" Work Sucks "


Lately, baybe i feel so strangely
I'm just sitting around
I just did this yesterday, when I came in late
I'm just sitting around
All I want is a little peace and quiet
While i'm sitting around

Work sucks, yes it does
I wish that I never came
I should have stayed in bed where I was watching the game
Why do you work so hard when we could go for a beer
A hundred thousand places are much better than here
My imagination is the answer I found
So i'm just sitting around

I got your attention and i'm on a role now
I realy realy realy got to go now
I'm just sitting around
I got a new attitude
The minimum wage is all i got to do
I'm gonna go and do my business
All i'm saying is I got to rest cause
I'm just sitting around
All I realy want is a little peace and quiet
While i'm sitting around

Now this is the time when we got to break down
Everybody stop and put your tools down
The land of the brave and the home of the free
Was founded on the backs of men and women like you and me
So get up, stand up
Tell them how you bust your back
And take another look at who elected them to counteract
The fascist enterprise
Where money is the bottom line
How many times do they have to make a profit while the people die

" Little Bit Of Heaven "


Let's have just a little more peace of mind
Let's try just a little more thought inside
You don't realy want to talk to me
How long until we're free

Where do you go again tonight
Where are the songs that heal your mind
Where is the solace that you seek
Just a little bit of heaven here inside of me

This time we're gonna get one thing right
This time we're never gonna stop this fight
You don't realy want to hear me talk
this conversation stopped

My, how does it happen
You don't see me in the open
Open your eyes
You will never know this
You can't can't control this
I just don't realize

" Hyperventilation "


Even I can't erase all my imagination
But I wasted all I
oh oh oh oh
And I try to believe in this simplification
To be ther when I arive
At my destination

Feels like i'v been wasting just a bit more time
When we say oh oh oh oh oh
What if i never loved you
I tried, but i could never be the one to say
when we say oh oh oh oh oh
I could never leave that way

You could see my elated disorganization
We were so on fire
oh oh oh oh
You make me feel like i'm nearing hyperventilation
when you call me a liar
or is it my
Imagination

bfff a boom baga baga beeba dooba dee
doom dumba dinga diddle diddle diddle dooba whop
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh arggggghhh

" Yeah Yeah Yeah "


There aint no time to try like we used to
Oh no no no
We play that same old song like we always do
Oh back in the day
Is it not too late if we try so hard
We all know that it never works out that way

Yeah Yeah Yeah
can we forget it all and go to hell
Yeah Yeah Yeah
I tried a thousand times but i couldn't tell
Yeah Yeah Yeah
go and cry cause it never realy mattered anyways
Yeah Yeah Yeah
too late your time is up

You got to deal with your disapointment
you're gonna find out soon that you can't wake up
you got no hesitation
but pretty soon
you will be lying in bed like you always do

Too late there aint no time to be someone
still i don't ever seem to have the very best fortune
do you ever. no no no. you never understand
nobody looks at me and says to be the "fall man"
doctor doctor doctor can you tell me
can you do you're very best to heal me
can you please prescribe to me something
can you use you're eyes to be loving
nobody nobody nobody loves anyone
and i'm sick of hearing this fact about my life about my soul
about my black and cankerous hole
no more. no i don't care
no i don't realy love this life at all
please hang me on a wall
and use me as an example and example
to tell people that life is full
of love and happiness
bullshit
there's gotta be more to life than this

"Little Boy"


I'm the one who gets to break the fairy tale
just knock the house down and take out every nail
there's a break down happening a fire and a reckoning
inevitable wreckingball the mechanism beckoning
the sky's alive and so i am inside
there's no way to reckognize the way it is tonight
I'm sick of it and i'm breaking up all the thoughts i have incurred
all of the little pieces of the illusion that i heard
i realize that you might get dissapointed

Make it stop
little boy
do you not hear me now
you will learn this lesson when you're older
when it's not what you thought
and you pray, dear god
I did not know hell was getting colder
now

I look up to the sky and listen for the flies
and contemplate a happy life when you are so inclined
nobody's having a better time when somebody's telling a lie
sometimes
so ask me why
I can't believe in a single word that's said in the news today
the preachers preach and seem to think
that nobody has to fall or sink
or drink the drink that makes you think
of all of the things that make you wonder

I know the pieces fit so clearly sometimes
and I
I just about got blinded
with a swing in my step and a noose around my neck
i'm surprised
cause i don't mind it

"Shine Down"

 
We weren't aware
of the darkness there
there was just no way for us to know
we did not live this life no
now i see you here below

All the broken words and all the people in this world that hurt
all the summertimes that used to make us feel alive
i won't go away with you
i will not do what i should do
i will not go where i should go
it's better for you if you don't know

I know you are better off to live so far away where i don't know you
and i cannot come to see you
no

Wake up starlight
i do not feel right
high up in the sky
shine down and make us bright

It wasn't fair it wasn't fair
for me to know
for me to eat on the table of kings
and live diamond dreams
and drive silver cars and ignore the screams

So live every day today and please remember
this could be the last day you will ever see
we go to the stars and meet
shine shine on the people
shine shine on the people
shine shine on the people
on the people on the people
shine shine on the people
shine shine on the people
shine shine on the people
on the people on the people

"God"

Do you hear me crying
For you in the night
Can you feel me dying in my heart
This sickness multiplying
Into my wildest dreams
Wasted here and lying in the dark

When I say
God
Why do you make me do
Those horrible things to you
And why do you not believe me when I call out
I'm lost and there's no hope now

Do you now deny me
I see you in my dreams
My fortunes here are crumbling to a halt
I realize i'm lying
I understand my need
Of paying restitution for my faults

But i have never ever noticed you
And i have never ever cared

"My Nightmare"

Do you embrace this
Will you stop and face this
Good afternoon this only will improve
My alibi is never cut and dried
And i can't remember this cold dark december
 
My pleasure is gone

But by and by
My will to live is strong
And nothing ever stopped me from
Commiting the wrong
My own heart can tell me why
I never ever stopped to end this dying inside
I faced you and now my nightmare is my life

Here is my present state of mind
It isn't much to scream about
Inside i'm full of doubt
Can this congregation stand up to the nation
And rocket me up to the stratosphere
I can't hear
Everyone's gone
