So I was thinking today
about originality, yeah?
And I remembered the words of that really old Greek guy
Socrates, or Plato, or Aristophanes or something;
and he said: "Everything's been said before."
Everything's been done before, even in those times;
I wonder who said that before him?
and i wonder who said that line in that song
by the bloodhound gang
(the lap-dance is so much better when the stripper is cryin')
that goes like this:
"[I have a dream
I have a dream
I have a dream of]
Jesus Christ
[and he's]
jackhammering Mickey Mouse
in the doo-doo hole with a lawn dart [yeah]
as Garth Brooks gives birth to something [something]
resembling a cheddar cheese log with almonds [ooh]
[right on] on Santa Claus's tummy-tum."
And so I play you on through my head
Watching Garden State for the fifty-first time since we broke up
The part where Natalie Portman does that thing (you know what I mean)
I can remember so specifically, the blurry images come to me
In vivid color.
Smoke a little pot on an upholstered couch in someone else's humble abode
While I wait for the sauerkraut to finish simmering
My blood is boiling, but I try not to think about it.

Author notes
This is completely fictional, just something I thought of that would be cool. It started with this idea of originality, and that thing that Plato or Socrates (one of those dudes) said about everything being said before. And I thought of that song "The Lap Dance is So Much Better When the Stripper is Cryin'" and I guess I thought I'd look pretty clever with that ironic bit of plagiarism.
Please tell me what you think
