[Lyric] Modern Day Medicis bonus hidden mystery tr (Too Much Joy)

Justin Beland had a lasting affair
With a lovely mustard and horseradish heir
Her name’s Taryn Gold and she likes our band too
He has the best answer when asked what ya do
He lobbies hard for amputees
Gets them protheses they need
I’m gonna go out on a limb
We need more people like him

Cam Patterson lives down in Arkansas
Each day he snatches life from death’s hungry jaw
Because he’s an expert cardiologist
We think all of you should be impressed by this
Has three kids making him proud
But he still likes his music loud
So here’s a song he can slam
With Celia, Anna and Graham

Oh, modern day Medicis
We humbly do beseech thee
Give all your money to us
Let the world know you are clever
Cuz art can last forever
While things are superfluous
Susan Blumenfield, guitar player’s mom
Should not have to pay us to be in a song
But we’re glad that she did so we can now shout
About all the ways she’s always helped out
Let Tim live with them long ago
Drove us to our early shows
Let us rehearse in her house
Has an equally helpful spouse

Jay Weatherman was an excellent friend
Whose life suddenly came to an untimely end
His buddy Mike said he should be in a song
So we’re including him here where he’s always belonged
We met in Boston one night
When some frat guys wanted to fight
We helped him stare them down
Boston’s a crazy town

Oh, modern day Medicis
We humbly do beseech thee
Give all your money to us
Let the world know you are clever
Cuz art can last forever
While things are superfluous

After driving forklifts for fifteen years
Sorn Skald felt compelled to a new career
In his late thirties went to nursing school
Now he provides critical care in the ICU
Remembers being young and scared
His karmic debt has been repaired
Tries to do the right thing
He’s earned some worshipping
Geoff Kreiling’s mix tapes once always contained
A song called “Crush Story” that still entertains
He made tapes like this for girls that he liked
He married the one who seemed the most psyched
Now they have two lovely kids
Who know nothing of what they once did
That’s just the way the world goes round
Geoff Kreilling is not a clown!

Oh, modern day Medicis
We humbly do beseech thee
Give all your money to us
Let the world know you are clever
Cuz art can last forever
While things are superfluous

Jesse Vincent was the pump king of Perl
This verse is a gift from his generous girl
Their company makes small computer keyboards
They deserve to win all of the awards
He’s got a great back of tricks
Like way back in ‘96
Helped us be ahead of the times
Released “Frustrated” online

Fraser “Slappy” Stowe is a drumming man
And “Falafel Boy” was the name of his band
He can flam-a-diddle across the kit
Eats from the box when he’s having Bisquick
It’s the claw when you try to shake
He’s had his share of heartbreak
Keep pecking at the seed bell
Hope Fraser Stowe’s getting well
Oh, modern day Medicis
We humbly do beseech thee
Give all your money to us
Let the world know you are clever
Cuz art can last forever
While things are superfluous

They know art is precious
They know art is good
They gave away their money
Like all rich people should
The history books shall state
That Justin Beland is great
The history books shall state
That Cam Patterson is great
The history books shall state
That Susan Blumenfield’s great
The history books shall state
That Jay Weatherman is great
The history books shall state
That Sorn Skald is great
The history books shall state
That Geoff Kreiling is great
The history books shall state
That Jesse Vincent’s great
The history books shall state
That Fraser Stowe is great
The history books shall state
That they’re great
The history books shall state
That they’re great
(repeat as needed)

Our song was finished, we thought it was great
One more big donation arrived a bit late
He said keep the money, we felt that was wrong
So we faded back up to put him in this song
Chip Turner deserves that much
Says he's grown up just enough
Comes from down in Tennessee
He's a modern day Medici
