I try to be cool
try to be fun
that's my crime
imposter
wannabe
it's a lie
trying to fit in
wanna be cool
I'm the fool
who am I trying to be - - I know that it ain't me
peer pressure
I try to be cool
try to be fun
that's my crime
trying to fit in
wanna be cool
Not my time
trying to fit in
it's a lie
this ain't cool
who am I trying to be - - I know that it ain't cool
peer pressure

TIE
03:39

I've got stained glass on my wall
representing all four seasons
I've got white socks in a bag
on my piano and hanging in my closet
I've got ties with stains on them
that I'll never wear (and I don't care)
Light switch sun and moon
The moon's winking at me
My work is done here
I've made up my mind
I finally feel like
I'm not falling behind
My work is done here
And I'm alright
I already have a favorite dish
A favorite band and a favorite fish
There's no changing that I want to change
The idea of something new seems so strange
I will likely die before I ever
buy a tie again
And that's okay
My work is done here
I've made up my mind
I finally feel like
I'm not falling behind
My work here is done
And I'm alright
My work is done
And i'M okay
I've made up my mind
I finally feel like
I'm not falling behind
I've made up my mind
I've made up my mind
There's no changing that I want to change
The idea of something NEW seems so strange
I will likely die before I ever
buy a tie again
And that's okay

CREPE

|
riding my crepe
riding my pancake
riding my dough
riding my biscuit
riding my cookie
riding my bread
riding my waffle
riding my croissant
riding my cracker
riding my crepe
xmas jacket seems so strange
target is just out of range
cut the bamboo down and see
bear is looking back at me
what's revealed
what's congealed
what's been stealed
It's not real
I can't feel
make a deal
where's my meal
I'll never heal

LEFT AND RIGHT

And the Lawyer said
what is this you have done?
I have done nothing wrong
I represent my client
seeking out corruption
alternative facts
to support the story
he wants to tell
Television is the opiate of the masses
We divide and conquer many classes
We know how the game is played
we know good and right is good and bad
and right is wrong is right and left
right and left
What of the slave who loves his master
What of the ox who loves his yoke
What of the glutton who loves his bed
What of the poor who loves this joke
What of the faithful who believe
What of the preacher selling lies
What of the victim who loves his abuser
What of the tempted who resist
And the secretary he defends the boss
and the boss controls the cabinet
we want to tell the story
of alternative facts
right and left
What of the desperate who persist
What of the tempted who resist
What of the hungry who love starvation
What of the victim who loves his nation
What of the preacher selling stories
What of the faithful who believe
What of the poor who loves the rich
What of the glutton who loves his bitch
What of the ox who loves his yoke
What of the slave who loves his master
What of the slow who love it faster
left and right

ADVICE FROM THE DEAD
03:38

I told you once baby
Told twice baby beware
Sometimes I live like
Live like I don't care
Nobody cares anyway
There's no growth without change
January One is a real day
When we start again....
I love my life
I love my wife baby beware
Sometimes I come across
As if I care
But I don't
Nobody cares anyway
There's no growth without change
January One is a real day
When we start again....
I go to work baby
Do good work - I care
Sometimes I hide inside
and I wont share
Nobody cares anyway
There's no growth without change
January One is a real day
When we start again....
I told you once baby
Told you baby beware
Sometimes I live like
Live like I don't care

LAD

my left anterior descending artery
is a fine LAD
gets plenty of calcium and cholesterol
and that's bad
you'll try to be the death of me
meanwhile I live how I will
I eat drink sex sleep dream instead of pill
I challenge you, to challenge my freewill
I pretend I have a say
I pretend I have a voice
so I sing in sotto voice
