Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say...
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it
Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's...
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
It lay buried here. It lay deep inside me.
It's so deep I don't think that I can speak about it.
It could take me all of my life,
But it would only take a moment to
Tell you what I'm feeling,
But I don't know if I'm ready yet.
You come walking into this room
Like you're walking into my arms.
What would I do without you?
Take away the love and the anger,
And a little piece of hope holding us together.
Looking for a moment that'll never happen,
Living in the gap between past and future.
Take away the stone and the timber,
And a little piece of rope won't hold it together.
If you can't tell your sister,
If you can't tell a priest,
'Cause it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it
To anyone,
Can you tell it to your heart?
Can you find it in your heart
To let go of these feelings
Like a bell to a Southerly wind?
We could be like two strings beating,
Speaking in sympathy...
What would we do without you?
Two strings speak in sympathy.
Take away the love and the anger,
And a little piece of hope holding us together.
Looking for a moment that'll never happen,
Living in the gap between past and future.
Take away the stone and the timber,
And a little piece of rope won't hold it together.
We're building a house of the future together.
(What would we do without you?)
Well, if it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it,
Just remember to reach out and touch the past and the future.
Well, if it's so deep you don't think you can speak about it,
Don't ever think that you can't change the past and the future.
You might not, not think so now,
But just you wait and see--someone will come to help you.
"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
Ever seen a blind man cross the road
Trying to make the other side?
Ever seen a young girl growing old
Trying to make herself a bride?
So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
Once I was a young man
And all I thought I had to do was smile
Well you are still a young girl
And you've bought everything in style
So once you think you're in you're out
'Cause you don't mean a single thing without
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And drink a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake 'em all in a pie
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
"Isn't something missing?"
You won't cry for my absence, I know
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn't something missing?
Even though I'm the sacrifice,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
We're all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
I breathe deep and cry out,
"Isn't something missing?"
And if I bleed,
I'll bleed knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you,
I'll wake without you there.
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
it's finally here and i'm a mess. farewell to the finger.
thanks for the memories.
now you're ringing out slowly, like cathedral bells
and you'd sleep through heaven
just to get to hell
now you drop away slowly
like the autumn leaves
but you lose your color
when you hit the street
when you hit the street
when you hit the street....
Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother, do you think they'll like this song?
Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Mother, should I build the wall?
Mother, should I run for President?
Mother, should I trust the government?
Mother, will they put me in the firing line?
Is it just a waste of time?
Roger Walters tears down and build that Wall here in S Florida, Miami tonight and tomorrow.

the damage is done, the prodigal son is too late..

Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Her legs spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed Everything...
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be...yeah...
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why
Can't it be, can't it be mine
Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town?
We danced and sang as the music played in any boomtown.
This town (town) is going like a ghost town.
Why must the youth fight against themselves?
Government leaving the youth on the shelf.
This place (town) is coming like a ghost town.
No job to be found in this country.
Can't go on no more.
People getting angry.

Bodies fill the fields I see, hungry heroes end
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
Running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be
A servant `til I fall
Soldier boy, made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
Do just as we say
Finished here, Greeting Death
He's yours to take away
Back to the front
You will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
You coward
You servant
You blindman
Barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now
Sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you wear, glory seeker trends
Bodies fill the fields I see
The slaughter never ends
Why, Am I dying?
Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying
Hell, Hell is here
I was born for dying
Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say
had no chance to see myself, molded day by day
Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
left to die with only friend
Alone I clench my gun

Well i sit inside my house, inside my room, inside my head,
And the tv's sayin' somethin' but i never notice what it says,
‘cause i’m drifting through a dream, it seems the witch doctor's stole the bed,
And he’s painting a newborn baby’s face while we play the reds.
And look at don quixote, pistol and a piano on his spread.
And the sky lights growin’ vines, but this time the god, it’s never dead
So the headlines read "coffins coming home", you know they sent u.s. fed ex.
And, man, these visions bloom inside my room, inside my head
So come, step on inside
If you’re up for the ride,
Cause your sight has grown old and gray,
They all the follow the leader,
While she was leading,
And they never knew the way
And never judge a book by its cover,
And you don’t believe everything you’ve read
Well, that’s too, too many rules to fool the new independent heads,
They’re too busy reading this month’s magazine,
To know what to do and what to say
And, man, these vivid dreams aren’t all i see inside my head
So come, step on inside
If you’re up for the ride,
Cause your sight has grown old and gray,
They all the follow the leader,
While she was leading,
And they never knew the way
So, man, i leave that ladyfinger on the burner while you’re there
Cause i’m sitting at the table, under the hail of this candle chandelier.
Man, all our friends are floatin’, there’s no ladders over here
And the lunar eclipse turn ‘round and flip, but gravity's the least of my fears.
And the lights from above start to flutter
and you might try to fight that flickerin'...
and then you sit back inside and let the ghost shed your eyes,
sigh and"this might be the beginning of the end
do do do do do...- and that ain't all.
And my mind - it's alright, it's just racin'...
it's been racin' on these shoulders for a life time or two.
But I can sit back inside
and let it rest for awhile
and stare straight through the walls
and walk through you.
do do do do do...- and that ain't all.
And these lights, they to bright, but they move me...
from here to there, to here to there, and then maybe back home.
And honey, I don't give a flyin' fuck if you want to try to save me,
cause I'll be doing fine here on my own.
do do do do do...-
Hit the road jack and don't look back
cause salvation got ya in her palm.
And you know that it's a lie if you're not afraid to die.
But hey, it's okay it's the same anyway... and everything's brand new.
"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
yeah i heard the other day man
Jimmy said Toby passed away man and for a second I was almost surprised
and when it finally sank in man I almost smirked a grin man,
cuz i knew he was finally satisfied
and I remember him reading them labels off the pills, off the chinese coffee table
but I really dont remember a time when he was alive
and Im sure God passed through his head man
as Toby lie there dead man
after cooking up a 20 for a breath of fresh air
and his dream slipped so sweet. off his last needle nosed peak
and no more counting days like counting burns on your sheets
and I say baby baby baby, just dont worry anymore
i said baby, baby, baby, just dont worry anymore
cuz i know its a pain in the ass
crusin town for a bit of scratch
and that rent money you stole, well hey man you can keep that
I remember 13th and Washington man
VCR in your right hand
man, what a picture perfect day
and we had spaghetti at Lukes man
and whod sell us a bundle of juice man
we always knew the eagle would finally fly away
and we never seemed to have any cash
even until your two year olds nephews credit card got passed
I remember nudging you every 30 minutes just to see if you'd awake
and Im sorry we couldnt come man
but funerals, ain't never fun man
I think we buried you a long time ago
Up in Philly
And all these talks of Joshua's tree
and you sayin' that your gonna be free
and the thing I miss most man, is your bad company
and I said baby, baby, baby, just dont worry anymore
I said baby baby baby, just dont worry anymore
cuz i know its a pain in the ass
cruisin town for that bit of scratch
and the rent money you stole, well, hey man you can keep that
"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
Well it finally seems like life’s complete
These cash filled crooked smiles of the American dream
Circles through your head
As you’re lying there
You rub your fucking cock so you can prove you’re not dead
And night burns brighter than day
But you burn your last thoughts of the dreamers you said
And these sheets man they stink
You haven’t left em for weeks
And drownin seems so pleasant when you know how to sink awww baby
It makes no difference to me
Awwww baby.
It makes no difference to me
And rather than realizing that life despite the countless tumbles
That turned into your vice
And in time you don’t even know how to get off your fuckin’ knees
You’d rather bitch about the hard times and man I’m still searching for some good ones of mine
But in searchin you should never sell out your dreams
Not even for conviencies
And man I’m not tryin to tell you how to run your life
Telling you what’s wrong and what’s right
Coz man, I’ve got plenty of wrongs and rights within me…..
So go ahead, forget what I said
Crumple yourself up like a tissue in bed
With a head full of dreams and maybe those dreams will come true
You know man, I guess we’ll see
And Baby, it makes no difference to me
Awwww baby…
It makes no difference to me
And you know man, you say the night life
Sure ain’t the good life
But you know man,
This is my life, And this life, man,
You know it’s good enough for me….
And sometimes man it’s fight or flight
And after beatles it’s fight or flight
And after night, sometimes the latter
seems like the perfect place to be
but it always seems when things are looking up
and with seeing how things couldn’t get much more fucked
But to be honest, at least I’ve got some good company
And so man everyone wants to make a buck from time to time
Everyone eventually gets fucked
But when the luck runs out I promise you this
I ain’t gonna fuckin sit back and plead
Cos baby, this is my life
And everything else man, it makes no difference to me
And man, that’s your life do what the fuck you need to do with it man
But to be honest it makes no difference to me…

don't these silly monkeys know that eden has enough to go around
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you now
You got someone to blame
You say...
One love
One life
When it's one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Don't care for it
Did I disappoint you
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's...
Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one, but we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
One...life
One
Wish you were here...
♥~RIP Dad
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
It's so deep I don't think that I can speak about it.
It could take me all of my life,
But it would only take a moment to
Tell you what I'm feeling,
But I don't know if I'm ready yet.
You come walking into this room
Like you're walking into my arms.
What would I do without you?
Take away the love and the anger,
And a little piece of hope holding us together.
Looking for a moment that'll never happen,
Living in the gap between past and future.
Take away the stone and the timber,
And a little piece of rope won't hold it together.
If you can't tell your sister,
If you can't tell a priest,
'Cause it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it
To anyone,
Can you tell it to your heart?
Can you find it in your heart
To let go of these feelings
Like a bell to a Southerly wind?
We could be like two strings beating,
Speaking in sympathy...
What would we do without you?
Two strings speak in sympathy.
Take away the love and the anger,
And a little piece of hope holding us together.
Looking for a moment that'll never happen,
Living in the gap between past and future.
Take away the stone and the timber,
And a little piece of rope won't hold it together.
We're building a house of the future together.
(What would we do without you?)
Well, if it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it,
Just remember to reach out and touch the past and the future.
Well, if it's so deep you don't think you can speak about it,
Don't ever think that you can't change the past and the future.
You might not, not think so now,
But just you wait and see--someone will come to help you.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Trying to make the other side?
Ever seen a young girl growing old
Trying to make herself a bride?
So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
Once I was a young man
And all I thought I had to do was smile
Well you are still a young girl
And you've bought everything in style
So once you think you're in you're out
'Cause you don't mean a single thing without
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And drink a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake 'em all in a pie
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy
They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the gladrags
That your poor old Grandad had to sweat to buy you
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."

But I won't be home again.
Maybe someday you'll look up

Please, please forgive me,
But I won't be home again.
I know what you do to yourself,
I breathe deep and cry out,
"Isn't something missing?"
And if I bleed,
I'll bleed knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you,
I'll wake without you there.
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?
thanks for the memories.
now you're ringing out slowly, like cathedral bells
and you'd sleep through heaven
just to get to hell
now you drop away slowly
like the autumn leaves
but you lose your color

Mother, do you think they'll like this song?
Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Mother, should I build the wall?
Mother, should I run for President?
Mother, should I trust the government?
Mother, will they put me in the firing line?
Is it just a waste of time?

come down is calling...
but I'm ONE.
hell yeah. and thank you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away from the pain
Send my credentials to the house of detention
Theres somethin' lucky about this place
There's somethin' good comin'
For you and me
Somethin' good comin
There has to be
now he's just known as a cheat...
and he wish he'd had a mirror; looked a little clearer,
seen into the eyes of the weak...
Tomorrow comes, sorow becomes his soul mate,
the damage is done, the prodigal son is too late..
old doors are closed but he's always open,
to relive time in his mind....
And I saw it in the sky
And I thought it was the end
And I thought it was the 4th of July
Send my credentials to the house of detention
Those many years ago?
What were all those plans we made
Now left beside the road?
Behind us in the road
More than friends I always pledged
Cause friends they come and go
People change as does everything
I wanted to grow old
Just want to grow old
Slide on next to me
I’m just a human being
I will take the blame
Bust just the same
This is not me
You see
Believe
I’m better than this
Don’t leave me so cold
Or buried beneath the stones
I just want to hold on
And know I’m worth your love
Enough
I don’t think
There’s such a thing
It’s my fault, Now I been caught
A sickness in my bones
How it pains to leave you here
With the kids on your own
Just don’t let me go
Help me see myself
Cause I can no longer tell
Looking out from the inside of
The bottom of a well
I yell
It’s hell
But no one hears
Before I disappear
Whisper in my ear
Give me something to echo
In my unknown futures ear
My dear
The End
Comes near
I’m here
But not much longer
"Forgive every being,
the bad feelings
it's just me"
Her legs spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed Everything...
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll be...yeah...
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why, why, why
Can't it be, can't it be mine
Wish you were here...

when it's best to shoot it
cos it's quick
and it eases the pain.
when a marriage is dying
tell me who does the firing?
and who is to say
who's to blame?
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
We danced and sang as the music played in any boomtown.
This town (town) is going like a ghost town.
Why must the youth fight against themselves?
Government leaving the youth on the shelf.
This place (town) is coming like a ghost town.
No job to be found in this country.
Can't go on no more.
People getting angry.

I'll say it too
You've got a new favorite...
Why do you lie about love ??
I saw the light go out....
and should I go
you won't say so
I know its true
I know you've got a new favorite....
No one to play soldier now, no one to pretend
Running blind through killing fields, bred to kill them all
Victim of what said should be
A servant `til I fall
Soldier boy, made of clay
Now an empty shell
Twenty one, only son
but he served us well
Bred to kill, not to care
Do just as we say
Finished here, Greeting Death
He's yours to take away
Back to the front
You will do what I say, when I say
Back to the front
You will die when I say, you must die
Back to the front
You coward
You servant
You blindman
Barking of machinegun fire, does nothing to me now
Sounding of the clock that ticks, get used to it somehow
More a man, more stripes you wear, glory seeker trends
Bodies fill the fields I see
The slaughter never ends
Why, Am I dying?
Kill, have no fear
Lie, live off lying
Hell, Hell is here
I was born for dying
Life planned out before my birth, nothing could I say
had no chance to see myself, molded day by day
Looking back I realize, nothing have I done
left to die with only friend
Alone I clench my gun
Peace

you gotta be someone you love
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
And what did you hear, my darling young one ?
I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin'
I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world
I heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin'
I heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin'
I heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin'
Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
And the tv's sayin' somethin' but i never notice what it says,
‘cause i’m drifting through a dream, it seems the witch doctor's stole the bed,
And he’s painting a newborn baby’s face while we play the reds.
And look at don quixote, pistol and a piano on his spread.
And the sky lights growin’ vines, but this time the god, it’s never dead
So the headlines read "coffins coming home", you know they sent u.s. fed ex.
And, man, these visions bloom inside my room, inside my head
So come, step on inside
If you’re up for the ride,
Cause your sight has grown old and gray,
They all the follow the leader,
While she was leading,
And they never knew the way
And never judge a book by its cover,
And you don’t believe everything you’ve read
Well, that’s too, too many rules to fool the new independent heads,
They’re too busy reading this month’s magazine,
To know what to do and what to say
And, man, these vivid dreams aren’t all i see inside my head
So come, step on inside
If you’re up for the ride,
Cause your sight has grown old and gray,
They all the follow the leader,
While she was leading,
And they never knew the way
So, man, i leave that ladyfinger on the burner while you’re there
Cause i’m sitting at the table, under the hail of this candle chandelier.
Man, all our friends are floatin’, there’s no ladders over here
And the lunar eclipse turn ‘round and flip, but gravity's the least of my fears.

"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
And the lights from above start to flutter
and you might try to fight that flickerin'...
and then you sit back inside and let the ghost shed your eyes,
sigh and"this might be the beginning of the end
do do do do do...- and that ain't all.
And my mind - it's alright, it's just racin'...
it's been racin' on these shoulders for a life time or two.
But I can sit back inside
and let it rest for awhile
and stare straight through the walls
and walk through you.
do do do do do...- and that ain't all.
And these lights, they to bright, but they move me...
from here to there, to here to there, and then maybe back home.
And honey, I don't give a flyin' fuck if you want to try to save me,
cause I'll be doing fine here on my own.
do do do do do...-
Hit the road jack and don't look back
cause salvation got ya in her palm.
And you know that it's a lie if you're not afraid to die.
But hey, it's okay it's the same anyway... and everything's brand new.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
TOBY

yeah i heard the other day man
Jimmy said Toby passed away man and for a second I was almost surprised
and when it finally sank in man I almost smirked a grin man,
cuz i knew he was finally satisfied
and I remember him reading them labels off the pills, off the chinese coffee table
but I really dont remember a time when he was alive
and Im sure God passed through his head man
as Toby lie there dead man
after cooking up a 20 for a breath of fresh air
and his dream slipped so sweet. off his last needle nosed peak
and no more counting days like counting burns on your sheets
and I say baby baby baby, just dont worry anymore
i said baby, baby, baby, just dont worry anymore
cuz i know its a pain in the ass
crusin town for a bit of scratch
and that rent money you stole, well hey man you can keep that
I remember 13th and Washington man
VCR in your right hand
man, what a picture perfect day
and we had spaghetti at Lukes man
and whod sell us a bundle of juice man
we always knew the eagle would finally fly away
and we never seemed to have any cash
even until your two year olds nephews credit card got passed
I remember nudging you every 30 minutes just to see if you'd awake
and Im sorry we couldnt come man
but funerals, ain't never fun man
I think we buried you a long time ago
Up in Philly
And all these talks of Joshua's tree
and you sayin' that your gonna be free
and the thing I miss most man, is your bad company
and I said baby, baby, baby, just dont worry anymore
I said baby baby baby, just dont worry anymore
cuz i know its a pain in the ass
cruisin town for that bit of scratch
and the rent money you stole, well, hey man you can keep that
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."

Well it finally seems like life’s complete
These cash filled crooked smiles of the American dream
Circles through your head
As you’re lying there
You rub your fucking cock so you can prove you’re not dead
And night burns brighter than day
But you burn your last thoughts of the dreamers you said
And these sheets man they stink
You haven’t left em for weeks
And drownin seems so pleasant when you know how to sink awww baby
It makes no difference to me
Awwww baby.
It makes no difference to me
And rather than realizing that life despite the countless tumbles
That turned into your vice
And in time you don’t even know how to get off your fuckin’ knees
You’d rather bitch about the hard times and man I’m still searching for some good ones of mine
But in searchin you should never sell out your dreams
Not even for conviencies
And man I’m not tryin to tell you how to run your life
Telling you what’s wrong and what’s right
Coz man, I’ve got plenty of wrongs and rights within me…..
So go ahead, forget what I said
Crumple yourself up like a tissue in bed
With a head full of dreams and maybe those dreams will come true
You know man, I guess we’ll see
And Baby, it makes no difference to me
Awwww baby…
It makes no difference to me
And you know man, you say the night life
Sure ain’t the good life
But you know man,
This is my life, And this life, man,
You know it’s good enough for me….
And sometimes man it’s fight or flight
And after beatles it’s fight or flight
And after night, sometimes the latter
seems like the perfect place to be
but it always seems when things are looking up
and with seeing how things couldn’t get much more fucked
But to be honest, at least I’ve got some good company
And so man everyone wants to make a buck from time to time
Everyone eventually gets fucked
But when the luck runs out I promise you this
I ain’t gonna fuckin sit back and plead
Cos baby, this is my life
And everything else man, it makes no difference to me
And man, that’s your life do what the fuck you need to do with it man
But to be honest it makes no difference to me…
