Hell Today 07:43
Verse Hell is gone That is to say it's been here all along But I'm through fooling with the bible bound What's the point in keeping two around Might is right Ain't never kept no one from starting fights Hey man, I can't see the TV The god of love loves money I'm sorry Chorus And in our top story tonight You can see the people concentrate Upon when their long gone away Losing all track of how to love How to hate Instead of doing they just pray it away And never congregate And in related news You can see the multitude of fools Naming the dirt under their shoes And letting in who they pick and who they choose Who gets help and who gets to lose out While they guard the food Roll it up in a dollar bill And that's hell today Verse Living down Here in the mulch where we are muffled out Where the federal residue's a leaking spout Leaving lipstick around baby's mouths Now they're grown Your local news will show you where they roam And oh how they laugh when you got no one home They will see what they want to own Don't wait around It's coming soon Don't have to look at your watch just to see that you got What everyone's trying to lose Stand in the rain with a sign you made And they will shut you down two by two While formulating a plot to get their grade one shot And now everyone should see what I mean Chorus Verse So we give up What do you see What could you want What do you believe And how can you sleep While your next of skin Lay in the street While you dig in Oh we must begin Again

Holding Down 05:13
Verse Now you've been fearful of fashion And broke like the joke Smitten with rations But nothing changes Nothing changes until it breaks If there are seeds enough to sow then why are there still empty bowls? Chorus If there's enough to go around Then ask yourself why you're barely holding down Verse You've been tucked and folded But so very weary of that which is on the next shelf The perfect soldier But there ain't no strangers Ain't no strangers sent to graves You know how we wheel and deal you saw it on the reel to reel Chorus If there's enough to go around Then ask yourself why you're barely holding down You know there's enough Because you've been throwing it away If there’s enough, why why why There are two insides to every cage Only a slave would keep a slave

Bullet 04:00
Sometimes you’re just like a bullet that’s been shot And doesn’t care where it ends Victim’s and friends, one begins where one ends To a bullet We wait in the back room, my bullet and me soon To go our own separate ways The doctor is worried ‘cause she’s in a hurry She’s got 7 more left to go today, uh huh The dream they had of their money Turned you into a nightmare You could have been most anything Except a bullet against your will But I love you still Don’t cry poor me poor you It’s alright now This song’s all about how we’re all of us victims From the bullet to the trigger to the hand To the warrior’s mind Look inside you’ll find There ain’t no difference between a bullet And the ones they leave behind Beside me on a cloth you’ve been laid The doctor is someone we trust But she could only save one of us And only bullets are left to rust

Outlaw 05:20
Been riding this here trail of longer days Since the moon and sun witnessed my get away Well a pearl of note for you to while Over some decrees there are no trials And I see your devil crack a smile Outlaw, they call me and outlaw But you know I only did what I had to do Outlaw, oh you know they had it coming Shouldn’t have done messed with what our momma grew Low I slipped from ship to town They shot my horse in ‘frisco and I swore a bloody vow But for a tit for a tat they have popped their caps Until some mother’s daughters and sons won’t write back And they buried all the cash where the whip won’t crack It’s a fool’s prize that will trick the rat’s to race From the moment we were born we have all been the same slave Oh I drag ya I drag ya (you drag me you drag me) Oh you drag me you drag me (I drag ya I drag ya) Now we drag out our dragons (drag out our dragons) Oh but they already had us (but we ain’t got no traction) Thinking the other one’s a bad one (but they already had us) Well a flower in dirt for the few I’ve hurt But they would play a game So they will take their turn Rolling bones where the mountain lifts her skirt
5.
The notes you left when you were a different man Contrast the news that I had lost a friend All good sailors know what’s on the traveling wind She is a witch And she will tie your feet to your wings She is, she is, she is a witch That she is And she says: “Lonely so lonely, not so boldly being the only See me blow thee down balony, Slowly stoning your folding control of the eroding cacophony” Oh so stewed are you, and consumed to be consoling Until you’ve grown bony And we all watch your host scream While she drags you ‘round like groceries She is a witch And she is boasting about ghosties She is, she is, she is a witch That she is All good sailors know How to go without Oh yes she’s so fine, Oh yes she’s all mine Oh yes she’s so fine Oh yes yes, she moves me she moves me You never had a chance, it blows my mind And now you’re lost to all who’d care to cry I tried so hard ,you know I really tried

Rained 04:24
Above this town there used to be a rainbow And on his fact the town folk would agree Even the food on the table would taste better Just knowing it was out there Even on the nights they couldn’t see And on this fact the town folk would agree Now the mayor of this town he was a strong man His complete faith in the town folk in his charge But even he believed it was the rainbow that helped them prosper Even on the nights the couldn’t see And on this fact the town folk would agree Just then the fool did something behind his own back Not intending to cause harm, But no understanding of how to turn back Like a runaway freight train lost in it’s own clickety clack He blew away the smoke and in the mirrors he put a crack Snipped the strings And the rainbow toppled onto it’s back The next days were very quiet ones indeed The whole town folk picking up broken rainbow at their feet
7.
If you want to know What makes us go Well look no further than the show 'Cause we want to blow we want to blow so… A starving mind's like a child in your heart Living large was enough but now we got no real part Leaving us no way out, no way in Just hanging out, running in place, chasing tin But I've got something else on my mind Something that will help me spend all my good times And I see what I want to find in your heart If we could fall in love Over and over and over again Oh running round We got all the time on roller skates Who'll get out and push when it's clear salvation won't be the way? But if you wanna try If you would like to try, I will try with you So, face to face at last but still a million miles away Did you ever notice how we wince at someone else's pain? Make someone grateful and in turn you become someone great If you wanna try Then we could fall in love Over and over and over again

Weedbush 05:48
It’s just a weed bush And that’s all it is I’m gonna grow up soon I’m gonna go to school Where you trade it in For what is left of the golden rule Soon I’ll fit a bigger bin And learn to march with a zombie’s grin Oh oh oh dragging your brain Straight along with the grain Of the coffin wood th keeps you sane It’s just a weed bush and that’s all it is I’m going to liberate Me and my mates To a better place Where they won’t have to have some hate straight in their face Oh don’t stone us down in the traitor’s gate It don’t matter where you were born If you allow suffering at all By your own hand or as you stall Then to me you are An expatriate It’s just a weed bush and that’s all it is I’m telling all you knuckleheads that’s really all it really is

JYS 07:11
What happened to the dreams you used to know Have they grown shorter Have you let them float away Into a place that isn't real Yes I missed my father He left before I was young But I still had my mother She taught me the words to this song But there you go again with that Good for nothing tit for tat Everyone knows where it's at Sing your song You can do that 'cause it's just your song And it won't take long Until you trip out 'cause it's just your song Yes I see the grass grow In single minded joy Well we can flow how it flows Steady on higher oh boy But there you go again with that God for nothing tit for tat Everyone knows where it's at Sing your song You can do that 'cause it's just your song And it won't take long Until you make it 'cause it's just your song We just want to sing our song to you Seemed like a good idea at the time to do Rolling and rocking The Almighty Get Down review We got something and you can have some too We're gonna sing it now Sing our song We're gonna sing it Our song, to you Steady on higher Oh boy
11.
Ain’t it funny how we say goodbye As if tomorrow was in our coats? And I’ll see you later Manwell You know I’ll do the best I can But all keep on getting old Ain’t nobody in the basement Ain’t nobody on the stairs It don’t matter where they went You only have to call and they’ll just be there ‘Cause it’s been bad today And they can make it all ok Ooh yeah up up and away An away Superfriends
