lyrics

Found this bottle
In a thrift store
Thought it'd look nice on my mantel someday
When I cleaned it
Out popped out a genie who said
He'd grant me three wishes

Then I remembered from Aladdin
And thought I would do the right thing
Now I feel just like a dumbass
And wish I had taken time to think

I freed the genie on the first wish
Thought I'd do a good deed
For a genie in need
Now he's wrecking up everything I own
Making prank calls on my phone
I freed the genie and
I wish he would just leave me alone

He ain't grateful
He's dedicates all his time
To mess with my life
Using magic
To make my kitchen a mess And look up lady's dresses

He's making fun of my clothes
Watching me shower like a creep
Making a pass at my girlfriend
Drawing dicks on me as I sleep

I freed the genie on the first wish
Thought his slavery was cruel
Now I just feel like a tool
He doesn't close his mouth when he chews
He's got surprisingly racist views
I freed the genie and
I wish I had one more wish to use

And it's a whole new world of misery for me
I thought he'd be my new best friend
Delighting me with his impressions
But he just hangs out on my futon
Eating Chef Boyardee from the can

When I told him
He had to go get a job
He said you're not my master
Then I threatened
If any more time here he spent
He'll have to pay rent

So he marched on out the door
And started wrecking havoc in the streets
Setting schools and hospitals on fire
And telling all the townsfolk to blame me

Cuz
I freed the genie on my first wish
All those years in his sitch
Sure made him a bitch
And now that I've paid the price
I guess my lesson is to always think twice
Before doing anything nice

about

Hadge

"Fascinating," "Eclectic," "Hard for dumb-dumbs to understand" - these are just some of the terms Mike Hadge uses to describe his music. Despite 23 breakups and 19 reunions (the most recent at the 2012 NYC Fringe Festival), The Mike Hadge Trio are the defining indie rock outfit of our time. Truly, their music shall live on far longer than any of us will. ... more
