I'm sorry that I bothered you, what a bloody nuisance
and I'm sorry that I puked in your shoe, such a bloody nuisance
and I burned all your letters, and I broke all your records
drank all your wine, wasted all your precious time
I'm sorry that I bothered you, what a bloody nuisance

The End of a Dream
01:41
|
|||
Wilted flowers on your grave
pretty soon they're gonna pave your house and make a parking lot
they're tearing the factory down
empty bottles on the bar
and they're gonna scrap your car and make shopping carts
our town's gonna be a wall mart
and tho it may seem, like the end of a dream
remember your dream, was somebody else's nightmare
now here's what I mean, it's all a ponzi scheme
and we're all pawns, of a corporate state, that we should all hate
Wilted flowers on your grave
pretty soon they're gonna pave your house and make a parking lot
our town's gonna be a wall mart

Hey Mr. Caterpillar
You're the go-getter, the upsetter, the famous Mr. Caterpillar
Time is coming real soon for you to bust out of your cacoon
spread your wings and fly away

don't want to say bye, cause we really like, you Mr. Butterfly, you're such a nice guy
Hey Mr. Caterpillar

Crazy World(To Be Alone)
01:23
|
|||
There was a lady, thought she was crazy
out here in this world alone
I said hey baby, that don't phase me
aint no reason we can't grow
you're not out here on your own, you're not crazy all alone
there was a man, had a plan, to take over the whole world
I said your crazy, and you scare me
won't you leave my world alone
won't you leave my world alone, you must be crazy, out your bone

We're tape tornado and the rock and roll disasters
rocking off a cliff couldn't burn out any faster
We're tape tornado and the rock and roll disasters
rocking inferno couldn't burn out any faster
all I want to do, is take all your shoes
and throw them into a volcano, why I don't know!
Cause I'm tape tornado and the rock and roll disasters
rocking inferno couldn't burn out any faster
it was 1983, down in Albuquerque, when a tornado hit the tape factory
I was on my way to school, gee I thought this is really cool
tapes raining down round my subdivision
that really got my 9 year old attention
when I grow up I wanna be, a piece of musical disaster history
cause I'm tape tornado and the rock and roll disasters
rocking off a cliff couldn't burn out any faster
We're tape tornado and the rock and roll disasters
rocking inferno couldn't burn out any faster

We think you are really something, you've got something going on
you've got our little hearts a thumpin', so we wrote you a little song
Evangeline, Evangeline, you're every schoolboy's dream
Evangeline, Evangeline, we wanna make you queen!
We think you are really cool, so pretty that you make us drool
and tho you sometimes play the fool, you're the coolest girl in our school
Evangeline, Evangeline, you're every schoolboy's dream
Evangeline, Evangeline, we wanna make you queen!

The Light
01:53
|

All I want is to feel, I'm feelin' I'm feelin'
all I'm interested in is healing, I'm healing I'm healing
be careful what you're dealin' in, there's more to life than just to win
let the light shine in, true wisdom is your best friend
tho the road is rough and rocky, and it's winding on and on
don't let the fear stop you, cause you know it won't be long
till you reach the mountain within, scale the heights of self actualization
All I want is to feel, I'm feelin' I'm feelin'
all I'm interested in is healing, I'm healing I'm healing
be careful what you're dealin' in, there's more to life than just to win
let the light shine in,

Make it Better
01:58
|
|||
breaking your back to make it better, you're only tightening your fetters
say you gotta be a go getter, straighten up fly right
don't ruffle any feathers
but is this really true, can it be inside of you
is this disease on the inside or the out
can you cure these blues with a new pair of shoes
stuffing 100 dollar bills in your mouth
is this the story that we wanna tell ourselves?
your only worth what you can sell
and you're building your own personal hell
when you should be trying to get well
breaking your back to make it better,

Be Happy You Are Free
02:39
|
|||
Untidy Satanic and Amoral, Merchants of death rule the world
they don't care about you and me, or the rest of humanity
to them we're just some holes to fuck, bodies to build their stuff
they see only money, they tell only lies
and those who try to fight them are cut down as they rise
Ugly Stupid Arrogant, in suit and tie a respectable gent
but look closely under those manicured nails
there's blood and guts and entrails
Blood of innocents our hands, we're living in the devil's land
in our blindness we call him god, bad is good how very odd
religion tv and schools will mold you into vapid tools
and there's no way to avoid the game, everyone ends up the same
UnderStand this Amnesia, and think about it at your leisure
to subvert it you can try but revolt outright and you may die
we are part of a killing machine, that crushes life and calls it a dream
and tells us we are free, unlike those heathens crushed underneath
be happy you are free, be happy you are free,
don't think to much about it
be happy you are free, be happy you are free
you don't wanna know how the sausage is made
be happy you are free, be happy you are free,
don't think to much about it
be happy you are free, be happy you are free
don't examine the nightmare under the dream, don't look at the nightmare under the dream

Chopsticks Move
01:47
|
|||
chopsticks move against each other to pick up the food
put it in your mouth and your teeth move, against each other to chew
opposing forces shape events in the material sphere
it takes two to tango, to lines form an angle, that much is clear
so why can't I seem to, get along with you
and why can't you ever seem to, see my point of view
aint no reason why a reasoned debate can't improve our state
why are we so mad, it makes me so sad, can't we relate
to each other, and work it out, between each other, work it out,
let's find something we agree on, let's be agreeable
chopsticks move against each other to pick up the food

Wish I was a Dream
01:23
|
|||
Painting pretty pictures in my head, singing little songs to myself
wish that I could be a dream instead
of waking to the nightmare of being a human being
wish I was an animal instead, bird to fly the skies fish to swim the sea
oh what a peaceful way to be, dreaming little animal dreams
wish that I was a dream instead

The captain went down with the ship, sad but that's the way he wanted it
the crew, most of them survived
some were badly burned but at least they were alive
now his ship is sailing in, to that last safe harbor in the sky
and god's own admiral waits for him, bearing commands from on high
now the captain sails the spirit sea
between where god lives, and you and me
with orders to spread harmony, do you believe? do you believe
have you seen the light have you seen the light
have you seen the light have you seen the light
shining out in the darkness, darkness darkness, darkness all around us
darkness darkness, have you seen the light
coming for to guide you home
the captain went down with the ship, sad but that's the way he wanted it

Where is mamma, where is Mimi, where's aunt Lulu, it's time to feed me
there's something a littlebit wrong with you, and there's nothing I can do
so let me be
these shoes are to long, this suit don't fit me, I am a 51, it is a 53
it's just a little bit to big, and I'm wearing an orange wig, so sue me
