Heavy Metal Kids
Its like a normal times square day on 42nd street
I feel like trashing some windows and crunching some feet
I watch society crumble and I just laugh (hee hee)
They soon will see what its like to be the other half
But Im trying
Said Im trying to forget
And it aint happened yet
I musta woke up this morning with a bug up my ass
I think Ill just haul off and belt the next jerk that I pass
My old man says Im just a stoned little punk
But he keeps himself a pistol and hes always drunk
I know
Somethings gonna give
Pretty soon
I know it
Somethings gonna give
I wanna live
I wanna mess thing whole world around
Go on and poison all the water, use up all the air
Blow your stupid heads off, see if I could care

Last Ride
It's the last ride
Our little game is over
It's the last ride
It's time to take you home
And we can't cry 'cause we seen it coming
No use running, take it slower
It's a dangerous drive
I'm afraid to arrive
But I strive to survive
More a fool than alive
I thought I knew just everything
I had it made and I could coast
But I turned away love when I needed it most
It's the last ride
My little game is over
It's the last ride
It's time to take me home
And I can't cry 'cause I seen it coming
No use running, take it slower
And the road rolls around

For A Song
What good is money unless it brings
That certain something
For the girl whos got everything
Here is an item you cant pass by
Wont even cost you one thin dime
I wont give up until you own me
Lock me up and throw away the key
Precious possession, your private property
The price is right so wont you buy me
For a song, you can have me, for a song
Just for a minute stand in my place
Youll understand what I want you to say
Give me a whisper or give a shout
Clue me in, Ill work it out
Ill never break down, Im maintenance free
And I come with a life time guarantee
You just cant pass up this opportunity
Dont hesitate cause if you want me
For a song, you can have me, for a song
I belong to you (hand in hand together)

Zen Archer
Pretty bird with feathers falling
Pretty as a lady calling
For her pink and midnight lover
As she stares into the water
And a yellow moon is rising
And there can't be no disguising
That the pretty bird is dying
With a silver arrow lying at its side
Rivers of blood,
Oceans of tears,
Life without death,
And death without reason
To the whole united nations,
To your greatest expectations
To the moment that you realize
As a dark figure slips from out of the shadow
Pretty bird closes its eyes, pretty bird dies
Another pretty thing dead on the end of the shaft
Of the zen archer
A man in parts forgotten

Day Job
Don't quit your day job
Corporate-crybaby
A bit wiser and a whole lot older, feelin' bolder
Suckin' up to the last stockholder with a
Golden parachute slung over your shoulder
Jacked-up-B-boy
Another fool got stuck in the whirlpool
Lookin' for a fast break, not enough cake to go 'round
Another brother goes down, and he's out of the gene pool
Media-pimp
Day after day, night after night if the money is right
The campaign goes on to make right seem wrong
With computer animation and a hip-hop song
Land of opportunity, this is the
Stop
Don't quit your day job
Cowboy-politician
Suckin' up to the aristocracy
Not even sure if you like democracy
Tryin' to establish an american royalty, a personal dynasty

Bread
Sleeping at night in a plaster board box
Scratching the earth with the nails on my fingers
And the ground pukes up rocks and rocks and more rocks
And when the seeds finally reach the ground
Its all been for nothing
I hear the cries of children at night
I watch their faces grow sallow with hunger
Who draws the line between whats wrong and right
And when I ask my life is for
Its all been for nothing
Save your regrets for the dead, but for the living
Give them love and give them bread
One more hungry mouth to be fed
Remember the living
Give them love, give them bread
Standing in the light of the kitchen screen door
Like some kind of untouchable stuck in calcutta
I almost forget what Im standing here for
And I dont know what to do but I know
I wont leave with nothing

Time Stood Still
Walkin' along the sea and thinkin'
Deep in a reverie I'm sinkin'
Blind to the world, to myself I'm talkin'
Schemin' and dreamin' and sleepwalkin'
Dreamin' of colors, dreamin' of sounds
Dreamin' of things that can't be wrote down
Slippin' away so no one will miss me
Waitin' for angels to kiss me and bliss me
Time stood still
And nobody knew but me and you
What's the meaning of all that I've seen
All those images up on the screen
Which is the channel that's goin' to show me
Answers to questions I don't even know
This is the light I stand in the glare of
I'm here and I'm there, but I'm always aware of
Singin' a song in the back of my mind
Something mysterious, something divine
How many hours, I hear you breathing?
How many days, I smell your skin?

Piece By Piece
She looks good
But shes not all together right
All the parts are not screwed on tight
Theres a touch of tragedy
When she moves
I can see the secret showing through
Shed deny it if she thought I knew
But she could never hide from me
Anyone would think theres nothing wrong
She looks so satisfied
But Ive known about her much too long
She cant conceal what she feels inside
Im going to show her that
Piece by piece
Inch by inch
I can put her back together again
Ill supply the love she lacks
And give her back
Exactly what she needs
Bringing it piece by piece

Lost Horizon
Now I guess its too late to speculate
On things as they might have been
That given the time, youd read my mind
And know there was love within
I could loudly exclaim we felt the same
But not in all honesty
Now youll never know
How could you know the friend that you had in me
Ive got so much to learn now
Lessons I never had
When you lose a friend forever
Hurts so bad
Ooh it hurt me so bad
I had always believed that you and me
Were connected by destiny
But the time never came
It sounds so lame
Is it all just my vanity?
Am I the only one to feel the sun
Exactly the way I do?
