Get in your bubble then you travel
At lightning pace for the day Your self importance and disregard implies Better get out of my way A hectic morning and awful planning Again you're running late So laws don't apply And people can drive like shit you do Regardless of all Your lack of respect is a chain and ball When behind the wheel Out there dragging your loose cannon Regardless of all The dangers will rise and victims fall When behind the wheel Out there dragging your loose cannon Yeah cause and effect With someone self absorbed as this Dancing from bullets yet getting away Avoiding every single near miss Demented odyssey Gets a rise from everyone you meet So rules don't apply And you continue to drive like shit you do A bottomless pit Is where victims fall Get in your bubble then you travel At lightning pace for the day Your self importance and disregard implies 02. Head On
Loss of nerve man
Ain't no way to make wrongs right Never want to seek competition But don't you stand to close to my knife I got a lot of thorny thoughts Going banging till my arms are shot Poor friendless Raymond I give all I got I won't roll over I won't play dead I won't keep dining on the insides of my head Like an ol' dog With no burden of ignorance Never want to make lame excuses Or keep my nose in the air like a prince Some terrible beauty Like Machiavelli Poor friendless bastard But I've got a skeleton key And I won't roll over I won't sit down I'll keep on following the scent like a driven bloodhound Be the real deal If it hurts at least I can feel An easy target without a weapon Sometimes wound too tight But I'm digging in with all of my might And I'll plunge into life head on head on head on head on head on Head on I won't roll over I won't play dead I'd rather take it from the hands of some villain instead Be the real deal Every injury is gonna heal So bring on the bite from any python Sometimes wound too tight But I won't go down without a good fight And I'll always plunge into life head on 03. Left Hook From Right Field
Looks like I'll burn at the stake and you'll float
Unless I swim across this holy moat you say your castle's the only way To gain access through the heavenly gates Rabble rouser rabber rouser Stirring up doubt wherever I turn Pedaling fast pedaling slow just to get away it's a lot of energy just to not get saved Ruined I is a goner Left hook from right field Left out with no appeal You think I'm not getting into heaven Left hook from right field Left to rot and no last meal You know I'm not getting into heaven your approach is politely rude And such a condescending view Other beliefs are invalid Convert if I want to raise from the dead You want this you need this you want this you need this this whole thing is making me tired again God does this God does that What has he done All these preachy people make me haul ass and run Ruined Apparently I am a goner Left hook from right field Left out with no appeal You believe I'm not getting into heaven Left hook from right field Left to ponder why I ain't healed I guess I'm not getting into heaven It's not between some so called father and I It's not between me and some deity in the sky Whether my heart is good it's good it's not between some so called father and I it's not between me and some deity in the sky Whether my soul is good It's a competition with myself Left hook from right field they're not letting me into heaven Left hook from right field left out with no appeal I'm being turned away from heaven Left hook from right field Left out with no appeal You believe I'm not getting into heaven..heaven Left hook from right field Left to fight without a shield I guess I'm not getting into heaven Heaven..Heaven..Heaven 04. Get Off The Fence
Get off the fence
Free fall on one side To meet the end A waffle effects pride Get off the fence You typed out the email Now just push send And deal with decision made It's consequence So handle it right or wrong Get off the fence And let go of the bong You've made your bed So sleep in it peacefully And get off the fence Direct or indirectly your fault Straddling the wall you can't have it all no Well get off the fence Or run the risk of being named Yellowish Fractured beat and tamed Get off the fence Flash a crooked smile And then ascend Mile after mile Significance Don't live like a tumbleweed Get off the fence Just blowing in the breeze I'll make a bet You'll feel much more relieved So get of the fence Direct or indirectly your number's called Preparation always will help to avoid pitfalls Get off the fence In this kangaroo court You can't be wishy wash You'll never be taken serious I little bit morally rotten Keeps you from hitting the bottom The dearly departed won't make a fuss no Get off the fence Oh the ghost of yesterday Get off the fence Enjoys stepping in your way Get off the fence Put your put your business in the street Get off the fence Ah take a bow at the meet and greet Direct or indirectly you can Face the music like a confident medicine man In the end ain't different than now it began Of you're on the fence Get off the fence 05. Chilled
I say goodbye to my favorite time of day
Watch the sun drop and dusk fade Another two dozen hours go by And times going quicker at forty five When I was young I wanted life to go fast Always in a hurry to see what's next Maybe if I could slow time down I might shake loose this reoccurring frown Vacuum me in a deep freeze Calling a truce with this ghost that I fought And just chill with what I got Breaking it down to see where I stand It's all pretty grand Periodically I find myself pissed off Though never quite sure about which I bug caught Very few things in my life are bad Some bad shit happens to that other half Don't want to appear that I ain't grateful It's all gravy when you terminate the bull shit Hurdles that come up running the track Are best dealt with a calm state of attack Rest assured so be understood It's all pretty good Feet planted on my own holy land 06. La Raza
Devastated in the land
Devastated in the land Devastated in the land Where I hold my daughters hand Man I really hate it Boy I really hate it No fanfare required Upright man your starting to tire Some folks know what I mean Cause they're turning blue white turning green The race to find space and oil Is gaining ground gaining ground Human race may come to a boil Come on jump in the pot We are wreaking havoc Completely wreaking havoc Yes we're wreaking havoc Like a cheap shot at the back Really is pathetic Utterly pathetic Coming full circle now Close the curtains don't take a bow Some folks know what I mean And this can of worms is opening The race to find space to breathe Is harder now, harder now Human race you make me grieve For the things that you do Some freaks don't give a damn And they are the ones threatening man The race to portray yourself as somebody who cares Separates yourself from someone who's willing to dare To race to embrace a kiss Is what we need what I need Human race you'll get through this You always do 07. Black Feet
Barely rise in the morning need my serving plate
Hoping that an intervention won't greet me this day Have the strength of a newborn once was a lion here Counting down the sins of my mother and fathers fears Oh been humbled every waking hour Is that chariot a comin' to devour Wish my three offspring would get off my back And let this mini pill quickly take effect Time to sleep Time to dream Now Got me on the ropes Running out of hopes I'm a model citizen don't you know But these black feel won't connect to legs So I struggle to walk now and I struggle to stand And I barely have any feelings within both my hands Bodies breaking down been depleting for years And I'd love to figure out what you said but I can't hear In my own undoing all the effort is gone I wonder if the motivation button was ever on 08. Little Monkey
Bully around the kids on the school yard
Threw all that weight around Put the hee bee jee bees in to someone Sure way to earn that crown Boy now a man but I use that word lightly Punk ass is more your style No compliments for all this bravado A tub of shit in a pile Piled high Sky high Your throne Pig sty Little money, little monkey I really think I smell something funky Little monkey biggest dummy You fooled'em all but I must have been lucky Little monkey never funny Your true colors beam in the sunshine Little monkey little monkey I'll cut down your vine Hollywood mogul making B movies Award winners they are not A ton of attitude for a whole lot of nothing Small penis king of the lot You started as a prick and you stay consistent But assholes got room to grow Hard to tell which is getting bigger Your belly or your ego Ego Oh know Big deal You've blown I'll get a punch in your face if I'm lucky Little monkey little monkey I'll watch as you fall from the sidelines As I cut your vine I'll chop down your vine I'll chop down your vine I can't stand your whine You do it all the time I'll chop down your vine I'll chop down your vine You dirty slime 09. Blues
Would you feel shallow if I cast your thoughts aside
Or pick yourself up and dust off that dirty hide The game we play together ain't a typical run and hide Would you mind a lot if I join you From out of the blue I get a gushing bloody nose The only way to clean myself is wash it with the garden hose Each move I make will take the best curve I throw But my friend that might still not be enough bro Would you mind much if I join you Yeah Would you mind a lot if I join you Yeah Would you mind a lot if I join you Is it farfetched if I join you Is it mindless if I join you Time to boogie California You can try to escape but that shell you're in is still there Now matter how far you go in your mind and your soul You're still in there It's useless Futile and useless Futile and groundless And there ain't a damn thing left now But never the less Would you mind much if I join you Would you mind much if I join you Is it mindless if I join you Yes it's mindless but I warned you 10. Bandit Country
I don't think that we'll last as burns
But as brigands we can give it a try Trudging through life's distraction Here's to some mud in your eyes Meander in a three dimensional world In a salad bowl of racial genes She's knitting my doom with a hook for a hand And a smirk that's so pristine Dirt thick as cake batter Covering wounds and skin Mother Mary our common thread And next of kin Wake up quick Wake up sick Bandit, bandit On easy street A prude beneath my rapist fur Sweet as a bag of splendor Quite at home in bandit country Always told smug aren't ya To strangers I'm adored to ignored From pity to pure disgust We lay in pollute this makeshift bed But we never ever ride the bus Fierce like a badger Snapping from a case of rabies The launching pad to deliver this load Is all I see Wake up quick Wake up sick Bandit, bandit King of the street MIA is my partner in crime She doesn't feel safe from herself It's a beautiful twosome that we male As we fold another hand we've been dealt Scum of the nation Scattered and poor Calls of support are muted But never premature Wake up quick Wake up sick Bandit, bandit Ain't easy Bandit, bandit Someone king me Bandit, bandit Bandit, bandit Bandit of the street |
