Parquet Courts - Master Of My Craft Lyrics






I got a gold medal record time, gold record, diamond mine
Name in print, tongue, t-shirts and minds
Thread count - high
Commissions - high
Hourly rates - high
A minute of your time?
Forget about it

I didn't come here to dream or teach the world things,
Define paradigms, or curate no livin' days,
With high thread counts and staircases high.
Hourly rates - high
A minute of your time?
Forget about it

Thread count - high
Commissions - high
Hourly rates - high
A minute of your time?
Forget about it

People die I don't care, you should see the wall of ambivalence I'm building
I got no love for the living
Thread count - high
Commissions - high
Hourly rates - high
A minute of your time?
Forget about it

Death to all false profits around here we praise a dollar you fuckin' hippie
Wanna walk around in my shoes and then tell me how it feels
Thread count - high
Commissions - high
Hourly rates - high
A minute of your time?
Forget about it

From the hands of my mother, said I'm master of my craft

Thread count - high
Commissions - high
Hourly rates - high
A minute of your time?
Ya know Socrates died in the fuckin' gutter!

    anyone know what this song is about?

    m.... ....

    A little late...but I think Master of My Craft is the first person perspective of a rich person and how they don't care about anything because they are rich. This has actually been studied and they found the more mpney you have the more apethetic you are.

    m.... ....

    Like a lot of Parquet Courts songs, it's a cheeky critique of capitalism and neoliberalism: the meaninglessness of consumerism, profit-motive replacing human sympathy, and nihilistic feelings.

  29. T.... D....

    texas rodeo punk with the guise of new York city street poetry.  nice.  something different at least.

    Todd Downing Hickoids from Austin and Gun Club from LA
