ES | PR With an honest approach and genius musical expression heard in new classics like "Tuckin In The Homies," "Shits Fucked" and the legendary "Fuck 2020," Paul Bender's Middle Aged Caucasian Existential Debut Rap Record almost relieves the painful tension of my own neverending depressive existential rebellion against life.

12 out of 10; would cry to this album again Favorite track: FUCK 2020.

Crumhorn 02:33
That’s right, it’s the motherfucking crumhorn That’s sound of Bender bustin out with his guns drawn Just kidding, I don’t preach violence Just talk a bunch of shit to fill up the silence Everyone in iso on their lonely little islands Some stay low, some choose the highlands Reborn in the fire of the Phoenix Audio equivalent of showing you my penis I’m Sorry if you’re squeamish But You chose the wrong rekkid Always have the worst thoughts sittin here neglected Need a shrink to get my whole mind disinfected Its the sound of the medieval consort Whole world going crazy with the blood sport Aftermath of the Black Plague Bunch of silly nonsense like Zappa with the black page I got rage, but I keep it pretty hidden This time I turn it too hot for your mittens I like kittens, I like turtles I like the girls with the power like squirtle If I had to theorise the way I’d like to die it’s to drown between a pair of thighs, ya feel me? Gotta rationalise why I’m 35 and rappin brutal lines every time, it’s the real me Or is it just a mask, an alter ego Call the ghostbusters cos I’m here, Lord Vigo Carpathian sorcerer, with the torture Like a second grade kid on recorder Drink a flagon o’ mead, smoke a mountain of weed Ride the mightiest steed, that’s some king shit The court jester with the Viking ancestors, protesters always trynna throw me in the fire pit Comin at the castle with the flames, the pitchforks Motherfuckers always jealous, I’m a rich dork Nonetheless, I’m the polyrhythm killer Bender got the dames from Tokyo to New York I’m a chiller, I’m a good sport See you at the banquet I’ll be drinking all the good port Eating all the good Pork and the ox meat Take you to the opera got a private little box seat Watch a Bach suite on the harpsichord Im hardly bored, when I’m with the artsy broads Always end up fucking with the crazy ones Always end up coming after me with the lazer guns Oh well, I still don’t regret em Gotta go through hell if ya gonna get to heaven Bender gotta keep it real 24/7, 24/7

Tried to use my real accent was a bad choice Not from America, just got a mask on Can’t take careaya , if ya gonna ask wrong Gonna chill in Preston, buzzed on the fine beers Musical impressions too refined for ya swine ears But who cares? Gotta keep it gritty in the city where I vibe hard Bender always mastering a thing but never try hard Only starting raps the other minute but ya mind charred In my destiny to be the one to lead the vanguard Got em so wet that Im gonna need a lifeguard You be can be the Baywatch I can be the die hard Kinda like a bard Hairy kinda shakespeare original, in an endless sea of fuckin fakes here Don’t need your fake cheer get turbo on it Find me in my quarters where I’m gonna write another sonnet You beneath it, I’m upon it This one goes, this one goes, this one goes out to the town that I’m currently abiding This one goes, this one goes, this one goes out to the town that I currently reside in

Here’s a little story bout a self conscious rapper Might be pretty good or very much crapper My first rap CD Might hurt me when they tease me Made this in a mania Not feeling very breezy Fella from Tasmania, Make beats so very easy I hope I’m not just draining ya I hope I’m not too cheesy g Not like Easy E but I still got flow tho Heavy like a period I’m a bro not a ho though Sorry for my words being so adolescent, so effervescent, Yeah I’m a king, yeah a peasant, so unpleasant Try not to give a fuck about it Anyway Any day, Hopefully won’t look like a guy who gotta go to Jenny Craig Where my Betty Paige I ain’t past my petty phase Microwave some ready mades Serenade like a renegade heating up the centigrade Do a lotta things where I’m never paid, do it for the love, never for the accolades This much technique after one year? I hit my peak after one beer Out one side and in the one ear Motherfucker listen, I made it very clear The host of the ghost train with the most brain smokes the most strains Spooky guy, get ya hella high Take you for a ride till you wanna cry Mix with Stellavox Getting hella stocks Smell like hella Sox Swell like fellas cocks (ew) So nasty, so professional Slip into the booth for another confessional Don’t need a priest, they too arrest-able Keep saying words that are so regrettable Only thing I fiddle is synthesisers sounds like pulling teeth with some pliers Do raps cos shit is fire Once you hear me preach you in the choir I got fresh rhymes but a bad voice Not my first time on a bad choice I got more words like I’m James Joyce A Volvo mixed with a rolls Royce Well studied so I gotta lotta knowledge You dumb so I send ya back to college My raps you never expected Going in raw like I’m unprotected My hero’s the Old Dirty Bastard so crazy flirty Dastardly I’m a supervillain No melanin I got vanilla in My skin cos I’m so whitebread drop bombs nuclear warheads Get drunk puke on your bedspread Never put me in the top place in ya bunkbed Probably gonna fall down Massacre rhymes like Brian Jonestown Try to have a smile instead of the small frown I’m too fast dude really gotta slow down Onomatopoeia Sizzle in yo ear Smashing all the beer Sounding very clear Hero of my peers Grindin all your gears Bringing you to tears Sad like boo hoo Gettin the calls from honeys like yoohoo If ya gotta criticism well then screw you Better than you and better than ya crew too

Heartbreaker 03:21
Honestly feelin’ pretty unlovely One a scale from one to ten, I’m ugly Poor little bendy got left in the cold Tried to stay fresh but instead got old At least a little older, nothing but cold shoulders, everywhere I go I still gotta flow Still wanna know Why she really walked away Guess I’ll hose down the concrete and wash the chalk away My outline on the ground, this is where they found me Here lies Bender Victim of a heartbreaker Guess I’ll make some armour, fire up the foundry Hurts to remember Pass me down the salt shaker Pour another shot, forget me not, Or forget me now, it doesn’t really matter Glass shatters when I’m lookin in the mirror I really miss your spirit, really miss the chatter Gotta keep making beats to fill up the emptiness Used to be a sweet guy now I’m just a twisted mess You should try a little tenderness When ya gonna pull the rug out When ya draining all my blood out Vampires know how to charm ya Disarm ya I guess I have a type, this I know with no doubt Damn liars bringin every kind of melodrama At least she not my baby mama, Though sometimes I wonder What my life would be like if had someone to watch, comfort in the thunder and the rain, the tears and the pain If I had a daughter, if I had a son, would I likely Fuck em up? Would I do the worst job for my precious buttercup? Maybe I’m pretty fuckin lazy I stay hazy I keep daydreaming Hear the sound of screaming Somewhere in the distance That’s the sound of my soul, crisis of existence Such persistence Always haunted by the ghosts of dreams I always wanted Wish I had some beauty so that I could try to flaunt it Can’t believe the awful ways in which you responded You really fucked me up fam Complete annihilation You left me here a broken man Something got lost in translation Wish I was a little wiser, wish I had a better plan I guess it’s too late anyway Bendy on the mend, gotta send me on a better way Who’s to say, the lost are the lonely Bruises always heal, at least I’m not a phony Gonna get back on the pony And ride it like I stole the motherfucker Yeah I’m down, but Im ready for the upper The last supper, except without the Judas I’m watching for who you is You can’t trust everyone Don’t forget that everything you see is just a setting sun, a setting sun, a setting sun

FUCK 2020 02:37
Bender’s back to commit career suicide  Time to show you motherfuckers poison that I brew inside Fuck every single one of you with absolutely no exception   Hate you fuckers equally, suck on my erection  Lotta anger in the world today, if you hadn’t noticed Everybody think they got the answer but it’s fucking bogus Your dreams are hocus pocus Sufferings eternal as the Buddha said  In the scheme of things, you’ll soon be dead Each and everyone of us Beauty, it is always fleeting  Love it while you can before the universe gives you a beating  Clearly in bad zone  Know I’m not the only one 2020 fucking everybody, it’s a loaded gun, A burning sun  Not a lotta fun Everybody plays their part in the misery, it’s grisly The strangest time in history, people rush to get to the artillery The climates killing everyone, it’s killing you, it’s killing me  You hate the cops, you be a cop Cancel culture snitches On your throne of Holy judgement  Crying like some bitches They’re poisoning the rivers On a land that’s built on genocide The silence of my childhood, loud from ghosts, left behind  I’m privileged, I’m fragile, and oh boy do I know it  At least I’m agile in my mind but I’m still gonna blow it  My life, I never chose it, it chose me, and I’m thankful Sorry if this is too much for you to fucking handle but Everything’s a scandal, everyone’s a vandal Everything you do to reach your dreams fills up a landfill  Only when the sun consumes the earth is there a standstill  Puppet masters laughin’ as we tear apart the anthill Am I bleak and nihilistic?  Am I wise or just a misfit?   Am I preaching to the choir or just dying at the pulpit? I can hear the doomsday clock, it’s cracking like a bullwhip You really think that your solution’s actually some new shit?   Don’t prescribe me ideology, I know your holy books just a footnote in an anthology Just go back and take a look On the wheel of time which grinds us all to blood and dust  Trynna love each other with compassion is a fuckin must  I’m just bein’ honest cos I’m trying to build some trust Sometimes fuck it up, so do you, yeah so fuckin what We gotta come together, like how Thelma and Louise ends If we gonna drive it off the cliff at least we still friends I’ll be playing mellow on the deck of the titanic Bowin cello from the heart to soothe em in the sinking panic  Nothings ever static  Things are always changing  Terminator coming to your house to blow your brains in  This the shell I came in  This the hell I rein in  I know it’s not the same as yours but why we fuckin blamin Standing with a shovel, you can fill a fucking grave in Life’s a fucking puzzle, not as simple as you claiming  Everywhere is tragedy so don’t be fucking mad at me  I’d gladly change it all tomorrow if I had the power G But I can’t My hearts broken  My lungs choking my minds croakin used to be so soft spoken, What the hell have I been tokin’? FUCK FUCK 2020

Just lay me in the Chai tent I can’t believe my minds bent So outta shape Can’t escape from landscapes in the curtains and the drapes Everything is slowing down like playin broken cassette tapes Can’t drink the wine cos I’m fearing for the wrath of grapes All the patterns form, even when my eyes tight Everybody’s skin is filled with magic purple highlights Can’t tell if it’s noon or maybe it’s the twilight Am I seeing real things or trickery of eyesight?

Telephone 03:27
Hey Whaddup How ya doin friend? Hope you’re on the dawn of something sweet, not a bitter end Hope ya got the dough so you can eat, and ya medicine You’re not alone, even tho its strange to comprehend Haven’t seen ya for a while Then we got all locked up I’m blessed that I’m a lucky one For you its maybe fucked up A heart that hangs so heavy when alone Needs a telephone to call me Appreciate the courage that you plucked up Know its hard We used to laugh so breezily Suddenly The time it passed so easily I’m holding out an olive branch and offer it so peacefully And promise that I’ll send you love through all the sacred frequencies Life will play upon your heartstrings And remind you of the true things Maybe its all time for us to learn the shape and size and pain of what its like to be inside the cage in which a bird sings All I’m tryin’ to say is if you feel alone you can always call me on your telephone All I’m tryin’ to say is if you feel alone you can always call me on your telephone Call me up Anytime just Call me Call me up x 2 Hey, whaddup How you feeling bud? Wish it was a little easier for you and me to hug Hope you gotta special someone next to you to keep ya snug And if you don’t, then it’s probably round the corner I love you, that’s someone that’ll never change Easy kinda thing to forget when it’s getting strange I wrote softly you can sip it like your coffee every morning The sun dawning as the seasons change It’s been a while, since we all got locked down I hope I make you smile, you frown like you been shot down A heart that feels lost when alone needs a telephone to call me I’m here to help you not drown Know it’s tough I used to always see ya It’s ok Remember that I need ya I’m sending all the vibes, I can muster to remind you that I trust ya I’m your number one cheerleader The way I feel about ya I struggle to find the words A better way to understand is simply listen to the birds You so unique and wonderful and wise and beautiful I understand the reason why I’ve never seen you follow any herds Your hands, strumming on the harp strings That’s the kinda peace, your presence to my heart brings Hope there’s something I can say to you that you remember your divinity my angel, thats the reason that you got wings All I’m trynna say is if you feel alone You can always call me on your telephone All I’m trynna say is if you feel alone You can always call me on your telephone Call me up Anytime just Call me Call me up
