A Good Problem
02:11
|
|||
|
Well I’m negative and cynical but it gets me through the day
I expect the worse from everyone bad things to come my way
The world is getting hotter and I’m breathing dirty air
I don’t believe in miracles can’t rely on prayers
The Problem is The Problem is The only Problem is (I don’t really care)
(I don’t give a damn)
(I don’t give a shit)
(I don’t give a fuck)
Animals and children die in misery each day
but I sleep like a baby me and my friends are ok.
I got a college education according to the plan.
Its time to make a contribution, time to take my stand
It’s not my problem
While famine starves the Africans war bleeds the middle east
my family and me enjoy a big delightful feast.
A hungry man I meet asks me to help a little bit.
I got more than I need, more than I’ll admit.
I’m only growing older I’ll eventually expire
I got a work a bunch more yours then maybe I’ll get to retire
I could die alone and destitute without a single buck
and if there really is an afterlife I’m all shit out of luck

Bad Day
02:01
|
|||
|
I did not ask for this to come,
I been against it from day one.
People say that life is a gift,
but coutin’ years I calculate they go too swift
Today’s your day today they said,
I’d rather hide under my bed.
People say that life is great ,
but I keep hopin’ that I will decelerate
It’s my birthday, unhappy birthday the worst day of the year.
got lots of calls comments and cards,
free drinks for me out at the bars
People say that life is a blast,
enjoy it right now ‘cause it sure ain’t gonna last
Everyone sings that stupid song,
reminds me I won’t be here too long
People say that life is fun,
but I can’t forget there’s not much time until it’s done

Good Kill
02:07
|
|||
|
Sausage and steak, no bones to break
frozen or fresh, fried broiled or baked
at breakfast lunch and dinners there’s losers and winners
FDA certified guaranteed to be a good kill.
After the fall, hangin’ on the wall
nothin to do but watch you all.
Sacrifice for sport to give a good thrill
licensed and legal designated that it was a good kill.
Kill Kill
Rats in the basement, bugs in my bed
I think we can agree that we’ll be better when they’re dead.
Assassination with gas ordered by the ruling class
Dictators of the mass say it’s a clear case of kill or be killed.
By decree of the state, we must exterminate
all the vermin and scum so we can make our nation great.
They got a different God, they wanna take your job.
Citizens who vote determine that this is a necessary kill.
The man in the back needs to make a decision
to launch an attack with surgical precision.
He wants to stop the word before it can be heard
by the starving heard rising up to kill kill kill.

been dreamin’ bad dreams seen stealin’ sad scenes,
I keep bettin’ on bad teams (yeah)
been buyin’ off bad hair hidin’ underneath hot air,
can’t remember if I cared ever
Bad Bad Bad Could Should Would
Yeah Yeah Yeah Bad Means Good
been lookin’ for lost signs, hopin’ for end times
I’m busy paintin’ them fine lines wider
been cashin bad checks watchin’ this ship wreck,
we been boilin’ this dust speck forever
been walkin’ on bad feet swallowin’ spoiled meat
only losers do not cheat (yeah)
been plantin’ that bad seed, smokin’ up rag weed,
its making my bad deed better

The Good Gestapo
02:24
|

|
We are the ones, we are the good ones
Revolutionary daughters and sons
our shames and shuns are better than guns
we are the good ones
We are innocent unspoiled youth
we fight for justice speak our truth
We march in place through this unsafe space
stopping jokes and songs about gender and race
I am not me I am a we only usses and thems no hes or shes
We are not girls we are not guys
if we close our eyes we can neutralize
We don’t say nigger that words a trigger
nobody is fat we say full figured
Sanitizin’ this scene one word at a time
fumigate the filth, scape off the grim
Leaving internet ghosts from deleted posts
killing off thoughts we hate the most
when people get clever and call us cunts
they’re all on Candid Camera ‘cause we’re all Alan Funts

Bad Things
02:18
|
|||
|
You always get your way each and every day and it pisses me off
Someday somebodies gonna put you in your place.
Force you to do things differently for once in your life
I hope that I’ll be there to see that day.
I want bad things to happen to you
I wanna hear you cry and watch you suffer too
Am I a bad guy, maybe it’s true
‘cause I want bad things to happen to you.
Everyone takes so much of your bullshit all of the time
You seem to be oblivious to your faults
You wan’t admit even one little bit to the smallest of crimes
I hope that I’ll be there to see you fall.
Old alone scorned and banned missing teeth broken bones can’t walk sit or stand
Pain sorrow unhappy tomorrow
no cash left in hand, fake friends all dead and damned.
You think your so great everybody else hates they just want what you’ve got
You say you don’t need anyone’s advice
Friends left in the cold ‘cause heads gotta role on the way to the top
You say there ain’t no reason to be nice

Sofa saddled up and ready to ride across the sand
huntin’ down outlaws throughout the bad lands
Enforcin’ frontier justice, an eye for an eye
comin’ out with six guns blazin’ better reach up for the sky
Yippeekayay
To a television cowboy the world is black and white
watch out for danger keep enemies in site
Its a never endin’ story, it cain’t be satisfied
an exciting new adventure next week at this same time
Yippeekayay
Way out west remote control marshal plays it close to the vest
Wild Wild
Wild Wild West
A thousand miles across the desert only cactuses for friends
There’s still time for more dessert before this program ends

Way out west remote control marshal plays it close to the vest

Bad Decisions
02:53
|
|||
|
Woke up late dressed a slob did not stay straight so I last that job.
I always make the same mistake
Bad Decisions
Stayed out all night got locked outside don’t like to fight, so I guess I lied.
Again I lose when I choose
Bad Decisions
Found some cash, lost it at cards dined and dashed, sent disregards.
That’s one more strike, it’s like I like
Bad Decisions
During this incarceration multiple humiliations
from the slight miscalculations of my youth
gave birth to this creation and provided inspiration
to be a little bit less careless with the truth.
Borrowed that car flipped off a cop took things too far and would not stop.
Sometimes it seems I even dream
Bad Decisions
Locked in this cell I fell in line truth now I tell, at least this time.
I guarantee I’m finally free from
Bad Decisions

OO You’re not much of a match
YOU you’re not a great catch
you’re not that smart
I can tell you’re never gonna break my heart.
OO You’re not my type
YOU you’ll never change my life

I think I know you’re not the one.
No No No I’m not love struck
Baby baby baby you’re a DAMN GOOD FUCK!
YOU You’re extremely unkind
OO all of the time
you’re not nice
an exploding supernova you’re cold as ice.
OO You’re place is a dump
YOU you lie like Trump

your habits are nasty and your manners are rude.
You never never never never bring me good luck
but baby baby baby you’re a DAMN GOOD FUCK!
YOU You’re not my bud
OO no I’m not in love
I’m a sad sad sack
I can’t help it I keep comin’ back
Maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe I’m stuck
‘cause baby baby baby you’re a DAMN GOOD FUCK
baby baby baby you’re a DAMN GOOD FUCK
baby baby baby you’re a DAMN GOOD FUCK!

You thought you ran me out of town but I’ve been livin’ underground
I ain’t stayin’ down I’ll be comin’ back around
You better man up you better get ready ‘cause I’m comin’ right back
I’m like a Bad Penny
My fuckin’ face is to the curb you better not disturb
kepp walkin’ over there with your nose up in the air
You better man up you better get ready ‘cause I’m comin’ right back
I’m like a Bad Penny
You left me in the cold but I’m not waitin’ to get old
don’t get me wrong it won’t be very long.
You better man up you better get ready ‘cause I’m comin’ right back
I’m like a Bad Penny

Good Day to Die
02:12
|
|||
|
Woke up this morning kicked off my shoes
locked all my doors said “fuck you” to the news.
Deleted my messages messed up my hair,
cancelled appointments forgot all my prayers.
My body is broken my mind is undone
things I enjoy are no longer much fun.
My effects are in order got a place in the dirt
preacher said its way too late to convert.
Bye bye I’m all out a life
got nothin else left for the kids and the wife
got no more time I can borrow or buy
you don’t have to cry...
Burned my old letters abandoned my car
I’m takin’a trip but don’t need to go far.
Kissed my last kiss, sang my last song
got rid of the shit that I can’t bring along.
Bye bye I’m just about done
my work here is over I’ve had a good run
got no more time I can borrow or buy
I cannot deny its a good day to die.
My story is over this is the last chapter
at the end I will die happily ever after
I’ve had pleasures and pains, losses and gains
but I’d do it all over exactly the same.
Bye bye I got no more friends
got nothin but memories and dreams in the end
got no more time I can borrow or buy
I’m not gonna lie its a good day to die
I cannot deny its a good day to die
you don’t have to cry...

Bad Memory
02:54
|

|
I forgot please forgive me you know I got bad memory.
I don’t remember what was said.
I can’t recall if that happened I am truly sorry
if I left you there for dead.
Tomorrow knows what I know, I don’t know
Yesterday does, so it goes
I select things that I want to believe to be or not be
that way nobody is to blame.
I recollect something about you you might have tried to kill me
when I asked you for your name
Tomorrow knows what I know, I don’t know
Yesterday does, so it goes
It’s over now don’t remind me it just brings up bad memories
a tragedy too often told.
When I leave will you forget me will you rewrite history
will you still feel me when I’m cold.
Tomorrow knows what I know, I don’t know
Yesterday does, so it goes
