“VALUABLES”

You, don’t know, how you got here, or how you drove. And I, can’t decide, where to misplace all my valuables. Breath, deep please…It makes you feel almost invincible. Let’s carve, sculpture life, squeegee third eye, William Hicks was right.

Consumer culture starts to spread, up your back, up to your head, “lock me up and throw away the key”, he said. “I’ve had enough”, is what you said.

Please, don’t go, take some time, and contemplate your woes. It’s cold, down this road…windy path, deep in the moonlit snow. And cry, it’s ok…Things just seem, to work out this way. Re-born anew, your lease on life, has just been renewed.

No contact, no telephone call, hows it feel to feel so small, “Break me out of here, I’ve had enough”, you said. And “I’ve had enough, I’ve had enough…I’ve had enough…I’ve had enough…I’ve had enough…” is what you said.

Uno, dose, uno, dose, trace, quatro!

No contact, no telephone call, hows it feel to feel so small, “Break me out of here, I’ve had enough”, you said. And “I’ve had enough, I’ve had enough, I’ve had enough, and I’ve had enough. The trouble leads to anger, the anger starts to spread, lock him up and throw away the key”, they said

I’ve had enough…I’ve had enough… I’ve had enough…I’ve had enough…” is what you said.

“BAILOUT”

END THE FED. The great bailout…coming to a lobby near you.

Bailout all the criminals, bailout all the thieves, bailout all the CEO’s, bailout their companies.

But what ever happened to the working class, of America…of America? Where is the bailout for the working class, of America…of America? Do…you…know?

Tax cuts for the filthy rich, tax raids on the poor… Taxing all the interest rates, the tax funds the war.

But the income tax, never ratified, and some people say, that “there is no law”. When will the people start to realize, what you’re taught in school, may not actually be true… Do…you…know?

Are you OK? Is this too much for you? Wash your hands with soap and lies, watch the TV as they dry… Am I OK? I don’t think so… Wash my hands with soap and lies, filthy habits, tyrannize…uh oh.

Troops standing on the city corner, troops marching in the streets… Troops knocking on your bedroom window, you’ve got company!

When Martial Law, comes to a town near you, whatcha gonna do, when they come for you? When will the people start to realize, that what you’re taught in school, may not actually be true? Do…you…know?

Are you OK? Is this too much for you? Wash your hands with soap and lies, watch the TV as they dry… Am I OK? I don’t think so… Wash my hands with soap and lies, filthy habits, tyrannize. Are you OK? Is this too much for you? Wash your hands with soap and lies, watch the TV as they dry… Am I OK? I don’t think so… Wash my hands with soap and lies, filthy habits, tyrannize…uh oh…

“TELL ME IT’S THE END”

The last I heard, you were a friend of mine. Never knew a friend, who never took the time. Life seems so clear, after all these years. About time it got easier, I was gonna cut in line.

Melting ice… Burning tires… Sidewalk cracking… Gunman for hire… I…am…alone with sorrow in my head. Wake me up, and tell me it’s the end…

“The end is near”, that’s what the TV said. Voices talk to me like I’m the living dead. Life can be cold, it’s a dark basement. You better find the light before you get too old.

Melting ice… Burning tires… Sidewalk cracking… Gunman for hire… I…am…alone with sorrow in my head. Wake me up, and tell me it’s the end…

Rise up! Or you will never make it through the obstacle that’s standing in your way. Time’s up, clock is ticking, ticking, ticking, making funny noises every time you look at it. Buy another thing…to make you happy in the meantime. Buy another thing…to make you happy in the meantime…

Melting ice… Burning tires… Sidewalk cracking… Gunman for hire… I…am…alone with sorrow in my head. Wake me up, and tell me it’s the end…

“GIMME, GIMME, GIMME”

Gimme a break, from all, the anger we have built up in our hearts. I know, what to say to make you feel right at home. With me, we’ll watch a rising beauty from afar. Come on, hold my hand as I fall apart.

I’m driving sober, coming over, to take you out on a midnight drive. I’m feeling sleepy, take the wheel please, I wonder if there is life beyond the stars.

G-G-G-Gimme a light, to see, through all the darkness that seems to follow me. Maybe, the sun will rise up just beyond the trees. we’ll see, discover what makes you and him and me. Fading, your memory will let you down one day.

It’s not that hard to be polite. It’s not that easy, to be free. What makes you feel the way you do? What makes you feel the way you do? You do…you do…

Gimme a nod, a wave, a simple handshake just to start the day. Behave, be on your best behavior to get save. Amazed, You’ve trapped yourself inside this endless maze. Which way? Is the path we should travel to get out?

I’m driving sober, coming over, to take you out on a midnight drive. I’m feeling sleepy, take the wheel please, I wonder if there is life beyond the stars.

“YOUR FIRST DRUG”

Grassroots… Common people come together from all over, just so they can fight a common cause. Take that… I wonder what the corporate media is thinking, sitting high up on the penthouse floor. Pull out… Bring every single soldier who is stationed, in another country home right now. Rewind… Did I just say something that you’ve been thinking, since the war began so long ago?

Drug war… People locked up by a system when the system makes the drugs that they are locked up for. Import… The CIA flies in cocaine and then they fly back just so they can get a little more. Withdrawal… Pharmaceutic color coded pills with parasitic cartoons in the ads they show. Force feed… Insert the happy little pill into the mouth of your own child, every morning they wake up.

This time, we mean business. How many voices did it take? Look inside your heart… Tell me what do you see… Remember when we were young… Remember when you tried, your first drug?

Inside… Terror brought to you be people living secretly inside your home, what will you do? What’s that? Did you really think that nine eleven was the way the media told us it was? Reload… Prepare to stand up on your feet and tell the government that they will never own you. Slave ship… Sinking to the bottom, of the ocean, full of all the people you elected to control.

This time, we mean business. How many voices did it take? Look inside your heart… Tell me what do you see… Remember when we were young… Remember when you tried, your first drug?

“TROUBLE LURKS AHEAD”

Relax, you’re home. This is, no joke. Resist, secrets. And you’ll breed, mischief.

Trouble lurks ahead…

Employed, upset, confused and chronically depressed… Spun out, out of town, look out I’m sometimes dangerous.

Deciding, everyone around you’s hiding, should they have some information, who controls my education? Expecting, anything you say to give yourself, high expectations, high cancer patients.

Take two steps forward, you’re gonna make it…

“ABOUT YOU”

We should talk about this, would you really leave me high and dry? A quarter box of matches, burn a hole to summon dragon flies.

It’s just another thing that I do, that I get what I want, never looking back at you, Your heart is shattered, and I don’t seem to care, ’cause you’re unaware, of how I really feel, about you.

Snowflakes on my windshield, Camel number nines, in the winter time. Suddenly attracted, I think about you, all the fucking time.

I won’t let you get away,from me because there’s no one else for me to see anyway, I only really care about you.

6am crept up on us, crazy how the time can go by so fast. My brain is feeling heavy, my eyes are swollen shut from all the teary nights.

It’s just another song about love, about how people feel, and how we make each other nuts Your heart is shattered, and I don’t seem to care, ’cause you’re unaware, of how I really feel about you.

If the things you say are true. If it makes me loose my cool. Tell me what I want to hear. I don’t know, I can’t hear clear.

If there’s one thing that I know. It’s to look where no one goes. A dark figure in the night. I don’t know, I can’t see right.

Well, it;’s almost time. To make an offer, you can’t refuse, so why not loose, that attitude?
