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
3.
Boxer 02:14
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
4.
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
5.
Allison 03:45
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
6.
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
7.
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
8.
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
9.
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
10.
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.

In My Way 02:16
