CARVED IN STONE

Never have I felt so alone, until I saw your name carved in stone
And the font they made, it had shown, that they shipped you back dead and gone
And the casket was just a loan, until they gave you one of your own
And they told me that you were blown, and they wouldn't let me take you home
Your mother cried and she moaned, and your brother just sat there stoned
While the band played a quiet drone, and the trumpet played taps alone
I know you would have loved it if you'd known, your wife and kids were there and how they've grown

This world is done, and I'm ready to go
This place is no fun, and I'm ready to go
The sky's on fire, the ocean's filled with mire, and the animals are dying off too
We're all in debt, we spend more than we get, and there's nothing else that we can really do
There's no way out and I'm ready to go
This lake has no trout, and I'm ready to go
There's too much information, so many abbreviations, that I don't even know my own language anymore
And if you don't have a computer, you're a total fucking loser, and you might as well just walk right out the door
Too many religions turn us into pigeons, trained to kill and reproduce in someone's name
I prayed for a spaceship to come and rescue us, but my co-workers said that it was lame
It never came
This world is screwed, and I'm ready to go
There's no more food, and I'm ready to go

Well it's a miracle that I still work here
Cause you're clinical, and you go berserk here
And if I talk too loud, you try to shut me out
You try to put me in your doghouse
Your resume says you're qualified to hire people
And no one likes you, so you're qualified to fire people
And I'm qualified to make you shut your mouth
And you can go fuck off to your doghouse
Your fucking doghouse

HOOKERS AND BLOW
02:01

|

Coming to main street with a vengeance
Annihilation and destruction
Pouring the concrete on a hole
Into the island of a memory
Topple a beaker full of problems
Over a petri dish of luck
Left standing still
Left wondering why
Left out in the cold
Continuous sound waves on an obelisk
Awkwardly spinning on an axis
Picking the pieces up again
Isn't it strange the way they ask you
To total your savings in a bucket
Offer you dinner and a drink
Later taking you out
Later bringing you down
Later making you pay
Hookers and blow
Nothing ever is for free
Fuck you
And fuck you too

My baby done left me, she left me in tears
My baby done left me for drinking my beers
May baby done left me for another man
And why she did this, I just don't understand
Gonna grab my laptop and delete her from my friends
That's how she'll know that I think she's a bitch
And I'll delete my baby
Delete my baby
She broke my heart

JOHN JOHNSON

His father's name was 'John'
And the father before him, they named him 'John'
Like the ten before, who walked through the door
They were all named 'John'
And his middle name was 'Jonathan'
And his last name stayed as 'Johnson'
'John Jonathan Johnson'
The eleventh son

GOOD LUCK

Lightning strikes every once in a while, but not as much as it really should
And when it strikes, there's pretty lights, and there's fire in the darkened woods
And when the trees all burn down, and the fire gets put out
You pout and you shout, "Hey, who turned the lights out?"
Vultures swoop upon the dead, and pick the meat from their rotting bones
Until the skeletons are gelatin, and no one's ever coming home
And when the vultures finally leave, they don't know where to go
"Yo Ho! Ho Ho! We don't know where to go!"
There used to be a time where everyone sang about snakes and dogs
Now, all they sing about are booty calls and online blogs
And at the end of the day, does it really matter, no
Yo ho, oh no, we don't know where to go
