they throw out apathy
that all we do is shout and scream
would you sacrifice everything you love for a social experiment well
we're prone to judgment
yet we all have to live
what choice do we have than to just be ourselves
it's easy to convince yourself your actions are right
it's hard to try try for a better life
hey life's a riot
go on ignite it
light up our life
it isn't simple
no one speaks for everyone
there's always room for exception and interpretation
along with consciousness integrity should be integral
it's a lonely universe and we're all we have
it's easy to convince yourself your actions are right
it's hard to try try for a better life
hey life's a riot
go on ignite it
light up our life
hey life's a riot

They Say

last night as I lay in my bed I dreamt I could solve my problems
I dreamt I met up with old friends and put an end to a few isms
they say they say nothin' really matters anyway
they say we don't give a fuck about today
I've a feelin' that all of my true friends never really belonged in this world even when we're surrounded by perfect family friends and lovers we're ever alone
they say they say nothin' really matters anyway
they say we don't give a fuck about today
they say nothin' really matters anyway
they say we don't give a fuck about today

They Won't Get Us
02:18

when you come through the door close it quick don't let the draft come in
you gotta take your place with willin' minds
with bullets in your gun and killin' on your mind
you won't get me- if I wanted to kill
you won't get me- it wouldn't be someone I didn't know
you won't get me- it would be someone like you
that wants to hurt others
if you can't convince us don't resist us don't even try
you better take your place with willin' minds
with bullets in your gun and killin' on your mind
you won't get me- if I wanted to kill
you won't get me- it wouldn't be someone I didn't know
you won't get me- it would be someone like you
that wants to hurt others
think about it man
you won't get me you won't get him
think about it man
where do you stand
you won't get me- if I wanted to kill
you won't get me- it wouldn't be someone I didn't know
you won't get me- it would be someone like you
that wants to hurt others
think about it man
you won't get me you won't get him
think about it man
where do you stand
you won't get me you won't get him
think about it man
where do you stand
the time to stand up is right now

Make It Your Day
02:41

fresh out of university straight into multiversity a fan of malt diversity
a fan of the beer
who is the multi-million anchor of civilization
who is the microphone complex why ask?
they want us to say there's no other way black or white there's no gray
okay make it your day
generally generous all but all obedient
all but all obedient all but genuine
as the waves of ignorance travel swiftly towards the shore
we will not take shelter no! Stare slack-jawed at the storm
they want us to say there's no other way dark or light a glimmer
okay make it your day
they want us to say there's no other fuckin' way but dark light or gray there's always a way
okay make it your day
a fan of malt diversity

it's been a crazy week weatherwise
the pretentious poetry of muddy soles and cracked concrete
if Moses were here to help today we'd not need him to part a sea
we'd ask him simply to plant a tree
I have deep affection for the people
A Most Fortuitous Method tune in tune up
are you ready to admit it when you didn't invent it
through diamond hail we'll lift the veil
poets...they can't do shit
it's been a crazy week weatherwise or not Cockrates has the litmus test and a studded vest
there's rumours in the form of rotting breath
you cowboys all sit tight there's a weekend every week
and don't use meth
I have deep affection for the people
A Most Fortuitous Method tune in tune up
are you ready to admit it when you didn't invent it
through diamond hail we'll lift the veil
poets...they can't do shit
there's nothin' gained with unlearning
circumcising reason trimming brain fat that you need
on the other hand maybe unlearning is what we all really need
I have deep affection for the people
A Most Fortuitous Method tune in tune up
are you ready to admit it when you didn't invent it
through diamond hail we'll lift the veil
poets...they can't do shit
are you ready? Yeah!!!!
Are you ready? Fuck yeah!!!!
Are you ready are you ready are you ready...
through diamond hail we'll lift the veil
veil!

are you happy with the state of things
the condition of the state
come hate filled magistrate
seeming pious secretly profligate
when the noose is fashionable
rationalize you're rational
accept the national national
characteristic of kill and then pose as the dove
contemporary- the outlaw revised
contemporary- the pre-despised
contemporary- soon to be chastised
the flavor of the meek
if you learn to love what you fear
is there some kind of shelter there
to keep us warm when feeling bare
awning
contemporary charismatic criminals
contemporary!
all repeat
sympathetic crook of the week
come run with me
bankrobber fantasy
planting the seed for the next Halloween
contemporary charismatic criminals
Hollywood gangsters
likable predators
no regard for human life
clown faced killer
contemporary charismatic criminals
contemporary!

Blood City
03:09

Well it's the best the worst
you get what you pay for in the world of scrapin' teeth
you got the look the beat the heat of the city
but your heart mirrors the concrete
your love impossible
you're love impossible
and it's just another heartbreak in the city of blood
just another heartbreak in the city
well there's a knife a kid a chase begins and ends in county jail
a trail of wet fresh blood and broken glass and where were you when I was there

down one street and back again avoidin' the same ol' same again

there it is you're hangin' out drinkin' porter and havin' fun
now there are rats in your brain and traps in your mind
and you're wound up like a loaded gun
but when those rats escape those traps you've set
then it's aw what the hell don't listen to the conscience in your head
now that's all that's left like a chemistry set your body and your mind have switched over
and if you want it - if you want it
and you need it - and you need it
then you're gonna have to get it from him
but when it hits your face like a thousand bricks
you'll have to look to yourself instead
one track mind games mind games - oh no!
withdrawing all the care in the world - torture
one track mind games mind games - oh no!
withdrawing all the care at all torture
and if you want it - if you want it
and you need it - and you need it
then you're gonna have to get it from him
but when it hits your face like a thousand bricks you'll have to look to yourself instead 'cause...
one track mind games mind games - oh no!
withdrawing all the care in the world - torture
yeah one track mind games mind games - oh no!
withdrawing all the care at all torture
and if you want it - if you want it
and you need it - and you need it
then you're gonna have to get it from him
but when it hits your face like a thousand bricks you'll have to look to yourself instead

it was a difficult time alright transitioning from east coast time attempting transcendence of a troubled mind
open the paper for a show to find
Pogues back to back for two nights lose myself in Las Vegas lights
I said that's a cool shirt tall tall man he said my name is Mike that's my band so I told him my favorite song is...
waiting in the wings waiting in the wings waiting in the wings
he is the shotcaller probably be a good basketballer
all you gotta know is don't cut him off nothin' can stop him not afraid of the law
and if there's a door between ya be it wooden or glass or police
he'll run it down burn cops it'll take a few to bring him down
all the while singin'...
waiting in the wings waiting in the wings waiting in the wings
let's be real here's the deal I know what I want I know what I feel
the band can't drive their van red wine and Jack Daniels
if you happened to be there we had a blast if not then we don't care
make it your day up the decival lebels if you've had it up to here
go replace those strings keep on playin' keep on writin' songs like...
waiting in the wings waiting in the wings waiting in the wings
we don't wanna getcha kick kicked outta the Timbers
but what you gonna do when you can't get in your room hey!
Hey Kimm mail the jacket keep kickin' up the racket
and no matter where you play make sure that you come back this way and do...
waiting in the wings waiting in the wings waiting in the wings

Rollercoaster

sometimes I'm a rollercoaster
sometimes I can be mean
sometimes I transcend stress and worry
sometimes I'm sweet
sometimes in the morning I feel like I might throw up
but then I throw on some music
and the cheer it brings me can't be topped
sometimes I'm a rollercoaster
up and down
up and down up and down up and down
one time when it was rainin'
rainin' on my clothes
I ran outta money I nearly ran outta hope
that time wasn't funny that day wasn't fun
I passed out in the starbucks in downtown Brooklyn
oh Atlantic
sometimes I'm a rollercoaster
up and down
up and down up and down up and down
sometimes I can be mean to the girl of my dreams
sometimes she can't stand it but somehow forgives me
sometimes I have money sometimes I need a helpin' hand
sometimes the drinks are on me yeah empty cups 'til it's hard to stand ohhh
sometimes I'm a rollercoaster
up and down
up and down up and down up and down
