Miss You All
02:23
|
|||
I promise that I will remember you well, now that you're gone
and I promise that I will write you too, and write you a song
to sing along your way, to send you on your way
well I never could get a message through, to you in the great beyond
well there's nothing more that I could do, but try to move on
but I'm lost along the way, and I just can't say that I'm ok
because I miss you all today, yes I miss you all today
now may all souls be at peace, we will remember each
now may all souls be at peace, we will remember each
and I promise that I will remember you well, now that you're gone

Burn & Turn
01:27
|
|||
Burn, we're gonna burn it down, and turn, turn it around
from everywhere, people are arising
for we all agree, that the current affair's a misery
soon the truth will be arivin'
change is on it's way, no need to hope no need to pray
together we will find a way
to save our home, this planet is all our home
and it's the only one we've got
the true war, is for survival, the only one that needs to be fought
to save our home
burn, burn the system down, and turn, turn the ship around,
the ordinary people are arising

Ordinary Guy
02:36
|
|||
I'm just an ordinary guy, sitting in my basement getting high
writing bout' the apocalypse, and makin' fun of racist hicks
o-oh-ho Donald, your haircut isn't foolin' anyone
worst president under the sun, watching the world burn, little Nero!
O-oh the other one, you are the lesser(evil)
I guess you got my blessing sir(after you win please drop dead, thank you!)
Evolution is the only way, to survive
capitalism's gonna have to die
Revolution is the American way(or so they say!)
it's time to make these mother frackers pay(their fair share of taxes)
and we'll do it today, and we'll do it today, today, today
I'm just an ordinary guy, sitting on my front porch gettin' high
and I know these cops are murderers
what the hell are you defending em' for(fer)
how many more good people have to die?
before some of these racist fuckers fry?
and how much more of this are we gonna stand
before we rise as one and issue our demands
we are the 99, and we won't stay in line
we are the 99, and we know you're lying!
we're just ordinary guys... (and lady guys)

Awaitin' Armageddon
02:29
|
|||
Here we all are, awaitin' Armageddon
gonna be a good show, don'tchya wanna know, how it all ends, my friends
Here we all are, awaitin' Armageddon
flyin' on a ball of dirt, around a giant ball of fire in a sea of giant balls of fire swirlin' round a black hole
Here we all are, awaitin' Armageddon
& while we're waitin' hesitatin', we probably still have time to get our shit together but we probably won't cause we'll just keep partying n' throwin' our party cups in the river to fill the ocean with plastic
Here we all are, awaitin' Armageddon
drivin' so fast we'll probably crash into another planet & wind up on our ass with a big ole' hospital bill cause it's a third world planet where the rich don't pay their taxes
Here we all are, awaitin' Armageddon
fightin' over all a' tha same stupid shit we've been fightin' bout' for thousands of years, well isn't it clear? that nobody's got all the answers & we should all just give each other a break, and also give ourselves one too
Here we all are, awaitin' Armageddon
and all the animals already know that Armageddon's already here and it's name is man, or woman, or human bein', and they prolly think we're all pretty mean, so let's go green
Here we all are, awaitin' Armageddon
gonna be a good show dont'chya wanna know how it all ends my friends
can I say no?

67 West Abando
01:51
|
|||
We thought 67 West Abando, could be the promised land
we had all we could handle, more than we could stand
when somebody said, I know a place just down the road
where the rent is free
and the landlord is a son of a gun, who looks just like me
don't you mess with my radio, keep off the grass, live life slow
We drove that 67 Westabando as far as we could
till it broke down in a rusty dusty, slightly charred neighborhood
in a half abandoned city, that we love so well
and if you've got a moment or two, I'd like to tell you
stay true to your word and mean what you say
if you're a liar or a thief, you'd better pray(we don't burn you out too)
We thought 67 West Abando, could be the promised land

My Friend O
02:59
|
|||
this is the story of my friend-o
grew up a little while agoÂ
in the town of fargo
we're gonna have to get back to that doe
cause now it's time for ddot to interrupt this flow
yes thanks joe I'm ddot, I grew up next doe
went to the school of hard knocks y'know
many tried to fight me
many didn't like me
all I got to say to that is what's up bite me
cause I'm not a blood I'm not a crip
now light that fire weed & let it rip
but that fireweed thing is a whole nother rap
please don't you distract me fore your hand ima slap
cause we're not talking about those earth truckas
allow me to concentrate on another rakemuckaÂ
fast forward a decade or maybe two,Â
when a trippy wierdo happened on this crewÂ
he looked kinda white but he was really blue
wasn't quite as tough but had been through some shit too
Oh I bet you thought I was talkin' bout shane,Â
there you go distracting me again
no I'm talkin' bout that quaker up down from fargo
that shane cat was somethin' else he came from a star tho
nah this cat owen he wouldn't shut up
I honestly tried to tell him what was what
Finally had to slap him around but he wouldn't fight backÂ
kinda turned it around
made me look like I was one who was wrong, when it really was him all along
cause I swear he's queer as a three dollar bill
but you can't teach him cause he won't sit still
and slapping him doesn't do much either, send him to the corner and he'll just distract
all the other weirdos who find your lesson boring
and would otherwise be snoringÂ
but anyway where was I back to the story
oh wait there isn't one I'm terribly sorry
this cat didn't do much just sat around, walked his dogÂ
occasionally sang a song
they say he used to be pretty good at art
I aint seen much of that tho I call him art fart
a bit like another cat some folks call byron
hello yes I'm byron don't catch me rhymin
cause Im another crazy cracker truth sayerÂ
if I lived in detroit I'd say vote for me for mayorÂ
cause these crooked politicians who got you hooked on hopes & dreams
really wanna wrap you up in another ponzi scheme
but lemme pass it back to the first guy tho
I think I heard ddot call him joe
yes I am joe and I'm here on the scene,Â
actually I got an L in there, those guys are kinda meanÂ
or maybe they just didn't hear me
we're all going deaf listen' to trump & hillaryÂ
i think we started off bout Owen doe
I'd pass it back to him but he's not talkin' anymoe
& that puts me in an awkward spot,Â
but I'll leave you with a thing or two that I just thought
all this yelling is quite insane
all this fighting hurts my brain
if we could all just get along,Â
it would make for a much better songÂ
let's sing sing sing sing, forget that cat from fargo, still see him at the bar tho
sing sing sing sing
breath, live & see what, tomorrow bringsÂ

Mild Chill
01:40
|
|||
Shielded from the mild chill
hands plunge into deep pockets
old books and old films
my mind goes through them and I weep
I done took the black pill
and I know there's no innocent
there'll be no hope heaven sent
nobody's president, ahooooo
if you wanna walk with me
if you wanna talk with me
keep your distance please
keep your distance please
shielded from the mild chill

He's My Man
01:55
|
|||
He's hi-i-i-i-i-i-igh as a kite, and he's my man!
and he could never win a fight, but he's still my man
why won't anybody understand, he's my man he's my man he's my man
well he gets by-i-i-i-i-i-y alright, not a wealthy man
he probably won't buy your flight, to no foreign land
but I know he's doing the best he can
he's my man he's my man he's my man he's my man he's my man
I know he's the one for me, gives me something to believe in
I know you may not agree, but I really think he needs me
He's hi-i-i-i-i-i-igh as a kite, and he's my man!

Henceforth Be Real
01:32
|
|||
Henceforth be real, tell me how you feel
what is your deal, keep it real keep it real
henceforth tell no lies, are you some kinda spy
save it for another guy, or I'm sayin' byebye
henceforth I don't want no bullshit,
I really can't stand it,
gonna make me have a fit, get me mad enough to spit, I'm over it
Tell only the truth, lies will make you, sigh and cry
when I say goodbye to you
Henceforth be real

Sweet Kitty Kitty
01:37
|
|||
Lull me out of sleep, so soft & sweet
Lull me out of sleep, sweet kitty kitty
Into the waking war, into the working nightmare
For the world to win, I need my kitty friend
for the war within, I need my kitty friend
everyone should have a furry friend, they'll be with you in the end

All I know
01:56
|
|||
There's a murderer inside my head and every day he wants me dead
and there's a nurse and a doctor too, struggling to heal my wounds
and two lawyers arguing, one a joker one a king
and something above it all, that I don't know what to call
I've been up and I've been down, while this ole' world turns around
I don't know much truth be told, but my spirit it is bold
all that I know, is that I don't know, nothing, nothing
that aint been known before
all I can say, is that I can't say, nothing nothing
that aint been said before

Not Alone
02:06
|
|||
Sometimes I'm so confused, need someone to set me straight
I've got a lot to lose, I hope it's not to late for me
everything is upside down, whole world needs to turn around
situation's got me down, keep listening for the sound
of the spirit talking to me, ghosts tryna move me
devil tryina fool me, god tryna school me
and I try to remember that i'm not alone!
and this whole world is my home, for now
and I can always keep growing, till I'm just a box of bones

Sometimes Your Best
03:37
|
|||
Sometimes your best, just ain't good enough
chained to your own mediocrity
sometimes your best, just ain't good enough
and you don't find yourself such pleasant company
sometimes your best, just ain't good enough
all you can do is wait and see
some say the lord, some say the lady
have pity spare me from my misery
I can sing you a song, try to keep you entertained
I can sculpt you a little gnome to remind you of me when I'm gone
but if you think that I'm not worthy, don't look for me I'll be long gone
(yes I realize I rhymed gone with gone... & I literally JUST realized I could have rhymed it with "I'll be movin' on" lol... whaddayagonnado)
cause sometimes your best, just ain't good enough
sometimes your just not worthy
so pretty young lord, handsome young lady
drop a coin in my cup, I'll keep myself company
& maybe they just didn't love me
maybe I'm a shitty human being
if it'll save any time I'll just plead guilty
but if you want the truth just wait and see
it takes a long time but it's worth the wait
it takes a long time some wait for years
it takes a long time some say forever
cause we all serve on god's jury
and sometimes your best just ain't good enough
and your guitar playing's bad beyond belief
sometimes your best, just ain't good enough
sometimes your just not worthy

The NSA's a shitty record label, they never paid me my royalties
the NSA's a shitty record label, I'm still waitin' on my release
God's record label is much better, I get paid my royalties every time I get into heaven, every damn time, oh shit I said damn oh god damn I said it again, I'm sorry Jesus!
I'm an ordained minister! Haha no you're not dude, no you're not
Remember Abraham in the bible, Jesus was his name, Elijah
Now go back to sunny England, you white trash piece of shit!

Weathered Many Storms
02:29
|
|||
well I've weathered many storms, long before you were born
I've sailed the seven seas, and I've seen my seven souls
I've been a monster too, like the one that lives inside of you
no one can be an angel all the time
don't ask me what you should do, it's up to you I don't have a clue
but I believe that you will find your own way
and I know you'll make it through, all your little storms too
life will polish all your rough edges some day
well I've been to the top, of the rocky outcrops
and all the lowest valleys of my mind
I've wandered through the deserts, of loneliness and pain
and drunk the healing waters of time
Listened to the song of the birds, seen things I can't put in words
felt the spirits flow, inside of me
wandered so near and far, wished upon many stars
that I could grow to be rooted like a tree
well I weathered many storms, I'm weary and I'm worn
when it comes the day for me to pass away
I hope you take some comfort in my song
I know you'll make it through, all your little storms too
life will polish all your rough edges some day

I've been alert and punctual, got to work nearly on time
follow that man, he knows the way
I've been alert and punctual, and I've got a box of clay
it's gonna be ok, everyone's a little gay
I've been alert and punctual, I've been alert and punctual!
I've been alert and punctual, I've been alert and punctual!
