about

Song title from "The Big Lebowski"

Inspired by the quote "Even on the highest throne in the world, you're still sitting on your ass," "Donnie..." is a song about how some people believe they are better than everybody else even though we're really all the same. It also delves into how abusive relationships can be. The song features some sexy "Oooohs" and glorious Paeton Gillette drumming.

lyrics

She took him to a strip mall
Made him shop for shoes and everybody stared
Wishes he could be there,
Somewhere, near There, here There
Nowhere, anywhere but here
Then they went to dinner
And they caught a late night picture show
Wishes he could hit that, tap that
Lick that, touch that
Screw that he ain't going near

She doesn't learn from mistakes
And she doesn't eat steak, she's vegetarian
But she'll eat you alive
So you'd better run and hide

Standing on the edge of the world
The ocean still seems far away
Your ten foot flag is unfurled
Casting a shadow on our day
Even on the highest throne
You're still sitting on your ass
But the truth still remains
I still feel sorry for you

Pick her up on Friday
There's a party at her best friend's house
Says she's gonna smoke that, drink that,
Shot Glass, Shake ass, Get smashed
Have another beer
Left her at the party
Went home with a girl who reads Shakespeare
Because she has intelligence, compliments
Common sense, no offense,
Makes sense to everybody here

We all feel sorry for you
