about

"Write a song about eating disorders and how you feel inferior to other more attractive and ambitious women, but make it fun!" Joan told herself for some reason when she wrote 'Diet Rock'. This song was recorded in November 2023 at Stereobus Recording in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

lyrics

I can remember the time
I was in no right of mind
I would eat a half a meal each day
Pull up all of my nerves
To get you all up in here
Talking about a gun without a chain

Falling over yourselves
To take a look at a fate
That you will never conceive
Imaginate
That’s not even a word
I can’t even express
My poor body

Take it easy on me
I don’t mean anything

1, 2, 3, 4
I can remember the time
I was in no right of mind
I would eat a half a meal each day
I think I’m losing it hey
I think I’m losing it hey
I think I’m losing the powder in a keg
You just got what I wanted
But you know how to flaunt it
Just sign your name right here
I promise to keep

Keep it easy on you
I don’t mean anything
Take it easy on me
I don’t mean, I don’t mean, I don’t mean
Anything

I tell myself
You tell yourself
To perfectly fit in
I purge myself
To forge myself
Into where you now begin
I tell myself
You tell yourself
To perfectly fit in
I purge myself
To forge myself
Into where you now begin

Oh my god I think I did it again
Why can’t these teenage genes get the fuck right off me
Jesus Christ I’ll never do it again
Those three day fasts sure make a good looking zombie

Take it easy on me
I don’t mean anything
Take it easy on me
I don’t mean, I don’t mean, I don’t mean, I don’t mean, I don’t mean
Anything
