Verse 1:
I wouldn’t cross the street to pee on him if he were on fire
It would be a public service if he were to expire
When people call him turtlehead I have to object
To abuse the turtles thusly shows extreme disrespect
Chorus:
What did a turtle ever do to you
you’d say a thing so cruel and untrue
as that Mitch McConnell’s countenance
is like that of our reptilian friends
and what did turtles ever do to you?
Verse 2:
You don’t see them acting like obstructionist dicks
Or stacking courts with rapey, infantile pricks
They don’t use their turtle powers to push partisan hacks
Or go pulling fascist levers like a Himmler on crack
Bridge:
much like the adhesive used to hold up Trump’s hair
there’s not a lot in nature to which he can compare
while turtles might be loners give ‘em this much at least:
they ain’t power trippers blowing on a vile orange beast

I have appreciated your music for over a decade. Even the misses are still base hits. Between collaring with Edan (looooooong time fav), Quelle, and Deca, I never know what to expect but I know it’ll always be a joy to listen to. Thank you for giving us as much music as you can. tavis206

Hey you there, do you love Jeffrey Lewis? Do you love Peter Stampfel? Are you intrigued by the notion of music that has spent so many years secretly soaking in laughter and joy that it is now downright psychedelic to look upon? Both Ways is the culmination of a decade's friendship and mutual inspiration, a behemoth of a double album, spectacular, unique. It is a signpost for drifting souls. Listen, laugh, wonder, delight, be made new. And play Orgone Accumulator fucking LOUD. Grain Sparrow

Just a beautiful jazzy rap album with buttery smooth flows versed with huge talent. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. zhangtastic
