Well it stumbles and it falls off of almost every tongue
Give a listen and you'll hear
It's workin' like a landmine in almost every sentence
It's an assault to my mind's ear
Yeah it might have started back with Jack Kerouac
Probably more than likely it was Maynard G. Krebs
It's the 4 letter word that used to mean 'as if'
And the meaning's covered in cobwebs
Cobwebs
Used to be a preposition then it was a conjunction
Now it's used as an audible pause
Oh I hate it when I hear it especially when I see it
Gotta stamp it out there ought to be some laws
College boys valley girls mall rats grandmammas
Everybody's mis-usin' that word
I heard it four times in one poor little sentence
It was the saddest sound I ever have heard
Cobwebs x3
I suppose you could blame it on my generation
Chickens from the 60s finally comin' into roost
I've been sayin' it myself for over 30 years now
Just to give my cool quota just a little bitty kind of a boost
