state of the world

the world is not lost
we can turn around still
we could burn it down
keep our towns still
but somethings not working
its clear all around here
the haze has been building
we can’t see the ground here
and how can we drink it
if we know that we’re downstream
from the money making building
where everything is brown still
it’s impossible now
to live off this land
greedy corporations
have all played a hand
the landlord wants more
and so ive got a plan
so lets burn all our cash
and just live in my van
the world is not lost
we’ve got miles to go still
or we could go home
i still feel hopeful
if and if that dont work out
we’ll move to the country
and built our own house
at least we’ll have something
to hang over our heads
when winter starts dumping
and when we get hungry
i guess we’ll go hunting
and what will we tell them
when somebody comes here
and says that they’re a drummer
and we already have one here
well im sure we’ll still take em
it will all become clear
that there’s enough bacon
to feed everyone here
the world is not lost
we’ve got the ground still
and we’ve got each other
at least you’re around still
and we won’t become
like everyone else
selling their souls
living for themselves
i’ll call you my family
if you call me your friend
you don’t have to ask me
you know what i meant
but feel free to question
if things don’t make sense
some shit might go down
and in that event
dont cling to me close
or go where you’re sent
just fight with your claws
and speak with your chest
my hope is not lost
that things could still shake out
but maybe we should hold hands
in case we don’t it make it
out

capitol
02:53
|
|||
|
theres a sign in your face
it says you should buy
how can you win the race
if you don’t even try
you have to get first place
no time to wonder why
and you get so worked up
that you just start to cry
and it’s not your fault
what your heart wants
is at odds with the state
but you dont wanna die
the process eliminates
theres no other reason why
its clear bright as day
that you have to get by
and you get so worked up
that you just start to cry
because
there’s just some things
we have to know
and so lets march down to
the capitol
they say “how can we change
you know we’ve never even tried
and besides you’re insane
everything you think is lies
so lets just play this game
and you dont you ever ask me why”
and you get so worked up
that you just start to cry
and they think its best
not to control this mess
and so there’s guns abound
you better watch your eye
dont you dare look around
they’ll remind ya you’re alive
you’ll get used to the sounds
of when your friends die
and you’ll get so worked up
that you’ll just start to cry
because
there’s just some things
we have to know
and so lets march down to
the capitol
they say you’ll carry to term
or we’ll lock you away
but they don’t give a damn
in nine months and a day
and they don’t give a fuck
if your life’s on the line
don’t you get so worked up
that you just start to cry
cuz there’s things to do
rebuild the world anew
cuz there’s no sense acting weak
when that’s how you’re perceived
punch em right in the teeth
drag em out in the street
do whatever you must
for to retain your rights
just dont get so worked up
that you just start to cry
because there’s just some things
they have to know
so let’s march down to
the capitol

cops freak me out
03:02
|
|||
|
the cops freak me out
and yeah i break the law
but the law is unjust
and its not my fault
the cops freak me out
why are they parked right there
shut up why do you care
well they might remember my hair
and i can tell from their stares
that they can smell in the air
we’ve been breaking from DARE
i really doubt that they care
hurry lets break for the stairs
hey what just happened back there
you looked so senseless and scared
why would you run from the cops
thats just suspicious as fuck
i think that was the same one
that i saw last month
when i was smoking out front
he killed that kid with his gun
the cops freak me out
and yeah i break the law
but the law is unjust
and its not my fault
the cops freak me out
i was just smoking outside
and they ran right by
chasing a kid with a knife
and i was scared for my life
not from the kid with the knife
i saw their guns in the light
from the street signs it was night
so i ducked out of their sight
i watched him run for his life
i watched him slip on the ice
instead of kicking the knife
they started kicking his spine
i started losing my mind
i tried to run inside
but i stepped in the light
they yelled out come back outside
the cops freak me out
and yeah i break the law
but the law is unjust
and its not my fault
the cops freak me out
they’re always across the street
maybe they’re getting chinese
i think theyre watching me
to catch me smoking weed
they wanna bother me
and take all my ecstasy
then they will sentence me
and they will make me clean
thats if it gets that far
what if we get to the car
and it is late and its dark
and they drive out to the park
what if they laugh and they start
pointing their guns at my heart
i plead im young and im smart
but the barrels still spark
the cops freak me out
and yeah i break the law
but the law is unjust
and its not my fault
the cops freak me out

and tell me your lies
do you really think
i still believe?
you’ve been actin so tough
it’s really all a bluff
inside you really
are so weak
why don’t you give it up?
there’s a whole lotta love
waitin for ya
next to me
well im sorry i’ve been yelling
you get worked up as well and
theres really no
getting through
if i could only make one sound
it’d be the one that’d keep you around
otherwise i dont know
what id do
because you keep me alive
just like my trusty knives
none of them are quite
as sharp as you
so if this is over
ill take the four leaf clover
and lets go back
to school

getting high behind the hardware store
a cop drives by i dont care anymore
my dreams are dead my back is sore
if i get fired i dont care anymore
22 and feeling gloomy
dropped out to make a movie
theres 36 bags of fertilizer
4 grills and a burning fire
in my neck when i try to swallow
my chest feels weak and hollow
i spent last last night at the muni
you can see it pouring through me
ive done some things that im not proud of
everyone has dont feel down
it’s a conversation heard out loud
over cigarettes and highway sounds
the same sounds that im hearing now
it never ends this side of town
it never ends this side of town

as good as you
01:26
|
|||
|
i may not be as good as you
but im trying just as hard
you may not know my name right now
but you will before too long
i got a plan written in my head
but i don’t think i’ll get that far
i forgot everything you’ve said
the only thing that hear is my heart
my hands are dripping with sweat
as i lay em down on top of the bar
and i think i need a cigarette
if to only see where you are

amour fou
02:21
|
|||
|
remember when
is the lowest form of conversation
ive been in bed
watching with morbid fascination
amour fou
we both know that i want you
is it the light
or the heat that makes me fight
to keep my place
or to not scream in your face
i keep my cool
thats how a real made man moves
amour fou
may the fire bind us two
amour fou
may the fire bind us two
like tony said
i do not fear assassination
kill the head
there are bodies you’ll be facing
amour fou
i am running out of patience
i need you
like a forged financial statement
that says i do
something boring on the daily
when im with you
countin dirty cash with my baby
amour fou
may the fire bind us two
amour fou
may the fire bind us two
we go to eat
at our favorite restaurant
who’s to say
what is next or whats to come
you hold my hand
we’ve got a plan to make it out
out of the state
and this crime infested house
i look around
something caught my eye just now
look back down
dont see a thing or hear a sound

water
01:38
|
|||
|
there is water
above and below us
and it is better
if we dont lose our focus
she’s here again
the lady of the lake
and she’s searching
for something she can take
and i can’t swim
but if i have to i will try
just hold my hand
i will not let you die
and we can make it
but for now lets just lie
in this bed naked
as the water hits our sides
i still love you
and i will forever long
i still love you
as we drown in this pond
and if we surface
we’ll come to in the bay
cuz we’ve got each other
and thats all that it takes
and i’ll try the chest pumps
i’ll try hard to clear your lungs
with what they taught me
years ago when i was young
and it’d be sickening
just staring at your face
id swear youre dying
id wish i could take your place
but you’d start coughing
and you’d say “are you okay”
and i’d start laughing
ha ha ha hey hey hey

never make a dollar
03:20
|
|||
|
they said i’d never make a dollar
off of that shit
but one day i’ll be singing
in a mansion
okay
guitar really takes a lot
of failure
but you gotta keep trying
for them to hail ya
they asked me if i sing
i say hell yeah
just maybe not the singing
that you’re used to
they said i’d never make a dollar
off of that shit
but one day i’ll be singing
in a mansion
they said i’d never make a dollar
off of that shit
but one day i’ll be singing
in a mansion
and you know
rhyming really takes a lot
of patience
for the perfect words to fall into
their places
it’s not a gift that can be taught
or taken
my advice for you is just to have
some patience
they said i’d never make a dollar
out of that shit
but one day i’ll be rhyming
in a mansion
they said i’d never make a dollar
out of that shit
but one day i’ll be rhyming
in a mansion
ok now
preparing really took a lot
of practice

one of my kind (cover)
02:56
|

|
I can't live in this city
But I was born here
And I know all these people
Where they went to high school
Where they got their angle
Here they waited tables
Still call me brother
Like Cain and Abel
There, see all those old men
How'd they get so swollen?
I got so many broke friends
Who say I owe them
From when we were children
How did it happen?
Where is it going?
Is that your question, man?
Where does all your frustration lie?
Why are you pulling out your hair at night?
Just try and have a good time
All the rest aside
You're still one of my kind
I can't think in this city
But I remember
I know every story that it ever told me
Well, I got the blueprint
To create my own myth
That's what made it tragic
Like a summer snowdrift
Yeah, going to call my first love
Meet her at the new club
Tell her all that I've done
Finally be forgiven
And get good and drunk
Like it feels you're young
There are things against us
But I will fight tooth and nail
Stand in the sickening sunshine
After staying out all night
And maybe it's the good life
All the rest aside
The rest aside
The rest aside
You're still one of my kind
I can't live in this city
But I'll probably die here
Maybe that's how you feel
Like a poisoned cornfield
Like a best friend backstabbed
An abandoned train track
We're living straight-lined
Are you one of my kind?
|
||||
11. |

|
I tell tales tall as cliffs
You've got a lisp
Kid, those things are hard to miss
Like my cripple cough
All your weekends lost by the lake
Where you said I needn't be afraid
Of all those devils on the wall
That make a fella small
When he's feelin' brave
They take his wine away
There were posters on the wall
I swear my mother saw
That I'd been up all night, up all night
And you came well-equipped
With a gun on your hip
And some poison on your lips
But when we wake up in our makeup
We'll be clean
And we won't have nowhere to be
Oh, but I can't talk to you
The way I've wanted to
I've been tellin' lies
But I'll tell you the truth
Oh, I can't talk to you
The way I've wanted to
I've been tellin' lies
But I'll tell you the truth
Darling, I'm tired
And I should be leaving, leaving
You know I'm tired
And I should be leaving, leaving tonight
Darling, I'm tired
And I should be leaving, leaving
You know I'm tired
And I should be leaving
And you'll hang like the rest
We'll leave a noose on the attorney's desk
And take to the streets
Chant like an army
And doctor up this disease
