You Suck! 04:48
lyrics

You stole my money, you ate my honey You wrecked my car, I hate who you are, you suck! You killed my poop, you made me step in goop You crashed my wedding, you ruined the setting, you suck! You are a jerk, you suck! You stole my butt, you are a nut I cannot urinate, you are the cause of it, you suck! You stole my friend, I wanted them to the end I hate you, you suck! You are a demon, go to hell, ugh! You, yeah you, you suck! You, yeah you, you suck! You, yeah you, you suck! You, yeah you, you suck! You stole the remote, you stole my best quote You really do suck, yeah you really do suck You are stick, balloon stick, I’m poop, you suck! You, yeah you, you suck! You, yeah you, you suck! You, yeah you, you suck! You, yeah you, you suck!

That's No Biz 03:35
lyrics
buy track
You’re learning how to fly but never learning why You’re told to say goodbye, not where you’re going Tune out from loudspeakers, listen for the whispers Passion needn’t cry We think it must ’cause we’re us and that’s how the world is They tell you not to pout, they’ve got it all worked out No need to think about where you are going “Be who you want to be” meant choose which corporate event Lets you sing and shout; take a look at yourself right now That’s no biz – why don’t you optimize? Come up with a better authentic you So they say, the ones who never wrote a song Shouldn’t they know best? I tell you what, old child The wealthy and the wild cannot be reconciled Though it may cause you wrath you’ve got to choose your path Go on and do the math; turns out you can’t quite fly So where are you going? One road’s paved with broken promises Dangling carrot gold and someone else’s dreams While yours is still thickets and trees That’s no biz of anybody’s but your own Sort by how it makes you feel, not by how many views Because no one ever lived your life before So tell me who knows best?

Just an Illusion 03:08
lyrics
buy track
A distant dream, I can barely hear it Someone’s song carried on the air 9/12 mystical, 2/8 eerie What kind of party is who having where? He says every rainbow is just an illusion Though not all illusions are bad The wind’s playing tricks with his words But he sure sounded glad I’d like to find out how to find this festival He shakes his white beard and says “Patience, dear boy” Snippets of the unbounded infinitesimal The whole sky is filled with its own colors and joy Time, like a rainbow, is just an illusion Helping small minds comprehend Limited viewers, take heed for the view has no end Lightning and thunder, evil and suffering They last for one piece of one day Yes, more will follow And here you are sending them on their mayfly illusory way He said every rainbow is just an illusion Though phantoms don’t need to be bad The wind’s playing tricks with his words There’s a point to be had

To Get Better 02:50
lyrics
buy track
There it stands The mighty mountain of complete fulfillment Peace and love Dotted with a slew of smaller hills, ups and downs Some call these mistakes and blunders Interspersed with what, one wonders Closer to the top, you might could tell Sure, the peak is pure perfection And the climb is dedication Even though the peak is much too far from today What little path exists is a winding rocky way And sometimes I don’t want to go on No I don’t really care for how it is and that’s all right “It” wasn’t my decision I don’t have to stumble yet I do because You got to get through bad to get better Here we are, a ragtag band at base camp A first-rate view of a windy wasteland Dotted with the tombs of those who came this far before Some call their mistakes our history Why they don’t study up’s a mystery Closer to the end, you might can tell Only the learned can break the rules Only the wise must suffer fools Reaching the top is not the point, although it is there What little path exists is a winding rocky way And sometimes I don’t want to go on No I don’t really care for how it is and that’s all right “It” wasn’t my decision I don’t have to stumble yet I do because You got to hit the ground And you got to get back up to get better

Never Say Never 03:07
lyrics
buy track
Never say it, never do it, resist the temptation Never exclaim it, never dare Always resist the devil of words Never shout it, never think about it Trust me: you’ll feel down Never dream about it, never imagine Your emotions will fly like birds Never say never unless you want to – never, never! Never say never, never consider it Let those sad words fly away Never do it through telepathy, never forget this golden rule Never try it, it will end badly, you’ll just have to trust me Never initiate it, it will end in an unfair mind duel Never say never unless you have to – never, never! Never do it, never dare, never say it or you’ll be scared Never think about it or you’ll die Never shout it or you’ll be mine Never even think about it or you’ll be cursed Never consider it Never say never, or you’ll be sent to the land of flames If you do you’ll perish in fire And followed up by that is burning in hell So just remember: never say never Never say never unless you must Never say never unless you’re held at gunpoint Never say never unless you’re saying never, never!

Wonder Wallpaper 03:49
lyrics
buy track
Summer holds a mirror to the brighter side of life Meanwhile, who is shivering in the cold? Pop songwriters fear her, the muse who packs a knife Common ground is all they try to hold They churn out wonder wallpaper, pretty and precise And I see it while I search for breaking news Sheetrock could use decorating, nothing wrong with that It’s a worthy goal to hand out water and bread So you won’t find me hating while I pass my hat As a rule, the more you’re paid, the less you’ve said Get rich on wonder wallpaper: harmless, catchy, nice How it covers up the way on, should you choose Freezing white-clad weather affords one time to think Eyes closed, riding a rock around the sun It takes a lifetime to get better yet ’94 was last blink I don’t know what I’m doing ’cause I’m not done But it isn’t wonder wallpaper, artificial rice ’Cause it starves us while I hunger for breaking news

Onebody 06:17
lyrics
buy track
Fall asleep by the fire on a day you tried too hard Through the night, wake up tired Then the sunrise hits your yard What became of your childhood Has now happened to your youth Did you cry? I know that I would if I didn’t know the truth Some say hit the back of the line ’cause you ain’t nobody Step back and clear the way; your better’s coming through You had your chance and blew it; there’s not a bit more to it I say, these people are wrong Ain’t no quitting if you care enough No shame if you’re being treated rough Take pride double when the times are tough Get by solely on luck and love Use your head in a brainless world and trust your heart If you don’t know where to turn — it can’t deceive you No use playing if you never win But even the best are going to lose again Take a few punches and pack it in, tomorrow’s another day And never let who some half-wit says you are Change who you might be You got to believe you No one’s worthless, no one’s golden Dead and famous cannot grow Who will make the next great discovery? Who would dare to claim they know? Every life has equal purpose, only fortune disagrees And only cruel sorts who try to hurt us treat the special as elite I say, feel free to step out of line ’cause you are onebody Find where you feel you belong It’s somewhere waiting for you You have another chance here; while maybe it could be fancier You say if I’m right or wrong Ain’t no quitting if you care enough No shame if you’re being treated rough Take pride double when the times are tough Get by solely on luck and love Use your head in a brainless world and trust your heart If you don’t know where to turn — it can’t deceive you No use playing if you never win But even the best are going to lose again Take a few punches and pack it in, tomorrow’s another day And never let who some half-wit says you are Change who you might be You got to believe you And there is no quitting if you care enough No shame if some fool treats you rough Make it till the morning solely on luck and love Fall asleep with satisfaction at a hard day’s work well done Not for nothing if you took action Quit trying to become somebody since you’re already one Celebrities on their planes are still each only onebody Find where you feel you belong It’s somewhere waiting for you There’ll come a last chance, surely; no need to name it early You say if I’m right or wrong

Beg for It 03:01
lyrics
buy track
Surrender control, pour out your soul Always in a hole – no, there’s not much shine on a writer’s life Trim it down to size, edit, agonize Then throw it all out there, hoping someone will care That ain’t enough: you got to beg for it Jump through hoops with a smile on your face Not enough: no, you got to beg for it It has nothing to do with music or you – come on and beg Play your new song, the lay rich hear it wrong Knowing all along the racket doesn’t have to be this way It’s not just us bards: we all got the same cards With chains on the back as we play with a chip and a chair You want a big stack? Well, you got to beg for it Shining their shoes all over the place Not enough: no, you got to beg for it Maybe a crumb will be dropped by the dumb Come on and beg You want to live? Well, you got to beg for it Jump through hoops with a smile on your face Not enough: no, you got to beg for it Lucky are those the incompetent chose You want air? You got to beg for it As long as you play by the rules of today On your knees, grovel and beg for it It has nothing to do with anything true – come on, beg

Everybody Sucks 03:30
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes you might want to bawl Misthinking one world fits all No room for anyone else And no welcome if you dare to be yourself Please remember we’re all one but no two of us are the same There’s a difference down deep and proudly I proclaim That everybody sucks in their own special way No one ever failed like you before We received this gift at birth and it will not go away A foulness too unique to mimic or ignore So many flavors of fink, new and exciting ways to stink Garbage carved out a special place for you In your heart of hearts, you know it’s true Yeah, remember there’s but one path to what they call success No one’s on it, and once you see that fact, it’ll matter even less Oh, everybody sucks at their designated bit You will master your stench, given time Some are rude or greedy, some are cold and without wit Worst off are the clueless who believe they’re doing fine Worry not, you’ll fall in love again, and again because Everybody sucks in their own special way And someone out there’s going to draw you close Find out just how they’re terrible then decide if you will stay Maybe start a sucky family like we don’t have enough of those Everybody sucks in their own special way No one ever failed like you before We received this gift at birth and it will not go away A foulness too unique to mimic or ignore

Show Me the Ugly 01:39

Here’s another open call: over 40 need not apply They are looking for a new look It’s a search for talent, indeed I gotta wonder if John and Paul Weighed 450, where would we be? If success is determined by merit, if quality’s all it takes Show me the ugly! How come every supergenius is super-cute? Show me the ugly! Explain it like I’m five You might argue that’s showbiz Beauty is what makes pockets deep Entertainment is a small par Of the human endeavour, and so on But it’s not just music: all that there is Hiring, friendship, the bum on the street Quick – name a hunchbacked president! Huh? Well? I’m waiting Show me the ugly! You mean not one prodigy’s hideous? Show me the ugly! Do you care about people at all? Show me the ugly! If you’re going to lie, don’t be so obvious Show me the ugly! Explain it like I’m five

Almost Swallowed 05:19
lyrics

I sat on my bed in a dark room, thinking it over Deciding whether a bottle or promise would break A steady hand shook as I poured out a short-term cure-all And I almost swallowed the very last drink I’d ever take The clock’s ticking out in the hall The sound’s coming through the wall, reminding me So much opportunity here in America Put your head down, work hard, ask and ye shall receive But the job of a writer is to notice what is not advertised And I almost swallowed the lie they think we all believe The clock’s ticking out in the hall The sound’s coming through the wall, reminding me Some brains struggle with modern life – I can’t see why Happily, there’s a pill that makes you feel okay It’s easy to get, but it’s hard to know what it takes from you I almost swallowed but I’d rather live this way The clock’s ticking out in the hall The sound’s coming through the wall, reminding me A few simple waves and particles form a rich stew A system somewhat able to self-describe The unknown is huge Yet when I think about all I’ve thought about I’m almost swallowed by the spacetime contained inside The clock’s ticking out in the hall The sound’s coming through the wall, reminding me
