Mister Hollowbody

Mister Hollowbody thinks that he is one in a million
he thinks that all in all, life is pretty much a drag
Mister Hollowbody doesn’t want to hear about tomorrow
he just wants to put it on cruise control
but Mister Hollowbody gets bored very easily
with his itsy bitsy teeny weeny microscopic barely functioning
attention span
Mister Hollowbody only likes women that are under his thumb
and Mister Hollowbody loves remote control
Mister Hollowbody thinks that chains are very cool
Mister Hollowbody has self esteem issues
but he has become a master of illusion & deception when it comes to keeping them hid
Mister Hollowbody loves/hates his mother
Mister Hollowbody hates/loves his father
Mister Hollowbody is all mixed up
Mister Hollowbody likes to dip his chips
Mister Hollowbody likes to say,“Charge it.”
but Mister Hollowbody has piss poor credit
Mister Hollowbody can really lap it up, when it comes to back slapping
and he can really dish it out, when it comes to back stabbing
Mister Hollowbody hungers for a free lunch
Mister Hollowbody craves a hug
Mister Hollowbody would rather receive than give
Mister Hollowbody is intense
when it comes to defending his opinions
Mister Hollowbody is switching channels – he’s restless again
Mister Hollowbody is planning a weekend at the beach
he’s got a girlfriend now – poor lady!
Mister Hollowbody has iridescent business cards
and savors the texture of plastic
Mister Hollowbody likes to take two hour lunches
and he pities anyone that doesn’t have a membership in the same country club that he does
Mister Hollowbody never forgets to color his grey
and Mister Hollowbody loves to get laid
but he’s forgotten the date when child support gets paid
Mister Hollowbody sincerely wishes that somebody, anybody
once and for all would explain it all to him
even though he knows that he has all the answers
but Mister Hollowbody has most definitely lost his way
because Mister Hollowbody has no self-knowledge, but
waddles around his world pregnant with self-delusion
and Mister Hollowbody does not know the meaning of
introspection
