people needa leave me the fuck alone - tryin to get in my face and drive me home
kinda fuckin crazy cause im not alone
______________________
my name is:
im tired of people
trying to tell me who i am
its so crazy
under the flag of uncle sam
people needa back of and let me be who i am
they needa understand that i am what i am
im sick and tired
of all the bullshit
people need to leave me alone
and get off of my shit
my skin color should not be an indicator of my nationality
and if you're going to fight me on this i'm going to brand you as a facist, see?
don't get between me and my goals man, you're actin like a fol
people think they're so comfortable evaluating who i am too
its rediculous to see the people who act like theyre great
i wonder where their liefs gonna lead them to what fate
its so crazy to see teh fools in this town
i wanna make sure that they all go down
they needa get outa my way pronto, i dont want to have this problem
and if they dont move, then i wont have them.
im tired of people trin to dictate my life's means
i've had it happen to much, this shit's an old scene
i'm not gonna sit here and accept such racist attitudes.
it makes me wonder man what the hell's he gonna do?
there's so much crap in the air
gonna move my hands and feet until i dont care
people frustrate me to the limit of the land
we'll make sure this shit doesnt get out of hand
people needa stop assumin that everythins a mature conversation
this is a motherfuckin racial nation
im tired of all the people that think that everythings cool
im tired of all the 20-somethings that like to play the fool
Leave me the fuck ALONE
Leave me the fuck Alone
Leave me the fuck alone-
im tired of all the crap that people try to throw in my face.
its a constant reminder of all this societal disgrace
people needa understand that im not some whipping bitch
its kindof weird cause everyone acts like im a snitch
its so strange to deal with the same old crap day after day
i wanna make sure i dont lead my life in dismay
people wanna force shit down my throat like its necessary
i want people to realize this isn't cool, it's not tertiary
leave me the fuck alone
leave me the fuck alone
leave me the fuck alone
4x
its so werid t obe 25
im so tired of not feeling alive
wi annwa be free eut every mom=vements closed
this is how it feels when you feel like youre 24
its smooth to british, like a smooth finish, there's writings on the wall
i'm tellin you i'm cool, i ain't no fool, i'm i'm certainly not goin through withdrawls
people are finnicky, so much trickery, it's really not that cool
i wanna go outside, not give anyone rides, does that make me a tool?
____________________
conversation over...

Gmaj
its so nice to have good times

here i am in my place
its a dismal space
outside i see grean
to the squirrels im always mean
Gmaj
they need to bugger off
Dmaj
and to the hipsters I scoff
+
Dmaj
this place is a mess
and i like it that way
everything on the floor
neatly arranged
Gmaj
got a pile for my laundry stack
Dmaj
stick 'em in the dryer and bring 'em back
Dmaj
weathers starting to get bad
locals starting to get mad
rains startin to fall down
people gather from all around
Gmaj
my place is a crying shame
Dmaj
does bad things to my name
Dmaj
midwest heroes wastin time
solve our problems with rhymes
its quarter to eight, quarter to nine
go to the DMV stand in the line
Gmaj
rain clouds comin so close
Dmaj
lets watch a comedy roast
Emin/Amaj
weathers getting quite cold
and im another season old
some things never change
other things seem quite strange.

im locked away in my own hideaway spot
close the door and lock the lock
ive had my fill for now ill see you in awhile
for now i fly south where its dry
this world is so complicated sometimes
and it can mess with your mind
try to be a good man but sometimes im unkind
this is my time to unwind
ive been walkin these streets for many odd years
sometimes ambition strikes me, overcome the fears
and though i know the whisperings
im still the guy who plays guitar and sings
the weathers changing and im reminded of england
it was my home, the place of which i was fond
roaming in the countryside
those were the days, what a ride
sometimes you lose something that means alot to you
and even though you might be confused
through the mists, you know what to do
and fuck the people that're tellin you you're rude
find someone to love, find somewhere to live
forgive the rest, and they'll try to forgive
you can't be perfect, but you can be you
try out that attitude
F#maj/Cmaj/Gmaj/Dmaj
uncles gone
im forlorn
but life goes on
and on and on
im still here

Emin [plucked]
sick and tired of all these columbus fucks
they all really suck
people can let you down
in this town
i just wanna be

im tired of coddling kids
dealing with boys not men
and the weathers shit
cooped up like chickens in a pen
so many flakey druggies
shallow scene kids
these streets are stained
bloody money, broken ribs
these kids are strange
nothing makes sense
i guess they say im
way too intense
they just party all day
no inspiration
they measure the worth of a night
by volume of perspiration
Amaj/Gmaj/Emaj
things are
bad and im
pullin inside
im just glad
that im not
rotten inside
i might be
sad but i
aint no bad man
might be
time to
restart the game again

so many people
walk on the streets
all the performers
performing amazing feats
people cued
in the icecream line
football fans
with their jerseys fine
dog walkers
in the park
street hustlers
no bite just bark
comic nerds
in the store
people herds
going to war
Em/A/C7/B#m/B
its so crazy to see
all the weird people
i am looking out my window
and i see
the sun
set
i was going through my mind
and i saw
some meaning
inside
c7/am/c7/f
i do what i wanna do
and i am alright
life is such a gas
but sometimes a blight
ive met so many people
and ill meet more
sometimes the best people
live nextdoor
a squirrel looks at me
through my living room window
crank up the air conditioner
we need more airflow
the wind is blowing the grass
i have memories
england roaming
and wind through the trees
one day ill move away
buy myself a house
ill be so content
quiet as a mouse
these are my dreams
these are my memories
here i am old enough
in the air are geese
g/f/c7/g
its all too much
i wanna go home
fields of green and rivers flowing
i wanna go home
i do what i wanna do
and i am alright
life is such a gas
but sometimes a blight
ive met so many people
and ill meet more
sometimes the best people
live nextdoor

E, F#, G, C7
hey dont leave me
i love you
i am so young
are you too
i walked down here
it was cool
people looked and
kept their cool
silence is their
own law
i feel like an
outlaw
bugs chirp outside
make a noise
sometimes couples walk by
girls and boys
paranoia
plagues their minds
contageous
working its way inside
hold your head high
dont falter now
they look up to you
dont let them down
G, D, E, C-7, G
summer turns to fall
and we're all in withdrawl
but nostalgia strikes me cold
a childhood reminder, the fall.

there is a weird feeling
in my bones
im going down on myself
in my home
the sky is feeling blue
sun so bright
and everything is calm
at night
we walk the streets
with our friends
we find the alleys
and dead ends
people are calm
when the suns down
they go nuts
i dont know
where i am
im in the nation of
uncle sam
i come from the country of
union jack
everyone here is
shooting up smack
im so tired
of being lost
in a sea of people
them's the breaks
ill take the hits
im not sure if

its been ages
since ive been home
im driven to pieces
wondering when ill go
my memories fading
like a dying star
i wonder will i ever
go that far
i feel so down
i am alone
ive tried so goddamn hard
to make this place my home
the rain is fallin
reminds of childhood
soccer in rainy fields
i'd still play if i could
cultural wasteland
im a vagabond
inside im a gentleman
trying to cross the pond
they call me weird
they call me out
theyre intolerant and
one day they'll find out

im tired of living in obscurity
making art that noone sees
its like living in the desert
sand and no trees
wasting my days in a haze
my mind is so bleary
my bodys aging badly
my mind is getting weary
the bar scene is played out
run by some fools
wasting my time playing their games
theyre a bunch of tools
music is my sole pursuit
in the name of a friend
he passed away a few years ago
ill continue til the end
my old home is miles away
across the bloody ocean
people here are so lucky
they think i cause a commotion
these kids dont get my style
its kindof boring
they try to mdiwesternize me
but that jsut leaves me snoring
i vow that i will make something
of this empty life
and that i one day will triumph
through all this strife

since my friend died
and i've spent this live
barely alive
im in this town
with all sorts of fools
im all alone
with these tools
im a british guy
in a brown skin
and these guys
want me to be thin
i'd rather leave
if i could
my father'd pay
not sure if i should
am i cursing the memory
of my dead friend
by leading myself
into a dead end?
and in the end
is this band right?
will i have strength?
will i have the might?
im not sure
never am
but i push forward
like a stubborn ram

bliss
*all our problems have left us
*life is sighing in relief
*through the clouds
*wind to our backs
*sky stretching on to the horizon
*all is still and grand
*the world is buzzing and we're enlightened
*march forth through the grass
*birds fly overhead
*we stand in awe of whats around
*we're home
*never forget the greatness of whats around
*don't let yourself get washed away
*we grow like trees and find our way to the sky
*the world makes sense and we're pleased to be here
*life is sighing in relief
*through the clouds
*wind to our backs
*sky stretching on to the horizon
*all is still and grand
*the world is buzzing and we're enlightened
*march forth through the grass
*birds fly overhead

wip - work in progress
we're just crying over what we once had
before the pain before the difficulty
with difficulty comes oppertunity
overcome the things that sit across your way
there is no joy behind his smile
he just sits and whines
there is a forced smile
you've got to recognize that
don't let yourself get bothered by the worries of life
people get consumed by whats in front of them
can't snap out of it
there's alot of cool things out there
overturn every rock
always something and exciting around every corner
don't be afraid
life is full of pain and pain means growth
the world is a harsh place
learn how to roll with the punches
we're doing what we can
a mountain of work
the ideas that we can churn out
business attire
wear your sunday best
dapper up a bit
we'll just leave you behind
get on stage and do your thing
get up there and entertain these people
we slip them poison and they pay for it
serve with a smile
try and please the customer
the customer is always right, don't ever forget that
anything less is unsatisfactory
nobody can tell you how to be a man
round yourself out
make a life for yourself
good vibe kindof a guy
try to be a beacon of goodness
its not my gig to be rude
before the pain before the difficulty
with difficulty comes oppertunity
overcome the things that sit across your way
there is no joy behind his smile
he just sits and whines
there is a forced smile
you've got to recognize that
don't let yourself get bothered by the worries of life
people get consumed by whats in front of them
can't snap out of it
there's alot of cool things out there

new lyrics - rough draft
you made it
thats what it's all about
start walking
be ambitious
now is your time
do something amazing
don't look back
keep walking down that dusty old road and you'll find something on the horizon
you'll find yourself in a better place
stumble into it
express yourself
flex those muscles and see what mountains you can move
that which came before
build yourself up and become something better
higher plane of existence
this is a rare moment
***find yourself and you will find redemption
push on through
your chance to grow and change into a better man
find yourself
on the cusp of something new
there's excitement in that
build yourself up to the point where you can be
pick yourself up and make the best of it all
see what's real
don't lose sight
you loved her
no shame
you already know who you are
lead yourself
the pain you feel is reflection of the depth which you loved
you loved her alot
you wanted different things
the pain you feel is a reflection of the depth of your love
this is how you spent your life
it broke
find another
recognize the greatness in the moment
the rest is about letting stuff happen
stay loose
keep participating
the walls will come down
you will be liberated
be yourself and do whats necessary
lead yourself
don't worry about the details
thats what it's all about
start walking
be ambitious
now is your time
do something amazing
don't look back
keep walking down that dusty old road and you'll find something on the horizon
you'll find yourself in a better place
stumble into it
express yourself
flex those muscles and see what mountains you can move
that which came before
build yourself up and become something better
higher plane of existence
this is a rare moment
***find yourself and you will find redemption
push on through
your chance to grow and change into a better man
find yourself
on the cusp of something new
there's excitement in that
build yourself up to the point where you can be
pick yourself up and make the best of it all
see what's real
don't lose sight
you loved her
no shame
you already know who you are
lead yourself
the pain you feel is reflection of the depth which you loved
you loved her alot
you wanted different things
the pain you feel is a reflection of the depth of your love
this is how you spent your life
it broke
find another
recognize the greatness in the moment
the rest is about letting stuff happen
stay loose
keep participating
the walls will come down
you will be liberated
be yourself and do whats necessary
lead yourself
don't worry about the details

the rhythm in my head has taken over
feel the energy
the room convelesces with people
jaw hanging open shocked by the vivacity of the scene
it comes second nature
changes your world
standing amongst the masses
at peace with the world and suddenly it all seems to make sense
renewed
back to form
energized in ways you havent felt for years
welcome back
absolute energy and life
nothings stopping you
your world and your time
find your way out
lay those bags saddled across your back on the floor
be a human being again
one amongst many
shred the floor
move around and feel the beat
across the floor and into new worlds***
get taken over
regress back to a more primal and earthy state
modern living can get to be a bit much
use our technology to heal our souls***
let it all hang out
nothing to hide
have as much fun as possible
the clear reason
united
drawn together in unison
march to the same beat
this is our community
enjoy it while its there, glide through the crowds and let yourself go while you can
all about the electricity
amidst the crowd
positive energy
celebrate being alive
mean something
a funneled expression of your inner self
let your inner self out
all about expression
we're all performers tonight
one big body jam session
truest form of expression
taking it back to a primal form
move mountains
you have the power to make a difference
keep spreading the good word
you can change the world
everything swirls around
get caught in the maelstrom
move in unison, lose your head, connect
undeniable adrenaline
authenticity
this is your freedom
peaks of inner greatness
chase after this world
breath this in
the rhythm in my head has taken over
tonight is ours
dont get caught
brilliant
drunk and dancing
make love
perspiration
live in ecstasy
im a kid again
breathtaking
the room convelesces with people
jaw hanging open shocked by the vivacity of the scene
it comes second nature
changes your world
standing amongst the masses
at peace with the world and suddenly it all seems to make sense
renewed
back to form
energized in ways you havent felt for years
welcome back

we dreamed a dream we thought would never die
i was left to carry on

fight, draft 4
verse:
there are some people
pressing my buttons
i going to walk away
ultimately this happens
im losing my mind
im take swipes
i should've gone away
but im not right or nice
chorus:
some people want to say
how great brawlin is
they are so fuckin happy
that im fightin for them...
you'll be bloody
maybe be humble
no energy
and you're living ideals
verse:
i yell out all my insults,
falling into fits.
drawn into so many fights
over bullshit.
sometimes i feel like a bad guy
'cause i do some bad things
[i do it for glory
but pain is all i bring]
checking myself out after a fight
i had a broken nose
head was quite sore
and i had broken toes
im so wounded, yeah
im stubborn and proud
i swear im the best
but im losing ground
im not trying to be a saint
and there's blood on my hands
i've got goals to be a better man (redemptiom, yeah.)
i wanna be redeemed
everybody who knows me
knows that im so bloody guilty
i'm tryin to fix my flaws
i'm a mountain climber
chorus:
some weirdos love to say
how great it is fucking around
with all those fights
it beats me suddenly and im down
suckered and broken
i'm humble and feelin so strong
wasting my time
i was wrong.
there are some people
pressing my buttons
i going to walk away
ultimately this happens

im take swipes

i'm tryin to fix my flaws
i'm a mountain climber
chorus:

fight, draft 2
walk into a fight
lookin down barrels of a gun
i should turn around right now
but i don't dare break into a run!
my eyes are wide open
and i dont want this
needa clean out my anger
get calm and reach bliss
but sometimes there are people
who just try to push me around
and while i try to back away
without being run into the ground
i lose my composure
get drunk and take some swings
i really shoulda left and calmed myself
but i end up lingering
yes it hard to be strong
in strange this way
i dont wanna fight
just wanna turn the page
im not trying to save face
i do want to do good
but i get sucked in sometimes
its hard to change the mood
chorus:
sometimes people like to say
brawlin is so great
they seem so delighted!
but, this is what its like!
you'll be bloody and broken
you'll be humble maybe proven
all your energy is wasted
if you're trying to live an ideal
verse
sitting on my bed
and thinking about fights
i messed up
and focused on wrongs not peoples rights
ignored my own development
lashed out in frustration
guilty of handed out pain
and i fucked her over again
i am a fool, oh yeah!
but i swear i felt so wronged!
sometimes i act like my bruises..
are important but i'm bum!
we're so stupid and make ourselves big
we try to make ourselves great
i shouldn't throw punches
thats not what i want for my fate
chorus
but some people like to say
that its so fun to play
all of these fightin games
if you believe that no hope remains
somebodys bloody and broken
youre humbled and feelin proven
it was a waste time
blinded by chivalry you're not a knight
verse
ive assessed the situation
ive got a broken nose
my head is feelin sore
and i have some broken toes
i'm wounded
stubbornness and pride
i can fight real well
but im lost inside
i yell out my insults
and i fall into fits
drawn into battle
i'm obscured by mists
i feel like a monster
i've done bad things
it was all for glory
pain is all i bring
im definately no saint
what with all the blood on my hands
but i swear i have goals
i really do wanna be a better man
everybody knows
that i'm guilty on all counts
i'm a work in progress
but i'll climb the mountain
some people like to say
that its fun to play
all those fighting games
every night every day
i was suckered and im broken
im humble and strong
i wasted my time
i was wrong all along
toll has been taken
my wrongs are clear
friends are broken
knocked 'em out but i had no fear
hacked away at goodness
destroyed all things
i put my weapons away
and peace is what i bring
lookin down barrels of a gun
i should turn around right now
but i don't dare break into a run!
my eyes are wide open

sitting on beds
contemplating nights
mistakes were made
friends in fights
drawn like a moth
you entered the flame
fell down the stairs
and played their game
like a fool
you came home wronged
you had your bruises
and sang your songs
built yourself up
and felt quite good
but you threw punches
and thats no good
chorus

broken nose
head is sore
a few broken toes
what was it worth
a bit of pride
they took their licks
but youre dead inside
yelling your cusses
and shaking your fists
drawn into the heat
thoughts in the mist
and you are a monster
you terrible thing
and in truth you stand
for chaos and binging
youre no saint
with bloodstained hands
youve hurt your friends
and sullied the lands
now people all know
your guilt is clear
fighting your way
wasting your beer

fisticuffs
all night and day
bloodied nad brittle
humbled and strong
wasting time
righting pointless wrongs

you see your wrongs
your friends are hurt

a reaction to revelation
Pain, she cries out, wince and stumble, clenched fist and gut, as the deck sways in the storm, and the wave wracks the bow. Onward we sail.
Dying over and over inside the black wracks me cold and painful clutching at my soul and wrenching my heart I cough up black blood and smile
The shudderng howl of wretched things stains my mind as I stumble through streets hazed and forgottn staggerng to the hovel where I may rest
And through the pained darkness light shines with birds singing sweet songs of summer and whimsy while trees whether the heat stoic + tall
Life is as it was and nothing seems changed only within does the writhing torment make itself known.
With a pained step I pull myself through space and take myself to a better place to die in. So charming the moment that pain itself abates
Tear choked eyes and weather beaten brow a man a husk of flesh and wretchedness spiraling through space drawn by sweet things a monster..
Upon his back the weight of the world as the thundering sound of industry makes real the serene green space and gives edge to beauty..
Swaying through walkways altogether disconnected and weary with heat and sadness laden down and torn apart a mangled man manages a smile.
And a bite of the lip a deep breath in and a slight light feel brings some spring to step as old familiar meets cold and empty. Renewal.
Alone but hopeful fucked and forlorn yet edgy and sparkling he staggers on through the the threshold to new warmth and worlds.
And somehow if only held up from the inside like a scarecrw he blows in the wind and smiles, lets wounds hit breeze and listens to the birds
Dark and depraved, wretched and hollow begins to change to hopeful. And though trespassed against with unpunishable crimes whimsy hits.

cerebral
cerebral
we're on the edge today
we don't know what we're going to do
we're on the edge
we're in the hole
sitting in bed
mind smashed open and heart crushed
we're on the verge
we're on the edge
everythings collapsing
but we push on
we fight with the strength of all that we've seen and been
we are the sum of everything that came before us
that which drives us is within our soul
inherent the will to survive
we push through teh difficulty with dignity and class
as we find something nearby that makes everything make sense
we are fighting for meaning and for footing
the place ahead is murky but its better than this hole
and we want to find better ways to get ourselves out of this daze
we're stuck in the murk and grime as inside we just can't make it through
its a weird setup but we still have heart
and with a drink we have our moment
the time is right and we strive forward
everything makes sense
and we're making it do what needs done
and we don't let ourselves become run out without any
we'll make it to the place where we can do whats necessary
you can't hate just respect and appreciate
allow yourself to open up to other people while also maintaining your inner steeple
you are your people and you fight through the bullshit
and its better to allow yourself ot open up and experienceit
don't let yourself get taken over but instead allow yourself to experience
move through life and make certain your path is what you want it to be
life offers itself to you and you need to make something of the plate
the seizure necessary and something inevitable if you know whats best
you might instead fight it off and be by yourself
but you might find that if you allow yourself to let certain thinsg into your life
you might find happiness and equilibrium
choose your fights well
because each one takes alot out of you
you can't fight forever
and if you fight everything you will never win
so choose your fights wisely
make sure you don't waste your time
it's all improtant to make sure that you can get out
and if you can't then give out a shout
you will get help and thats all important
but if you don't bother to do anything then you'll be out

an interesting position draft#1
this is kinda weird for me
ive got a broken heart
but ive got a smile here
it doesnt hurt alot
the girl she calls and we have talks
and think about the past
we try to make sense of it all
and let it rest at last
but i dont know why this is this
i dont get why we did it bad
but that seems to be how we are
i dont seem to know why it is
we talk on phones nad have our words
and talk about the past
the girl is pissing me off now
she's really fuckin obsessed
she tells me she wants to talk now
and says ill call you back
she makes me wait and i get mad
and leave the room instead
we go back and forth on this shit
we try to find a ground
a place where we can stop ourselves
and get to lost and found
this is the way we do our thing
its sortof weird i know
but as we make our way through this
the pain does tend to grow
and as the pani increases then
the tolerance goes up too
and i learn lessons through confessions
thats got me through
i sit through this and think about
all the wretched years
we pulled our hair and didnt care
we truely had no fears
but such was that / doomed to fail
we didn't know much
but we continued on woefully
held up by a crutch
we didnt know anything at all we just sat by and whined
and if thats all we had then thats the way we passed our time
and if it seems so strange to you then fuck off and get bent
we'll drink our booze and continue through the way we've always meant
i loved this girl more than the world and it shone quite clear
i love her deep and loved her dear but now we're spread and done
its always hard when you split up but this one was the worst
i loved her to the ends of tiem and ended up burst
but this is how we make our way
we fight until the dawn of day
and find out how we can survive
and then we'll grow and finally thrive
we fought each other so damn hard with bloody knuckled fists
we pushed our way through night and day and continued throgh the mists
we didnt know where we were then and we just forged ahead
we just took ourselves and pushed on forth through the undead
we never knew what we were through
we just pushed on instead
we never looked back, fuck that place
we just continued instead
i loved her dear she loved me too we fought against ourselves
we tried to push our way through this but it just exploded instead
we found ourselves walking away and it was painful too
we didn't know what we were going to fucking do
but as we sat upon the edge we talked and toed the pool
we felt ourselves falling instead into the world gloom
so we pushed ourselves and found our way through all the brakc and brine
we managed tofight until we found a better place and time
it kept us strong and kept us good we knew we'd find it soon
we fought each other mother daugther son and father too
ive got a broken heart
but ive got a smile here
it doesnt hurt alot
the girl she calls and we have talks
and think about the past
we try to make sense of it all
and let it rest at last
but i dont know why this is this
i dont get why we did it bad
but that seems to be how we are
i dont seem to know why it is

i will fight til i get where i want
i will fight til i get where i want
ll never give up and ill always try
ill be good and i swear that i wont be shit
cause ive got the goodness in my soul
ill be fighting until i get to what is worth
and that will be my end
i will be content, i will stop the fight
i will sit and enjoy the world
i will make sure that i will try to compete
i will make sure that they won't win
they will try to bring me down, they act like im some clown
but in the end i swear i'll win
they think they'll pull me down
but instead they'll just frown
'cause i won't submit to their shitty ends
it'll take them by surprise
i'll get them in their eyes
'cause they won't see me coming then.
i'll just make sure im good
i'll just run this whole hood
'cause im feeling good and they don't stand a chance
it's just kindof fuckin strange
that the world is of this age
and i'm really feeling restless in my soul
i'm just standing fucking tall
as the wind begins to call
and the sky turns black and clear
as i walk about the streets
and walk past the drunken packs
it'll keep my nose clean thinking bout the end
ill just keep on moving up
as the people tend to suck
and ill find a better place to end up
there's so many bastards here
they just make themselves clear
and i'll just skip over every one and say
ive seen many fuckin wars
and ive been here before
ive just never thought id be back again
ive come back to these old streets
and ive talked to old peeps
they just keep be tangled up in this old place
ive just fought another war
with another fuckin whore
and ive found myself lost again
this town dies at fuckin four
i really want some more
but that is the it this is the end
now im studying all my work
and im working fuckin hard
just to try and make some sense
of this old fuckin guard
as they work on their own ways
they enshrine the good old days
and it really sees quite
to me
but ive fought with all the weirds
and they remark about beards
as they dont have any fortitude themselves
theyre in awe of my style
it'll take them all awhile
jsut to get to where i am - thems the breaks
but as i sit on my chair
and i imagine everywhere
all the dark and danced up dresses of the girls
bagels and gyros over here
as the crowd becomes clear
these are midnight dwellers communing in the night
the dead black is thick
and the shots are strong
as we take our hits and move on to the bar
there's another place next door
lets go there and get some more
shots on me so no excuses lets drink more
as we get to our place
you seem to ruin the place
and ill say youre a fuckin annoyin one
you waset all our fuckin time
and you sit back and whine
and expect us to take in your briny shit
but i reckon you dont think
that i'd really call your stink
and its messin with my mind fuckin fool
just shut off that fuckin racket
lets just get on with our stroll
let adventures unfold before ourselves
this is our fucked up town
and the people are so strange
revealing dresses and parted hair
designer fuckin clothes
and yoga regimines
workin out to show of muscles for the girlsi
ll never give up and ill always try
ill be good and i swear that i wont be shit
cause ive got the goodness in my soul
ill be fighting until i get to what is worth
and that will be my end
i will be content, i will stop the fight
i will sit and enjoy the world
i will make sure that i will try to compete
i will make sure that they won't win
they will try to bring me down, they act like im some clown

there's so many bastards here
they just make themselves clear
and i'll just skip over every one and say
ive seen many fuckin wars
and ive been here before
ive just never thought id be back again
ive come back to these old streets
and ive talked to old peeps
they just keep be tangled up in this old place
ive just fought another war
with another fuckin whore
and ive found myself lost again
this town dies at fuckin four
i really want some more
but that is the it this is the end
now im studying all my work
and im working fuckin hard
just to try and make some sense
of this old fuckin guard
as they work on their own ways
they enshrine the good old days
and it really sees quite
to me
but ive fought with all the weirds
and they remark about beards
as they dont have any fortitude themselves
theyre in awe of my style
it'll take them all awhile
jsut to get to where i am - thems the breaks
but as i sit on my chair
and i imagine everywhere
all the dark and danced up dresses of the girls
bagels and gyros over here
as the crowd becomes clear
these are midnight dwellers communing in the night
the dead black is thick
and the shots are strong
as we take our hits and move on to the bar
there's another place next door
lets go there and get some more
shots on me so no excuses lets drink more
as we get to our place
you seem to ruin the place
and ill say youre a fuckin annoyin one
you waset all our fuckin time
and you sit back and whine
and expect us to take in your briny shit
but i reckon you dont think
that i'd really call your stink
and its messin with my mind fuckin fool
just shut off that fuckin racket
lets just get on with our stroll
let adventures unfold before ourselves
this is our fucked up town
and the people are so strange
revealing dresses and parted hair
designer fuckin clothes
and yoga regimines
workin out to show of muscles for the girlsi

in progress
sitting on the ground, our gathering place (we talk with friends and plot our race)
in the sky above, so many bright lights (we count the starts and bid them good night)
astronomers in college, so full of themselves (they talk about the worlds certain end)
depressing sods, religious fools (they need to chill out and bend the rules)
bums begging for change, i dont have any money (and if i had some i'd just buy a beer)
i'd buy a beer and suggest the same for them (but I won't buy them one that's not why i came here)
my local brew pub stood the test of time (the legendary high street addition)
scarlet and grey to drink and play (a barfight and cop cars a permanent fixture)
an epic performance we had our fun (the people bobbed heads and cheers were earned)
we played our set written on whiskey reciepts (hastily written before our go)
the ground was shaken we stomped and danced (we caused a scene and cops were called)
drink your beers and laugh this is the end (dont go home sad, we had our fun)
for those who linger, poor souls without friends (quite and covered but hearts full of gold)
the town is empty and a noble pursuit (so go for a walk and take a look)
the night is thick with blanketing darkness (the best time to roam without fear)
whipping air cold reminds of englands weather of old (one day ill return and sample that wind)
our town is our playground in the night-time (we have our fun from day until night)
we are the players enjoying every move (the game is afoot and adventures abrew)
we roam around freely the blessing of our nation (walk without fear a wonderful thing)
without hesitation exploring and taking roads where they go (you never know where you'll end up bro)
walking up concrete block by block (the mechanical nature of construction)
looking at trees older than hell (generations of man died while it grew)
looking at buildings concrete and tall (our fixation points and lights of the city)
listening to the breeze a whispering lullaby (singing us to sleep as we walk and sigh)
ride on your bikes whipping air a beauty (ride through the stream and race through the air)
through empty streets at the right time (when people are gone and roads are bare)
rocks and pebbles bumping wheels the roads uneven (we never said it was luxery)
riding away from night until day (we make our way through the city lights)
through the streets of our fair city (so old and grand and new all the same)
glide through the air as it whips around (and let yourself listen to the whipping sound)
people are sleeping, lying in beds (tired as hell from jobs worked hard)
on the bare streets, never know where you'll go (thats the adventure of the open road)

sitting in a room with people unknown
sitting in a room with people unknown
as i push down the keys and in my mind groan
one too many coffees drunk by me
im just caught in the drift of this magnificent sea
ive got before me a great challenge indeed
a test im destined to fail it seems
but i tell myself not to worry, that its not worth the frenzy
to just rest up and spare myself the fencing
im adrift but am buoyed by familiar things
those noises that draw my heart open with strings
and home now empty beckons to me
it says please treat me gently
ive abused the walls
the carpet has been thrashed
ive drunk too many pints
my brain has been mashed
but im still in school
getting a degree
although my girl
has moved away from me
it hurts and it feels so strange to say
that things have turned out quite this way
but she will come back home one day
at least thats what she'll say
i'd rather it turn out that way to be honest
it's not a decent prospect
to imagine being alone in this place
its a time and a place i'd rather just erase
but facing the music is my british stiff lip
its there inside me and with a quip
im off to the races and doing my thing
its that american laborer and indian ping
the pc is old and probably all dusty
and im an all dried up crabby and musty
but ive got a test to throw myself upon
we'll go get this done and we'll then go back home.

a whirring noise
a whirring noise
in a room with people
lights ablaze
minds feeling feeble
printer a-humming
and voice overhead
cool breeze blowing
encroaching dread
caffinated conviction
and approaching memorial
scratched down scalp
gettin back that old time feel
learning to talk with a better mode
more deep and eprsonal with conviction
the thrill of the moment back in hand
freeing myself from malediction
accepting the help from the outside world
and making a few friends on the way
new years eve passes pleasantly
as night turns into day
cool winter breeze and snow on the ground
poorly put together backpack
printer fees cheap but a hassle all the same
comedy magazines all whack
student org fairs and pizzas slices
seven dollar large for the win
intervews on screens loud for all to hear
competing egos creating a din
girlfriend at home and me at the keys
electronic ciggarettes are around
stress the trigger for our addictive processes
keep both feet firmly on the ground
heart feels sore as the chemical takes hold
and old vows are now remembered
this modern life stresses our bodies out
hot tubs keep our souls tethered.
