Tanks of Water
03:38
|

Hit the bricks with cards and the tricks
With the three bent cars that you use to make tricks
A fool and his gold are parted as of old
And then we get some cans and we go to cobblestone…to the stone
Doing good as well as we could but it’s not fair to remind us everything we could have owned
Break the pipes breaking the pipes we won’t fill your tanks of water
So you hit bricks with the cards and the tricks
With the two drunk boys who would you home from school
It was the breath of the spirit known as death
She is lying out wait, crime is living at all.

Two Soldiers
03:08
|
|||
in the sleepy old town of bethlehem
two soldiers lay in bed
and one says to the other one i think i’ve got a way out
we will go the american army and get a suitcase full of guns
and we can rob the little caravans that pass on their way out
said one soldier to another as he sharpened up his knife
i have stolen enough money to support us for the rest of our lives
by threatening merchants with violence
they escaped the cycle of work
and became the petty warlords of the road on the way out
one day an army constable
with his drummer came up the road
to send the two soldiers cross the sea to fight a war
but they struck that army officer with the flat end of his sword
and they kicked the little drum on down the road on the way out
if you want to pass this way
you’ve got to fuckin pay
if you want to pass this way
you’ve got to fuckin pay

Boxer you’re fighting for nothing
you’re fighting and losing
The men with the pen are taking it all
Rocker you’re rocking for nothing
They get the cream you get skimmed milk
They say they dream your dream, they say they’re on your team

STUMBLING BLOCK
stumbling block
you’re the obstacle in path
there you are right in my track
you’re in my way
stumbling block
just causing to foot me wrong
falling over the whole night long
i’ve been stuck on you
stumbling block
oh i’m just sore from tripping up
i know brought you out here
i encouraged your move
i see you can’t wait
to fold me over and wad me up
you can do it more time i guess
as you leave
I can’t resent
the good things that money brings
so don’t leave any of your things
I’m not angry i’m done
stumbling block
you’re the one i’ve been tripping on
you’re the one should have been gone
a long time ago

I can see the ocean from here and all the trash that’s coming on in with the tide
America it has no lights the cities left to carrion bloody stragglers
I would cross from new orleans into the burned out husk they’re calling old california
I would ride the ragged earth across the ghastly ruins of man’s creation
Allison i am waiting like the tommy gun in turtle’s hands dangerous
Remember when they try they come and try to sink my ship
Allison allison i am waiting
Supplies are dwindling here famine casts a silver crown around us
Some son of adam just might shamble up and ask you for a spare rib
And everywhere around you people are crying they’re wailing and pulling their hair out

for one shattered egg in my own house i have to beg, for your treatment of me, you don’t have the right
to complain anymore
for your treatment of me you don’t have the right.
the sight of your head only fills me up with dread
as you’re peeping out so evil from the door
where you’re making cruel jokes
and then tallying positions in a war
for improvement in your crimes
you study evil all the time
thinking only of dismissive points of view
what to do i don’t know
all i’m saying is that you don’t have the right
every night pickled in brine
like a troglodyte in wine
you are chewing up the gristle and the nail
7 wonders of the world
moral cousin to the human sacrifice

Pissing into Water
02:41
|
|||
pissing into water, a water that is pure with life’s blood
pissing into water, I know that we were born into the wrong world
charging out into the night
with a doubt in the fuckin mind
the punker nightmare coming true
doesn’t need explained to you
but we are here, we still need
all the the things we always need
as one, we’re worth the world now
I see your battles you see mine
with the old depressive mind
always something in the way
but we are one phone call away
reaching out, fighting grief, learning to forgive the ones who fail
it’s not no easy

GLUTTON 4 PUNISHMENT
do you know
you’ve got to suffer the consequence
we forget the crime in time to give out punishment
so take all your medicine
that’s all they want you to say
i told them what to say
now i regret it
again
have you been a glutton for punishment
are you now or have you ever been
a part of it
and put in a pillory
that’s all they want you to say
i told them what to say
now i regret it
again
have you met
the one all of the with the heavy hands
they take you away and then they make you stable boy
and they start to notice you

Erased?
04:12
|
|||
nothing is written that can’t be erased
it’s all not certain that we won’t be replaced
you can harbor theories but you’re as lost as us
nothing is permitted and everything’s true
when i start thinking it’s the worst that i do
i’m breaking muscles working out bones
it’s heaven every minute every minute you’re not erased
all the people that they like to forget
you’ve been rid hard and put away wet
regular people never catch a break
a regular person is just below a cop
all the worst people rise to the top
and above it reigning is a crazy god
abuse of power is never a surprise
and i feel power when i look in your eyes
one person can’t help you it takes a town
they’ll build their floating cities while we boil away on the ground
and they’ll only come back down again when we’re all not around
they don’t need your toiling hands
to feed them anymore
now they’ve got their good machines
they don’t need you anymore

Wars
03:17
|
|||
Please just do me right i ask you to please just do me right
How many wars are you fighting now?
How many treats will they gobble up today,
in their evil country mansions with their power on display,
they wash their hands but it never makes them clean,
a limit to their wickedness if there is i haven’t seen.

Strange Faces
05:57
|

strange faces i see two or three
wild eyes looking back at me
strange faces I see three or four
no windows no door
strange faces i see five or six
below the man pickup sticks
strange faces i see five or 7
take the 9 turn it to 11
strange faces

DYBDD?

|

they baptize their infants
put them into a pool
if they are bad infants put them into a school
then they go to the catholic school
where jesus takes out his books
spoil the rod don’t spare the child
learning is very cruel
it’s no wonder that you’re waiting in line you’ve got no rhythm and you’ve got no ride
phantom of the opera
food and pesticide
you’ve got violent history
future violence in sight
the daughters of charity
they won’t let you inside
It’s heavens all the way up, bullies all the way down

In My Way
02:16
|

a hippie cut off his finger
trying to sharpen a blade
now his blade is rusty
but his fingers stay
your youth was in riot
survival got in it’s way
do you know now, what you knew then
do your bad dogs dream?
i asked for water
and all that they gave me was gasoline
now i have to get water
do your bad dogs dream
i wish i was a seagull
flying in the air
if i was that bird
i would give a shit
in a cops red hair
but i am getting so much closer now to a feeling i’ve wanted to have ever since i was born
when we will hang you from the gate
and you can eat all the ice cream you want when you get to hell

Downtown

|

you’re on my radar
downtown
downtown
when the shit hits the fan i’ll be your man about town
who likes this city anymore
where they cuss and they smoke and then they tell a joke on you
you’re on my radar
where the lights are ugly and the rats always find a way in
who likes this city anymore
they say the waters on the rise and then they act surprise when you drown

Hope

Do you have hope? If you’ve got some will you share it with me
I have no hope
Shoutout to maria in the oldtown san jose and the ugly ray of sunshine to which she pray
I’ve got your picture now
Bad man bad man go away
Have you lost all faith in me?
I’ve got your picture now
