B For Boston
Well I woke up this morning, with the dog upon my mind
Woke up this morning, with the dog up on my mind
Gonna catch that greyhound bus, you know I’m gonna ride ride ride
Well, I don’t want to stay here, don’t want to go away and ride
Don’t want to stay here, don’t want to go away and hide
Don’t know what I want and I cannot be satisfied,
Well it’s be for boston, b for benzedrine
Well it’s b for boston, b for benzedrine
A rolling stone keeps moving, to/and end(s) up where it’s already been
Shiny and hollow, things are never what they seem
Shiny and hollow, things are never what they seem
Got a woman in the ward window, she knows just what I mean
Anywhere but here, catch the bus and ride
Anywhere but here lord, catch the bus and ride
You know it’s gotta be better, on the other side

Talk is Cheap

Talk Is Cheap
Talk is cheap, mouthful of sand
Like ten pounds of shit, in a five pound bag
Moving your lips, mind is froze
Repeating things, that you don’t know
Talk is so cheap, you’ve got plenty of time
You’ll last forever, at least in your mind
Always plugged in, with three things to do
you show no fear and nothing is new
Talk is cheap, as fast as you can
Trying to get to heaven faster than the other man.
Nothing lasts forever, few people knows
The older you get, the faster time goes
Talk is cheap, but nothing is free
You paying for things you can’t see
Talk is cheap, but remember it’s true
You don’t kill time, it kills you

Same Train
I woke up on this train, not sure how I got here
They threw me off this train, not sure who dumped me here
This town is built on a dollar bill, don't no body seem to care
People like me, a dime a dozen in this town
People like you and me, a dime a dozen in this town
But if you ain't got a dozen dimes, they don't want you around
They smiling in your face, then they Yas Yas you to death
They smiling in your face, then they Yas Yas you, Yas Yas you,
Yas Yas you to death
But behind your back baby, they are planning out your last breath
Sittin here wonderin, if a matchbox'll hold my clothes
Sittin here wonderin, if a matchbox'll hold my clothes
I know these devils, wouldnt even think to buy my soul
You gotta look out, all day every day
You gotta look out, all day every day
You never know when that headlight of trouble, is gonna shine your way
Gonna catch a midnight train, gonna ride down the line
Gonna catch that midnight train, gonna ride it down the line
Wake up in the morning, with a new world upon my eyes.

Same Mistake, Different Day Blues
People people people, what is going on today
People people people, what is going on today
We have so much, but we're fighting for more anyway
From the beginning of time, fighting war after war
History of misery, fighting war after war
Why do we think it will be different, than it ever was before
Seems like the more we learn, the less we know
The more we learn, the less we know
Repeating our mistakes, everywhere you go
Head is getting smarter, than your soul has time to grow
Head is getting smarter, than your soul has time to grow
Every body knows everything, too smart for their own good you know
We gotta stop fighting, slow down and listen nice and slow
We gotta stop fighting, slow down and listen nice and slow
Everything you need is within your heart you know

Everybody Has To Suffer

Everybody Has To Suffer
Everybody has to suffer
Every body has to be alone
Every body has to suffer
Every body has to be alone
But the real loneliness is when you're lonely
And you are not alone
Lonely blues is a feeling
An empty hollow hole that you can't fill
Lonely is a gnawing feeling
An empty hole that you can't fill
You try anything to fill it, but you know you never will
Now the last thing you want when you're lonely
Is to be around a bunch of other people
The last thing you want when you're lonely
Is to be around a lot of other people now
Cause there is no lonelier feeling, than being lonely in a crowd
But nothing lasts forever
Nothing to hold on to anyway
Nothing lasts forever
That's the good news today
The lonely is a feeling, that has to pass away

Bloodless World

Bloodless World
We live in a bloodless world, that’s clean and neat
A world we watch, on our tv
Bright and cold, like stainless steel
Seen thru glass, nothing is real
=Here comes the man, riding after you
Pay now or pay later, but you got to pay what's due
No blood or blood loss any place
But on the screen, way off and safe
Free from pain, free from hurt
Free from blood and guts and dirt
=
Filtered through the friedly face
Where everything is in it’s place
Numb to the touch , blind to the mind
Never have to go out side
=
A spectator sport, without sweat
No sickness, no old age, no birth no death x4
No blood in this world you watch go by
No pain, no dirt, no blood, no life

Crazy Nutjob
It's a crazy nut job mad house
So what you gonna do
Everything you throw out
Comes right back to you
Love love love, need some love, love love
Back and forth forever
One battle at a time
An eye for an eye
Makes the whole world blind
Love love love, need some love, love love
We're all in a tiny rowboat
So what you gonna do
You poking holes in the floor
You gonna go down too
Love love love, need some love, love love
Nothing new to tell you
You ain't heard a million times
You gotta love your neighbor
Even the ones that you don't like
Love love love, need some love, love love
I need some help what can I say.....
It's a crazy nut job mad house
So what you gonna do
Everything you throw out
Comes right back to you
Love love love, need some love, love love
