it ain't funny
my life is a mess
ain't got no money
no time to rest
I'm talking to you but I really don't have time to
happiness will find you if you're looking for it
you say I'm fine
and though i believe your words with my mind
I can't get no relief
you're talking to me and it's clear as day to see
happiness is free if you wan't it to be
yep
it puts a kick in your step
it's got what you need
but don't take it from me
cause you've got to see
you've got to see for yourself
you've got to get off the shelf
but don't take it from me

we're much more productive from the comfort of our rooms
we're casually seductive every 3 quarter moon
we might just take a marker & draw a line right down your face
the young ones think we're something
& the old ones swear that we're a disgrace
I'll take the room without the bed
a garage where I can unlodge what's in my head
& I will pay attention like I am in debt
but that don't guarantee that they'll agree
with all the words that I want said...once said
we're busy baking our own bread.
& doing the impossible once again
going out to the enemy & coming home with a friend
it's nice to see you truly realize
you're playing with fire...playing with fire.
steady as we take our shots
we barely notice all the gold that's in our pot
cause we been taking a little bit & making it a lot.
you know it's not a race so don't you waste
all of the good things that you've got...you got
that kind of shit that hits the spot
doing the impossible once again
going out to reality & coming back with the rent
it's nice to see you truly realize
they're telling lies...a boat load of lies
doing the impossible once again
folding origami without using your hands
it's nice to see you truly realize
your true potential

you're a complex creature
yeah you're the premium blend
you're a student & a teacher
yeah you're a lover & a friend
sometimes when it seems
to be tearing at the seams
you've got the pen & you're writing the next page of your dreams
they'll fight to get
the rights to it
they'll fight to get
the rights to it
you're a smile drawn in chalk
by an innocent child
you're always down for the walk
no matter how many miles
sometimes when it seems
to be tearing at the seams
you've got the pen & you're writing the next page of your dreams
they'll fight to get
the rights to it
they'll fight to get
the rights to it
& what they really need is right there in front of their face
yeah right there in front of their...
what they really need is right there in front of their face
yeah what I really need is right there in front of my face
yeah what I really need is right there in front of my face
reaching out
reaching out
yeah

point their fingers at the youth
who obviously aren't at fault
up to their necks in sugar looking for a grain of salt
the truth is that the truth will never surface on how
farmer Brown wound up with a mutilated cow
Farmer Brown wound up with a mutilated cow.
a far more distant race in a far more distant dimension
far from license plates and far from hair weave extensions
it sounded like a jumbo jet and looked like a cloud
farmer Brown wound up with a mutilated cow
Farmer Brown wound up with a mutilated cow.
follow the feeling that we are not alone
stare at the ceiling in our so called home
I give you truth, but I don't know how
farmer Brown wound up with a mutilated cow
farmer Brown wound up with a mutilated cow
*kazoo solo*

world in motion
you wrote your own release
your head is on
I hope you find your way
I hope you stop screwing around
I hope you stop screwing around.
magic potion
has left your head in the clouds
you're not quite sure
what this or that world is about
I hope you stop screwing around
I hope you stop screwing around.

your dancing like a flame
& you're earning yourself a name
& you're rising above the pain
you're rising above the pain
you've got so much of something you can't hold
you've got a whole lot of that...
soul
that soul
& the answers they flicker still
like a lantern up on a hill
& they're trying to sway your will
yeah they're dying to get their fill
you got so much of something they can't hold
you got a whole lot of that
\m/ (_ _) \m/
you're dancing like a flame
& you're rising above the pain
you're dancing like a flame
& you're rising above the pain
you've got so much of something they can't hold
you've got a whole lot of that.....

I wanna flow like a river
I wanna get on top
you know it never stops.
Hands off your spectacle
I wanna co-exist
guess I'll run with it.
The torch has been lit.
Tomorrow will kick ass
yeah you can count on that
I wanted you to know, you're the shit.
Message to deliver
promise you'll get back
it's as easy as that.
Focus energy on
a considerate task
it's as easy as that.
The torch has been lit.
Tomorrow will kick ass
yeah you can count on that
I wanted you to know, you're the shit.
Fuel hogs burning proud
better change their ways
we've got different taste.
The torch has been lit.
Tomorrow will kick ass
yeah you can count on that
I want to co-exist
guess I'll run with it
I wanted you to know, you're the shit.

inside the machine

submerged in pleasant sound
something for everyone
enough to go around
uninterrupted conscious bliss
you break through walls in a way that no one can hear it
it's you who's making moves
it's your ship that's out to sea
they're calling you a user and they want you on your knees
it's you and I awake inside the machine
I can hear your energy
channel it like a bonsai
blowing right through the ignorace
making shade for the minds eye
yeah I know not of fear
and i know not to fear it
i know only a fool would stand in the way of a spirit
it's you who's making moves
it's your ship that's out to sea
they're calling you a user and they want you on your knees
it's you and me awake inside the machine
inside the machine

robot

A clone walks into a bar
in a processed jingo town
boldly comments on how his gin & tonic's watered down
takes a good look at the waitress
tries to weasel her for a round
he don't know that he's about to be shot down.
I wonder if he noticed,
It's hard to tell if he cares.
You got them trained.
You got them trained.
Every time I get mad relief to hear you say...
They decide by the masses & they stand in line.
Occasionally they turn to one another for the time
and
their life's on program but they don't seem to mind.
Just keep on smiling like everything is fine.
I wonder if they notice,
it's hard to tell if they care
Every time I get mad relief to hear you say
hey
"What's the good word?"
"What's the news?"
We're flipping birds and sippin' home brew.
(x3)
You're automatic when you're filling your head up with oil.
You've got to have that dual antenna triple-ply tin foil.
So proud that I'm not
So proud that I'm not.
So proud that I'm not a fucking robot.
A robot.
A robot.
A robot.

it's your life
03:34
|

You play people's emotions like they are strings on toys.
Trying to get a rise out of the boys.
You come screaming at me when one snaps back & hits you in your eye.
You want me to tell you a lie.
If you wanna say something then say it.
If you wanna do something, stop talking about it.
You're a stones throw away
what you do and what you say you do
Tossing words like frisbees out of the grey and into the blue
You can curse
You can pray
You can give or take away
You can exist and let it go
It's your life, I don't know.
If you wanna say something then say it.
If you wanna do something, stop talking about it.
If you wanna say something then say it.
If you wanna do something, stop talking about it.
Your words are drenched in crappy wine
I find you here all the time
Timing has absolutely nothing to do with time.

i see you've got a little spot in the shade.
Take a look at all the progress you've made.
Ain't hard to notice you're filling out your space.
Nice to say that one things understood.
You do it so good.
Put up a fence and be privately endowed.
Just keep the nosey motherfuckers out.
We've been making it better & disposing of doubt.
Nice to say that one thing's understood.
You do it so good.

Piloting with steady palms,
We wind down roads that rarely calm,
on and on into the infinite unknown.
There's a long long road ahead my friend don't go it alone.
We've lost the map,
the route has changed,
the words are here just rearranged,
the road less traveled don't go down so easy.
It's a chance that's yours to take
don't throw it away,
don't throw it away.
My blistered hands can't get a grip
on all the times we let it slip,
we're passing time as if we age like wine.
It's a long long road ahead my friend you've got the time.
Like rubber bands we bend back to
the ones we love that we feel true
yeah whether we like it or not.
It's a chance that's yours to take
don't throw it away
don't throw it away
You will hunt and you will chase
to build the mind that you've erased.
Your monuments have been defaced,
your memories have been replaced.
& you, yeah you know where you belong.
