American Prayer
02:16
|
|||
|
The American people seem ever so grand,
makes me feel kind of feeble standing next to an American man
And the American girl seems ever so fair;
you seldom see a pubic curl or any other kind of body hair
Chorus:
That’s why I keep saying I love America
and I’ll never stop praying for America
The American boy seems to be the loving kind;
he’s always ready to deploy any device up your behind
And the American lady seems to have a firm hand,
and I think that’s what made me fly off to the Promised Land
Chorus:
That’s why I keep saying I love America
and I’ll never stop praying for America

Just Add Vice
02:46

Boys around town if you leave your semen
In the womb of a girlfriend
I tell you it’s not the world’s end
But it destroys the sound that you need from women
If that load turns out a baby
And I’m not talking maybe
Chorus:
You ought to go get married
Before you gung ho go busting any cherries
’Cause really young men
First go get an education
And even if you’re well hung then
Stick to masturbation
Girls in the field protect your holy hymen
You don’t really want a kid now
You don’t wanna see it dead somehow
So girls you yield and stick to only shy men
They might not seem much fun now
But you can soon enough be gunned down
Chorus:
You ought to go get married
Before you let them go busting out your cherries
’Cause really young chicks
First go get an education
And even if you long for dicks
Stick to masturbation

Baby You're A Bitch Man
03:34
|
|||
|
I would be a billionaire
if I had a dime for everywhere
I’ve been crying – crying over you
I would be a rich man too
if I had a dime for the times I’ve been blue
while crying – crying over you
Chorus:
And I would be a poor man indeed
if I only had a fortune for my satisfied needs
lying – lying next to you
Yeah, I would be ever so poor
if you came back, that’s for sure
lying – lying as you always do
I would be a wealthy guy
if I had a dime for each tear in my eye
I’ve been crying – crying over you
But I would be well off at last
if you were reduced to a thing from the past
I’d stop crying – crying over you
Chorus ...
Sing-along:
Maybe I’m not your biggest fan
but baby you’re such a bitch man

Gate 2 Fate
03:03
|

I’m searching for my destiny
Apparently it’s not searching for me
Or maybe I’m too blind to see
That it’s standing right behind me
I wish I could buy glasses that would make me see it there
I wish I had the brains to be aware
What’s my purpose what’s my core?
What am I here for?
What do I have to give?
How and why should I live?
I don’t need no self-help book, no life coach DVD
I need to find my destiny
Some say you choose your own destiny
Others feel theirs instinctively
But for me it’s plain to see
That I must look for it in me
Got to get inside myself to see what’s going down
Got to see what kind of demons roam around
If my inner mission goes well
There’ll be a demon able to tell
How I can be of service to man
Maybe make me understand
I must take a real good look into the mirror and concentrate
If I am ever to meet my fate
Yeah I must take a real good look into the mirror and contemplate
If I am ever to meet my fate

Tommy Reed Arnold III
02:34
|
|||
|
He came dressed in a loose fit short sleeved dirt white shirt
He said his name was Tommy Reed Arnold the Third
I found him outside the Continental Club in Austin
As I recall it was just about the same place I lost him
He took my wife for a dance – but no cheek-to-cheek
Even better he suggested I should try some whisky named Knob Creek
And the band kept getting better I believe I saw a teardrop fall
As the keys were caressed by the legendary Earl ”Pool” Ball
I could easily tell this band was of the loving kind
I don’t know their names but the way they did ”Satisfied Mind”
Got me all worked up – ready for heartache and hurt
It was a great night out with Tommy Reed Arnold the Third
So if you’re ever in Texas go to Austin it’s a hell of a town
You won’t meet a better bunch of people and there’s music all around
Maybe you already know but then go spread the word
And send my regards to Tommy Reed Arnold the Third
Yeah send my regards to Tommy Reed Arnold the Third

Over Easy
02:54
|

All the bad times I never had
Made me slave to the good
All the black shine in your suit of leatherette
Made it clear you understood
All the hard times we never shared
Made me slave to the soft
All the pain I was spared
Made me prone to your love
Chorus:
And then it’s so easy to get used to abuse
I no longer feel queasy at all
No matter the whip you choose
– no matter the whip you choose
All the scars I never got
Made me slave to your cane
And all the bourbon – you know I had a lot
Couldn’t free me from your chain
Chorus
All the tough love you pour on me
Couldn’t scare me away
And if you saw what I can see
You too would bend over some day
Chorus

The Dog We Never Had
04:44
|
|||
|
It’s watching movies, playing video games
It’s doing things that makes it feel the same
As yesterday when you were still here
Before you went away and left me lost in tears
It’s doing the dishes all night long
It’s playing our records with every sad song
Just like before when you were mine still
Until you tore my heart out at will
Chorus:
Now I’m faking your love every day
I’ve been kind of faking it since May
And although it’s all just pretend
I’m afraid I’ll be faking it till the very end
So I’m walking the dog we never had
Smoking the dope that makes me mad
Bying the car that looks so bad
In a way it seems I’m living my life
The way of my dreams but without my heart and wife
Yeah I’m walking the dog we never had
Collecting the shit it never shat
Eating the chips that make me fat
In a way it seems I’m living my life
The way of my dreams but without my heart and wife
Chorus

Jack (II)
01:28
|
|||
|
The soap opera we’ve been living
Seems to have been cancelled
Now I’m sitting here reading
A letter to Jack written with your pencil
It goes
Jack, to me you are so dear
Jack, when you whisper in my ear
Jack, I love to be your thing
Jack, take me under your wing
Jack, I hate my wedding ring

Prophetic Phonetics
03:56
|

Do you know why decide
Sounds so close to deicide
Do you baby, do you baby,
baby, ooo’ baby
Well I think it’s because
Somehow the world is chaos
And it’s the only way to save it, it’s the only way to save it
Save it, please save it
Do you know why destiny
Sounds so close to invest in me
Do you baby, do you baby,
baby, ooo’ baby
Well I think it’s because
Somehow the world was made for us
And it’s the only way to make it, it’s the only way to make it
Make it, let’s make it
So go kill your Lord
And become one yourself
Go play a different chord
You don’t really need the Lord’s help
I said go kill your Lord
And decide for yourself
What kind of life you can afford
You don’t really need God on your shelf

Killing Couple
04:43
|
|||
|
We’re the killing couple cruising USA
From Las Vegas east to Houston where we leave the wheels
There’s a new holocaust on the windscreen everyday
Karma bloody karma I wonder what it reveals
We’re the killing couple cruising USA
Towards Zion Canyon straight out of Sin City
No matter where we go we take life and it’s not OK
We killed so many bugs I can’t help feeling pity
Chorus:
O’ Lord what have we done
How can driving through the countryside be so wrong
A rented car, a happy couple
Now we’re in for karma trouble
O’ Lord what have we done
We’re the killing couple cruising USA
Collecting battered crickets on the grill
Annihilating from Durango to Santa Fe
But believe we don’t feel any thrill
We’re the killing couple cruising USA
With my love behind the wheel we hit a squirrel
It was the first major kill on our way
And I must admit that really shook our world
Chorus
We’re the killing couple cruising USA
I was in control when we hit the bird
It flew smack-dab into the headlight on the Lubbock way
My first night in Texas was spend drinking away the hurt
Chorus
