Left Brain, Right Brain

Hello, patient 24602
I’m sorry (Hello, how are)
How are you feeling?
Um, not great
Has the treatment been working?
Uh, I don’t think so, no
What are your remaining symptoms?
I just (I internalize my feelings a lot
I have trouble articulating how I’m feeling to other people
I feel like I just)
So basically you’re still a little bitch
Yes, very mature of you disembodied voice way up there
I was just joking, nigga
All right, you’re not as safe in Wisconsin as you might think with that shit
I’m not human I can say whatever I want
Okay, just let’s get to the point
What’s wrong with me, please? Please

Your emotions and your logic are at war
OK
Your creativity and your analysis are at war
And most simply, your left and right brain are at war
My left and my
To fix the problem we must separate them from each other
Sep
Splitting your neurological functions in 5, 4
(Can we book an appointment or something?)
3
(You just don’t start counting down to major medical procedures)
2, 1
This may hurt a bit
(I don’t even know what ‘it’ is)
0
(Just tell me what you’re-)
Isolation complete

This is Bo’s left brain: Objective, logical, cold, analytical
Aware of patterns, aware of trends, he’s efficient, and a prick
This is Bo’s right brain: Subjective, creative, sensory
Aware of feelings, aware of people, he’s emotional, and an idiot
(That’s your opinion – just careful with opinions)
Okay, boys, play nice

I am the left brain, I am the left brain
I work really hard ‘til my inevitable death brain
You got a job to do, you better do it right and the right way is with the left brain’s might

I like oreos and pussy yeah! (yes, in that order)
And I cried for at least an hour after watching Toy Story 3 (Woody!)
‘Cause I am the right brain, I have feelings
I’m a little all over the place but I’m lustful, trustful and I’m looking for somebody to love
Or put my penis in

Here comes a female, here comes a female
Puff your chest. I’ll take your phone out and check your email
Our evolutionary purpose is repopulate
So gather data now and see if she’s a possible mate

Holy fuck I think she might be the one, there’s something about her, I just can’t describe it
Tits
I am the earth, she is the glorious sun
I want her to trust me and I just want her to—how do I say this—sit on my face!
(Sit! Sit on my face!)

Alright now, right brain, you’re being insane
No, left brain, I’m just being alive
You should try it, you might like it

I worked hard to give him everything he cared about
You were worried about the things that he was scared about
I’m calm and collected when you act wild
I am the adult, you are the child

You think you’re the right one every time
You think you know everything but you don’t know anything at all
Half of his problems were supposed to be mine
But you wanted everything
I hope that you’re happy ‘cause he’s sure not

Well, according to my calculations, I’m sorry, let me run the numbers again, um, you’re a pussy

Name calling? Really? You’re gonna just do name calling?

I’m not calling names alright, I’m just stating facts and the fact is you’re a quivering pussy

I’m the pussy? Well, at least I don’t play with toys still, OK

Rubik’s cubes are not toys, they keep my spacial reasoning skills… Sharp

Left brain plays with toys!
Look at you, Mr… You’re a toy player

Well, at least I did my fucking job, alright. I kept him working, I kept him productive
You were supposed to look after him
You were supposed to keep him emotionally stable through all this
Now you’re trying to blame me for how he’s feeling, how he’s feeling!
If he’s feeling unhappy it’s because you failed him
You did this to him, he hates you I know he does, he fucking hates you!

Right brain, look, I’m sorry, okay?

No, you’re not

Look, maybe there’s something that we could do together

Together?

Take the best parts of both of us and put them together

I’m listening

It would let you let your feelings out, it would let me analyze

So you could man the themes; I’ll man the form
It’s something that George Carlin did, it’s something that Steve Martin did
It’s something special that we could both perform
Do you know what it is?

Juggling, we could juggle, and juggle our cares away!

It was, it was comedy, you, fuck it, we could do comedy together

(Initiate reassembly)

All right, right brain, we’re gonna do comedy together, we gotta do comedy together

All right, left brain, I’ll do comedy with you

Look, we can fix him like this—we can make him happy again. I promise, all right?

(5, 4, 3)

Left brain, left brain, I love you
