ron monstera fundamentals by the garages Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I don't need a catcher
All I need are these two massive hands
To put you out to pasture
Plus, I can fistfight with your classist dad
I'll bring him to the rapture
I promise I'm usually a passive man
[Refrain]
They say that I'm a monster
I'm just a pitcher with some cool elastic pants
Will they ever let me be myself?
I wonder
As I wander
Around the south end of Seattle
[Verse 2]
I watch the light rail
Stop
But I never get on
Because I'm too tall
[Refrain]
I don't talk to
Cops
I just kick flip over their cars
Like my best friend Tony Hawk
As I dream
Of Blaseball
As I wander uptown to Belltown
[Chorus]
This is why I have the fundamentals
Even though the world is cruel
I can still pitch with the fundamentals
My arm's the perfect tool
[Post-Chorus]
They just say batter up
The catcher signals me
I never break a sweat
This pitch is destiny
And it's another strike
And then I just repeat
This is why I have the fundamentals
I'm a monster but I’m no fool
[Electronic Solo]
[Verse 3]
Every morning I wake up
Before I put on my monster makeup
I dream a little dream of you
Yeah you
The fan of the Seattle Garages
I know at first you were afraid, you were petrified
Wondering how you'd have a monster pitcher by your side
I hope after the past few seasons that you're pleasantly surprised because
[Refrain]
I know that I'm a monster
But I’m still an asset on this team
Can you just let me live?
I wonder
As I wander
Up through all of Gas Works Park
[Chorus]
This is why I have the fundamentals
Even though the world is cruel
I can still pitch with the fundamentals
My arm's the perfect tool
[Post-Chorus]
They just say batter up
The catcher signals me
I never break a sweat
This pitch is destiny
And it's another strike
And then I just repeat
This is why I have the fundamentals
I'm a monster but I'm no fool

[Chorus]
This is why I have the fundamentals
Even though the world is cruel

The catcher signals me

This pitch is destiny
And it's another strike
And then I just repeat
This is why I have the fundamentals
I'm a monster but I'm no fool
