buy stuff, you angry man
you've got a job so lend a hand
there's a child in your eyes playing in the water
there's a want in your breath, wishing it was over
but the park is all dirty and it gets worse
work a days work, you angry man
forget who it benefitsin a hurry
and all of this is under your heart so pull it out and get over it
forget what it means to be taxed
remember what it meant to be on vacation
but the kingdom is not yours but the earth might have you
for a few drinks or one too many
and all of this is under your heart pull it out and get over it
cause it's bad and it's a worry
it gets worse, worse in a hurry
and all of this is under your heart pull it out and get over it

Don't Be Rude

the adverts are right
we eat fantasies and sleep uncomfortably
and the papers tell the truth like we've always knew
we talk to ourselves convincing and shrewd,
don't be rude.
don't be rude and remember what it's all about
balance the torture with pulls on a pipe
carry bread in one hand and the other a light
for your pulls on a pipe
do you feel like walking after taking all that heat
do you feel like a drink? you feel like a drink.
don't be rude
don't be rude
don't be rude
don't be rude
convincing and shrewd
don't be rude
don't be rude
don't be rude

Twice Every Night
you don't have to wait for answers
with so many questions by the pile
nobody wants to so say so
and let them spread like wildfire
so forget about your feelings
go and lock up all your kids
every day is so grueling when you feel it by the minute
it's your life flashing right before your eyes
and everyday is twice every night
it's a lifetime at light speed
a coming of ages
when I look across the prairie from the chair by the desk
i surf the waves of lonely seas before the table is set
it's my life flashing right before my eyes...
there’s a picture of my family on the day that I was born
i wish I knew that innocence
i wish the buzz would cure the bore
i see the skies at night like unicorns
And the aurora lights are just horizons out of work
it’s their life flashing right before their eyes
and every day is twice every night
it’s a lifetime at light speed
a coming of ages
when I looked across the prairie from the chair by the desk
i surf the waves of lonely seas before the table is set
it’s my life…

I Might Not Be Able

i’m gonna ruin my ears with all this dreaming
gonna ruin my mind with all this scheming
i’ve got no place to put it in play
i’ve got no one in the stands at the game
but listen, listen
to the sound of toothless wishing
listen, listen to me
cause I don’t know if I might be able
to tell you this again sometime…
i’ve got wars blowing up my headphones
and your voice gliding around my head
so let me get you on the phone to tell you
something that I’ve never told to no one
that I’ve made mistakes
I took an easy way
I lost my gusto
I made it this way…
but listen, listen
to the sound of toothless wishing
listen, listen to me
cause I don’t know if I might be able
to tell you this again sometime…

Blood & Tolls

don't be fooled by the darkness, it's not time for bed
you might be tired but it's just because they work you to death
so go outside and deny you're bored and you're tired
go outside and let it be known
you're not suffering when you are
and you've always been
paying blood & tolls, blood & tolls
it's your life long dream
written from the heart
in blood & tolls, blood & tolls
don't be fooled by the smoke, there's no fire at your door
you might be choking but they swear it's not, what it seems anymore
so go outside and deny you're bored and you're tired
go outside and let it be known
you're not suffering when you are
and you've always been
paying blood & tolls, blood & tolls
it's your life long dream
written from the heart
in blood & tolls, blood & tolls
and when the dream's denied
go back to the start
with no blood & tolls
blood & tolls
