Money

Is it money that makes you happy?
Freedom from thrift
Is that what it is?
Maybe your satisfied
with living alone
With a room and balcony
Is it money that makes you happy?
Freedom from thrift
Is that what it is?
Hands on the wheel
A driver in control
But I’ll be riding my Peugot
Anywhere I go
At the end of the day
I’d rather it be free
But maybe that’s just me

Hammer

A hammer’s always thinking everyone’s a nail
When she’s been out drinking men bet that she’s for sale
Johns spend all their paper buy her liquor and her blow
Barman keeps the paper tells her babe you’d better go
A hammer’s never thinking when he’s banging on a nail
Spit to keep from shrinking damn that powder and that ale
He’s so cold he’ll waste leave her body in the snow
Newsman reads newspaper, mumbles bless her poor jane doe
A hammer’s always thinking everyone’s a nail
That won’t help you sinking when that hammers ripped your sail
If you want salvation, it’s best you let her go
Better yet its time you trade your hammer for a hoe

Things I've Learned

The car wont start when its 40 below
and you shouldn’t mix gin with misery I know
And I shouldn’t have called you so late but I did
A few things I learned since I was a kid, A few things I’ve learned since I was a kid
You can’t say goodbye if you’re already gone
and the state ain’t no symbol of freedom where I’m from
And the world is good, good like a gift
A few things I’ve learned since I was a kid, a few things I’ve learned since I was a kid
And we’re all bound for heaven given it exists
for societies hell made for my benefit
And I’m a lover not a fighter, this I’ll admit
A few things I’ve learned since I was a kid, a few things I’ve learned since I was a kid

Home Alone

I want you and I need you but I’m not gonna fuckin kiss you
You said give me a second chance
I said baby just save your breath
Cause I don’t want you no more
I don’t want to be yours no more
I’d rather sleep on the bathroom floor
No thanks, I’m fine just close the door
I miss you, come back babe.
I didn’t even mean a thing babe
Oh yea I’m quite alright but you left your ghosts
I keep my house airtight
How could you leave me here all alone,
you know I’m not good on my own
I’ll pretend like I’m not home
when you knock, knock, knock and blow up my phone

Not Real Pretty
03:30
|

|
When people say you’re not my kind
And that your jokes are out of line
And that your hair isn’t combed all the time
You’re not real pretty but you’re mine
We got this great big old society
It won’t make room for folks like you and me
But I got some real sad news for them my friend
They’re on the outside looking in
We got a great thing goin and it keeps right on growing
I hope that someday soon they’ll see the light
But until that time, we’re gonna blow their minds
Cause it ain’t us that’s gonna loose the fight
So when we’re walking I don’t care
When all those people stop and stare
If they’d just look in your eyes they’d see
You’re not real pretty but you belong with me

Not Tonight
02:43

Did you find what you were looking for in the alley behind the bar
I made my way home in time for theories, running cross country through my mind
On any other night, no I wouldn’t have cared
We’re two people untethered, and you know that’s fair
But something about the crowd got me feeling sentimental
Something about the scene backlit by the VLT screens and you standing close to me
Lord I almost caved in
And though the nights are cold I can always get some air
And if you know how to ask, I’ll follow you anywhere
But not tonight
Thank Christ
Did you find what you were looking for in the alley behind the bar
I made my way home in time for theories, running cross country through my mind
That sinking feeling like death in summer evenings well I know what you’re holding and you know what I’m needing tonight
So that’s alright I’ll take the real thing
Something about the scene backlit by the VLT screens and you standing close to me
Lord I almost caved in
And though the nights are cold I can always get some air
And if you know how to ask, I’ll follow you anywhere
But not tonight
Thank Christ

Been Thinking

Lately I’ve been thinking of him
And lately I’ve been dreaming of him too
I wanna kill my rapist
Wont you help me kill my rapist
I wanna kill my rapist
Wont you help me kill my rapist
I wanna make him bleed, I wanna watch him cry
I wanna make him plead, I wanna watch him die
I wanna kill my rapist, won’t you help me kill my rapist
I wanna kill my rapist, won’t you help me kill my rapist
I am coming for you, you can’t run and you can’t hide
I am coming for you, you are gonna die
I wanna kill my rapist, won’t you help me kill my rapist
I wanna kill my rapist, woman (come and) help me kill my rapist

Flat earth, take me home to that place long gone
I could ride all night look back and see where I’m coming from
And ain’t nobody gonna prove me wrong
They tell you that you’re living on a ball
like the one you find in a bowling alley or in a bingo hall
They tell you that you’re living on a sphere
spinning round and round 365 days a year
Flat earth, take me home to that place long gone
I could ride all night look back and see where I’m coming from
And ain’t nobody gonna prove me wrong
They say the physicists got it all figured out
Leave it up to the scientists and live without a doubt
Now you tell me without a doubt
That you’re not a CIA plant and why I should trust any other words coming out your mouth
Flat earth, take me home to that place long gone
I could ride all night look back and see where I’m coming from
And ain’t nobody gonna prove me wrong
