Bent 03:39
Pills for breakfast A glass of water maybe Is recommended Recommended Slow down honey You've got to keep that figure Got to make it look just right Yeah we're watching this girl with pride And we're watching this girl hitch a ride And we're watching this girl deep inside All this dough we made I hope she doesn't kill herself Now I'm not wicked An entrepreneurial spirit Kept me searchin' It keeps me searchin' An opportunity Came when she bent over Still I wonder How I wonder why she cried See we're watching this girl with pride And we're watching this girl hitch a ride And we're watching this girl deep inside All this dough we made I sure hope she don't kill herself All the men she's taken one by one Have hardly left a dent Every she move she's learned is One step closer to my retirement Still the abuse was too much Now she lives alone and slightly bent You know I'm sorry folks but what could I have said?

An age of consequence A product of your selfish time You've come a long way in such a short while But didn't even have to try But then you blew away my fragile House of cards House of cards What did you invent? I'll bet not half as much as him But if there are problems in the bedroom You're sure enough to win But then you blew away my fragile House of cards House of cards But them you blew away my house of cards House of cards Fragile house of cards You blew away my fragile House of cards House of cards Don't be too hard Our world's been jarred

Lift up your groggy eyes It's time to open up and face your surroundings Cold feet and shivering thighs Pushing me away without an utterance sounding Can't stand all the tentative maybes When she gets her way it always slays me Can't stand how she consciously misses All the hints I throw back when she dismisses Smooth skin and flowing hair A willingness to move in for the kill is upon me Blocked out but I don't care From where I sit it's time to get a little bit naughty Can't stand all the tentative maybes When she gets her way it always slays me Can't stand how she consciously misses All the hints I throw back when she dismisses Some say I've got it bad Some say I'm talkin' trash Some say I've got it bad Some say I'm talkin' trash Can't stand all the tentative maybes When she gets her way it always slays me Can't stand how she consciously misses All the hints I throw back when she dismisses Can't stand all the tentative maybes When she gets her way it always slays me Can't stand how she unconsciously hisses All the hints I throw back when she dismisses

BS 02:07
I should have listened And not approached this from below I'm gonna miss it But not enough to call it home And though it's all messed up in your mind And even if I took some luck to find Even if this bullshit now is justified Even if it works I can't go on I finally woke up And took a clearer look around Now don't get choked up It's just a different kind of sound And though it's all messed up in your mind And even if I took some luck to find Even if this bullshit now is justified Even if it works I can't go on Tonight's the night we finally got along When the messenger has said goodbye It's best to let him go

Wizard of Og 03:05
I can hardly believe it I don't need it Not in this lifetime All your smiling rejections It's offensive It's a hurtful crime Trippin' out While I waited by the phone I brought my instrument But you left me all alone Just between us I never wanted you to leave us Oh where are you now wizard of og? I got nothing to prove now wizard of og I was more than inspired I conspired To win your ear You tried to let me down gently You were friendly But I'm just too weird Tokin' up While I waited by the phone I'm not obsessed I just wish we could have found our tone Please believe me I never wanted you to leave me Oh where are you now wizard of og? I got nothing to prove now wizard of og Just between us I never wanted you to leave us Oh where are you now wizard of og? I got nothing to prove now wizard of og Where are you now wizard of og? I got nothing to prove now wizard of og

Lottery 02:54
I tried to run away From all my cuffs and bindings And just to take a break Is more a pain I'm finding If you would have listened I'd have found the words Now I've got my mistress And escape through pounds of herb The fading element Of a dried up custom They keep on selling it Pretending it's not busted If you would have listened I'd have found the words Now I've got my mistress And escape through pounds of herb But now I hang my head in shame I didn't even know her name I won the lottery When I popped that question Of broken pottery With my last confession Why settle for just one When you can have the lot? Lately I've been lusting After sex and pot If you would have listened I'd have found the words Now I've got my mistress And escape through pounds of herb And now I hang my head in shame I've got no right to stake a claim I think back on all those times she came I didn't even know her name

No More 04:47
No more second guessin' I've learned my lesson My sweet obsession - no relation Could have had it better But couldn't give her shelter From the go I felt her hesitation Rushin' away from his wasted advances From half the man she thought had a conscience Without a word she's still takin' chances You better hope to God girl you're well cuz I'm written... In better than you Better than you Better than you Better than... Touchin' hands Before touching eyes He took a chance Chance with a loaded die Found out I can't Can't take the brutal truth Thought I was acting so smooth No more lame excuses I felt a bit abusive When'd ya come so elusive like religion? No more social fountain That's what you get for doubtin' Your stubborn as a mountain like religion Rushin' away from his wasted advances From half the man she thought had a conscience Without a word she's still takin' chances You better hope to God girl you're well cuz I'm written... In better than you Better than you Better than you Better than... Touchin' hands Before touching eyes He took a chance Chance with a loaded die Found out I can't Can't take the brutal truth Thought I was acting so smooth No more weak emotion As proof of my devotion You're causin' such a commotion within my stomach Bathed in salted water I could come home a father Oh why'd I even bother your withered stomach?

Small Talk 02:27
Home from work and I'm torn and shredded All my guardians just don't get it They think a livin's what makes a man All these projects on my table I'll get around to 'em when I'm able They're about as pertinent as this band I try to push it away but it always comes back I try to shut it all out but I always wake up yeah A regular man with grand illusions A public entertained in mass delusion A not-so-talented artist's dream Procrastination keeps me busy But all this small talk just makes me dizzy One more word and I'm gonna scream I try to push it away but it always comes back I try to shut it all out but I always wake up yeah Home from work and I'm torn and shredded It doesn't bother me if I don't let it The only comforting thought I have Stuck in a cube in an empty building Nothing I've done is worth a shilling It's about as pertinent as this band I try to push it away but it always comes back I try to shut it all out but I always wake up I try to push it away but it always comes back I try to shut it all out but I always wake up yeah

You hand out just as harsh o' love as I So don't give me that quizzical eye Just because I've never acted like a demon before My life changed the moment I got down on one knee So don't turn that pretty head Later on were you surprised when I got down on all fours? The small towne louts never screamed and shouted for you (Ooo the may be true) See I'm a city dreamer And if that's my only good excuse Well at least I've never used it before The twin cities have done such a number on me I wither in this freezing hell But I feel protected from the elements by people I've known here The west coast - it dazzled like the Jules from before Until I sipped from Brooklyn's well With all the spray paint and its culture - it was calling me home there The small towne louts never screamed and shouted for you (Ooo the may be true) See I'm a city dreamer And if that's my only good excuse Well I've never had to use it before

Green Light 03:39
All the children are still and buried To their duty and cause were married Men much younger and braver than I Cast out without a damp eye To the gates of Hell Can you hear all the mothers crying? Wondering if their son's dead or dying Letters written to frightened families to sooth and comfort while we're ambling To the gates of Hell Where we fight this little corner of Earth Green light for murder torture or worse Surprised by the sick aggression they hurled Who's with me? It's an ignorant world Their twisted mindset was hardly mentioned Superiority framed in legend Backed up with unholy virtue No second thoughts as they hurried you To the gates of Hell Where we - we fight this little corner of Earth Green light for murder torture or worse Surprised by the sick aggression they hurled Who's with me? It's an ignorant world We fight this little corner of Earth Green light for murder torture or worse Surprised by the sick aggression they hurled Who's with me? It's an ignorant world

Good Night 02:41
Good night all of you chasing false lullabies Not that I've heard a song that could make me give up How could I have ignored all the evidence in front of me? Not that I've seen a case where the pudding is proof Your life is lacking All of these dreams just a stone's throw away Let's send then packing Ignorant fools who will never obey Good night - spare me your tolerant wickedness Not that I know of anyone else who would care Everyone who has met me will tell you I'm not okay With this unnatural idea of being ties down Your life is lacking All of these dreams just a stone's throw away Let's send then packing Ignorant fools who refuse to decay Your life is lacking All of these dreams just a stone's throw away Let's send then packing Ignorant fools who've got nothing to say We'll make them bend their knees yeah Good night all of you chasing false lullabies
