed down at the sh+tty mall
yes, yes, y’all, like leap fock?, that’s real talk
and when i’m not readin’ ’em, keep ’em safe in a sealed box
spidey, booster gold and x+men
ninja turtles, tick and john byrne’s next men
collectin’ milk & cheese, wilkie’s to strange adventures
for real geeks who can name avengers like:
triathlon, tigra, jack o’ hearts
u.s. agent though he was always in the wackest darks
you like starfox? that wouldn’t bug me
dude saw more p+ssy than catwoman’s undies
trust me, like hawkeye and mockingbird
you could call me a nerd, i like my drawings with words
word
[interlude]:
umm yes, i was wondering if you have the issue of defenders where um, the hulk goes shoppin’ for beans? yes
[chorus]:
i was into comic books and watchin’ cartoons
irredeemable, incorruptible, invincible
i was into comic books and watchin’ cartoons
justice league europe and uh, the invisibles
i was into comic books and watchin’ cartoons
stray toasters, stilt man, gravity
i was into comic books and watchin’ cartoons
grim jack, concrete, avengers academy
i read comics and books, yeah, move out
[verse 2]:
now my man arlex? put me on the scud?
that kiss comic (uhuh?) was made with blood
and squadron supreme had gruenwald’s ashes in
worth a lot but i can never cash it in
that’s dumber than kidnappin’ jim gordon
wanna make money? open a tim hortons
what can i say? i like art and books
from, steve mcniven’s to darwyn cooke’s
house of ideas, distinguished competition
back issues, i’ll be diggin’ on a mission
in the depths of the dollar and quarter bins
for rare singles, that no one was orderin’
and what you know about woodgod?
well, he’s a man+brewed lifeform who looks odd
i gotta give props to the king jack kirby
you wanna talk shop? well ask burgie
[interlude]:
uh, do you have the one where, tigra’s naked? hmm, yeah, i need it
[chorus]:
i was into comic books and watchin’ cartoons
stan lee, alan moore and eric larson
i was into comic books and watchin’ cartoons
reid fleming, flaming carrot, mcfarlane
i was into comic books and watchin’ cartoons
george perez, steve ditko, art adams
i was into comic books and watchin’ cartoons
jocasta is part robot, part madame
i read comics and books, yeah, move out
[outro]:
ah, this is for the forward front facers, the true believers, who know walking dead don’t need shoes and sneakers, you know i don’t know how to end this ’cause i could go on about comics forever like bendis, ryan ottley, wassup, man? yo, j+bone, i keep givin’ you money like a payphone, i gotta shout out all my people, strange adventure to the silver snail, uh, you gotta a question, burg, you’ll know, i make canadian jams like bernie marrow?, google it
