What you get
03:54

You are so naive
You are insecure
Maybe I am too
But I know where it don't hurt
Maybe I'm a liar
Maybe I'm a thief
Steal your prize without spending a dime
I'll give you what you need
What you see is what you get
Nothing's changed since last we meet
I wanna see you act
On my movie set
You know I'm in the lead
You know it's me you see
I can purge all your tension
I can satisfy your need
My glass is half-full
Yours is flowing with class
Don't plan on drinkin all of it
I just want some of that
You are the white stallion
And I am the dark horse
A race lost at the onset
I just stayed the course
What you see is what you get
Nothing's changed since last we meet
I wanna see you act
On my movie set
You know I'm in the lead
You know it's me you see
I can purge all your tension
I can satisfy your need
What you see is what you get
Nothing's changed since last we meet
I won't cut the slack
That keeps bringing me back
You know I'm in the lead
You know it's me you see
I can purge all your tension
I can satisfy your need
What you see is what you get
What you see is what you get
Nothing's changed since last we meet
What you see is what you get

I want my bong
03:16
|
|||
|
Take my freedom
Take my life
just don'e take my hemp
or my bong from my bedside
Ridculous legislation
and feeble minds
rules that make no sense
that I cant get stoned tonite
Wish I could get baked in public
Wish I could get stoned
Come on and sing along
I want my bong
in 1776 a document was made of hemp
I would;ve got stoned too
if I knew the British were coming

Do I look stupid Do I look dumb You take advantage of me When I cum
Your smile is fake And you like it foul Now that I'm your push-over And your fuck pal
Liar, Liar, Liar, Liar You don't like me You want to piss on me You don't need me You want to castrate me You make incisions On my skin When I'm sleeping When I'm limp You like to stab me Now that I'm done Now that it's over You reach for your fake gun Liar, Liar, Liar, Liar
You don't like me You want to piss on me You don't need me You want to castrate me

Steppin Forward
03:10
|

|
My head is up In the clouds Don’t know how To deal with doubt What I do wrong Speaks aloud When I do right I feel let down I’m insecure But it doesn’t show I’m afraid I’ll lose control What others don’t think Is what I know Maybe it’s time To just let go I’m steppin forward One more time I’m steppin forward One more time I’m steppin forward One more time Got to step forward Those who stepped before me Had the will and courage to see Maybe I’m just a nobody With everything to lose except my needs I’m steppin forward One more time
Don’t have the courage to lie Don’t have the courage to open my eyes Don’t know if it’s worth my time But maybe I should try I’m stepping forward One more time Gotta step forward

Why haven't we fought
04:02
|

|
I know a way, It's better than it was yesterday
Let the steam make, all we need to profit today
Lets create, something that won't go away
If it don't take, won't matter since we won't see the day
What have we done What have we sunk
What have we begun What will this become
They sold us change and a better way
Only to find out we sacrificed where we stay
What have we done What have we begun
What we have lost Why havent we fought
What have we taught What have we tossed
What will be the cost
Why haven't we fought
Remember the day
When everything stayed the same
No rush to make
Artifacts that will litter our grave
What have we done
What will all of this become
What's left to save
We''ve lsot our way
What have we done
What have we begun
What will will be the cost
Why haven't we fought

Facebook Fatigue
03:09
|
|||
|
Everyone’s doing it
I guess I have to too
Everyone’s got a wall
Everyone’s posting their news
Please don't stalk me I don’t really know you Another friend’s request & a survey
More worthless news
I got Facebook fatigue It’s an annoying disease
I got Facebook fatigue My eyes are falling asleep
There are some crazies in here
Posting up their feelings
Talking bout their lobotomies
Posting on their toenail clippings
Pillow fight challenges everyday
Along with a virtual chug My brain is spinning from All of these virtual drugs
I got Facebook fatigue It’s an annoying reality
I got Facebook fatigue My eyes are falling asleep
My eyes are growin tired
I have all these posts to read
One million posts from 1000 friends
I need to drop some of these deadbeats
I post every move I make For everyone to read
I’m my own columnist I'm my own celebrity
I got Facebook fatigue It’s an annoying disease
I got Facebook fatigue My eyes are bleeding from the screen
I got Facebook fatigue
It’s an annoying disease
I got Facebook fatigue I'm falling asleep

Two Teeth Grin
03:44
|
|||
|
I'm on hyperactive
they call me rugrat
crawling on the floor
on my stomach
I;m mean lil cutie
with a nasty grin
I'll cap you in the butt
when I screm and kick
I drool when I want
all over your shirt
I've been trained to
strategically splurt
all over Mama
as she loses her cool
5 minutes before
we go to the baby pool
So I'll scream and kick
until you give in
turn the TV off and on and every whim
I wpn't play with my toys
cause their not in my crib
I 'm mean little moefo
with a Two teeth grin

You like to tease me Talk behind my back You sneak behind me Stab me with your laugh You plagiarize my thoughts Place them on your lap For others to eat For others to snack I'm not your sick joke I'm not your messed up past I'm everything you could've been If you only knew how to live You like to put me down Every chance you get When I'm not around When I just left
You smile to my face And your mind is set On taking everything away That was your intent I'm not your sick joke I'm not your messed up past I'm everything you could've been If you only knew how to live You are disturbed And it shows It's eating away at The core you won't expose Why the deception You offer no reception Into what the issue is Where's the connection I'm on to you

Alcoholic Date
03:14
|
|||
|
Her eyes radiate
as I lie on the floor in waste
she picks me back up off my feert
but i only know I wanna stay
It's too late now
we're getting older everyday
Remembering less and less
recovering from this
Alcoholic date
Stumbling
I'm losing ground
but you are there holding me up
I never seem to keep balanced
and you never seem to get enough
It's too late now
we're getting older everyday
Remembering less and less
recovering from this
Alcoholic date
I'm wasting away
While I lie on the floor
while I lie on the floor anyway
It's too late now
we're getting older everyday
Remembering less and less
recovering from this
Alcoholic date

When I lost her
04:04
|
|||
|
A melted candle
is all I hold now
tragic page in a novel
was where it was left somehow
page unturned, frozen in time
scribed into my mind
the past is laid to rest
as falls the nite
I remember piercing steel
and I remember it didn't seem real
I remember what should have been
I remember when I lost her
Always an inspiration
seeing her smile again
now memories taper off
oncoming lights ahead
how could it have misshaped
and gone unplanned
wheels that kept on spinning
our destination not on this map
I remember broken glass
and I remember I didn't react
I remember what should have been
and I remember when I lost her
I remember piercing steel
and I remember it didn't seem real
I remember what should have been
I remember when I lost her
I remember steel so sharp
and I remember her look still haunts
I remember what I should've said
and I remember when I lost her

It's just a dream
03:07
|

|
Hollow footsteps Walk about I'm asleep but I can't seem To turn my head up loud A presence cuts the corner At the foot of my bed Can't move my arms at all It's no longer in my head It's just a dream It's just a dream but I can't get out It's just a dream It's just a dream
and I can't shout out aloud Blurred vision Doesn't seem to show An unknown spectacle that
Doesn't want to be known My hair is standin up straight All over my skin Don't know who decided this fate Or when this will end It's just a dream It's just a dream but I can't get out Snap out of it
It's not real Snap out of it Screw that it's surreal
