Spark It Up
You sure know
how
to get to the point
then you go and alienate
everyone in the joint
You spark it
up
get me going inside
you spark it up
like I never tried
Every stupid
thing I've done
started out with a drink
random thought in my head
until I'd stop to think
You spark it
up
get me going inside
you spark it up
Like I never tried
Please, please,
play me something new
I like Nirvana
but they sound like you
Yeah, yeah,
show me something new
I saw Pulp Fiction
it looks a lot like you
You spark it
up...
What are you
gonna do
in a world like this
follow the leader
or follow your bliss?
Uh huh,
tell me something new
you read like Salinger
and he writes like you.
THE MONEY CLUB
We just want
you to know
what we think is best
'cause we have all the good stuff
and you get all the rest
(if you act like
you got it,
then you can get in
and continue the bloodline
by shedding your skin)
The money club
it's the wages of sin
where do I sign in?
The money club
it's the wages of sin
How do I get in?
Stagnation of
thought
pursuit of a goal
that car you just bought
is worth more than your soul
We can buy bonds
we can drop bombs
we watch work get done
we sit in the sun
we rob the till
we go for the kill
we buy the President
we get the flowers sent
we don't admit fault
we fill up the vault
The money club
The money club
Keep it to yourself
no one wants to know
the emperor is naked
but puts on a good show
Security gates
they keep you away
it's just easier to ignore
than let everyone play
The money club
The money club
It's just gold
and possessions
and midnight confessions
taken by the undeserving
from the people they are serving
We get things
our way
we make you pay
we believe in our God
we bury you in sod
we cry on TV
we never let you see
we don't really believe
we continue to deceive
we buy you the gun
we shoot you for fun
We're in the
money...club
Girls in Bars
She
went in her closet
where her clothes hang out
and she put on her coat
because it's girls night out
All the pretty
ones
they go to the bar
They say that they aren't
but you know that they are
You love them
all
and they like you too
but you can't win
they're prettier than you
You know that
you should
go out and find your own style
The everyday nightlife
is going to get old in awhile
The fashion comes
and the fashion goes
but you'll wear out
long before the clothes
You love them
all
and they like you too
but you can't win
they're prettier than you
Come on with
me
I will let you in
on a secret you see,
You can never win
So don't even
try
to plant that seed
because all that you've got
is all that you need
Wash
Wash
away the loneliness
Wash away the guilt
Wash away the pain
All my anger built
Wash away the
smell
Wash away the taste
Wash away the sin
Lay me to waste
Wash away the
memories
Wash away the tears
Wash away this life
The sum of all fears
All the empty
spaces
You filled with strangers
The nectar of
the godless
Whispering empty sighs
As sleepless
nights
Become nightmare days
Wash away...
I'm so tired
Of wanting to be
Somewhere else
I'm so tired
Of wanting to be
Someone else
Wash Away
Wash Away
Wash Away
Lay me to waste
All Roads Lead to L.A.
Back in the early
days
when Rome ruled the world
a boy was a man
and a woman was a girl
but now things
have changed
you know what they say
if you want to get anywhere
all roads lead to L.A.
Bring toothpaste
and sunglasses
they've got sushi and sex classes
saw it in the
movies
so it 's gotta be true
she'll be waiting for me
down in Malibu
You get on the
freeway
and you go real slow
people in cars
with nowhere to go
So what's really
changed
you know what they say
if you want to get anywhere
all roads lead to L.A.
Life is never
what it seems
when you compare it to
your hopes and dreams
and all those pouting faces
in the fashion magazines
Things are going
to change
you know what they say
I'll make it all right
I'm going to go to L.A.
Metaphor Horses
It's been burning
all summer
Now it's going into fall
Thought I had nothing but time
Thought I had it all
Yellow moon is
in the sky
This morning brilliant blue
The killer had it in his eye
The look of me and you
Bring on the
Mighty horses,
Run across the sky
Secrets of the hidden truth
that only prove a lie
Bring on the Mighty horses,
Look me in the eye
Thunder in your
ears
Cold callus in your heart
Anger flows through fingertips
To guide you in the dark
Looking on a
highway down
The road it seems so far
In the distance there's a sign
That tells you where you are
Bring on the
Mighty horses,
Run across the sky
I always thought you'd come around
And laugh when I would cry
Bring on the Mighty horses,
Look me in the eye
This is how it
goes:
you wake up each day
To everything you know
In a moment before you say
Bring on the
Mighty horses,
Run across the sky
Bring on the Mighty horses,
Look me in the eye
Infinite Onion
When your body
gets so heavy
That your bones begin to weep
The world starts spinning backwards
And you're caught counting sheep
Water is spontaneous
Let it go in the flow
It's all you need to know
Just let go
Jesus died the
year that I was born
He's done it ever since
Buddha's sitting in the TV room
Holding the incense
Water is spontaneous
Let it go in the flow
It's all you need to know
Just let it go
Water is spontaneous
Let it go in the flow
It's all you need to know
Just let go
I want to open
your mind
But not with a bullet...
It's like an
infinite onion
With cell phone limbs
Wearing candy cane nylons
Shedding cinnamon skin
Using credit card karma
In the chardonnay sky
There is no reason why
No reason why.
Water is spontaneous...
There's character
in my flaws
As far as I can see
Am I just killing time,
Or is time killing me?
Weapons of Mass Deception
Well it's been
a few years
Since that night on Cedar hill
When I told you I would
And you said you never will
Shoot at Will
Shoot at Will
Shoot at Will
Shoot at Will
I know nothing's
fair
In love and War
What happened to the hearts
That have been here before?
Shoot at Will
Shoot at Will
Shoot at Will
Shoot at Will
I gave him my
heart
It was packaged and sold
He made it into a game
Said, "Will, you're so bold"
But after the date
He just wants to debate
What's wrong
with me?
Did I ask for it?
Life's putting me on
And I'm a perfect fit
I tried to make
it
Then I tried again
Do I have to die
For the original sin?
Where do I begin?
Hypocrites and
liars
Heaven and Hell fires
When you shoot to kill
Shoot at Will
Shoot at Will
Music by Machine
Take it out
Put it in
Spins around
Do it again
Yeah
Put it down
Shake it down
Move it around
Music by Machine
Come out
Go back in
Start it up
Take another spin
Music by Machine
When it's hot
When it's cold
When you're young
When you're old
Music by Machine
You Hated the 80's
If it makes you
so happy
then why do you cry?
You hated the 80's
and you don't know why
So you threw
out the clothes
and got a new nose
and Park Slope is fine
but I remember a time
Six pack
car rack
put it in the trunk
wheels whisper in the rain
while you drive home drunk
So what's so
hot now
goin' 9 to 5
coming home at night
feelin' barely alive
Apple martini
string bikini
tanning salon
It takes another Prozac
for you to go on
Sold your CD
collection
and got no affection
for the things that was
you don't deny it because
you just down
load the low down
cause there's a virus goin' round
If it makes you
so happy...
Big SUV
dating service
and a DVD
Got no life now
'cept the one
you borrow from TV
If it makes you
so happy...
In My Right Mind
I just forgot
what I said to you
I'm not even sure
if it was true
I had a dream
but you weren't in it
I have your picture
and I start to spin it
Some people think
I'm lazy
other people think I'm just intense
you can call me a genius
and I won't take offense
Take me to task
have a piece of my mind
anything you ask
I'm going to find
in my right mind
I'm not kidding
I'm not fooling
I got this way
from years of schooling
I'm Bored
Going nowhere slow
It's killing the drive
I want some fun
Not going to survive
I'm bored
I'm bored
I'm bored
I'm bored
I'm bored
I'm not
depressed
not in distress
I'm not even dressed
'cause I'm bored
I'm bored
I'm bored
I'm bored
I'm bored
I'm bored
You can have London,
New York, Paris, L.A.
nothing left to see
nothing left to say
Inertia's gonna
curse ya
until the day you die
don't even try to ask me
I don't know why
I'm bored
Revolution
In My Head
Start the war without me
I'll wait until it's on TV
Screaming heads will show me
What I don't need to see
Take a look at
him now
acts like he has no fear
Staring it all down now
target practice in a mirror
There's talk
on the street
that a good man's hard to find
so don't let him near
he's got a revolution mind
Surfer Joe spent
his time
just riding on the waves
now he wears a sign
that says "Jesus saves"
What goes around
comes around
But how you going to know?
I just got a one way ticket
and I don't want to go.
There's talk
on the street
that a good man's hard to find
so don't let him near
With his revolution mind
One day you're
just lying there
stretched out on your bed
life breaks down your door
and kicks you in the head
THE LAST BIG PLAN
Start the violins
bring up the strings
I don't have a reason
why I think of these things
Brings a tear
to the eye
this struggle of the heart
and the ultimate irony
playing your part
He planned his
retreat
in a dark room, off the street
the measure of the man
in his last big plan
Deposit the paycheck
and just make the rent
Pray for the hope
that never gets sent
It's going to
come real soon,
your upside down in a spoon
take the measure of the man
with the last big plan
I Was Here
I used to feel
invincible
That feeling was incredible
Then it all fell apart
Into yet another start
Where had all
the good times gone?
When was the moment it all went wrong?
My five-year
plan
Going on 15 strong
I knew it had to be
You all along
Despite what
you hear,
I was here.
I was here.
I wrote the book
Then I put it on a shelf
Never took a second look,
Never even baited the hook.
It's all about
the moment
That got shot in the head
And though the dream was dead
The dreamer still led
Despite what
you hear
I was here
I was here
I still have
a motive
If you still have the faith
When all is said and done
Another story has begun
