American Trip

Watchin the TV glued and unknown
Hope I'm on a reality show
Get a million for bein a hoe
I got high goals
I'm part of the whim
the next fad is in
watch the bubble burst
I'm on an American Trip
Religious zealots preachin for news
Get my kid out of those schools
Politicians linin their truths
With only lies that soothe
I'm part of the whim
the next fad is in
watch the bubble burst
The next stock market tip
I'm part of the whim
the next fad is in
I might be the problem
It's myAmerican Trip
I'm brainwashed
by antennas on a box
All I think about is how I'm gettin off
All I think about is how I'm gettin off
Do you want to jerk me off
I'm on an American Trip

Can't understand
what's the deal
pullin out my hair again
you only know how to steal
what you can't have
you took all my money
took my belongings
let me keep the dog
before you file for alimony
She's a bitch
and I don't need her shit anymore
All my strength is drained
when you place the blame
nothin left to say
just give me back my last name
Not gonna take it back
you're a pain in the ass
I refuse to
put up with all you're crap
I won't come clean
I just want to forget you
nothing but grief to me
and now we're fuckin thru
She's a bitch
and I don't need her lip anymore
All my strength is drained
when you place the blame
nothin left to say
just give me back my last name
All my strength is drained
when you place the blame
you're fingers pointing my way
but I got back my last name

Let you go
04:09
|

|
Careful what I say
I never hated you
Too young to know
about the truth
Scars don't show
dwelling on a past
sutpid I was
to even regret
Thought is was about you
thought it was about me
it was all about
who I'd grown to be
Maybe someday, I'll see you
Maybe someday I won't
I'm a better person now
And it shows
I'm older now
there were no mistakes
that were mase between us
It's just wasn't our fate.
Thought is was about you
thought it was about me
it was all about
who I'd grown to be
Maybe someday, I'll see you
Maybe someday I won't
I'm a better person now
And it shows.....
Maybe someday, I'll see you
Maybe someday I won't
I'm a better person now
Since I let you go....
Since I let you go....

Everyone's standin around
on this special day
I'm anxious as hell
to stuff some cake in the bride's face
Her eyes so lovely
and the gown all nice
can't wait to ruin it
can't wait to ruin it
Smash the bride's face with the wedding cake
Everyone gather around
the bride and groom are gonna cut the cake
little does she know
I'm gonna slam dunk it in her face
Don't be scared my dear
I really do love you
can't pass it up
havin cake all over you

Got an Attraction
03:50

Got an attraction I cannot quell So compelling I don’t know how Love my girl and she loves me What’s up with me staring I’ll keep pretending That I’m not interested I’ll keep retreating Will this just go away Got an attraction Blondes and brunettes redheads dancing Lushes skin to see run my eyes all over the screen I’ll keep pretending That I’m not interested I’ll keep retreating Will this just go away I got an attraction Too tough to ignore I wish I could Dismiss old versus new

Little people Awake from your slumber Trained to shudder & be humble Where am I to go Climbin up from the bottom rung While murders in the 1st degree Are let go to become celebrities Middle people Rise from you sleep Early to bed & early to rise a family You must feed Where am I to go Climbin up from the bottom rung While murders in the 1st degree Are let go to become celebrities The end justifies the means Trapped by the tongues of the preacher’s needs I’m goin to place my resignation With the almighty Higher people Rise from your gold-posted beds While visions of stock options dancing in your heads Where am I to go Climbin up from the bottom rung While murders in the 1st degree Are let go to become celebrities

Drink this case
02:47
|
|||
|
Wrackin my brain with a bottle of grain
can't keep on this path
stumbling within with my pack of sins
I got this down like a craft
Don't need a meeting to change my ways
I've been drinkin excessively
It's the only way
You know I'm gonna drink this case
Consider my failures
back in the past
never thought I'd live this long so I never needed to react
To your voice
I'm not your trained dog
I cut the leash a long time ago
so I don't need your resolve
Don't need a meeting to change my ways
I've been drinkin excessively
It's the only way
You know I'm gonna drink this case
Don't need a billboard
to tell me to change
my habits are soothing
now I'm drinking this case
Don't need a meeting to change my ways
I've been drinkin excessively
It's the only way
You know I'm gonna drink this case
PS - take care of your liver!

Livin is a Privilege
03:03
|
|||
|
People jumping out of windows There is no fate Babes thrown in dumpsters There are no golden gates Living is a privilege With my eyes open wide I see the devil in disguise With my eyes open wide He's everywhere Countries on high octane Starvation running rampid The voice of the people don't count Only when were picking up the pieces Living is a privilege With my eyes open wide I see the devil in disguise With my eyes open wide He's everywhere

You said you’d meet me there I pulled out my match And lit the spark Waiting in the dark Corner air Tales of fright Fill my head And what would happen If your not there Dreaded images I only see That you may have been taken Waiting for your return Shadows playin with me feverously Dreaded thoughts taunt and breathe That you are not here right now with me Tales of fright Fill my head And what would happen If your not there Dreaded images I only see That you may have been taken Dreaded images I only see That you may have been taken I hope it's you I see I hope it's you I'll breathe

This is why I got a DUI
02:46
|
|||
|
I forgot that I was drunk coming home from the bar far from being remotely sober then a cop pulls over my car I should've held my breath checked my confidence or even bit my tongue but screaming out the word bacon I should not have done The cop was not amused then I got abused This is why I got a DUI Drivin drunk from the bar I think I may have just hit it wasn't an ox or a mailbox but a cop car(oh shit) the cop got out and started to shout I can't wait to beat you down your going to jail life no bail I can't wait to take you downtown He sprayed me with mace then he pummeled my face

Best to you

As I hold you in my lap Wonder if you’ll ever be As wise as I am As ignorant as me See your little fingers Coverin up your eyes Too innocent & young To realize life How do I explain How do I teach How do I know what’s Best for you The day I can no longer breath How do I know What you should see How do I know When you no longer need me I don’t have all the answers That’s what frightens me When you ask about Life, love, & me How do I be the best to you As my parents were to me As I will be to you How do I explain How do I teach How do I know what’s Best for you The day I can no longer breath How do I know What you should see How do I know When you no longer need me
