Playing all my life
Confidence has built up
If you want to live you’d better play by the rules
So when I invite you
And I wipe the floor with you
Don’t you scowl at me
And say beginner’s luck
Don’t tell me beginner’s luck, that’s a lucky strike!
You’re just selfish, stuffed with shellfish, go and ride a bike
Don’t tell me beginner’s luck, that’s a lucky strike!
You’re just selfish, stuffed with shellfish, go and ride a bike
I wipe the sweat off of my brow
As I toss the ball
See perfection, just look now!
Captivating all
My technique is sure to stun
Gains me lots of fans
Now my notoriety expands
We can all have fun
Don’t tell me beginner’s luck, that’s a lucky strike!
You’re just selfish, stuffed with shellfish, go and ride a bike
Don’t tell me beginner’s luck, that’s a lucky strike!
You’re just selfish, stuffed with shellfish, go and ride a bike
Don’t tell me beginner’s luck, that’s a lucky strike!
You’re just selfish, stuffed with shellfish, go and ride a bike
Don’t tell me beginner’s luck, that’s a lucky strike!
You’re just selfish, stuffed with shellfish, go and ride a bike
Don’t tell me beginner’s luck, that’s a lucky strike!
You’re just selfish, stuffed with shellfish, go and ride a bike
Don’t tell me beginner’s luck, that’s a lucky strike!
You’re just selfish, stuffed with shellfish, go and ride a bike

Dripping oil down the grass
Ignore signs of times that change
If you want to save your a**
Your lifestyle should rearrange
Life is living
Fix your fancies
So start giving
A damn about it all
Dripping oil down the grass
Ignore signs of times that change
If you want to save your a**
Your lifestyle should rearrange
Life is living
Fix your fancies
So start giving
A damn about it all

Pauerhaus
01:30
|

Plug me in
Flick on the switch
Watch the lights turn on
I’m a pauerhaus!
Cybernetic limbs
Blood is antifreeze
Lasers in my eyes
Acid from a sneeze
Plug me in
Flick on the switch
Watch the lights turn on
I’m a pauerhaus!
90/20 vision
2.0 batting average
I can bench a house
You’d better watch out
Plug me in
Flick on the switch
Watch the lights turn on
I’m a pauerhaus!
Plug me in
Flick on the switch
Watch the lights turn on
I’m a pauerhaus!
Plug me in
Flick on the switch
Watch the lights turn on
I’m a pauerhaus!

Shuttle blasts off
Cock is in the air
Ready for the smash
Prepare for despair
It feels so good (good good good)
To be so bad (bad bad bad)
It’s in the rules
I can cause a racket
Think that we’re all fools?
I don’t think you can hack it
It feels so good (good good good)
To be so bad (bad bad bad)
It feels so good (good good good)
To be so bad (bad bad bad)
It feels so good (good good good)
To be so bad (bad bad bad)
It feels so good (good good good)
To be so bad (bad bad bad)

Cost of living
Unrealistic
I wish I could
Afford this
Park on the street (Fines!)
Car in the lot (Tickets!)
I need to go (Now!)
This costs so much (Ow!)
My job pays well
Or so I thought
I may need to
Analyze this
Park on the street (Fines!)
Car in the lot (Tickets!)
I need to go (Now!)
This costs so much (Ow!)
Why is living here so damn expensive?
Frustrating the way this all works
People in charge are a bunch of jerks

Cactus

Find the cactus
Build your practice
Life will squeeze out lemons and you
Must not lack this
Isolating and conflating
Larry’s arm disintegrating
High five six armed octopi and
Let them see that you can fly
Tree trunks growing down, not up
Drink your drink to fill your cup
I can’t see the point in this
Jumping up the precipice
Calgary simple reaching sift
Lipsuction rips a rift
Plastic surgeon eats a sturgeon
Bird with wings inverted sings
Life will squeeze out lemons and you
Life will squeeze out lemons and you
Life will squeeze out lemons and you
Life will squeeze out lemons and you

The Last Time
01:03
|
|||
|
Taken advantage of
Forced to do
Menial work
It’s not your job
This will be the last time
The people in charge
Always seem
To know the least
Of how things work
This will be the last time
This will be the last time

Time Of Day
01:42
|
|||
|
You spit foul words
And drag your feet
It’s ironic
Hypocrite
Always looking at your watch
Never help someone in need
Give the time of day
Always looking at your watch
Never help someone in need
Give the time of day
You never act
As if you care
And if change comes
You criticize
Always looking at your watch
Never help someone in need
Give the time of day
Always looking at your watch
Never help someone in need
Give the time of day
Always looking at your watch
Never help someone in need
Give the time of day
Always looking at your watch
Never help someone in need
Give the time of day

Real Sports

Complicated rules
Overbearing refs
Colored cards and fouls
All give me a headache
I don’t need this crap
To enjoy a sport
I enjoy the simpler things
And that is a rap!
So you need more rules
Those will be your fall
Have you ever heard
Of Calvinball?
I don’t need this crap
To enjoy a sport
I enjoy the simpler things
And that is a rap!
I don’t need this crap
To enjoy a sport
I enjoy the simpler things
And that is a rap!

Jet Blue
00:43
|

|
Building plans upon assumptions
That our modern fancies
Provide us with transportation
Minimally trustworthy
Though it may be safer to fly
Than to move by car
All these delays, cancellations
Make me seethe with rage
Weather patterns cause this chaos
Thought we had passed this point
Don’t we have systems set in place
Just for this kind of thing?
In some places planes are scarce
You can bet people try harder
To make travel move along
Not as if it’s happenstance
I look deep within myself and find the truth
This is something I must share
Jet!
Blue!
I hate you!
Jet!
Blue!
I hate you!
Jet!
Blue!
I hate you!

Favorite Things
01:02
|
|||
|
Hypocrites and liars, betrayers and thieves
Selfish jerks whose presence deceives
Fabrics of society intentionally woven
So that all of its flaws are hidden below
News media dominated by gross, attention-grabbing spectacle
Divorced from my regular existence and made to cause fear
Confidence shattered by leaders so shallow that when lights go down
They vanish as if they were only a shadow
These are on my list of BFFs and besties,
bodies so modified they have no more testes
As if our planet had just lost its rings
These are a few of my favorite things
Ford so big that it’s a sexual fantasy
Like fake body parts composed of silicone fancy
When our consumption composes of red, rotten roses
And personalities shaped by caricatured poses
These are on my list of BFFs and besties,
bodies so modified they have no more testes
As if our planet had just lost its rings
These are a few of my favorite things
Hateful bigotry packaged as political expedience
Suffering offered to a majority’s experience
Worship of idols on digital screens
Supplements so toxic we drown on our own means

Incorruptible
02:07
|
|||
|
Writing from the hearts
I am tryin’ to work
This man makes me fart
KC is such a jerk
I have to go and sneeze
This fills me with hate
Having to translate
This ain’t worth my fees
My words must not rot
I tell you they will not
Incorruptible, my words are incorruptible
Hour after hour
I toil away
Typing on my keyboard
This sure doesn’t pay
Rubbish, filth, slime
I sharpen my teeth
This ain’t worth my time
I sure have a beef!
My words must not rot
I tell you they will not
Incorruptible, my words are incorruptible
You make me so mad
Your translation’s bad
This isn’t good work
The worst I’ve ever had
Incorruptible, my words are incorruptible
Incorruptible, my words are incorruptible

Burn
00:42
|
|||
|
Feeling the burn
Gaze of the scorn
Sometimes I wish
I wasn’t born
Into this time
Ripe with the change of our views
Sometimes it feels as if our world is just chaos
And forces in high power want to leave it to burn
I do my best
To make a change
That’s positive
But I feel strange
All my neighbors
Placing the blame
They only wish
It’d stay the same
Sometimes it feels as if our world is just chaos
And forces in high power want to leave it to burn

Speak
01:29
|

|
It’s about time that we all speak
Say what’s on our minds when we think
No more time spent idly by
Let’s now let our convictions out!
Time to speak (now)
Time to speak
Time to speak (now)
Time to speak
Time to speak (now)
Time to speak
Time to speak (now)
Time to speak
This world could be going to crap
That can stop if we speak our minds
Move your self and lift up the blinds
This dark trend / now we can stop it
Time to speak (now)
Time to speak
Time to speak (now)
Time to speak
Time to speak (now)
Time to speak
Time to speak (now)
Time to speak
Time to speak (now)
Time to speak
Time to speak (now)
Time to speak
Time to speak (now)
Time to speak
Time to speak (now)

Enough Time
00:56
|

|
Expectations through the roof
If you keep piling these on
Higher still without respite
I think I just might go “poof”
“Do this, do that”
I need some more time!
“Go here, go there”
I don’t have enough time
Colleagues slacking, always lacking
Failing their tasks purposely
When it’s they do deserve attacking
All their junk gets put on me
“Do this, do that”
I need some more time!
“Go here, go there”
I don’t have enough time
Expectations through the roof
If you keep piling these on
Higher still without respite
I think I just might go “poof”
“Do this, do that”
I need some more time!
“Go here, go there”
I don’t have enough time
“Do this, do that”
I need some more time!
“Go here, go there”
I don’t have enough time

Built To Last
01:43
|
|||
|
Try using mud as a foundation
Forced by loss of power
Sharper yet than modern swords
These homes weren’t built to last
These homes weren’t built to last
Made to live in squalor
No chance to work or produce
Yet somehow spirits survive
These homes weren’t built to last
These homes weren’t built to last
Forced to exist as outcasts
By a group who once cried fowl
“But we survived, so what we cause can’t be as bad”
These homes weren’t built to last
These homes weren’t built to last
These homes weren’t built to last
These homes weren’t built to last
These homes weren’t built to last
These homes weren’t built to last
These homes weren’t built to last
These homes weren’t built to last
These homes weren’t built to last
These homes weren’t built to last

Sun is shining
Leaves will turn
Breeze is cool and
Bikers pass
Sitting on this park bench
Life is warm and joyful
Cars drive by
Motorists
Honk their horns
Sunday traffic
Sitting on this park bench
Life is warm and joyful
Sitting on this park bench
Life is warm and joyful
Sitting on this park bench
Life is warm and joyful
Sitting on this park bench
Life is warm and joyful
