Impropriety
02:34

|

to every country with all due respect
to any color creed or dialect
to every soldier that died in battle
to every man and his castle
to every penny pinching asshole
that can sit and watch it all topple
from top to bottom beginning to end communism
to freedom shit
i can assure you it still exists
struggle for life in a free society
we want a fascist free society
why can't you stop this impropriety
to every mother with all due respect
to every father and son conflict
to every goddamn day fought in battle
to every boy and his castle
to every cop i ever hassled
that has sat and watched it all crumble
from the tallest mountain
from sea to shinning sea
still we're not free
we never will be
and i'm sure it will never exist
so go ahead and struggle for a free society

Cement sidewalk
02:45
|
|

that was then, this is now
could you imagine, in those great old western days
cement sidewalk, signs that say "stop"
fancy colored playgrounds, great big freeways
kids that say "eat shit" and flip you off
well this is what it all boils down to
one eye open at all times
while the other keeps a watch on you
all i can say
i'm sorry i can't help you
'cause you got no shoes
and you smell like a bum and all i can say is
time has grown up all around you
i'm sorry to say
it's all grown without you
could you imagine, in those great old western days
smog-filled suburbs, "frito lays"
sky scrapping towers in the middle of town
paper airplanes and cigarette-butts
that cover the ground
well this is what it all boils down to
a stab in the back, a kick in the pants
and a free ride downtown
as you pass by the nuclear plant

A lonely portion
01:42
|
|
||
the hurt, the pain, the agony i cause
my weakness and my sympathetic flaws
my friends, my family, work and my boss
time, stress, failure, disease, the things i cross
2/3 of this world has gone completely mad
2/3 of "Jordan" now isn't that sad
what a way to go
what a way to be
the struggle, the battle, the fight for time
for hate, for love, the games and puzzles
the money, the poverty, the glory
i've got no life
i've got no booze
i've got the midnight fuckin' blues
the midnight blues

Nine digit
02:19
|
|
||
my thoughts of you are receding
like the untold stories
i've never heard before
like the big brother i never had
you watch me like a hawk, my every move
you have my name but it's not enough for you
so i'm given a number like everyone else
you've got the lock-jaw system
and it's true, that i'll never escape from you
nine digits is all i have
and it's not enough to keep me away from you
my thoughts of you are receding
like the hair that grows on molded cheese
if you think it's "nine-digit"
will screw up your scene
then you've got more problems than you think
do all you can to shut me up, to put me down
black out all the naughty things it's true
but you'll never, yeah it's true,
censorship me

Cause
02:21
|
|
||
i can't believe all the things you do
it's hard to believe that someone like you
can call yourself human
like a show on broadway
you follow the spotlight
that's everywhere but on you
'cause the things you do
cause so much pain and fuck,
the things you say are so goddamn vain
so many times
we could get along
but now it seems as though
something is wrong
and maybe it is you
or maybe it is me
through all the pain
i've learn something i can't explain
i can't explain
something humane
to someone so vain
to someone like you

Why not... (they did)
02:53
|
|
||
Do you ever have that feeling when everything seems wrong
And you just wanna sit back and cry
You know that feeling whan that cloud lingers high
And all you wanna do is die
And you know it's all gonna be alright
When you see that sunshine
Why can't the sun just always shine
And if it's not enough,
A moment is a million years
There's a fine line, between life and death
Love and hate, first and last breath
And where the hell's that sun of mine
Why not... they did
Do you ever have that feeling when everything seems wrong
And you just seem to get things right
You know that feeling when you see that sunrise
And all you wanna do is cry
And you know it's all gonna be alright
Now you've seen that sunshine
Why can't the sun just always shine
Take away this pain of mine
Cause my life is on the line

Throw in the towel
01:53
|
|
||
oh how the life is one great big chore
there's so many things we can't ignore
we have to pay the bills
remember dates
and climb great big hills
just to make things great
oh, and when i open that great big door
reality just kicks me to the floor
and everything we see
is just one great big fantasy
we all wanna be rich
and never pay the bills
we all wanna shit
and never have to wipe, no,
it just ain't right
and never comes the night
you must brush your teeth
turn out the light
and have hectic dreams
(it's just the way life goes)
wanna ring the bell
throw in the towel, but no
it's just the way life...goes
oh, how the life is one great big chore
the chaos and how it never seems to end
but no, we're all grown up now
we can't give up now

Booze
01:14
|
|
||
my luck is down
and it's a clear, clear night
so i step outside
and chase the light
as it speeds across
the darkened sky
the sky is falling
the sky is falling
down upon this earth
a struggling fight
one wish i will try
if it means all of my life
my booze on top
overlooking the night
stars twinkle down
upon our earth, a glorious town
infinite direction
infinite light
infinite dark
infinite bums in the dark
to think i was almost one
i've got the midnight blues
fucked up genes
and dirty shoes
i've got no life
i've got no booze
i've got the midnight fuckin' blues
the midnight blues

Opposition
02:02

life's a contrast
you're either dead or alive
life's a contrast
it's either day or night
except when it is twilight
sun or moon, it doesn't matter
hot or cold always disaster
rain or shine, shallow or master
'cause we're all good and glad
and you're all hurt and sad
if you, just can't believe that...
life's a contrast
there's no inbetweens
you're either round or square
it's a mystery
life's a butt-face contrast
life's a fuckin' contrast
always number one or none
you're either rich or bummed
there's no time to change
don't you think it's strange
things just never seem to change
when standing in the shade
don't you think it's strange
...so strange that...

Memories of you
02:07
|
|
||
wherever were you when time begun
and where the hell were you when i was young
well i bet you were out drinkin' at the bar
while mom was givin' birth to me in the car
there once was a time when i was in need
but i think you were out sniffin' speed
and i bet now that you're old and weak
you wish you had your son to speak
the memories of you are so far
i've bottled them all up in a jar
so that one may see your wasteful time
yet never contract your piece of mind
i don't think you'll ever understand
how much you were in demand
strangely enough, i love you
and i don't think you'll ever understand
how much you were in demand
if you knew and couldn't tell
i hope you burn in hell
wherever were you when time begun
and were the hell were you when i was young
i can almost imagine those days with you
playin' baseball and shootin' some hoop
i can almost picture the way you looked
as i remember the time you read my book
a time when i never missed you
the time when i had much trust in you
but as i clear my hazy eyes
remember all your bullshit lies
and how you walked all over mom
and now you're gone

The soft song
02:57
|
|
||
You stop in shock and confusion
And wonder what the hell is goin' on
With a generation so full of hate
And aggression, what' goin' on?
Your tension span's the length of an ant
And there you sit watching MTV
People twist and turn and shout
around you
Cluttering your mind and
making you crazy
It's makin' you crazy
I just want out
I don't wanna be here
I hate this life
I hate this confusion
They're comin' to get you
They're comin' to take you
They're comin' to shred your mind apart
And everyone clutters
the street corner
To watch the violence
that's corrupting society
But no one cares to, no
one dares to
Step a foot in the mess
Without gettin' dirt on their toes
And everyone clutters the
dopeman's house
After a raid, but no one, not a sole
Dares to clutter himself there alone
A single sole for the price of a million deaths
Who's to blame, the next time you
ask yourself
Who's to blame, who's to blame!?

Drippings of the past
02:15
|
|

time, is like a burning candle flaming with light
drippings of the past surround our future
life, leaving only residue behind
the flame, the heart, the wick, the brain
the wax that covers it all
protecting all the vital organs of time to come
as time melts away,
as so does nature's course
a force, even a burning flame cannot escape
time, candle like man's birth
created for life on earth
every memory takes form as does melted wax
some memories they hang
the others, they only fall
the flame, the heart, the wick, the brain
the wax, protected all
now nothing is left, but the organs of our lives
a force, even a burning candle cannot escape!
life is like a burning candle
just waiting to melt away
