I've finally decided to give you a piece of my mind
I've taken up an hour of space
Even printed it in braille because you're so blind
Now I'll dictate it to you one paragraph at a time

Thought I could make it through this but I know that I cannot
Feelings I once embraced are now tying me in a knot
Used to live to see your face when my blood boiled red hot
But you've become my brace all the good times we've shared I've forgot

(14) I've given you everything I've got and that's a lot
(14) Leaving you with this very last forget-me-not
(14) I guess I always knew that we were a long shot
(14) We were once a team but now it seems that I'm your mascot
(14) I feel like a rat in a race it's time to end this chase
(14) I fell for you and then we fell from grace

Because only when the people know
can they resist
Unfortunately it'll end up taking more
than silent protest
Some of us will die,
yet still we must try
Together we can

I woke up hungover and feeling depressed
Looked to my right How'd I get into this mess?
Felt something on my shoulder, got to get this weight off my chest
It seems that last night I rode the fat girl express

I was sick to my stomach, a bad taste in my mouth
I heard a noise in the bathroom the door opened and another came out
It was the middle of summer but I think I went south

---

You know you were drinking too much for too long
When you find yourself
Living in a Jimmy Buffet song
I over extended my stay in Margaritaville
I'm still wasted this morning
and will be for most of the day
[The large scribbled-out section contains faint, illegible text]
Now some people will claim
That the worm is to blame
why my brain feels like it's been scraping
asphalt
But I've gotten to know
Jose Cuervo
And we hang out together alot

too much
You know you were drinking for too long
When you find yourself living in a Jimmy
BUFFET song
I over this morning and for most of the day
extended
I'm still wasted today
my stay
In margaritaville
My brain feels like
It's been scraping asphalt
That some people claim
There's a woman to blame
The and his
worm But I know
is Jose Cuervo
to
blame

The summer's here...
That means blue skies and sunshine
Happy children...
Less work and more play time

The summer's here...
Warmer weather and more vacations
Go grab a beer...
Barbeques and celebrations

Nuclear holocaust
The end of time is near
The missiles are approaching
As people tremble in fear

---

I'm becoming a big fan
Of a guy who's barely five feet tall
He's a man that's making a stand
While all his friends play wideo games
And then go hang out at the mall

Ethan is a thirteen year old boy
Who's probably never even kissed a girl
He's a singer who plays a mean guitar
And he writes songs about changing the world

Daddy said Son it's nice to see you
Just what brings you around this way?
Sonny boy answers likewise
Ah, I'm just passing through
I'm so sorry but I can't stay

Sonny boy

I heard about an accident on the train
That I normally take
This morning I overslept
Usually I'm never late
Somewhere along the line
It seems that someone made a mistake
And after the two trains collided
There was enough blood to fill a lake
It took nearly three days
For all the cars to seperate
These next words give me reason to hesitate
On what I will now say
First I must meditate
On the other train
was my son's favorite playmate
Along with his mom
Who was seven months pregnant

---

Do I have strong enough faith
To look back in hindsight
And realize I made a mistake
Or do I pretend things are alright

Am I willing to move on
To a new phase in my life
Write her this one last song
And finally part ways with my wife

Am I willing to move on
Or will I continue to postpone
Is this really her last song
Would I be better off on my own

---

One man searches for power and riches
While his brother would settle for Fortune and Fame
Another Kind brother just wants some bling bling and bitches
And his cousin's a preacher Screaming out God's name

---

She left for work without saying goodbye
Just shook her head and then rolled her eyes
I'm not sure what I did to her
Because when you're hungover as hell
Your morning's a blur

My little black cat jumped on my bed
He looked at me and this is what he said:
He said I got to get out of this house
Get up open up the door and let me out

---

6 I scared myself today
7 Seeing the world in a whole new way
6 I scared myself today
9 With a maze of words I couldn't say
9 For a whole day I didn't complain

GILLIAN GALES - THE GIRL WITH A DREAMY DEEP TAN
They said
It was a sign to have a dreamy deep tan
But I only wanted to paddle back to sea
They said
It was a sign of the girl with the deep tan
And so I had the secret of the escape
But it's fine, it's fine, it's fine
It's just the girl with the favorite
But I guess the girl really wants a

AMONGST MEN by Tom Jensen
You fell in love
But she left a ten
Now you're wondering
What if you went back again.

Would you look her up
Just to fix her hot friend?
Yeah, that's the question
Most asked amongst men

You keep putting yourself
Straight through the ringer
Falling in love
With those f-cked up singers

When you've already heard the story
As you count the fallen seeking glory

HIS
WORTH THE WAIT (JD SONG)
By the time that I got to my paper
My pen was too tired to write
My eyes they started missing
And then I lost my sight
And I think I'm doing it
And what I was thinking of
It had something to do with you
And it had something to do with love
Hah hah hah hah
The words all round the same
Ha ha ha ha
Even silence sings your name
Na na na na
There's no one I blame
La la la la
I'm just so happy that you came
Make the best promise
Make the best great inside
But I wasn't waiting much much longer
And though I've never been good at predicting fate

CANDY RAPPER SUPERSTAR
By Bryan Rainstorm
first let us toast to
The jam
Gonna spit it out of my mouth
as fast as I can
Like it's a peanut Eminem
Or L M N O P
Hope you can understand
And comprehend clearly

That I l-da like a rabbit
Try to fly like a maggot
Can your ears hear
Them yelling
Watch your spelling and auto-
Since my train of thought
is filled with pot
if I didn't have tracks
I'd get lost a lot

Then I'd have forgot
Where I parked
Oh yeah, over there
In the parking lot
Here's where I get off
(haha)
Then I say
"Hey, have a nice day"
(and wave ... that same fake smile on

RISK GENES
I got that bad seed in my blood
Don't have kids because they'd be fucked up....

With risk genes running
up and down the whole family tree
I'm not only fighting my environment
I'm fighting me...

Fighting history
Fighting insanity
It's no mystery
What a calamity

I only got one friend
not gone or dead
I only got perverted thoughts
inside my head

Because of my fears
I'm still here
Yeah, check back
in another year

I take bus stop candy
from strange old men
I like to visit the sauna
every now and again

Glory holes....
well glory be
Twinks, trans and hung
My chosen trinity, Yeah!!!

Who am I?
I'm a shell of my former self
All because I can't control myself
I got things I can't live without

I used to have heroes...
Who have either died...
or otherwise moved on
I used to have heroes...
But those days...
of having heroes are gone

With risk genes running up and down the whole family tree
I'm not only fighting my environment - I'm fighting me

Fighting history, fighting insanity
I only got one friend not gone or dead
I only got perverted thoughts inside my head

Because of my fears I'm still here
Yeah, check back in another year

When you stick your dick in crazy...
That very first time
It leaves you thinking maybe...
Everything will be fine...

SONG 67 CATCH A STRAY
Don't tell me to stay.
You see me leaving.
You have a good day.
We're fucking even.

Don't tell me to stay.
You see me leaving.
You have a good day.
We're fucking even.

These games I don't play.
All this deceiving.
You have a good day.
You see me leaving.

It's just me and the cat.
I don't trust anyone else.
Yeah, you drove me to that.
That would be an improvement.
Hating myself....

NOT hanging myself!
(This picture of Jeffery -
It didn't hang itself!)

It's just me and the cat,
everyone else chose the gun.
And learning Hebrew,
I admit it's not that fun.

With a lak shak lak hum, haiyam,
and shit like that.
And I can hide my bald spot
with that little hat, yeah.

My inner dialogue is trapped in a box
like a fucking mime, yeah.
They keep telling me to believe
But all I see is them robbing me
Fucking blind, yeah!

It's not by accident
the North hates the South, yeah.
Slay the whip master, no matter
This engine runs by itself!

Democrats love all strangers,
just not uncle or brother.
Republicans only love God,
No, they don't like each other!

The last president who told the truth,
his initials are now a verb.
Killed by his own CIA and probably the Jews,

Yeah. Israel first, America second,
But it could be worse.
Fake views, no, fake news.
Fake views, yeah, fake fucking everything.
Something, something, something,
so they can take everything, yeah.

Better not tell
might catch a stray.
Oh, you might get Charlie Kirk'ed
Or you might get JFK'ed....

I'm gonna be like Obama,
and there won't be no cause for a llama.
I'm gonna be like Donald J
and do everything that the Adelsons say.

Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
Do everything that the Adelson say!
Hey.
Hey.
Yeah.

I turned on CBS
and then I turned it off.
I turned on MSNBC
Grabbed my balls and coughed.

Oh, shit.
They just bought TikTok.
You might catch stray.
Better not talk.

We have more in common
Than complicity in bombing
All the starving unpeople
Suffering in the desert sand

It's gone too far south
To vote our way out
Don't have to be
A Kennedy to understand....

All our leaders are bought and paid for
by the state of Israel.
They said if you want a record deal,
then you better not tell.

NICE TITS
Nice tits!
But since I'm blind
Could I please see them with my hands?
Just let me get a grip
So I can fully comprehend and understand

BUSINESS
We do business as business is being done

POTATO
Potato is my satan
I'll eat it once you put it through hell

LAIDIES
For all you guys out there who spell the word
'Ladies' with two eyes

HUMAN BEING
Who wants to invest in a human being?
Because my soul disagrees with people who believe
That life is a game which must be one so they say
see ALL IN A DAY

NO WINTER
Music has no winter
Summertime has no soul
see ALL IN A DAY

ALL IN A DAY
I serve power nine to five
I fight power five to nine
Because music has no winter
Just like summertime has no soul

DEADLINES
What if one morning you woke up
And didn't love yourself at all
Would you bother to get of bed?
Should anyone expect a call?

TIME
The bus arrived early
The train late
I knew time was against me
As it was growing late

ORDER
I saw
I conquered
I came
The order of words is important
You'll find meanings can change

LADIES
When it comes to the ladies...
You can go gaga over GaGa
But I'll take the Weaver

THRONE
I'm a man who needs a hug
I'm a man who stands alone
Inside a hole which someone dug
And into which I was thrown

SAVING
Some people try to save lives
Others live to save coins
Some people love to watch
the sunrise late at night
or what to others is the early morn

See ALL IN A DAY

THIS MOFO
Do you really think they'd let a guy like me
Drink Crown Royal up in this mofo' ?
No!
Why?
Because I be po' yo!

NEITHER
Neither...in both I'm an underachiever
Especially with the latter
However...in love I'm still a believer
And isn't that all that really matters?

GARDEN OF FLOWERS
Whether or not to serve power
To go pulling up weeds in this garden of flowers
Or be like everyone else and when it's time to work

FODDER
Since I stopped swimming
I've barely been able to tread water
Forget losing or winning
I'm getting that sinking feeling
That I'm washed up cannon fodder

EXCEPTIONAL
I'm the exception to your rule
I haven't had six beers and one hundred years

SLAPPED
Punching the clock
Is like getting slapped in the face
Slowly wasting away the day today
Feeling ashamed and disgraced

Can't sugar coat it
Everybody knows I keep my gun loaded

MAN IN THE MOON
The sun awakes to start another day
Although we know he's never really gone away
Unlike the man in the moon who
Takes a long nap in the beginning of June
As the rings of Saturn flail all around

MY SIDE
Besides, With god on my side
Who could ever be against me?
That's why I try
To make friends of all my enemies

All the while my present friends
become my family
I let them know
just what they mean to me

WAVES
Waves...they come so many ways
I've thought a lot about that today
Drown out sorrows so they say
Crests and trophs
Are you in over your head?
Have to catch my breath again and then...

GOTTA BE
I can see an unfamiliar face
Presently looking back at me
A woman who knows her role
As she's accepted her place in society

Gotta be pretty
Gotta be witty
Doesn't matter so much about being wise

Gotta be most charming and pleasant
Gotta be inarticulately non-upsetting
Don't forget strong, sensitive and kind

ALISON'S AIRPLANE
I find my religion in the basement of churches
Never mind a pew
Here I sit trying to learn from my mistakes
God knows I've made a few
If you'd made as many as I have
Then you'd probably sit here too
Here I sit and reminisce it all
Just biding my time
By reading slogans on the wall
A higher power is what I need
Maybe something above myself can set me free
For you can only tell what you're really worth
When you realize that you're not
The center of the earth
The sun does not rise for you
No matter how much you want it to
Gravity was made for many reasons
Something to do with the tide, the sun, the moon
And the changing of the seasons
It may be true that it pulls you down
But in order to walk the road ahead
First your feet must meet the ground
Then the rest is up to you
Use your better judgment if you want to
If you choose to walk back down the road
From which you came
Don't point your finger at me
That finger of blame
Alison told me she had an airplane
And of course I didn't believe it
So I asked her to teach me how to fly
But she told me I couldn't see it
She said if you want to go for a ride
First you must know that the airplane's inside
At the time I didn't quite know
Just exactly what she meant
But now I realize that
Alison's Airplane is Heaven sent

ALCOHOL
I am a victim
Though I feel like a hero
You make me feel like number one
And yet I'm a zero
All this you put me through
And still I go back to you
What is wrong with me?
Why can't you let me be?
I saw you once, then I saw you twice
Now I see you all the time
When everything is said and done
I'm the one who pays the price
You've never treated me kind
I had to descend from the highest mountains
Just to come back to earth
Leave me climbing up the slopes of the valleys
For what any of it is worth
Still I come back to you
After all that you put me through
And I walked hand in hand
And I picked you up when you fell
I thought you were my ticket to heaven
But still I landed here in hell
Our conversations were one-sided
I never tried to hide it
You've never given me good advice
Still I come back to you
When everything is said and done
I'm the one who pays the price
Every time I try to stay away
You cross my path nearly everyday
I fight so hard to walk a straight line
I fight so hard to leave you behind
Once false step and I'm back again
No further on then where I began
Still I come back to you
After all that you put me through
I am a victim
Though I feel like a hero
You make me feel like number one
And yet I'm a zero
All this you put me through
And still I go back to you
What is wrong with me?
Why can't you let me be?
