24 hours
Twenty four hours, I live in a van,
Next destination according to plan
Crack in the windshield, snow up ahead,
Just hit the mountains don’t want to be dead
Chorus:
Don’t you be laughing when I’m walking out the door
Pretty soon you’ll be crying when you realize I won’t be coming back no more
Twenty four hours, just sleep in a van
What’s there to know now, “yeah we’re the band”
Hot on the prairies, forty below
Just hit the mountains, starting to snow
Chorus
Twenty four hours, I live in a van,
Next destination according to plan
Crack in the windshield, snow up ahead,
Just hit the mountains don’t want to be dead
Chorus
Twenty four hours, just sleep in a van
What’s there to know now, “yeah we’re the band”
Hot on the prairies, forty below
Just hit the mountains, starting to snow
Chorus
Twenty four hours, I live in a van,
Next destination according to plan
Crack in the windshield, snow up ahead,
Just hit the mountains don’t want to be dead

Pot Stinks
I smell pot I think it stinks,
I’m anti-drugs but I still drink
My alcohol with aspertaine,
I take a pill when I feel pain
We need it all, we need the lot,
But you’ll go to hell if you smoke pot
From dexidrim to valium,
little pills for my ho-hums
From pick me ups to pain relievers
for my colds perhaps slight fevers
We need it all, we need the lot,
But you’ll go to hell if you smoke pot
Up on a soap box in an endless charade
Two million dollars more for a just say no parade
Martini lunch to discuss the solution
More money against drug but none for pollution
We need it all, we need the lot,
But you’ll go to hell if you smoke pot
My cigarettes cause heart attacks
The city ghettos are still full of rats
Cop shot a black man caused quite a commotion
Suspected drug dealer gave the cop a promotion

Music Whores

Music whores
I'm a cool cat
I know where it's at
Rockin rhythm kings
We'll make your ears ring
Now I'm telling you the score
We are all just music whores
Making music, making money
Selling merch, what’s so funny?
Rockin band, rockin show
Love to talk but gotta go
Towel down my sweaty choad
Load the van and hit the road
Grab a bite and forty winks
Crank the windows something stinks
Destination up ahead
Keep on playing until we're dead
Making music, making money
Selling merch, what’s so funny?
Now I'm telling you the score
We are all just music whores
Music whores, music whores

Expectations
The jacket’s made to order
But now it fits too tight
All the boundaries have become boarders
That I’ll try and cross tonight
A certain set of givens,
A rigid code you accept
The light shines harshly on my features
As I toy with what you expect
But who am I, to patronize
Who am I to criticize?
I should have delivered instead I neglect
Limits are safe and always should be met
A certain set of givens,
A rigid code you accept
The light shines harshly on my features
As I toy with what you expect

My Baby Is A Go-Go Girl
02:38

My baby is a go-go girl
My baby is a go-go girl,
Jet black hair and a flip and a curl
She likes to dance, she never stops,
She invented the Blitzkeg bop
One thing for sure, I love her a lot, in her go-go boots, she’s really hot
My baby is a go-go girl 4X
Meet her at the discotheque on a Saturday night,
In her vinyl mini she was quite a sight
Up in her cage she caught my eye
Shakin’ to the music, goddess in the sky
One thing for sure, I love her a lot, in her go-go boots, she’s really hot
My baby is a go-go girl 4X
Bridge:
Thick mascara and black eyeliner, that’s when I knew it had to be her
Caught her on her break and she bought me a drink
She blew me a kiss, she gave me a wink
My baby is a go-go girl,
Jet black hair and a flip and a curl
She likes to dance, she never stops,
She invented the Blitzkeg bop
One thing for sure, I love her a lot, in her go-go boots, she’s really hot
My baby is a go-go girl 4X

I'm Addicted To Her

I’m addicted to her
I’m addicted to her- and her womanly charms
I’m addicted to her- I want her in my arms
I’m addicted to her- this much I’m sure
I’m addicted to her- I hope there is no cure
Energy is all I need- And her love on which I feed
Got these feeling that I cannot quell- I’m in me deep you know I’m under her spell
Oxytocin, endorphin hit- I’m in deep you know I cannot quit
Power surge going straight to my brain- Can’t think straight, you know I’m going insane
Cause- I’m addicted to her
I’m addicted to her
I’m addicted to her
I’m addicted to her
I’m addicted to her- call it heavenly bliss
I’m addicted to her- started with a kiss
I’m addicted to her- yeah she’s my drug
I’m addicted to her- I absorb it through hugs
Chorus
I’m addicted to her- and her sweet caress
I’m addicted to her- you know she’s simply the best
I’m addicted to her- I need her to stay
I’m addicted to her- please don’t go away
Chorus

A Bit Too Heavy

Bit too heavy
(for the Mainstream)
Trade your coffee for some tea
Settle into mediocrity
I shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds
I wouldn’t like where that leads
Just a bit too heavy for the mainstream
Just a bit too heavy for the mainstream
(dig this)
Guitar music is on the way out
Does the singer have to shout?
Did I upset your inner peace?
When’s this racket going to cease
Just a bit too heavy for the mainstream
Just a bit too heavy for the mainstream
(check it)
Hey programmer will you decide
If you’ll play my latest side
Because it’s all starting to sound all the same
And the music you play is so fucking lame
Just a bit too heavy for the mainstream
Just a bit too heavy for the mainstream

Silver Spoon
Born with a silver spoon, if it ended all too soon
Now you’ll have to fend for yourself
The real world much too scary, for one with little daring
Guess you’ll have to find yourself a job
You never had to suffer, mom and dad where your buffer
Now things are getting hard, without those credit cards
Born with a silver spoon, if it ended all too soon
Now you’ll have to fend for yourself
The real world much too scary, with one with little daring
Guess you’ll have to find yourself a job
Silver spoon- silver 2x
Rich kid, rich kid, rich kid, rich kid what’d say?
Live your life hope your parents pay
Rich kid, rich kid, rich kid, rich kid, what’d do?
Hope mom and dad never tire of you
You never had to suffer, (silver)
Mom and dad where your buffer (Silver)
Now things would get real hard (silver), without those credit cards (silver)
You never had to suffer, mom and dad where your buffer
Now things would get real hard, without those credit cards
You never had to suffer, (silver)
Mom and dad where your buffer (Silver)
Now things would get real hard (silver), without the credit cards (silver)
Silver spoon- Silver

Up Is Down

Down is up
Chorus:
Up is down, down is up - you know
Down is up, up is down- so it goes
Up is down, down is up- does it show?
Down is up , up is down - I feel low
Feeling down, you hope it's fleeting
You're alive your heart is beating
The destiny that you're not meeting
It's dangerous the death you're cheating
Chorus
So get up and earn your daily bread
You must take stock in what is said
About your life and where it's led
To be successful is what you’re fed
Chorus
Now's the time to take the lead
Forget the wants there's only needs
They only treat the wounds that bleed
And celebrate that which succeeds
Chorus
Mommy bailed left you alone
Daddy died left you his home
Now up is down and down is up
How'd it all get so fucked up?

Has Been/ Never Was
02:42
|

Has been never was
You know there comes a time when finally I must decide
Seems you never found your place and soon you’ll fade without a trace
A has been / a never was you’ll never make it just because
You know it’s all the same, you’ll never make in a young man’s game
And still I continued on, trying to write your next hit song
And all those hits that be we’ll they never seemed to happen for me
A has been / a never was you’ll never make it just because
You know it’s all the same, you’ll never make in a young man’s game
Sometimes, I wonder, I wonder-why it has to be, all this negativity
Sometimes, I wonder, I wonder-if it’s a product of our minds
Can’t we leave it all behind?
Well now I face my final curtain of this I only can be certain
And if I fade without a trace would that be such a big disgrace
It doesn’t matter if the song it grooved all that matters is the unit moved
The hype machine continues on with little regard for music or song
All these things I say are true but I don’t care since I found you
And come what may, it may be true, but I don’t care since I have you

Mile In Their Shoes

Miles in their shoes
He’s a lazy slob without a job
Never gets out of bed
He’s on the dole, living in this hole
But he’d rather complain instead
She’s a daddy’s girl, a spoiled brat
Seen all the world and more
But she’s in touch with her common side
But she’ll never do the chores
Chorus:
You should walk a mile in their shoes
You should try the things that they do
You should live a year of their days
You should hear the things that they say
He has inspiration but lacks motivations
All the days they seem to blur
This rock and roll nation has led to stagnation
As no one could mature
She’s a negative girl who’s done it all
But can’t find were she fits
Her dad has paid for several schools
But she’s rather nightclub it
Chorus:
She sees trouble up ahead and on him she shouldn’t be depending
He sees the future bight and clear and understands there is some trouble pending
She thinks he’s hit the nail on the head and this relationship soon will be ending
They know it’s happening right now but he doesn’t like the opinion that she’s lending
Chorus

Looking Forward

Looking forward
As I check out from this alienation
Start moving forward from this stagnation
Letting go of all my aggravation
I looking forward with much anticipation
As I latch onto this ray of hope
Start climbing up from the end of my rope
I’ll put that horse before the cart
And getting over you is where I’ll start
Chorus:
Because when it all comes together it comes together here
When I start looking forward is all becomes quite clear
When it all comes together it comes together here
When start looking forward the sadness turns to cheer
I’ll start looking out by looking in
Seeing where I’m going instead of where I’ve been
Going to start some winning instead of losing
And create a world of my own choosing
Chorus-
First I had to visualize in order for me to realize
I’m better off with you gone, deep down I knew that all along
First I had to visualize in order for me to realize
I’m better off with you gone, deep down I knew that all along
Chorus
First I had to visualize in order for me to realize
I’m better off with you gone, deep down I knew that all along
First I had to visualize in order for me to realize
I’m better off with you gone, deep down I knew that all along
As I check out from this alienation
Start moving forward from this stagnation
Letting go of all my aggravation
I looking forward with much anticipation
