Crony 03:52
lyrics
buy track
Crony sellin' out your only true friend Information's money to spend You let it burn a hole in your pocket That's opportunity knockin' Doesn't matter who was there when no one else was left to care No, you want the power Aw, you want the power Crony like a big canary you sang so you could be one of the gang but maybe you have been taken Right now they can't even fake it You wanna be popular I'm very sorry, I wish you were They're pullin' your chain now Aw pullin your chain now Crony solo Crony sellin' out your only true friend Information's money to spend You let it burn a hole in your pocket That's opportunity knockin' Doesn't matter who was fit to listen to your sorry shit No, you want the power Oh, you want the power solo * Quiet verse Crony I got a message for you You better see it all thru or you will always be strivin' as you watch others arrivin' I never saw someone who'd bend from side to side so much to please all the others Aw, please all the others Crony sellin' out your only true friend Information's money to spend You let it burn a hole in your pocket That's opportunity knockin' Doesn't matter who was there and anyway who says life is fair when you want the power you want the power solo Crony sellin' out your only true friend It's a shame that this is the end You'll notice something is missin' when you have no one to listen You lost a friend today but that's the price you have to pay for your desperation aw, your desperation Crony rhythm solo * Make your own life Borrowed power is just so fleeting I won't be holding the ladder when it starts to tip over from the shove you get when you no longer matter to the lucky horse that you're tryin' to ride in the countryside where you don't belong

Psychedelic Dream 03:10
lyrics
Hear the latest sound captivate your head Don't be down to earth time to fly instead Where you gonna go to escape routines? to the coolest place that you've ever seen purple pink and orange yellow green and you'll be free anytime now solo There's a time for you outside the crap you do Get perspective new You don't need no clue Jimi lives in the Beatles sky There's no need for truth where there are no lies Don't take it seriously, I must advise you to complete your non-thoughts wow solo Where you gonna go to escape that scene? Til you find the door, you won't know what I mean For the very first time you'll be starting clean Can't go back, you won't know how Psychedelic dream only what it seems Let your dream be real multi-colored beams

Tie Dye Day 03:05
lyrics
So caught up in the horseshit of this life I try so hard to block it out but there just ain’t no way It keeps bein' all piled up with miles and miles of strife Now all that I am askin’ for is one good tie dye day Tie dye day oh that would sure be quite ok To step out of the fray I need some time to play Tie dye day With all the colors in the sun Have fun Just once before my life is done solo So caught up in my rituals obscene I must be an automoton on automatic pilot Any ol' reprieve, a football game It seems like a million years since you have seen me smilin' Tie dye day oh I need to feel that way to step out of my lane play Love and the Airplane Tie dye day we'd sit out on that roof not looking for the truth oh yeah we got our youth solo Tie dye day music in the open air when the world was not unfair right now I'm going there Tie Dye day Gimme all the vibrant hues There's a sun for us to use and it's too good to refuse

Phoenix Is Flying 04:40
lyrics
We had to leave all our precious valuables but the tall one told me I could take my music so she and I climbed up in that giant bird not a care in the world An hour ago my life was in turmoil fallin' apart from all the problems I'd collected yeah one minute I was so dejected the next we had a window view Ever since I dreamt about it I've been waiting waiting waiting waiting now finally our time has come Phoenix is flying (flying) Phoenix is flying (flying) Phoenix is flying overhead (Phoenix is flying overhead) All I've ever done was yearned to be runnin' Who could've guessed what kind of quest I'd meet? I stuck my own beak up from the ashes Now they're gonna sweep me offa my feet and for the longest moment we'll be flying flying flying flying but when we get there we'll be free Phoenix is flying (flying) Phoenix is flying (flying) Phoenix is flying overhead (Phoenix is flying overhead) Phoenix is flying (flying) Phoenix is flying (flying) Phoenix is flying overhead (Phoenix is flying overhead) Turns out that bird is filled up with people the likes of which we never have met I got a feeling we're gonna get to like them Still I'm left with one big regret Oh I can't say that I will never wonder wonder wonder wonder about that orb we gotta leave behind Phoenix is flying (flying) Phoenix is flying (flying) Phoenix is flying overhead (Phoenix is flying overhead) Phoenix is flying (flying) Phoenix is flying (flying) Phoenix is flying overhead Phoenix is flying (overhead) To think I actually thought that I'd not miss you miss you miss you miss you but hey you still exist in time

your own little world 04:32
lyrics
Last night I just ran into a long lost friend the greeting was the best part formalities end but what you didn't know is that it would turn out so familiar that it seemed no time had passed he is just who he is that die's been cast Your own little world your own little world You're still livin' in your own little world Dismayed to find of course you never changed Your own little world your own little world You're still livin' in your own little world so insulated you don't know you're strange It's safe to say I won't be getting thru to you I saw her on the other side of the street remembered circumstances that caused us to meet we had a chemistry or maybe that was only me but from the very start we weren't meant to last I gotta say though to know you was a blast Your own little world your own little world You're still livin' in your own little world I didn't dare to penetrate your thang Your own little world your own little world You're still livin' in your own little world So cold that I couldn't even call it a fling Why on earth do I still wanna be close to you? solo Here I am, mind wandering across the room finding my own space where no troubles will loom I know just where to go what makes my lifeblood flow Just understand your intrusions won't get there I prefer my own damned rarified air My own little world my own little world I'm still livin' in my own little world It's just my particular place to be My own little world my own little world I'm still livin' in my own little world just the perfect place if ya wanna be free I knew there was a reason that I dig you

The Freedom To Not Get Shot 02:43
lyrics
The freedom to not get shot With all of our freedoms, that's one we ain't got No right that you can contrive trumps the one about stayin alive Surely you must realize that those 4 million guns are a country that's become out of control Have you seen the damage that those weapons of war do? That "right"'s just got to go, that lie of logic's through The freedom to not get shot Your god and your forefathers, with you they're not You took ignorant liberties that got in the way of free I really could care less about your stupid NRA That's really just another scam for bucks Most of the nation wants a time with different gun laws oh you won't need an AR15 to go shoot some ducks The Second Amendment came before these killer guns existed This load of constitution shit must be cease and desisted We the people demand change, oh we must ask for more We must be safe to attend theaters, schools and grocery stores solo ok I know the GOP don't stand for very much the right to be a racist, the right to pussy touch but you must lose the right to carry weapons, it is time that kind of thing should rightfully become a goddamn crime The freedom to not get shot Life and liberty and happiness, it's life that hits the spot The rest of us will all breathe free with no gunshots in our vicinity YOU CAN SHOVE ALL YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS It's easy to tell there's no empathy there A fake Christian's all you are Jesus don't brandish no AR

I'm Not Waiting (For The End Of The World) 03:03
lyrics
Tell me why do you cover your face with fear? Things are gonna turn out okay You say you've heard that doomsday's comin down soon but I tell ya we've got at least a couple more days I'm not waitin' for the end of the world, are you? (Rya gonna tell me all your plans for the final minute?) I'm not waitin' for the end of the world, it's true (If it happens, well I doubt that we'll know what hit us) and freakin' out never did change a thing hey, only a fool thinks they know what tomorrow will bring Tell me why do you wanna believe the worst when really you got it good? If I had the world that you're livin' in every day I would kiss the ground but you never would I'm not waitin' for the end of the world, are you? (If it comes, then your problems are just beginning) I'm not waitin' for the end of the world for you (If you get on with your life, well I might be in it) or are you just runnin' away again? No wonder you're always wishin' that this is the end solo I'm not waitin' for the end of the world, are you? (That's good time that you'll be wastin' anticipating) I'm not waitin' for the end of the world, I do (understand that my future of life is fading) but hey you're forgettin' about today I plan on making the best of that come what may solo Tell me why won't you grab ahold of your life instead of letting the moment slide No you speed up approaching the finish line forgetting to breathe the air, you best enjoy the ride

Freedom To Discriminate 02:27
lyrics
On June 30th Supreme Court heard a hypothetical case about a gay website that someone made up to keep LBGTQ in their place They would never admit this shit but this is all about hate White Christians asked the Supreme Court gave the freedom to discriminate We got a class system and that's no lie Alito and Clarence want that Over 65% of Americans don't So often their wishes fall flat Forget about the constitution and separatin' church and state That is not the American way the freedom to discriminate GaySantis war against the woke is just his beast arisen Them MAGAs gonna need a new king when their daddy's gone to prison solo The court's a fraud to start out with as Mitch threw out procedure The ringers work for rightwing masters Screw the damn big picture Vacations so expensive more servings on their plate Extremist Court just dishes out the freedom to discriminate Racists, Antisemites too be coming thru the gate Asshole SCOTUS ruled once more gave freedom to discriminate./ you motherfuckers Clarence Alito Roberts you fuck Gorsuch Kavanaugh Barrett anti-American

Pinball 04:01
lyrics
Some men golf, some men ski Both are just too rich for me but I did try em both, they ain't my thing Some men like to work on cars Other men like to go to bars Now and then I do go out for chicken wings Life's not full Need somethin natural Must find a realm that makes me feel the pull so I play pinball I love it so much Nothin' like pinball and I got the touch with my flippers and such but at some point that ball is gonna is go down Drop in 2 quarters, I got it all soon I will get an extra ball with special games never very far away Call me Tommy, this is my scene You don't stand a chance on my machine Lights are poppin oh the bells will ring today Hit a few targets, and I'll have it all fasten your senses, you got a multiball Yeah I play pinball it warms me inside oh I prefer pinball If I'm high it's a ride If you see me wild-eyed you know the god damned ball went down the side I play pinball I live for this game When it's time for pinball I know why I came to my home the arcade but eventually shit, the ball goes down the drain

No Soul To Sell 04:09
lyrics
She PMed me, and she asked if we might be friends I said ok but I knew how the story ends I been in this same place like a million times She asked me where I'm from also what's my age I replied I don't answer those this stage but otherwise we could still engage We kept chatting, it went nowhere so it seemed She wouldn't talk about music or her dreans she just told me her age and where she lived of course I run into so many just like this They only have those topics on their list and they aren't getting off that horse She's got no soul to sell this ain't no conversation no soul to sell no soul to sell no soul to sell there's no need for persuasion no soul to sell My bio said I'm looking for someone verbal so how did I end up with a gerbil who couldn't carry her end of the pizza pie She's only got styrofoam in her head Should I tell her what I'm thinking 'bout instead? Watch her just fade up into the sky She's got no soul to sell and she might call it freedom no soul to sell no soul to sell no soul to sell she sure ain't got no reason no soul to sell solo I can't say that I wish i had gotten to know her nor could I guess what I'd possibly show her has the wit of a wombat and her mind's a sieve I guess that this is how they make em these days except I'm pretty sure it's not just a phase as the masses do the thing they call live She's got no soul to sell that's enough contemplation no soul to sell no soul to sell no soul to sell I have lost all my patience no soul to sell She's got no soul to sell there's no need for persuasion no soul to sell no soul to sell no soul to sell this ain't no conversation no soul to sell slow

Truth Dance 04:01
lyrics
In the sky, there is a comet A collision is expected She was only contradictions He was nothing if not constant At a point there was a magnet too powerful not to mention His feet stood up on their own She went along, but not without tension Oh she was his great admirer He found himself surrounded She wanted to take care of him It seemed their hearts were poundin' What was it that was happening? when they stepped into the fire They were dancing into the truth but they kept looking over their shoulders Then they got bolder (bolder) It seems they couldn't stop themselves from spending all that time They both suspected this was wrong but love, it ain't a crime The last thing you expected was a beam across the ocean that could not be deflected from the girl who paid attention Next time you looked up she had captured your devotion They were dancing into the truth but they kept looking over their shoulders Then they got bolder (bolder) It seems they couldn't stop themselves from spending all that time They both suspected this was wrong but love, it ain't a crime They were dancing into the truth and couldn't stop the momentum of what they sorely needed Now nothing could prevent em from thinking bout each other over the dark and thru the light However did it come to this However did it come to this However did it come to this? it happened overnight They were dancing into the truth but they kept looking over their shoulders Then they got bolder (bolder) It seems they couldn't stop themselves from spending all that time They both suspected this was wrong but love, love, love, it ain't a crime They were dancing into the truth but they kept looking over their shoulders then they got bolder

Common Enemy 05:03
lyrics
I was right there from the start People were tearin' each other apart Then Mad Sammy came along Now their love is really strong Poor Sam just didn't know how to act when he noticed knives in everyone's back but despite the fact that his aim was true he did not know what he got into Should've saved his faith for the chosen few cause victims can be killers too For awhile that boy was on the mark pullin' people from the dark He thought they had the right to know An eye in the back of his head said so Some of them still wonder though Was he friend or was he foe? He is common, like you and me He's the common enemy Watched his gift turn into greed as he tried to give em all what they need For once the cutthroats all agreed They never wanna see him succeed He is common, as anyone can be He's the common enemy solo Now Mad Sammy's yesterday but they remember him, could they forget - no way Guess hate plus hate is love almost Yeah, this is the tale of Sammy's ghost He is common, as anyone can be He's the common enemy I was right there from the start People were tearin' each other apart Then Mad Sammy came along Now their love is really strong
