 Nuclear Holocaust

 

Zombie children stare into the empty screen
Drunken father walks through the door
Burnt out father sits and dreams
Children got a beating last night, still they beg for more

Nuclear Holocaust
Trust is gone, faith is lost
2.3 9 to 5
If they didn't consume, they wouldn't be alive

President's on the 20'' box
ABC, CBS, NBC Fox
Tells us "We have dropped a bomb",
Tells us "Do not be alarmed"

...

Cocal-Cola, Motorolla
Debate on free-will and fate
You say "They do no harm",
You say "Don't be alarmed!"
You are too late, for the...

Nuclear Holocaust
Trust is gone, faith is lost
2.3 9 to 5
If they didn't consume, they wouldn't be alive

Dusk is here
And all are dying
-Given into fear without trying
How can I sympathize?
They did nought to postpone it...
They should have realized...
They should have known it was a

Nuclear Holocaust
Trust is gone, faith is lost
2.3 9 to 5
If they didn't consume, they wouldn't be alive

Dusk is here
And all are dying
-Given into fear without trying
How can I sympathize?
They did nought to postpone it...
They should have realized...
They should have known it was a

2.3 9 to 5
If they didn't consume, they wouldn't be alive

2.3 9 to 5
If they didn't consume, they wouldn't be alive

 

                                                     That's Alright With Me

Some call it love,
Others call it hate.
Some call it freedom,
Others call it fate.
Some say it's always just a minute too late,

And that's alright with me.

Some call it wisdom,
Others call it youth
Some call it beauty,
Others call it truth
Some call it whiskey,
Some call it sweet vermouth,

And that's a alright with me.

You know its passed you by,
You know it ain't here just yet.
You know it's always with you,
But sometimes you forget...

Some call it Jelly, others call it jam
Some call her Cynthia, others call her Pam...
Some say its who you are, some say its who I am...
And That's allright with me!...

... (next verse you gonna help me out on, alright???  I know it...  I'll tell you when...!)

Some call it modal, others call it bop...
Some call it soda, (come on..) others call it Pop! If it's goot be a hit, at least it can't be a flop!!!

And that's alright with me...
Yeah that's alright with me...
And that's alright with me............

 

                                                 Panenthea
 
And now your heart beat, syncopated and sweet
Betrays your hesitant and dissident feet
Yes all this rhythm that you feel
It is no dream it is quite real
Yet you just sit there contemplating retreat...
 
For me 100,00,000,000 suns pledge their shine
For me the sages sanctified father time
I've labored through ten thousand lives
With more than thirty thousand wives
Yet you deny me what is rightfully mine
 
Why don't you:

 
Believe in me- that's not idolatry
My love, my love is free...
But you must pay me well- and well in advance
- If you wish to fall into a trance

You'll wish to fall into a trance-
I'll help you fall into a trance-
 
 
Why don't you fall into a...
You've got to fall into a...
 
                     
Relax and fall into a trance 
  
There's just no use in always playing demure
I can assure you: My intetnions are pure
Don't be alarmed.
I mean no harm-
Simply surrender to my charm,
In time we'll conquer all five worlds and much more...
 
In fact all...

The birds and bees
They're begging on their knees
The 7even seas...
The dogs, the flees, and even all the plants...

Yes!

 

They wish to fall into a trance
They're going to fall into a trance
Why won't you fall into my...?
 
You're going to fall into a
Relax and fall into a trance!
 

lai-laia-dai-dai-dai-dai la-dai-dai-dai-dai 

lai-laia-dai-dai-dai-dai la-dai-dai-dai-dai  la-la ahhh!

 
Hope is lost
My power is fading
I can't bear the cost
I simply can't keep waiting
 
 
Please give me a chance........
 

I wish to fall into a trance, please help me fall into fall into a trance
I beg to fall into your....
I want to fall into a....
I need to fall into your trance...

 

Sometimes Why

 

I'd rather be a banker
Stealing from the poor
Counting on anxiety and vanity and war
I'd rather be in prison girl, a victim of the law
I'd rather be a congressman
'Cause lovin' you's a chore, yeah lovin' you's a chore

 

One day I'll be so debonair, like Miles in '62
Dressed up in silk Armani, but it will not be for you

 

I'd rather be a Philistine, with tastes you might find poor
With plastic covers on my couch and boy bands on my wall
I'd don't care for Dom Pergnion or Almas caviar
To me a screw top wine's divine
But lovin' you's a bore- yeah lovin' you's a bore...

 

One day I'll make you dance like Pablo did in 64
Just fantasize you're exorcising your demons on the floor!

 

I'm gonna be a soldier, fighting in Afghanistan
We'll sack Kabul and Baghdad too and then we'll take Tehran
I'm in it for the opium, and pretty Persian whores...
Well, you keep the petroleum,
'Cause lovin' you's a war- ah, loving you's a war- eh lovin you's a war..

X the #'s

 

There's a hole in the boat

Like the hole in the heart you neglected

And the lines that I wrote

Of a love that you left unreflected

 

Take your time

There's much more you will find

And make your bed, now you sleep in it

 

All of the walls between us all, oh how they wear us down

All of the walls between us all, of how they tear us down

 

la-di-dai-da-dai etc.

 

All the anger you fake,

 Let it all fade away little brother;

Like excuses we make

Just to be with each other

 

Take your time

There's much more you will find

And take a breath, soon there'll be nothing left of

 

All of the walls between us all, oh how they wear us down

All of the walls between us all, o, how they tear us down

 

All of the walls between us all, oh how we'll wear them down

Yes, all of the walls between us all, we're going to wear them down

 

la-di-dai-da-dai etc.

 

Show me how

C/Am
           
Show me how
Show me how
I never knew before

G/G7
I can see you're leaving me- before you slam that door...

C/Am

Just show me how
Yes, show me- I won't bother you no more

F/F#/G

Promises unspoken
Better left unbroken
Who have I been jokin' (no F#) anyhow?

C/Am

I guess that I was dreamin, and I see I've been denied

G/G7
I've lost before but you took more than just my foolish pride

C/Am

You left me here with nothing dear- I'm waiting for the tide

G                G7

To carry me away today unto the other side

C/Am

I see you've got no need for me-
I'm not your kind of man

G/G7-"

1st show me how,
Yes, show me how- I'll never ask again

F/G; F/G

Promises unbroken
Are better left unspoken anyhow...

......... + whistle ........

C/Am

Anyways, awe ayway
I'm man enough to know

G/G7-"

That you've got somewhere else to be, I'd better let you go

C/Am

Ah, wait a while, my little child, I can understand

G/G7-"

I'll walk beside you- be your friend- won't try to hold your hand

F/F#/G

Don't worry, I won't name you
I don't mean to blame you
Never tried to tame you (No F#) anyhow

C/Am x3 + C6

I wouldn't shame you now

So baby take your bow

And then you take your vow

But 1st you show me how

Oh yeah you show me how

Why don't you show me how?

Bad Egg

I ain't got no master, I ain't got no slaves

I ain't had no woman for 95 days
 
Ain't got no time, Ain't got no time, I ain't got no time
Well there ain't no time, there ain't no time, and there ain't no time...


Well I got me a brother, I gotta know his pain

Well I got me a brother, I got to know his pain

I'm still tryin' to be a Shepherd, no use for a Ca(i)n(e)


I Ain't got no time, Ain't got no time, Ain't got no time

I Ain't got no time, Ain't got no time, Ain't got no time

                        ........

When I talk to the father, it's like I'm talkin' to the son
Ain't nothin but a ghost there, an unholy one
Late at night, he sits alone and stares,
But he don't go home much- ain't no business there

He's out of time, he ain't got no time, I ain't got no time,
Well there ain't no time, ain't no time, ain't no time

.....

Well, I'll tell you 'bout my nana,
The woman needs saved,
She's got the blood of a mongrel
She's 'bout two thirds brave
Ah, she better learn how to use it, lest she take it to the grave...

Ain't got no time, Ain't got no time, well, there ain't  no time
I ain't got no time, I ain't got no time, We're out of time
We're out of time, We're out of time, We're out of time

 

Jericho

I got a gift waiting for her
But she wouldn't take it, cause:
Nobody told her how to hold the
Whole world right in her hand

She knows her hocus-pocus
She ought to learn how to focus it instead

Well I got a woman,
I ought to teach her how to treat her men

Take her down to Jericho

You know she lives in a fortress,
It's buried deep in the forest
She's waiting here for a chorus,
Song ain't castle- least it's not made of sand...
I made it out of clay

I Buried it in Jericho
                                           ...
She twist a chord, we can find her
She'll leave the red light behind her

Met her up in Jericho

...

She twist a chord, we can find her
She'll leave the red light behind her

I'll Marry her in Jericho

Made her up her up in Jericho...

Fairfield Foul Play

We can't know who you'll return to,
But you can't hide from tomorrow,
And you can't fight yesterday

You've just got thrills a-runnin' down my spine,
And as you fall, you remind me "it's over"
I see three on your shoulder
And you remind me of a soldier- a warrior I once knew
He's gone, it's over

Can't blame it on the rain,
(Sunshine)
My soul will fight on
(Setting)
I used to send all my best to all,
(I used to send all my best to all)
But now I simply can't afford you anymore
(But now I simply can't afford you anymore)

Soulongs (A Jews Blues)

My wait for you is soulong
My faith in you is so strong
My debt to you is paid off,
And I don't know what I'm 'fraid of

My legs, are tired from kneelin'
Buildin' strength for what you're dealin'
Can't explain just what I'm feelin'
And I'm beggin' for some healin'

Well I try to sustain, but I feel it again
Got a rope, out of hope and I can't stand the pain.
Double crossed. Who's the boss? Well I can't wash this stain
I've been lost and the cost has just outweighed the gain


(Rambam, Rambam: this conundrum, Rambam, has me humdrum, Rambam, feelin' n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-numb)

My growth was incremental ,
Now with you, it's exponential
Try to do what I was sent for
And you know I've got potential


Well I try to sustain, but I feel it again
Got a rope, out of hope and I can't stand the pain.
Double crossed, Who's the boss? Well I can't wash this stain
I've been lost and the cost has just outweighed the gain


(Rambam, Rambam: this conundrum, Rambam, has me humdrum, Rambam, feelin' n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-numb)

                        

(...fade out...)


Well I try to sustain, but I feel it again
Got a rope, out of hope and I can't stand the pain.
Double crossed, Who's the boss? Well I can't wash this stain
I've been lost and the cost has just outweighed the gain

 The Grind's Tone

You may think we've got the fire down below
You may think we ain't never growin' old

But then, you're the type to fight floods with flames,
And I told you Mercedes, don't need to kill to kill the pain

Well the hope is here, but the sun is sinking down
Better let the Barbers take this town

Well, you're the type, like's to show too soon
I've got an early lunch woman- meet me ten to noon...

..........

1, 2, 3, 4

Well, if your baby cries send lullabies, well if your baby cries send lullabies

Oh baby, don't you cry for me....

I've got stubby little fingers, and I sing off key......

Well, if your baby cries send lullabies, well if your baby cries send lullabies

Oh baby, don't you cry for me....

I've got stubby little fingers, and I sing off key......

The Death of the Lame

All the amputees come out to greet you

They bring their gourmet chocolates and their glossy postcards

They’ve all got uncles up in California, but they don’t want to work so hard

 

Well, all the refugees come out to meet with you

Practice their English, and especially their “R’s”

They ask you where you’re going, and they would join you

But they don’t like to roam so far

Dododo Dodo, dodo dododo

Dododo Dodo, dodo dododo

 

Dodododo dodododo

Dododo

Dododo

Dododo

 

Well, All the refugees some out to meet with you

They ask you where you’re from, and where you’re going

You’ll send a message back to California:

That they don’t want to roam so far

 

Dododododododo

 

They ask you where you’re going, and they would join you,

But they don’t want to work so hard

 

Dododododododo

 

We shouldn’t have to work so hard

I been a suck for a broken heart

 

I been a victim of a broken dream…

 

Could you be, a hand out there in front of me?

Come with me to the movies, and the factories…

 

Could you be/would you be….

Ambassador of my soul,

Ambassador of my soul?

I don’t know if you want to,

But you’re lady, she wants to

 

And now I think that you ought to,

Because you’re woman, she’s got to

Learn how to

 

Now I’m not saying you need to,

But if you want to succeed you-

Should know you’re woman will bow to

‘Bout any fool who knows how to-

You’ve got to…

 

I don’t know if you want to,

But you’re woman, she wants to

 

And now I think that you ought to,

Because you’re lady, she’s got to

 

Well, I’m not trying to blind you,

But I am so glad to find you.

Well, I am standing behind you.

I’ve been prayed to to remind you:

 

You’ve got to…

 

Learn how to…

Like Dogs

 

Katie Lapinski was a 7^th generation ping-pong pusher

And baby she told me, you that you can’t quite make a living,

But that that couldn’t stop her

 

Well, she was a slinger, and a beggar on the side

But she never lost her pride

 

Noooo Ohohoh

Better kept on the inside

Don’t you know? Ohohoh

 

And I ain’t saying that I ain’t sympathizin’

But when you look into my heart through my eyes and

You’re telling me, that I better get risin’

 

Well, maybe I’ve got a roll

And Maybe I’ll Play it

 

Well, Our lady, of 200^th generation of

The Sister’s of Sarah

Well I can’t tell you just what she means to me

‘cause she ain’t gone just yet

But I’ve got some feeling, I’d better learn how to show

 

Or maybe she’ll never know

Or, maybe I’ll never know

 

And I can’t say that I can’t understand,

But when you look down to my soul through my hand, and

You’re tellin’ me, I should be just a bit more demanding,

 

Well maybe I’ve got to,

And maybe it’s time to,

And maybe I need to

                     
Something inside tells me that this thing is coming around
As I watch it fall apart, it's time to build it up from the ground

And if its unstable we'll make it sturdy
And if its too tall, we'll make it humble

Some may have said that we're just too far out on a limb
But I think that we're still close to shore
And we can surely swim

And if we are drowning, throw us a line
And if we are grounded, then keep our feet dry
keep our feet dry
keep our feet dry
Swimming in time
Together we try
swimming in time

Back at the drawing board, and time just stands still
And if I confuse you, just relaize that I'll be here until
We manage to stand up on our own feet
And if we stumble, we can still fly
We can still Cry
Swimming in time
Together we try

Swimming in time
Swimming in time
Swimming in time
Swimming in time

 

Catch Me If I Fall

Locked down in this prison
I'm stuck losing vision

Time feels non-existent
And I continue to feel distant

But you fill my heart with joy
As I cry away my lonely nights

And if I manage to wake up, you'll be the first that I call
And as I notice the ledge- please catch me if I fall

Ooh, I'm so tired, and it's hard to keep my head up
I hold the key to my release,
But I can't arrested for disturbing the peace

Change is not my problem,
I make a habit, I be 'closed minded'.

And if I manage to wake up, you'll be the first that I call
And as I notice the ledge- please catch me when I fall

Somethings holding me back
Ah-but I'm bound for the right track
I've opened up the doorways and I'm walking through the corridor
I've been so uptight, but you tried to steer me right

And if I manage to wake up, you're gonna be the person that I call
And as I notice that ledge- please catch me if I fall
Please catch me if I fall
Please catch me if I fall
Please catch me if I fall

 

 

Lady Boy

 

Lady Boy, the best in Siam,

Well, you’re from Vietnam

But you can’t return

 

Lady Boy, Well just take my hand

And we’ll visit the fam,

And they’ll understand

 

Lady Boy: You’ll have to be a man,

And take off all those clothes,

And Show them all your rol(l/e)s

 

Lady boy, well don’t be discouraged

We’ll build up the courage

And take a stand

 

We’ll go from Ho Chi Minh

And it won’t be a sin

If you can make a man

Out of your lady kin

 

Lady boy x 7

 

Lady Boy, I know what you’ve been through,

And I win want to win too

But there’s a price

 

Lady boy what have you been into?

Now it’s not a sin not to take advice

 

But I want you to find

A little piece of mind

For it is time to shine

My Little Valentine

 

My little Lady Boy

Lady Man

Lady Boy!

Lady Boy!

 

 

Lolly

 

Hope and holograms

Flying cars, bionic hands,

 

But she is not impressed

No, she prefers her loneliness

 

Well all her world’s an open page,

But she is of a different age

 

Peace, and pumpkin pie

 

Nothing hurts, No one cries

 

-Alone, in solitude

Everyone is dancing nude

 

A world without a test

But she prefers to reminisce

 

Oh all her world’s a stage,

And she is of a different age…

 

 

Razer

 

Well, it doesn’t' mean your Yoda, cause you move shit with your mind

And it doesn't make you Gandhi, ‘cause you don't fight back

 

And it doesn’t mean you’re biggie cause you got a lazy eye

And it doesn’t make ya sober just ‘cause you don’t smoke crack

 

Now despite what you're expecting, this is not what you suspect

And it doesn’t’ make ya dirty ‘cause you’re shavin at the Bibliotech

 

Chorus:

 

It ain’t easy, if it was really easy,

You would not be cheatin me

And telling me that I still need you

 

It ain’t over, if it was really over,

You would not be holdin’ her,

And telling me that I still owe you

 

Well just because I got a clap, it doesn’t mean you should applaud

And just because my chicks is bouncin’ doesn’t mean that I’m a fraud

 

Now quit your cryin' 'bout the Karma, go to Kashi for to die

Because you probably thnik it's smoke, but that's just Shiva in disguise (in the skies)

 

Well just because you got my queen, that doesn’t mean that I’m in check,

But if you ask for me tomorrow, I’ll be shavin’ at the Bibliotech

                                                            The Utilitarian Rag

I've never seen a happy fly
My goal's become: before I die
To look an insect in the eye
And say: "Ah, that's your purpose!"

Mosquitos live a sorry life- They take and take and take all day.
They don't keep lesser bugs away.
I wonder: What's their purpose?

...

Awe, Lady Bugs are cute
I guess
They eat my fruit
And leave a mess
A Sharp rebuke
For sloppy guests-
I know not what's their purpose
