MASH from UNCANNY by Dusty's My Friend

i, don’t need a mountain
and i, don’t need a mansion
i, don’t need a spouse and
i, don’t even need a house no
you, can play MASH all you want
but i want nothing i can flaunt
i don’t want a family except it depends on
what you consider me to be
‘cause i, don’t need fancy clothes
don’t need, ducklings in a row
don’t want to, have to hit to the road
i, want to live alone

you can play MASH
but i don’t want a part in that
if it were me it would SMASH
no it wouldn’t be that bad
but i, don’t have the patience
and i, don’t have the time ‘cause
i have goals to accomplish
and sorry to bear the bad news
but they don’t exactly involve you

i, want to stand on my
two feet, don’t want to have
to leave but don't
want to have the choice
i want to always
have a voice

yes i’m, okay with being alone,
okay with not having a house
as long as i have a home
a home

no, don’t need 7 digits
no, i don’t need your message
yes i, just want to find my way
just want to live today
just want to see, the day
just want to make my face
do things it hasn’t
done in awhile
smile, i’ll smile

and i, will be happy
yes i, don’t need a wifey
and i, don’t want kids
don’t ask me why i live like this
‘cause i, will answer truthfully
and you, you won’t believe me
but i, will answer anyway
though, expect me to hesitate
‘cause people, tend to not like me
and people, say i’m lying

as if they, even know
my heart, and the road
the road that got me here
don’t believe the rumors you hear
‘cause i, am not faking it
no i, don’t want a husband
i, just want my friendships
i, just want my music
i, just need a friend to share with
i, just need someone to listen

yes i’m okay with being alone,
okay with not having a house
as long as i have a home
a home

now go
play MASH if that
is how u want to live, no
i’ll support you
even if u don’t
support me
i’ll believe you
even if u look
at your feet

so let me live
let me breathe
and let my friends
breathe out,
let them scream
let them be who they want to see
let them scream
let them be who they want to see
