In this song, Busdriver is discussing casual sex as it relates to the utilitarian doctrine, specifically as a form of refutation.
The utilitarian doctrine is based off of the premise that a morally good act is one which leads to the most possible pleasure for the most possible people. Here, Busdriv...
[Verse 1]
By chance are you free
Here's my room key and splayed limbs
When I do me I play to win - Yeah (Promptly after we meet...)
You'll need to go drink absinthe
Under trees that grow leaves of absence (I left your ass alone)
While nursing hearts like leaking gaskets
[Hook]
This freedom it tastes funny
I am a case study
Dealing with utilitarian uses of love
To the ladies I'll be vague
Because I'm stretching my seed banks
Dipping my toe in the sleaziest cesspools above
[Verse 2]
My stage persona can be nude
Because the following day, it's renewed
And my subconscious is seafood - Yeah
When you invite me, I cross over
You'll smell burning and a waft sulfur
You've crashed along the soft shoulder
[Hook]
(We've got time)
(2x)
[Bridge]
Value sets and other moral imperatives
Don't have a place
And frankly we don't give a fuck about them
- You do - I don't
- You do - I don't
- Yes, you do - No, I don't
- You do - No, I don't
We don't give a fuck about them (3x)
(... of love)
[Verse 3]
The sex drive stupefies
Makes you feel like you're in Junior High
My impulses go unsupervised - Yeah
I prowl on foot and spin a yarn
When the crowd looks like wind farms
My defense mechanism's been disarmed
Yeah - This freedom it tastes funny
I am a case study
Dealing with utilitarian uses of love
(2x)
(Love)
