stupid
if you waited / much too long
to end up where / you belong
week by week you're / getting stronger
I've been told / that I can't hear
but I heard a sound / not with my ear
it was a man being / filled with fear
there was a time I ran and hid
I cannot say I'm glad I did
I might be deaf but I'm not
stupid
rumor has it / that I can't speak
the words can't seem / to leave my head
lips held together / with a single thread
I take back everything I said
if words could kill / I would be dead
I might be dumb but I'm not
stupid
there was a time I ran and hid
I cannot say I'm glad I did
I might be scared but I'm not
stupid
e-z living
I know you're alive cause I heard you cough
the lights are on but the vital signs are off
notify the next of kin
I rang the bell they wouldn't let me in
the cause of death
easy living
it takes its
toll but I'm not giving
the cause of death
easy living
I had a mind but it's gone to seed
it's been replaced by a tumbleweed
then again maybe I've been freed
ignorance is the bliss I need
the cause of death
easy living
it takes its
toll but I'm not giving
the cause of death
easy living
I heard the sound of the curtain fall
I heard it down at the shopping mall
I saw it on big screen t.v.
it's a miracle it didn't land on me
the cause of death
easy living
it takes its
toll but I'm not giving
the cause of death
e-z living
sullen
didn't I learn a thing or two
didn't I do what you asked me to
but you're a rock that won't quit rolling
it's hard to tell whose legs you're pulling
and now I'm sullen
less than hopeful
my brain is swollen
you said a mouthful
and I am sullen
a lesson I learned as I got older
life's as subtle as a boulder (in freefall)
but I've got a will that won't be broken
the more you know me / the more I'm joking
and now I'm sullen
less than hopeful
my brain is swollen
you said a mouthful
and I am sullen
I've got a lot to learn I guess
a penny for your thoughtlessness
I won't get far with this load I'm hauling
my hopes had risen but now they're falling
didn't I learn a thing or two
didn't I do what you asked me to
but you're a rock / you won't quit rolling
it's hard to tell whose legs you're pulling
and now I'm sullen
anonymous
one thing 'bout me / think you should know
anonymous / from head to toe
my signature / the perfect x
still I remain / completeley vexed
I don't know my name
my only claim to fame is
I don't know my name
I've seen myself / in a mirror or two
I stare and stare / without a clue
I see my face is drawn / and not too well
an artist's sketch / gone to hell
I don't know my name
my only claim to fame is
I don't know my name
and now I'm gone / a good thing too
not much more / for me to do
and written down / with my epitaph
nothing at all / I had to laugh
I don't know my name
my only claim to fame is
I don't know my name
disappear
I will disappear / if you want me to
I'll leave without a trace / in the middle of the night
and if you look I'm not around
well I'm here / but nowhere to be found
I'm only six feet underground
and I can't be found
catch me if you can / I don't think you can
'cause now I'm in my car / and I'm shifting sand
and if you look I'm not around
I'm only six feet underground
and I can't be found
I've been relocated / to a safer place
they gave me a new name / and a different face
and if you look I'm not around
well I'm here / but nowhere to be found
I'm only six feet underground
and I won't be found
down river
I lost my mind / it wasn't mine
I found religion / just a smidgen
floating down a river / we're hand in hand
if you have to go now / I understand
I fixed a race / and fell from grace
I broke a rule / 'cause it was cool
floating down a river / we're hand in hand
if you have to go now / I understand
floating down a river
I punched a clock / and started screaming
I kicked the habit / or was I dreaming
floating down a river / we're hand in hand
if you have to go now / I understand
I understand
you gonna pay
you heard the names the pot called the kettle
now here's a story about a debt unsettled
the pot on the kettle made a personal attack
the kettle said look at yourself and take it back
if you're living your life this way
bells start ringing when you hear me say
you gonna pay
you gonna pay
do as I say, not as I do
this goden rule will make a fool out of you
practice every day till you get the hang of it
next thing you know you're a full fledged hypocrite
if you're living your life this way
don't get funny when you hear me say
you gonna pay
you gonna pay
you heard the names the pope called the devil
slinging that mud with a sacred shovel
the pope on the devil made a personal attack
the devil said look at yourself and take it back
if you're living your life this way
bells start ringing when you hear me say
don't get funny and walk away
you gonna pay
you gonna pay
everything's going to be alright
I've been hit by a car / been hit by a truck
went down in an ocean / like a ship out of of luck
fell out a window / just like a cat
landed on my feet / as a matter of fact
yeah I fell down / but I'm doing alright
my head was spinning / so I turned on a light
still in the dark / to my surprise
you can't see much / 'less you open your eyes
and now / everything' going to be alright
I hired somebody / to ruin my life
I paid for trials / tribulation and strife
he said there was really / nothing he could do
no one does it / better than you
lady luck is your friend / if you don't try to use her
and stumble through life / like a born again loser
she knows pain / like the back of your hand
I guess you showed her / you're a man
and now / everything's going to be alright
is this a love song?
and her smile / about a mile wide
and her eyes / I've fallen deep inside
and her kisses / are running down my neck
and the verdict / without her I'm a wreck
shoul I surrender / she conquers me with ease
with her love / she brings me to my knees
just to hold her / I'd give my world and more
I must be dreaming / she's walking through the door
and her voice / like honey for my ears
and her face / it brings me close to tears
is this a love song?
it sounds like one to me
is this a love song?
most definitely
the burden
it don't pay the rent
it ain't heaven sent
it ain't making me friends
it's not a means to an end
but I can't lay it down
it follows me around
I welcome it
we go together
like the pages in a book
like meat on a hook
like the sky and the moon
like the needle and the spoon
and I can't lay it down
it follows me from town to town
I welcome it
I welcome it
I do
there's something missing / when she doesn't come around
and I wonder who she's found
and my face is on the ground
and I'm waiting for that sound
my hert begins to pound
I welcome it
I do
negative mantra
sat down here with a pen in hand
hoping writing this / would help me understand
making a list of dos and don'ts / can'ts and won'ts
things I'll never say / worked my finger nearly to the bone
I ain't bragging though / I knop I'm not alone
still, sometimes I feel like a useless slob
now there ain't a bank / I wouldn't rob
goodbye day job / day job goodbye
will I've been told that I might be wrong
but it's the only place / my resolution is strong
I've seen the demise with my own two eyes
do you think you can / convince me otherwise
I fill my cup from the tree of life
and I love mother earth like a second wife
I took a sip / and I'm feeling fine
but it isn't wine / it's turpentine
goodbye day job / day job goodbye
sat down here with a gun in hand
hoping loading it / would help me understand
this thing called life is a house so frail
can't believe a man / could call it jail
I fill my cup from this house called life
and I love mother earth like a second wife
I took a sip and I'm feeling fine
but it isn't wine / it's turpentine
goodbye day job / day job goodbye
do me no favors
you think what's in my best interest / is unbeknownst to me
you think I'm acting foolish / well I strongly disagree
so don't do me any favors
they aren't the kind I need
you thought your twisted logic / would straighten me right out
you hit me with a hammer / you almost knocked me out
so don't do me any favors
they aren't the kind I need
so don't do me no fucking favors
do me no favors please
I'm sure you had your best intentions / then again maybe not
I felt just like a fly / waiting for the swat
so don't do me no little favors
they aren't the kind I need
don't do me any favors
do me no favors
please
the big joke
see that man in his 3-piece suit
he's pointing his fingers / and he's laughing at you
he knows something you never will
now the punch line's moving in for the kill
but don't laugh / if you don't get it
it's gonna bring you down / if you let it
don't laugh / if you don't get it
it's gonna break you right in two
I'm the funniest thing / you ever saw
you told me so with a hahaha
the joke is funny when it first gets told
a thousnad times later / it's getting kind of old
but don't laugh / if you don't get it
it's gonna bring you down / if you let it
don't laugh / if you don't get it
it's gonna break you right in two
who's that yonder laughing at me
like I was the brunt of some hilarity
you laughed and laughed / till your neck nearly broke
you're the victim of a great big joke
but don't laugh / if you don't get it
it's gonna bring you down / if you let it
don't laugh / if you don't get it
it's gonna break you right in two
