1. BREAK MY ARM
you'll never get a dime from me,
no go ahead and try to break my arms
living in a quiet way , no
someone's always trying to take mine
a recorded copied record plays, oh
go ahead and try to break my heart
living in a quiet way, no
someone's always trying to take mine
race it in, phase it out now
here it is, drink it all down
you're lying to us everyday lord
go ahead and try to break my mind
living in a quiet way, no'
someone's always trying to change mine
why we live so poorly
as we work our lives away
bred right dues you're only
a rushed tax slave you had your youth
come on
2. I SHOULD'VE KNOWN
I should've known by now, all along
what you were trying to say
I should've known by now, all along
that things were going your way
but your words always move like the wind
i don't know where they will stop or will end
but as long as you are near
just tell me what i wanna hear
I should've known by now, all along
what you were gonna be
and I know, i know i will
I should've known by now, all along
that things were going your way
3. HAPPY FLOWERS
she grew up midwest
her parents taught her best
and showed how good her life could be
with lots of money
then she got a little older and moved to california
ignored all advice
ignored all the warnings they gave
those good warnings
well things were never worse
things were never better
no complaints here
how about that weather today
its nice and sunny
soon you'll see my pretty face up on the silver screen
posing in the pictures of magazines, yeah
who knows what life may bring
he grew up on his own
some people called him strange
the kids thought crazy, parents thought deranged they'd say
that poor family
then he got a little older and joined up in the service
and made his mother proud
made his father nervous he gave
those good warnings
well things were never worse
things were never better
no complaints here how about that weather today
its nice and sunny
soon i'll head on back home get to my routine
forget all the blood death that i've seen, yeah
who knows what life may bring
well things were never worse
things were never better
no complaints here how about that weather today
its nice and sunny
soon I'll head on back home get to my routine
forget all the booze drugs that i've seen, yeah
who knows what life may bring
4. PAYING FOR IT
you've learned to cool your own nerves
a skill you practiced, perfected but don't deserve
you wake from your mind fucked haze
taking things for granted each and every day
cause no one waits for nothing
no one smiles when the snow falls down
no one breathes the air in
they're running before their feet can even hit the ground
you came in what your after now your paying for it
a crack down, killer crime wave
take out all the others for the ones you'll save
a rip stop and round'em all up
we're going round in circles and i've had enough
cause no one waits for nothing
no one cries when the sun goes down
no one breathes the air in
it'll kill ya before your feet can ever hit the ground
before your feet can ever hit the ground
before their feet can ever hit the ground
before their feet can ever hit the ground
you came in what your after now your paying for it
5. UH HUH
i'll take you on your parents bed and make you scream
uh-huh, uh-huh
i'll throw you in the back seat and make you scream
uh-huh, uh-huh
a thursday or a friday man it doesn't really matter
there's one thing for sure you know what i'm after
uh-huh, uh-huh
oh no, no, no
you say we need to find a good time to meet
uh-huh, uh-huh
i'll see you after show in a motel suite
uh-huh, uh-huh
tommy's got a red-head
and josh has got a blonde
the brunettes been dancing
without a stitch on
uh-huh, uh-huh
oh no, no, no
6. DEEP DOWN
i'll go deep down right now
a ditch is on the left
i've done this 14 times in my head
I'm lucky to escape
and this is how i feel
it may be a mistake
truck on the hill
i'll go deep down right now
I'm laying in a bed
my hair is falling out
and I'm getting thin
my friends don't come around
they're scared of what they'll see
it's hard for them
but fuck it's hard for me
i think of all my brilliant thoughts
all the means i have to escape
the way things all came about
so many of life's lucky breaks
and some road may end, some circle back
the raiders can't wait to plan their attacks
cause the timing is crucial when troubles abound
and there's no guarantees each time around
i'll go deep down right now
a warm and hallowed eve
i head out back, I'm playing in the tree
the ambulances blare
a neighbor cuts me down
I'm hanging from my neck 3 feet from ground
7. Oh Baby
all the girls in the back room say "hey, man she's bad news"
she looks really good on stage but you know its only part of her ruse
still you head on back to her sexy, seedy side of town
got a hundred in ones the same chances of her going down
cause in my hearts of hearts i stayed true
you know i never should've trusted you
oh baby
and i woke from a haze that next foggy sunday
made a promise in the mirror i'm gonna grow, change, stay away
from that dusty, sexy, seedy side of town
i got a hundred in ones the same chances of her going down
if only parts of parts they prove true
it means i never should've trusted you
oh baby
8. TOO LATE
the birds are flying with their tar in tow
ignoring people living far below
the rivers running from a blue to brown
they dream it build it
then they tear it down
the people gather to announce the blame
they cry and scream ignoring all their shame
the air grows thick and then its hard to breathe
a life of wanting, what you want you need
but it's too late
it's gone
it's too late, always waiting
it's too late
the sky will burn and then the sea will boil
the plants will all choke on the poison soil
the fish will float then the animals die
that's just a step away from you and i
you lay your head upon a pile of ash
you feel the thunder and you hear the crash
you hope and pray that when your savior comes
that he'll forgive you for what all you've done
9. SELF-DESTRUCT
i need a trip
to clear the baggage
to stay ahead
above the average
but time doesn't stop with me, no no
you know i can't live enough, oh no
you're never gonna set me free, no no
i might as well self destruct
make a plan
and then you go there
but then your stuck
your going no where
kill all the pigs eveyrthing's rigged
hunt them, try them, hang them in the square
and no one thinks
that they're affected
till it's too late
and they're infected
10. ONE GOOD SATURDAY
tand so long i've waited
for my love to carry me home
I'm so tired and faded
from my life not being my own
and so long i've waited
for my love to carry me home
I'm so tired and faded from my life not being my own
from my time not being alone
and now my one good saturdays gone
you're so kind and patient
when the world is turning your way
you're so cold and vacant when the words they lead you astray
and so long i've waited for my love to carry me home
I'm so tired and faded from my life not being my own
from my time not being alone
and now my one good saturdays gone
baby i need your love
honey i need your time
baby you're all that i want
honey your only mine
baby i need your touch
honey i need your time
baby you're all that i want
honey you're only mine
