1.	Rules of the Road 03:10	lyrics	buy track
Speeding in a small town Running through red lights Aggression at stop signs Leaving on high beams Honking at slower drivers Driving right behind the bumper Turning without a signal Passing on tight roads Driving with a headlight out Leaving your trunk open If you don’t follow the rules of the road You’ll find yourself with a heavy load If you don’t follow the rules of the road You’ll find yourself in an unpleasant abode Speeding in a small town Running through red lights Aggression at stop signs Leaving on high beams Honking at slower drivers Driving right behind the bumper Turning without a signal Passing on tight roads Driving with a headlight out Leaving your trunk open If you don’t follow the rules of the road You’ll find yourself with a heavy load If you don’t follow the rules of the road You’ll find yourself in an unpleasant abode If you don’t follow the rules of the road You’ll find yourself with a heavy load If you don’t follow the rules of the road You’ll find yourself in an unpleasant abode
2.	Let Me Know When You Plan to Start Answering My Messages 03:58	lyrics	buy track
This is where your tyranny comes to and end You must understand the hypocrisy of your statements You want us to hang onto your every word But when someone else tries to communicate you are nowhere to be found You must answer your messages if you expect people to respond to you You must answer your messages if you expect people to respond to you You must answer your messages You must answer your messages Let me know when you plan to start answering my messages Let me know when you plan to start answering my messages Let me know when you plan to start answering my messages Let me know when you plan to start answering my messages Let me know when you plan to start answering my messages Let me know when you plan to start answering my messages Let me know when you plan to start answering my messages Let me know when you plan to start answering my messages Let me know when you plan to start answering my messages Let me know when you plan to start answering my messages
3.	Multiple Choice Tests 03:07	lyrics	buy track
There are many ways to assess Just like the many ways to dress Some are more likely to impress Haha, yeah! One is easiest to grade; that’s true It takes less time But multiple choice tests have got me feeling blue Is it A, B, C, D, or E? Was an hour of study enough, or am I lazy? Should I understand concepts, and be able to make connections Or are plain facts evidence of my mastery? Is the capital of Texas Houston, Austin, El Paso, or Texaco? Was the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1492, 1942, 1776, or 9412? Was Mozart’s first name cat group, dog swarm, cow collective, or Wolfgang? Is the correct answer yes, no, maybe, or I don’t know? Is it A, B, C, D, or E? Was an hour of study enough, or am I lazy? Should I understand concepts, and be able to make connections Or are plain facts evidence of my mastery? Is it A, B, C, D, or E? Was an hour of study enough, or am I lazy? Should I understand concepts, and be able to make connections Or are plain facts evidence of my mastery? Is it A, B, C, D, or E? Was an hour of study enough, or am I lazy? Should I understand concepts, and be able to make connections Or are plain facts evidence of my mastery?

Don’t be afraid to use the power That is available to you Make use of it Do the right thing No need to fight You may conquer your demons Using the pen Pen is mightier than the sword The pen is mightier than the sword The pen is mightier than the sword The pen is mightier than the sword The pen is mightier than the sword The pen is mightier From ancient times its creations have gathered dust But that doesn’t mean that its creations don’t fill people with lust You must understand the power of the pen in your hand The pen, it is mightiest of all It can corrupt minds and bring people freedom Don’t ever underestimate the power Of the pen Pen is mightier than the sword The pen is mightier than the sword The pen is mightier than the sword The pen is mightier than the sword The pen is mightier than the sword The pen is mightier

I’m a man I don’t have to be emotionally involved Who cares? It doesn’t matter to me I’m a man I do what I want Who cares if I like you or not?

6.	Pave the Roads 02:52	lyrics	buy track
Some are too narrow, hard to navigate Some are riddled with holes and sure to frustrate I know upkeep’s not easy; it takes a lot of work But the way you go about it makes you kind of a jerk Pave the roads in a respectful manner Don’t close down all the routes to the grocery store Give more warning than a sign just before it Pave the roads in a respectful manner When I was young I thought cars were so magnificent But now I know they’re flawed and not heaven-sent It still surprises me how they lack in versatility If I can walk in all conditions, why cannot they? Pave the roads in a respectful manner Don’t close down all the routes to the grocery store Give more warning than a sign just before it Pave the roads in a respectful manner Pave the roads in a respectful manner Don’t close down all the routes to the grocery store Give more warning than a sign just before it Pave the roads in a respectful manner Pave the roads in a respectful manner Don’t close down all the routes to the grocery store Give more warning than a sign just before it Pave the roads in a respectful manner
7.	I Can Make Long Lists 03:02	lyrics	buy track
Organic is a word that gets a lot of use Many people speak it, but do they really get its meaning? Let’s start with a list Of some human organs Larynx, trachea, bronchi, pleurae, mediastinum, lungs, mouth, pharynx, esophagus, abdomen, stomach, small and large intestines, liver, pancreas, pancreas They say musical As if singing a song means you’ve got a special gift And you know what? Almost anyone could be a great musician if they really tried Let’s make a list of some great jazz musicians Here we go! Coltrane, Brown, Belgrave, Davis, Fitzgerald, Monk, Ellington, Holiday, Mendez, Maalouf, Adderley, Bolden, Armstrong, Powell, Gershwin, Rich, Zorn There are a lot of things in this world And you can organize them into lists Just make sure you use those commas And you won’t go amiss There are a lot of things in this world And you can organize them into lists Just make sure you use those commas And you won’t go amiss There are a lot of things in this world And you can organize them into lists Just make sure you use those commas And you won’t go amiss

I don’t like these flying things Hovering above without any wings Psyching me out when I should be relaxed Go somewhere else; now I’ve asked Drones Lightweight, flying surveillance Drones Machines of death and destruction Drones Lightweight, flying surveillance Drones Machines of death and destruction I don’t trust these drones one bit They spy on me with greatest ease It seems dystopian, doesn’t it? That they’re killing people overseas Drones Lightweight, flying surveillance Drones Machines of death and destruction Drones Lightweight, flying surveillance Drones Machines of death and destruction Drones Lightweight, flying surveillance Drones Machines of death and destruction Drones Lightweight, flying surveillance Drones Machines of death and destruction Drones Lightweight, flying surveillance Drones Machines of death and destruction Drones Lightweight, flying surveillance Drones Machines of death and destruction

Waiting patiently all my life for this moment to come Uncle, ready the rhinos Uncle, ready the rhinos Uncle, ready the rhinos Time to catch that little boy who keeps escaping my grasp He’s a century old, but he behaves like a wasp Uncle, ready the rhinos Uncle, ready the rhinos Uncle, ready the rhinos Uncle, ready the rhinos Uncle, ready the rhinos Uncle, ready the rhinos
12.	Seeing Green 04:32	lyrics	buy track
I used to care about art and expression But lately I’ve found a much grander obsession This one has meaning in quantity, not quality It’s the sort of thing that helps us reach equality Looking left and right All I see is green The more I obtain, the more I require Know what I mean? Forget that spectrum of shallow colors Green is the only color for me I’m not talking about sickness and tissues This is the kind of green we all want to see I’m not talking the environment and trees Those dirty old hippies make me want to sneeze Looking left and right All I see is green The more I obtain, the more I require Know what I mean? Forget that spectrum of shallow colors Green is the only color for me Money is all you need to succeed The more you get, the more you want Don’t talk to me about greed You just wish you had enough green to feel freed Money is all you need to succeed The more you get, the more you want Don’t talk to me about greed You just wish you had enough green to feel freed Money is all you need to succeed The more you get, the more you want Don’t talk to me about greed You just wish you had enough green to feel freed Money is all you need to succeed The more you get, the more you want Don’t talk to me about greed You just wish you had enough green to feel freed Looking left and right All I see is green The more I obtain, the more I require Know what I mean? Forget that spectrum of shallow colors Green is the only color for me Money is all you need to succeed The more you get, the more you want Don’t talk to me about greed You just wish you had enough green to feel freed Money is all you need to succeed The more you get, the more you want Don’t talk to me about greed You just wish you had enough green to feel freed Money is all you need to succeed The more you get, the more you want Don’t talk to me about greed You just wish you had enough green to feel freed Money is all you need to succeed The more you get, the more you want Don’t talk to me about greed You just wish you had enough green to feel freed
