Mark and Beverly

about

Collaborative track with Adam WarRock originally recorded over White Shadow’s “Untouchable” beat and released on WarRock's Bandcamp in 2013. During our 2014 tour we edited Weezer's "Beverly Hills" to use as a live instrumental for the song. Unfortunately, WarRock retired from rapping before we had a chance to re-record our vox over the new beat, so I recorded both of our vocal parts for this release. Contains samples and chorus lyrics from Weezer’s “Beverly Hills.” Lyrics from “Mark & Eugene,” a collaborative single with Adam WarRock (2013). Vocals re-recorded 2017. Mixed by Vince Vandal.

lyrics

I’m a terror in jeans, like every therapist’s dream
And while the other one is dressed up in a suit with the seams
Maybe purple showing out his pocket square with a laugh
We’re the walking dead, eating everything in our path

And maybe you shouldn’t ask about our pasts, like did you see that?
I will kick you in the face, and I will break your knee caps
And we blow this doors out this, bloody beaten
Leave you on the pavement, motherfucking Steven Malkmus

Oh yes I’m indie or something, you think it’s nerdcore or nothing
I’m smoking sausage in the shack while powder dusting your muffins
Cold coffee, hot pizza on the track
Brass knuckles on my hands when I meet you in the back

You could swear I’m a fiend, I’m rage against the machine
Back in the 90’s when your politics were more on the scene
I hold a pro-choice sign at your pro-life function
Screaming “legalize weed!” because you ain’t saying nothing

Beverly Hills, that’s where I want to be
Living in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills, rolling like a celebrity
Living in Beverly Hills

Here comes trouble, son, listen, it's another one
From M & E, your enemies are all out of bubblegum
Thump you like a drum - bum - bum - bum ba dum
Dump the mic and run, dumb dumb, you're done

One comes from a past age, one had a crack phase
Each of them is sicker than a villager with black plague
Both admired idols who inspire rappers' hope
Will you ever be as dope? Long answer: nope

I suggest you listen to your language, learn some new terms
Like "mark," a word that serves as both a noun and a verb
You're just plain lazy on it, slurring your sounds
While I go John Wayne Gacy on it, murderous clown

I'm breaking it down I'm staking a claim at the crown taking the gates at the pound
Siccing the pit bulls upon you and watching you wailing and shake on the ground
Maybe it's now you’ll realize that stepping to mics is the same as just making a mess
Silly rappers, try and act like you ain't facing the best

Beverly Hills, that’s where I want to be
Living in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills, rolling like a celebrity
Living in Beverly Hills

If you’re a bad motherfucker named Mark, everybody say
Rock rock on, rock rock on
If you’re a bad motherfucker named Eugene, everybody say
Do that shit, do that shit, come on
If you’re a bad motherfucker named Mark, everybody say
Rock rock on, rock rock on
If you’re a bad motherfucker named Beverly, then you say
Do that shit, do that shit, come on

Beverly Hills, that’s where I want to be
Living in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills, rolling like a celebrity
Living in Beverly Hills
