Pickup Truck
Walked down to my pick up truck
Had to pick up some stupid stuff
Just left the grocery
What do you think is waiting for me
A mother fucking ticket on my windshield
I snatched it off and I ripped it up
Skipped work and I drove back home
Found my neighbor giving my wife the bone
Can't you see what you're doing to me
Disappointment at every turn
Walked back out to my pick up truck
Gotta get all liquored up
Heading out to the The Great Notch Inn
Got as far as Sycamore Street
A mother fucking lady come running at me
Knocked that bitch at least 50 feet
Coming to a head and it's gonna be a ride
Five years vehicular homicide
Can't you see what you're doing to me
Disappointment at every turn
All I want to do is to get straight back to you and show you what you did to me
I reside in cell block three
Tyrone he ass rapes me
Don't think I can take it here
There's no fucking way I'll last five years
Can't believe that I wasn't even drunk
Wonder what happened to my pick up truck
Maybe I'll live and I surely may die
Nothing left to do but live it and try
Can't you see what you're doing to me
Live it, Live it and Try
Disappointment at every turn
Live it, Live it and Try
All I want to do is to get straight back to you and show you what you did to me
Live it, Live it and Try
Live it, Live it and Try
And Try, And Try, And Try, And Try, And Try, And Try........
Ones and Zeros
Living on the hard drive
a virtual existence
ones and zeros
No one talks face to face anymore
Living on the hard drive
a virtual existence
ones and zeros
We all hide behind the binary door
Living on the hard drive
a virtual existence
ones and zeros
a fake life in cyberspace
Living on the hard drive
Living on the hard drive
ones and zeros
How many more lies can we take
Na na Na naa Naaa naaa Na Na
All My friends have been replaced
Na na Na naa Naaa naaa
Na na Na na Naaa
By a screen of media waste
Living on the hard drive
a virtual existence
ones and zeros
How do you see me through your pixelated world
Living on the hard drive
a virtual existence
ones and zeros
Communication Through Emoticons
Living on the hard drive
a virtual existence
ones and zeros
How Can you feel emotion through a screen
Living on the hard drive
Living on the hard drive
ones and zeros
What's the value of a three second me?
Na na Na naa Naaa Na Naaa
All My friends have been replaced
Na na Na naa Naaa naaa
Na na Na na Naaa
By the Social media waste
You Only Know if I'm Lying
When you look in my eyes
But when your blinded by digital
Ones and Zeros
Your strangled inside your mind
Na Na naa Naaa naaa Naa Naaa
Everything is going to waste
Na na Na naa Naaa naaa
Na na Na na Naaa
Hidden in a virtual space
Na na Na naa Naaa naaa Na naa
When's the last time you looked at somebody's face
Na na Na naa Naaa naaa
Na na Na na Naaa
Na Na Na Na Naa
Where can we go
This is the only place
Trees
Jon Witte time
Ah.....ah
Ah.....ah
Walking through the forest
My feet firmly on the ground
On the ground, on the ground, on the ground
I can see the past when the futures surrounded in clouds
In clouds
All this blazing beauty towering higher in the sky
In the sky
Could one one day be ashes burn't to the ground by mankind
Mankind
I really like these flowers growing so wild
Kill my land
Burn the sky
The winds blowing lightly and the sun feels mild
Boil my oceans
Till they're dry
I really like those flowers growing so high
Growing so high
Kill my land and
Burn the sky
The winds blowing light
The sun feels mild
Boil my oceans
Till they're dry
The skies and the flowers
The birds and the trees
And nature's voices
Surrounding me
As I see greed coming
For our milk and honey
Like a space age machine
On a ship made of money
Ah ah
Ah ah
Floating on the ocean
My eyes staring at the sky
I can see forever
But I hear Mother Earth cry
Cry
All these open spaces
A plentiful paradise
Paradise
Will be gone tomorrow
We'll have paid the ultimate price
Price
I really like these flowers growing so wild
Kill my land
Burn the sky
The winds blowing lightly and the sun feels mild
Boil my oceans
Till they're dry
I really like those flowers growing so high
Growing so high
Kill my land and
Burn the sky
The winds blowing lightly
The sun feels mild
Boil my oceans
Till they're dry
Ah.....ah
Till they're dry
Ah.....ah
Till they're dry
Doggy Blues
It's six in the morning
and what do I see
my ole man hanging over me
and what does he say,
you gotta walk that dog
and make him do
a pile of stink
you gotta get some responsibility
Walk Walk, Walk That Dog
Walk walk, in the smog
wait wait, choking me
Walk that dog, Walk that dog
Walk Walk, Walk That Dog
Walk walk, around that log
wait wait, a big ole turd
Wait for piss, Wait for shit
Sitting around the table
my bros's and the sis
we wink at each other
and grab that leash
Walk the mutt to the park
and while he takes a piss
Lavista Goola for all
We're getting ripped
A little never hurt no one
Walk Walk, Walk That Dog
Walk walk, in the fog
wait wait, can't see a thing
Walk that dog, Walk that dog
Walk Walk, Walk That Dog
Walk walk, in the rain
wait wait, getting wet
Wait for piss, Wait for shit
Tell my mom I think
the dog has to go
I run down the block
to find my girl
tie that little fag
to the fence
and get my balls sucked
by my wench
I Promise I'll really let you know
Walkin Walkin Walkin Walkin Walkin that dog
Walkin that dog
Barkin Talkin Walkin I gotta get a shit pick up
Walkin Walkin Walkin Walkin Walkin that dog
Walkin Walkin Walkin Walkin
sniffin pissin shitten how'd life get like this
I just want to know, how life got like this
One day my family
decided to move away
the dog being a dumb ass
a plan was made
We take little Rascal
for a final walk
leave him on the highway
and drive away
So long you little nasty dog
goodbye, you flee bitten weasel dog
never really liked you, you stinken mutt
I'm just so glad to get rid of this dog
Yaaaa, So Long Poochy
Spirtual Waltz
Can you feel the ancient past
I Feel it, I Feel it
Into our world it has come at last
I Waited, I've Waited
And I don't Know - don't know it's name
It's there though, It's there though
But I can feel it just the same
I feel it- you feel it- we feel it
This thing is eternal
Just as the stars and the sun
We Must keep this
For evermore
Dancing in the moonlight
To a spiritual waltz
Evermore
Dancing to the music
thats in our soul
To the Music
Dancing in the moonlight
To a spiritual waltz
Evermore
Dancing to the music

Just Like the balance of the universe
Something inside our soul
Beyond our control
Love came to us forevermore
Dancing in the moonlight
To a spiritual waltz
Dancing to the music
thats in our soul
Maybe we'll never solve the mystery
A force of destiny
Led you here to me
We are as one for everemore
Dancing in the moonlight
To a spiritual waltz
Dancing to the music
Dancing to the music
thats in our soul
This thing is eternal
Just as the stars and the sun
This thing is eternal
Forever since times begun
We must keep this for evermore
Dancing in the moonlight
To a spiritual waltz
Evermore
Dancing to the music
thats in our soul
We'll Be Dancing
Dancing in the moonlight
To a spiritual waltz

We'll watch the seasons as they change
The things that man has made
Will begin to fade
But love will survive for evermore

Dancing to the music
thats in our soul
Evermore
Dancing in the moonlight
To a spiritual waltz

Gadz
I just can't get along
You don't know
How I feel
All the time
Looking out through my eyes
What I see is the times
Dressed in deception
Full of aggression
Are we blind
It's making me sick inside
I just don't
Know how
To say it's wrong
It's wrong
It's absolutely wrong
absolutely wrong
That's why
I............I can't get along
Get along
I can't
Get along
All the people
I see
On the street
Want to be complete
But this can never be, because they're
Giving all
All
The pieces away
And
Having nothing left
For the completion to be
I just don't
Know how
To say it's wrong
It's wrong
It's absolutely wrong
absolutely wrong
That's why
I............I can't get along
Get along
I can't
Get along
I look out my window Jon
I don't know what to do anymore
I just see all these people
Aimlessly
Aimlessly walking through their lives
Searching for some kind of
Meaning in this existential quandary of
Nonexhistance we called
A pitiful experiment of life
What am I gonna do man?
I just don't know if I can take it anymore
I just can't..... go any further sometimes
You just don't understand it man
You don't know how I feel
How I see this world around me
Might as well say nothing at all
Verse 3
I talk to you
I talk to
You talk to me
We say a lot of nothing
About something
That has the intention
Of being something
That no one
No one
Would ever want
In their life
Or in their home
Or in their mind..........
I just don't
Know how
To say it's wrong
It's wrong
It's absolutely wrong
That's why
That's why
I............I............I can't get along
Get along
I can't
Get along
I just don't
Know how
To say it's wrong
It's wrong
It's absolutely wrong
absolutely wrong
That's why
I............I can't get along
Get along
Thats why I wrote this song
FART
If There's a God
A good catholic girl, she knows what's right
Dreams only of girls in the middle of the night
She got married to a man that can't please her
But she can't divorce, cause she fears Saint Peter
If there's a God
I don't believe in him
And if there's a God
I'm gonna be screwed
So screwed.............
In the end
Extremist radicals teach their kids
Allah doesn't like the west
The children line up to martyr themselves
A holy war's starting again
If there's a God
I don't believe in him
And if there's a God
And if there's a God
I'm gonna be screwed
So screwed.............
In the end
We've been tricked by TV holy men
Who claim to have the keys to God's land
Now we're waiting for salvation to come
As the bastards rip the cash from our hands
If there's a God
I don't believe in him
I don't believe in him
And if there's a God
And if there's a God
I'm gonna be screwed
Screwed
Screwed In the end
And if we knew that God's not watching
God's not watching
Would we do bad things just because we could
Because we could
Or would we do what is right
Do what's right
Because inside we know we should
Should...............
We go to church and kneel in fright
Afraid of what the preacher might say
Will he proclaim that we are all damned
Or just pass us the collection plate
Chorus Ride Out
If there's a God
I don't believe in him
And if there's a God
And if there's a God
I'm gonna be screwed
In the end
If there's a God
I don't believe in him
I don't believe in God
And if there's a God
And if there's a God
I'm gonna be screwed
So screwed.............
Screwed, screwed
In the end
And if there's a God
I don't, I don't
And in the end I don't believe in him
And if there's a God
And if there's a God
I'm gonna be screwed
So screwed
In the end
If there's a God
I don't believe in him
And if there's a God
And if there's a God...............

Someone's always, always, always, always

You're The One For Me
You don't know what I've been told
Stories abound, you sound so cold
You're the one that they're gonna blame
They all think that I am Insane
But when we do it - When we do it
You're the one for me
You're the one
I can see why they're uptight
But I have to make it through the night
Even though my friends might say
What are you doing with her anyway
But I know it-And you know it
You're the one
You're the one for me
Hanging down town
All the guys around
Lying on the ground
Making groaning sounds
Dancing on a table
And Swinging on a Pole
The guys are leering
Money is your goal
Single dollar bills
Strapped around your waste
Never Hesitation
A Natural State
Shake em all around
Silicone engorged
Sitten on my lap
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme some more
You all come back now
Hear
People seem to make a big stink
When I say you're the one for me
They'll all think that they're my friends
But they never been with you in bed
They don't know it-But we know it
You're the one for me
For me
You're the one
In skimpy dress
Standing on a corner
Flag down a car
Offer him a hummer
Get on in
and drive down an alley
After good service
Lets you out in a hurry
Eeouwwwww Eouwww (siren sound)
Here comes the cops
Arrested for the night
Guess you won't cop
Get out in the morning
After arraignment
To start it all over again
Chitlins and Gravy, baby
So as long as your alive
I Overlook your sleazy side
I'll be your biggest fan everyday
No matter what everybody says
But you know it-And you know it
You're the one for me
You're the one
But when we do it - When we do it
You're the one
You're the one for me
But I know it and you know it
You're the one for me
You're the one
But when we do it - When we do it
You're the one for me
You're the one
For me
Waiting
Whoa whoa aaah
Can't you feel it
Feel it
Can't you feel it
Feel it
I'm waiting
I'm waiting for you
Whoa aaah
Can't you feel it
Feel it
I always wait
In anticipation
Waiting for your voice
To tell me
It's feeling late
Too many expectations
Waiting for your choice
To show me
Show me
Please
Give me a sign
If you
Can tell me
Yeah
Won't you
Hear my cry
We spend all our time
Just waiting in line
Perpetuating
An endless design
We're waiting
We're waiting
We're waiting
We're waiting
You act like a snob
You hate your job
The line never moves
What the fuck is your prob
We're waiting
We're waiting
We're waiting
We're waiting
We're stuck on the road
We're moving so slow
The moron behind us
Is blowing his horn
We're waiting
We're waiting
We're waiting
We're waiting
A girl does her nails
In the car up ahead
Slowing the highway
I think she's brain dead
We're waiting
We're waiting
We're waiting
We're waiting
All of our lives
We're waiting for something
To take up all of our time
And occupy our minds
We're scurry around
Indulgent and proud
Thinking that we're unique
That no-one understands us
What we don't realize
Is that we are alike
Cause in the end
We're waiting to die
We've been together
For so long
But you never ask me
What is wrong
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
If you weren't blind
Then you would see
That I want you
To marry me
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm feeble and old
My time is near done
I know that soon
My end will come
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm ready to die
I've lived a long life
Of waiting for traffic
Long lines
And a wife
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
I'm waiting
All of our lives
We're waiting for something
To take up all of our time
And occupy our minds
We're scurry around
Indulgent and proud
Thinking that we're unique
That no-one understands us
What we don't realize
Is that we are alike
Cause in the end
We're waiting to die
Greed Sucks
Filled with lies, a world of greed
Pretend it's Darwin, to justify the means
If we don't learn to give and receive
We'll be destroyed, by our greed
Everyday of my life
Evil lurks all around me
In the form of
Of money
Filled with lies, a world of greed
Pretend it's Darwin, to justify the means
If we don't learn to give and receive
We'll be destroyed, by our greed
It will never feel right
To take without merit
Give me more
A soul
Filled with lies, a world of greed
Pretend it's Darwin, to justify the means
If we don't learn to give and receive
We'll be destroyed, by our greed
And I just don't know, how I'm gonna tell you
Cheating is
Unconstitutional
Because if someone can just buy anyone
Democracy will become
Done
Oh it's done
Oh it's done
Become done
Oh it's done
Oh it's done
I see the evil world
It's because of money
We want more
We like more
I'm Crying
Filled with lies, a world of greed
Pretend it's Darwin, to justify the means
If we don't learn to give and receive
We'll be destroyed, by our greed
Filled with lies, a world of greed
Pretend it's Darwin, to justify the means
If we don't learn to give and receive
We'll be destroyed, by our greed
And I just don't know, how I'm gonna tell you
Cheating is unconstitutional
Because if someone can just buy anyone
Democracy will become
So done
So Become done
So, so done
So done
So done
So Become done
So, so done
So done
Laundry Funk
My laundry funk
I arrive at the laundromat
Unwashed and unshaven
My baggy hand me down sweatpants
Dangling below my butt crack
I barely make the last load cut off
For this I am sneered at
By the flawed and faded beauty of Dotty
The night laundress
I feel despised
As I furtively sneak my skid marked underwear wholesale
Into the farthest reaches of the washroom
Wholesale into the farthest reaches of the washroom
I've entered amid a legion of other desperate laundry
Procrastinators
Concentric circles of laundry hell
Dotty with the spigot, playing show and tell
Cosmetically decrepit and deprived of health
Immune to the pure and disinfectant self
Sitting in the laundromat all fucked up
Two full hampers in my pick up truck
Running outside when I've had enough
This is how you get through the l laundry funk
Hmmmmm.....ha ha
Dotty buffs the counters
And I watch bleary eyed
Straining through my coconut rum haze
Unable to focus on her missing teeth
Which seem to rotate as if on spin cycle
Along with the monotone humdrum of washers and dryers
An Arnold Schwarzenegger movie plays Big Brother style on one of four separately tuned monitors
I'm suddenly seized by a fit of longing and nausea
As I race to the backyard benches and wretch
Choking as I vomit on the potted chrysanthemums
My eyes meet with two lovers in the nearby alleyway
Beside a dumpster
Concentric circles of laundry hell
Dotty with the spigot, playing show and tell
Cosmetically decrepit and deprived of health
Immune to the pure and disinfectant self
Sitting in the laundromat all fucked up
Two full hampers in my pick up truck
Running outside when I've had enough
This is how you get through the l laundry funk
