-
-
- --SONG NUMBER ONE
-
- Song number one is not a fuck you song
- I'll save that one for later on
- You wanna know if there's something wrong?
-
- It's nothing
-
- Everybody's talking about their hometown scenes
- And hurting people's feelings in their magazines
- You want to know what it all means?
-
- It's nothing
-
- Fighting for a haircut? Then grow your hair
- Crying for the music? I doubt you really care
- Looking for an answer? You can find it anywhere
-
- It's nothing
-
- Life is what you want it to be
- So don't get tangled up trying to be free
- And don't worry what the other people say
-
- It's nothing
-
-
- --FURNITURE
-
- This is a song with no words
- Nobody can here the missing
- They just look at mouth and say,
- "Hey man, I know where he's coming from"
-
- Furniture has no say in life
- It was made to be used by people
- How many times have you felt like a bookshelf
- Full of thought already written
-
- This is a song with no words
- I'm sure you've heard it before
- You can see my mouth and you know that it's moving
- You already know where I'm coming from
-
- Right here
-
-
- --TURN OFF YOUR GUNS
-
- Turn off your guns
- Don't cut your skin no more
- Everybody's always saying,
- If you hate life so much, what are you living for?
- While we're still paying
-
- You never hurt yourself
- You hurt everybody else
- And you talk about dying
- But when your wish comes true, and there's no more you
- We're still trying, we'll be trying
-
- This is not the end of you
-
- Noting in life could be that bad
-
-
- --BREAK-IN
-
- And he's happy because she's got skin
- And she's happy just to let him in
- When he asks will you let me in?
- And from a place where they share skin they say
-
- Come inside
-
- And he's happy because she's got skin
- And it's sweet when she lets him in, no sin
- But there's a when where skin wears thin
- And she finds she's working on another skin deep inside
-
- Deep inside
- Break-in
-
- And then he wonders will my money, will it cover for me?
- Can I stay outside and let it cover for me?
- But she can't get outside, she's the covering
- And she can't get outside, she's the covering
-
-
- --AND THE SAME
-
- At the risk of being too politically correct
- This comes to you spiritually direct
- An attempt to thoughtfully change
- Your way of thinking
-
- That is if you believe in race
- And that you were born in the right time and place
- This is a thought, about face
- Your way of thinking
-
- And the same could be said
- For all the people who are lying dead
- To die was only distraction
- What they found out a bit too late
- Got twisted up in all that hate
- And now it plays the part of reaction
-
- If you have to carry a gun
- To keep your seat at number one
- This is a bullet you can't outrun
- Your way of thinking
-
- Just wait and see, it's coming round
- Conscripted from the lost and found
- And still we find so tightly wound
- Your way of thinking
-
-
- --WORD
-
- You got a problem?
- What can you do?
- What was that word again?
-
- Life has got me down
- Everything is wrong
- Mom & Dad...(and so forth, whatever)
- What was that word again?
-
- The word is...
-
- You see ugliness?
- You see ugliness?
- You see reflection.
- Your reflection
-
- What was that word again?
- What was that word again?
-
- The word is...
-
- Change
-
-
- --WAITING ROOM
-
- I am a patient boy
- I wait, I wait, I wait
- My time is like water down a drain
- Everybody's moving, everything is moving
- Please don't leave me to remain
-
- In the waiting room
-
- I don't want the news
- I'm not a part of it
- I don't want the news
- I have no use for it
- Sitting outside of town
- Everybody's always down
- Because...
- They can't get up
-
- But I don't sit by idly
- I'm planning a big surprise
- I'm gonna fight for what I want to be
- I won't make the same mistakes
- Because I know how much time that wastes
- Function is the key
-
- In the waiting room
-
-
- --BAD MOUTH
-
- You can't be what you were
- You have to be what you are
- You can't be what you were
- Time is now and it's running out
- You can't be what you were
- So you'd better start living the life
- You've been singing about
- You can't be what you were
-
- No movement, no movement, no movement
- In a bad mouth
- It betrays a bad mind
-
-
- --IN DEFENSE OF HUMANS
-
- In defense of humans
- Lay down your power trip
- Stop toying with emotions
- And relationships
-
- You don't rise when people fall
-
- In defense of humans
- Lay down your politics
- They're all big money
- And media tricks
-
- You don't rise when people fall
-
- I see you ride this world
- I see you rob this world
- I see you rape this world
- On off on off on off
-
- And I don't like what I see
-
- Greed
-
- In defense of humans
- Lay down your human pride
- We're born into our bodies
- No chance to decide
-
- You don't rise when people fall
-
- In defense of humans
- Lay down your sticks and stones
- Weapons and violence
- Are better off left alone
-
- You don't rise when people fall
-
- --MERCHANDISE
-
- When we have nothing left to give
- There will be no reason for us to live
- But when we have nothing left to lose
- You'll have nothing left to use
-
- We owe you nothing so
- You have no control
-
- Merchandise keeps us in line
- Common sense says it's by design
- What could the business men ever want more
- Than to have us sucking in their stores?
-
- We owe you nothing
- You have no control
-
- You are not what you own
-
-
- --BULLDOG FRONT
-
- Ahistorical--you think this shit just dropped
- Right out of the sky
- My analysis: it's time to harvest the
- Crust from your eyes
- To surge and refine, to rage and define
- Ourselves
- Against your line so sorry friend but
- You must resign
-
- You want to figure it out
- We'll throw down, we'll throw down
- You want to figure it out
- Well throw down your bulldog front
-
- Bold bold mouth talking not so bold
- Now that you've eaten your own
- Lips flecked, mouth specked you strip the
- Skin right off of the bone
-
- And I would never say you act without
- Precision or care, but it's all attention
- To armor, to the armor you wear so well
- Let's knock and check to see
- If there's somebody home
-
-
- --BURNING
-
- There's something acting on this body
- Something goes in when nothing comes out
- And someone's acting on this information
- But nothing's registered from this location
- From this site that I am, in asking
- What is this buring in my eyes?
-
- I wanted a language of my own
- My lips sucked empty and I mouthed the lines
- Of this crowd that surrounds me
- Punctured and parceled I fold my hand
- To this site that I snse that I am in asking
- What is this burning in my eyes?
-
-
- --GIVE ME THE CURE
-
- I never thought too hard on dying before
- I never sucked on the dying
- I never licked the side of dying before
- And now I'm feeling the dying
-
- You've got your hands over your ears
- You've got your mouth running on
- You've got your eyes looking for something
- that will never be found--like a reason
- And I don't need a reason
-
- I never thought too hard on dying before
- I never thought on the dying
- I never held the hand of dying before
- And now I'm feeling the dying
-
- But you got to
- Give me the shot
- Give me the pill
- Give me the cure
- Now what you've done to my world
-
-
- --SUGGESTION
-
- Why can't I walk down a street free of suggestion?
- Is my body my only trait in the eyes of men?
-
- I've got some skin
- You want to look in
-
- There lays no reward in what you discover
- You spent yourself watching me suffer
- Suffer your words, suffer your eyes, suffer your hands
- Suffere your interpretation of what it is to be a man
-
- I've got some skin
- You want to look in
-
- She does nothing to deserve it
- He only wants to observe it
- We sit back like they taught us
- We keep quiet like they taught us
-
- He just wants to prove it
- She does nothing to remove it
- We don't want anyone to mind us
- So we play the roles that they assigned us
-
- She does nothing to conceal it
- He touches her 'cause he wants to feel it
- We blame her for being there
- But we are all guilty
-
-
- --GLUE MAN
-
- I spent it all
- On the bag
- On the drag
-
- The sun comes up, the tide rolls out
- The trucks roll by the park still a park
- Where children play and pick up stones
- Anything to make them feel less alone--he's alone
-
- His mind is his own town where his thoughts run aground
- They fall all over and down
-
- I spent it all
- On the bag
- On the drag
-
- The sun comes down, the tide rolls back
- We crawl our way back to the house we call home
- he holds his home in the palm of his hand
- And he says, and he says
-
- You are my everyone, you are my anyone
- You are my anytime, you are my everytime
- You are my everywhere...anywhere...
