Old Blue Jeans

My old blue jeans will outlive me
Running across the rivers, soaking up the streams.
Oh so slowly tearing at the seams.
For a corporate scheme they’re a damn good tool to do The Thing.

My dealer lies over the ocean, my dealer lies over the sea
My dealer lies over the ocean, smoking that Filipino weed
Bring back! Bring back!
Oh bring back my dealer to me, to me
Bring back! Bring back!
Bring him back from The Philippines
My dealer lies over the ocean, my dealer lies over the sea
My dealer lies over the ocean, smoking that dank Filipino weed

Drug Solution
02:04
|

I need drugs like I need a hole in the head
I need a hole in the head to smoke drugs
I don’t drink PBR unless I’m out with my brother at the bars
Cause I only get around in this town for one dollar PBR nights
Cause I know how to make 8 dollars work right
It’s not a drug problem. It’s a drug solution!
I don’t drink to escape from life.
I drink to escape from harder drugs.
Do you need my shoes? I’ve got socks
Do you need my socks? I was born with two fucking feet
There are several types (hundreds of types!)
Of alcohol poured in my head
But I’m only needing one of them to get me safely into bed
But I’ll take the floor instead!
It’s not a drug problem. It’s a drug solution!
I don’t drink to escape from life.
I drink to escape from harder drugs.
I need drugs like I need a hole in the head
I need a hole in the head to smoke my drugs
He tried to light a fire using cigarettes and gasoline
But I smoked all my cigarettes and the fire wouldn’t light
But I’m better off now
Cause he’s huffing gasoline and the school was made of bricks anyway

Muted Mandolin
01:30
|

Let me tell you a story bout a muted mandolin
Never got played cause it’s strings were too thin
No wood outside, worn out within
It’ll probably end up in a garbage bin
(Repeat)
Played around the world by a million hands
It’s got blue grass folk and punk rock fans
In America, Germany, UK, and Japan
Bouncing with the band in a mini-van
(They all go!)
Play that mandolin! (x4)
Let me tell you a story bout a muted mandolin
Never got played cause it’s strings were too thin
No wood outside, worn out within
It’ll probably end up in a garbage bin
Muted mandolin sure got passed around
But got lost somewhere in some muted town
Now it’s just dying to be found
Dying to play make a sound for a dying crowd
I told you a story bout a muted mandolin
Never got played cause it’s strings were too thin
No wood outside, worn out within
It’ll probably end up in a garbage bin

He knows that he’s a man, but his mommy and his daddy claim that she’s our pretty princess
He explains it the best that he can, but his grammy and his pappy say he doesn’t have a penis anyway
He kisses boys and girls, doesn’t matter
What junk they might or might now have
Picky bout personality
Someone who likes camping and would climb a mountain with him
For 20 years he’s been confused and conflicted
Stood up, turned down. Refused and contradicted
Checked himself in to rehab therapy to
Escape the pain and the methamphetamines, whoa
Cause meth ain’t for men, whoa
No meth ain’t for men, whoa
Meth ain’t for men whoa
Whoa
Don’t need the kiss of a princess, you were never a frog
Don’t need the kiss of a princess, you was never a frog
Don’t need no kiss from no princess, you weren’t ever a frog
Don’t need a kiss from a princess, you’ve always been a prince.

Crumble and fall
Harder than the future of the outlet mall
With a broken belly in a bathroom stall
Vomit in his beard leaning up against the wall
The give helmets to crash test dummies
He needs a helmet just for drinking
Coil in pain
Regrets nothing cause he does it just the same
Broken glass in my feet from a picture frame
What a shame it’s the sanity that’s driving me insane
Who needs food when you’ve got cigarettes?
Who needs shoes when you’ve got calluses?
Crumble and fall
Smokin soaken spirits in a shower stall
Coiled in pain
That’s the name of the game when you’re the one that’s called insane

What you call empathy, I call distress
What you call apathy, I call death
What you call fun is not in my plans tonight
What you call wrong I call somebody’s right
Whoa, if the mind is an ocean, well, I get the notion I’m drowning
Whoa, and if God isn’t real, then how come I feel like a bird?
What you call progress, I call disturbed
What you call madness, I call my friends
If you want justice, well, you can’t just hold your breath
(You gotta) raise your voice, raise your fists, and sometimes care too much
City of vultures in a country of crows
Vultures and crows

Social Geometry
03:01
|
|||
I feel like a circle in a world full of squares
Maybe I’m hexagonal, maybe nobody cares
I’m a single apple in a world full of pairs
My mind is going in circles instead of going down stairs
Goin down stairs
Where nobody shares
With all of the squares
All of the squares
I feel like a jester in a travelling fair
You know the kind that hangs around with lions and bears
Imma shakin my mane out while they’re combing their hair
Say my types devastating, devastatingly rare
I’m incredibly rare
Not that you notice or care
Cause I’m not full of hot air, my head ain’t full of hot air
I feel like a circle in a world full of squares
Maybe I’m octangular, probably no one fucking cares
I’m a big ol banana in a tree full of pears
I keep on runnin in circles, and then fallin down stairs
I’m as blind as justice in this place so unfair
I’d take my side of the argument if I wasn’t so scared
I keep on running in circles, naked and bare
Yeah, I’m running in circles, but I’m running with squares
They got me running with squares
Runnin in circles with squares
All of the squares, all of the squares
A world full of squares
Linear linear linear linear ways
You got me thinkin in your
Linear linear linear linear ways
I’m done thinkin in your
Linear linear linear linear ways
Fuckin fed up with your
Linear linear linear linear ways
Because your lines are lazy lines because your lies are lazy lies
Because your lines are lazy lines because your lies are lazy lies
Because your lines are lazy lines because your lies are lazy lies
Because your lines are lazy lines are lazy lies
Linear linear linear linear ways
We’re getting nowhere with your
Linear linear linear linear ways
No progression in your
Linear linear linear linear ways
Only backwards with your
Linear linear linear linear ways
(Inaudible nonsense)

Lit Way and Harmony

On the corner of Lit way and harmony
There’s a couple of annoying kids, I really hope they lose a Frisbee
Amd their parents are vacuuming their mini-van
I just want to get drunk tonight and smoke the free cancer in my hand
In my hand
Waitin in line for coffee go get a life
Waitin in line to watch TV go get a life
Waitin in line to go pee better get a life
Waitin in line just cause it’s free, I really need a life
On the corner of Jit Way and Sodomy
It’s about a minute walk to the local Dollar Tree
And I’m gonna kill your parents with my cigarette
Hope you don’t mind watching them burn to death
Burn to death
Waitin in line for coffee go get a life
Waitin in line to watch TV go get a life
Waitin in line to go pee better get a life
Waitin in line just cause it’s free, I really need a life
(Repeat)
The bandits live on Lit Way and Harmony
And that’s where they’ll find my bloated, broken body

Graveyard Riots
02:10
|
|||
When swimming in the Devil’s Punchbowl, better adapt quickly, because the ocean
Will keep your body, there’ll be an empty casket, at the graveyard riots
I want to live
At my funeral, there’ll be no priest, no cemetery
Decomposing, long before, before the graveyard riots
I want to live

The Thing
00:49
|
|||
My old blue jeans will die with me
Crashing across the oceans, soaking up the seas
I don’t know what the Upside-down Time brings
But for the beasts of the anthropocene, it might just be The Thing
But they won’t do The Thing alone
Why would they do The Thing alone?
When you never have to do anything alone!
