We Spend Money
03:41
|
|||
You can bet your life, your home
Everything you own
Toiling in unending despair
Decrying about whether or not it's all fair
An obstacle to reality
The banality of this duality
Or an exercise is neo quasi-personality
We spend money
That we don't have
On the things that we don't need
To impress people we don't know
To impress people who don't care

Happy Or Right?
04:56
|
|||
With rampant mood swings - she will crush his dreams
She will do such things - to control extremes
She'd rather be happy than be right
I'd rather be right than be happy
Cuz if I am right then I will be happy
Happy even though she will not go
She will not go, she just won't go
A great place to go for a spell or spot
Is anywhere that she is not
But now if you must
Ask yourself be you rather happy than be right
If so lock the one you live with up at night
Up at night, she'd rather be happy than be right
I'd rather be right than be happy
For if I'm right - I'll then be happy

The End Before It Began
03:25
|
|||
Of you I've scant interest in
And how can I begin
To explain how the end was at end
Before it began
That's how fast it started to end
It was the end before it began
Each day I found you could not get worse
Then the next day I found you could
You gave the worst of both worlds
That's how fast it started to end
It was the end before it began
Actually it was you not me
Don't take it pejoratively
Don't take it personally

Zodiac Panic
01:11
|
|||
We're too ill-at-ease to do
Anything we used to do
Your omnipresent elbow in my back
Our Zodiac Panic

Which Liver Shiver?

With us, all of us I've low expectations
Too familiar with our erroneous zones
I'm going back to where and when I was
Cuz yer a highly organized Virgo
Finding you more vain than Rousseau
Everything got weird once you started producing that strange fire
Gotta get back to where and when I was
And yer at the top of my To Don't list
Oh I'll be getting back to where I when and was
And I'm also waiting til I get to Heaven to ride a horse
You'll see how and know why it does
I'm getting back to where and when I was

Utter Quackery
04:15
|

Utter quackery
Like people who smile at policeman
Utter quackery
When you say I say things when I don't
It's not you - it's me
But don't take it personally
Ok, maybe it's you
But don't take it personally
It's utter quackery
He didn't pick up a penny he saw on the sidewalk
He left it for an even bigger loser than himself
Like the kind of a guy who would ask a woman out-
While he was looking at her car that she had listed for sale in the newspaper

This Rigged Game
04:12
|
|||
I can't get past the Past
I keep looking back
Consumed with regret
I just can't forget
The view from my cage
I see so much that is crude
Like when the Bros. Lopez served inauthentic Mexican food
The difference between me and you
Is the difference between cement and glue
I don't know why but I know it's true
And for that this means
For that this means this is a rigged game
You got to name it and claim it
Blab it and grab it
Confess to possess
You doubt you go without
This life is set up for you to lose
No matter what you might choose
So thank God for good luck and chance
I can't get past the Past
I keep looking back
This inner struggle of fate wretched and complex
Don't ever ask what's...
Thank God for good luck...
And - Don't ever ask what's next (what now?)

The Grand Scam of Things
02:52
|
|||
A man convinced against his will
Is of the same opinion still
Some cosmopolitan angle of enlightenment
Persuades you of your entitlement
Unknowing in what it brings
Unknowing it's the grand scam of things
Capitulating to the spirit of the age
And what it brings
Unwilling to accept your wish is not the bell that rings
Unwilling to accept it's the grand scam of things

You Remind Me of Detroit
02:35
|
|||
I'm open to new ideas
Just not any of yours
And I'm not sure what you're planning
But plan to keep me out
You're a hyper-skanky maladroit
And you remind me of Detroit
You remind me of Detroit
But not in a good way
You remind me of Detroit
There's a bigger part of me
For a better part of you
When that shines through
You'll know what I'll do
Until then cram it up yer chrome
Get up, get out, go back home
