Zombie Song 02:26
Damn it Janet, just step over the bodies These geeks will eat us up like salami Rotten flesh eaters lurking toward the bed Didn’t think I’d see the night of the living dead Give me the car keys and I’ll drive If this glass doesn’t hold, we'll have to fight Take aim and sparks will arise Don’t shoot until you see the color in their eyes Then get propane, it's okay extreme Louise To go boom, you mix kerosene with anti freeze Damn it Janet, did you drop the keys again So now I’ll walk around like headless hen I’m going out, hurry up and wait Lame ducks sitting here on the interstate Shine the light, I see the keys in the pit And holy shit did I just get bit There's a new monster in this food chain I’ve come here to eat your brains Walking Dead, literal worst Oh I’m sorry, was that your horse? Your intestines will hang from the tree tops A marvelous hell for the infamous grey fox Brains are the new macabre A macaroni western for a comic opera

OK Corral 01:15
Good old Wyatt, he couldn’t see That his eldest brother was losing his feet While Morgan breathed his last breath No one knows who shot him in the back It's kind of sad, all these old west tales Pretty morbid attest to the tales A Tennessee Williams play couldn’t make you brave Not today, with this tombstone grave I’m as mean as they come A holiday is some kind of fun And you could take me if you are some type of daisy And I would like to be the one to say In these 36 years, there’s been a whole lot But nothing brings me tears like having a friend Like having one friend in this tombstone end

Shaky Hands 02:14
Shaking of the hands A band of madmen Paper thin, skin tight Wake up in the sewer pipes Reached into the drain clog There you will hear the words Come on Georgie, get your boat Here we all learn to float Til we become stuttering fools Sailing our worries off of burning canoes And who are all these party crashers You know, the dirty dancers Who rant about this or that Some things the crowd can’t give back Toxic spider bites To gastric butterflies A theory of splintered time Wake up on the sunrise You’ve become a vampire Running demolition derbies Boogymen retire To their sell CD’s To stuttering fools Who sail all worries off of burning canoes And I would like to be a party crasher You know, the dirty dancers Who rant about this or that Some day the crowd won’t talk smack

Have you ever found a needle in the hay  Can you spot the melody  As your thoughts grow older and more concerned  With mistakes turned into defeats  What could I have done differently Only from space could you see All the ants on top of their mole hills And the dreams that race beneath  Tunnels are collapsing under crushing waves  And the time is going to shoot you down  At first, feet in the air skyrocket off a swing  To an umbrella in the cloud  And you can go right back on the bill It's the same old friend you wanted to kill  It's the same old shit you wanted to sell Well I'll give you shade as you take me to hell because a goat ain't ever going to tell a lie Just going to chew before he bites More afraid of the sheep than the wolf Alright man let's go... Tick tack toe baby one two three Pretty nice versus common belief Well tick tack toe baby one two three Pretty nice versus common relief Run rat mean cat watch out for the paddie wagon How can you spit fire without first believing in dragons

Martians underground come to meet you with a smile High as hell off helium bubbles, your miscolored eyes are so lovable You broke me down in sticks and stacks, doing surgery on my backpack Skip hop doing all that jazz Don’t be bummed by a bag of sand I don’t write happy songs but I’ll give it a shot A shot for my lady, who’s that baby crying Laughable since you're not dipping your toes In nothing more than the shallow ends Buddy oh where have you been Last time I saw you, you were living in squalor and sin You got some kids now You grew up, well good for you Here at the reunion there are so many things that I wanted to say today But some things are better left unsaid, like “I miss you my friends”

If this is the end of the world I'll hold onto you with your basket full of lemons Cheshire cat attitude She said why the bitter look I said look at the Lotus go Waiting by the 7/11, getting fucking old Open my front door Southwest flight 5150 from California shores She said take off your clothes Traveled to desert, now I'll take you home If this is the end of the world I suppose we'll both die They'll say crazy things like We had to kill them but they're pretty nice guys and if we escape, where would we go I'd like to think we'd end up right back in San Francisco If this is the end of the world, it'd be picture perfect because you're a banana slug and I'm an alien It doesn't matter if they don't understand Alice In Wonderland It's okay because we're in a dream of a madman

13 narcos coming around the bend  Don't take them all that’s not very zen  They don’t want hear about my shattered foot Don’t want hear about the concussions so shut up  Doctor said you’ve been in bed for three years It's time to be realistic with your peers  But fuck em what do I owe them anyway When’s last time you sent a postcard or tried to say You’re a special snowflake People will make a profit off of anything these days Put the baby in gorilla hero suit Oh isn’t he so cute 20 coppers to make amends  for things I’ve said inspired by books I read  troubadours were no better than politics and corporations that take advantage of all your personal feelings

Everglades 02:23
Refugees within the screen On the streets of Paris they beg and they plead And the boy to the left and the corpse to right They toss and turn, bicker and fight The boy says, I should have buried you ages ago No longer doing what I’m told And the corpse reaches through the sand, says respect my traditions Can’t you see this system was divided to keep each other at our throats You don’t really believe both sides, don’t know Of the fear of neighbors they inspire, with hope they wear lovely attires of care But they don’t care about anything that they’d have to share Like survival in the Everglades You think they sat around and argued for days Or do you think they got along and built a shelter Reefs and trees, all together Do you think they’d survive eating poison berries We don’t eat those, God bless Larry And do you think they’d live with alligators If they didn’t get along now and later And I can’t get no sleep not knowing what is next We know the cause but not the end Or resolutions, yeah the waters are tainted And we’re doing the best we can Know your social justice isn’t exempt from bullshit But at least you’re doing something right now And if you got something to say, don’t shove it in my face Why don't you try putting it into a song?

Disingenuity of your editing, when there’s struggling  the words are all cliche There’s no unity, cops on the tv screens, modern duality  dead kids left in its wake Personality of an anomaly, kiss my morality  and shove it right up your own greed  My own vanity, doesn’t keep me happily, your catastrophe  Was letting me breathe  Now I’m not saying that the world would be better off without me I’m just saying I just say about half of what I think Everybody shouting with me and it's like a reverie  The band's still playing I’m just saying we could use a remedy  What's the frame, focus shot, what’s the line and the plot Drop the mic when it's hot Why are you fucking with me? I can’t think straight, can’t even masturbate Sucked at the debate, a regular O’Malley  But this ally cat is done, a death framed upon, roommate grabbed a gun People love their betrayal stories  It’s the nice and boring ones, slipping your girl all the drugs, putting casings of their slugs Into the old mans heart  Because there’s so much hatred, I can’t say I blame them The fires getting bigger than the shelter where we spent our nights Shit, I would sit and talk awhile, parking lots have been my style  Except for the fights that I would enjoy, if it not for the drama boys With all the violent toys, something in me just snapped No more baby mamas, no more homie collars, stop selling for the dollar You're strong and better than them. You're stronger than them. Who’s the tough guy? Well I hope it's me…
