Stayin' busy keepin' my mind occupied
Putting one foot in front of the other
Taking life stride by stride
You can run but you can't hide
There's no masking what's inside
Deal with your problems, deal with 'em now
Some way, somehow
Don't throw the towel in yet
I'm broken down, I'm battered and bruised
there's no way I'm gonna let myself lose
I'm out lookin for bliss
but you're not helping, goddam, loneliness...
You got somethin' good, then it's gone

More meat on the barbe-cue
Nobody stoppin', stoppin' you
Not e-du-ca-ted enough
To know how important education is
So go ahead spread your wings
I know you're gonna do your thing
I'm just hopin' that it's good for you
What are you doin'
To get through
You've hit rock bottom
Now tell me what you're gonna do
You followed the leader
Now the leader's motherfuckin' lost
Look at how much your freedom cost
So go ahead spread your wings
I know you're gonna do your thing
I'm just hopin' that it's good for you

Back to the Beginning

Back to the beginning
I've been losing, ain't been winning
Time to make a change
Time to rearrange
Clean the slate, get my priorities straight
Crow tellin' me I sound like shit
Walrus tellin' me I don't look fit
Relationships have hit the wall
Friends they never call, but
I ain't goin' out like this
I'm sorry but this feeling I will never miss
Re-decor once more
Get to the core
Things are gonna be different than they were before
The blues are old news
Lace up your shoes, it's time to get to the to-dos
There's always time
Don't take it for granted
Just, pretty much, keep it in line
You'll turn out fine

Buddy whatcha tryin' to pull
You ain't noble, you ain't noble
Buddy whatcha trin' to pull
Shit is with which what you are full
You fight every night
It ain't right
It's getting out of hand
Don't you understand
That nobody's gonna wanna party with you
If you keep on pullin' the shit you do
Epitome of disgrace
Don't wanna see your face
Get out of this place
You better check yourself
What you're doing surely can't be good for your health
So I suggest you change your style
Or maybe crack a smile
Buddy whatcha trying to pull?
You ain't noble, you ain't noble
Buddy whatcha trying to pull?
Shit is with which what you are full
You're going out like the trash you speak
But you're stayin' in the basement til the end of the week
You think you is but you ain't the shit
Didn't anybody tell you that shirt don't fit
You're trendy, you're phony
You're no name macaroni
So buddy stop tryin' to be someone else
Go fuck yourself
You better check yourself
What you're doing surely can't be good for your health
So I suggest you change your style
Or maybe crack a smile

I've got a plan
But I need more than my own two hands
A little help from you
To let it all fall through
We'll get all our favorite gals and our best pals
Sounds to me like a recipe for a party
So are you with me...I'm with ya, too!
You make it all worthwhile
Friends and family, friends and family
Come party with me
The only rule for this revelry, is
"I don't want to see any negativity"
Once you comprehend that
Then you'll see that this party's where it's at!
We'll bring the kinda food
To put you in a good mood
We'll have enough booze
To break the worst kind of blues
So are you with me...I'm with ya, too!
You make it all worthwhile
Friends and family, friends and family
Come party with me

Four Birds

Sun's shining bright
Not a cloud in sight
All around I hear the sounds of
Kids laughin' and runnin' by
I smile with my head to the sky
I see birds flying, soaring, diving
And I take this precious time out of my morning to
Take it all in and let the birds sing
And they went:
Oh oh oh oh la la
la la la la la la la la la la la, yeah
The green grass
The sun is shining at last
Too good to pass
I was so fast
Come to where the sunshine is
You'll find me there
Come to where the sunshine is
You'll find me there
Oh oh oh oh la la
la la la la la la la la la la la, yeah

Let's make love all night
Yeah girl, you work it right
I wanna hold your body close to mine
Mmm girl, you feel so fine
I wanna bite your lips, kiss your skin
Again and again
La la la la la la la...
Baby no need for MDMA, let
BBT be your ecstasy, yea yea yea yea
I hope you know, I'm like aloe
I'll soothe your burns
I'll smooth your skin
It's just where do I begin
Oh where, where do I begin
La la la la la la la...
Let's make love in the public gardens
In private hours
Oh, make love amongst a bed of flowers
But oh no, its come time to go
But, check it - the sun's givin' us a standing-O

Dig through the rubble
Hoe down the field
Gotta wrestle this bitch
Just to get a meal
I'm goin' out on a limb
Because good work is a grind
I'll do right, I'm doin' mine
To leave it all behind
Another slap in the face
Has all my hard work gone to waste?
And the worst part of this whole thing
Is I don't know what tomorrow will bring
I invest a little trust
You rob me blind
Did you find all the things you could find
Fortune turns to tragedy
Oh no, what's gonna happen to me
You rode off on the horse I rode in
Another slap in the face
Has all my hard work gone to waste?
And the worst part of this whole thing
Is I don't know what tomorrow will bring

Oh are you worth it
After all the staggering, small-talk bullshit
You said no, I said come on
At the end of the night I'll be drinking alone, maybe
On my way home
I left it all in the city
On my way home
The sun shows no pity
The night is done
The casino has won
You know you're in trouble when you see the sun
Got no dough
Out all night
With nothing to show
Oh, I never needed too much to begin with
But mix me another drink
Make it stiff
On my way home
I left it all in the city
On my way home
The sun shows no pity

I'm a soldier tonight
But I'm not gonna shoot you down
I hear your sound
And feel your heartbeat pound
I'm a soldier tonight
But I'm not gonna shoot you down
Stand in line
For the freedom to stand out of line
Some people need war for peace of mind
