The Used

Maybe your brain
Is slowing down
But your smart phone speed
Is as fast as sound
The world-wide-web
Google’s credit card
But PageRank bias
Means they’ve gone too far
The search you do
May give you what you seek
But your profile stats
Only make you weak
You’re riding on a cloud
Mr. Data and you
But the shit he knows
The Homeland does too
Chorus:
You think you’re a user, but you’re really the used
Just a cog in the wheel of the growing confused
Empowerment comes at the drop of a mouse
So turn off that screen and burn down the house
Facebook likes
all the Likes you like
but so do the companies
that buy your rights
your address and your preferences
are on the block
but like a few dislikes
and give’em a shock
search up the random
to googley screw
their profile page
starts to look askew
your power’s in the random
so take it back
your predictability is
what they hack

Superhero
02:47

I wanna be a fuckin superhero
With my cape in the wind
And my tight blue suit
Crushin super-villians
With a flip of the finger
Square-jawed like a Stan Lee brute
The world is filled with pricks to kill
Any greedy fucker will fit the bill
Criminal justice makes me laugh
Lets go be-head some more riff-raff
I wanna give Lois Lane some grass
While Mary Jane takes notes
in my class
No altered ego
Bruce Wayne here
No PG-13 musketeer
I wanna be a Ro-foe of a good guy
Makin people cringe
Yet they can’t look away
Green lantern light
In a red light district
Havin myself a field day
The Watchmen knew what to do at night
With friend and foe locked in their sights
Captain America makes me puke
With his star striped stupid spandex suit
Solo
I wanna be a fuckin super hero
I wanna give lois lane some of my best grass
I wanna be a Ro-foe of a good guy
Justice league what do you think about that
How do you like me now baby…..

Kevin's Money
02:28
|
|||
My name is Kevin
And I love money
Greed is good
You need to get some sonny
I work the market
To pay my rent
Your start-up funds for
51 percent
Chorus:
Amanda knickers
Are beckoning me
But the Lang stock exchange
Has too high a fee
Some call me dragon
But I’m really a shark
Sharpening my jaws
While my Bentley is parked
Some silly people
Think that charity’s good
But the ultra-rich despise
Poor Robin Hood
While others say
Best things in life are free
I think you want them more
When they come with a fee
Religious say
The meek inherit the earth
But that’s a poor yard-stick
To measure net worth
A needle eye knows
How much a camel drank
While the rich man saves
at the Vatican bank
My TV wife’s the
Architect of reason
But cold hard cash
Is good in any season
I’m not concerned about
Redemption from doom
Just cuddling my money
At the height of the boom

Pandemania

Refrain:
Pandamania takes it’s hold
Profiteering bought and sold
Chorus 1:
You gotta tool box, You got a kit
But you’re a god damn, Big nitwit
Big money, is all that’s made
Cuz the patent office, just got paid
only therapies, that cost money
forget about, the other ones honey
biological terrain, who gives a crap
vitamins and herbs, ain’t on the map
Chorus 2:
Tell everyone, To be afraid
Pharmaceutical companies, Just got paid
The economy’s, In the shitter
Let’s go to war, And hope there’s a winner
We’ll blame bats
And 5G rays
Curl up at home
And spend your days
Chorus 3:
Panic buy, toilet paper
Be complicit, In the caper
Sanitize Your grubby hands
While you get fucked up
By the man
Look who makes
All the money now
Investment banks
Somehow

Jucy Lucy
02:33
|
|||
I’ve never been someone
To give up my soul
For a pittance
You never give your secrets
up to others so they
gain admittance
C:
Jucy Lucy
Come on and feel me
It’s the real me
Jucy Lucy
There is never
Something better
Someone clever
Looks forever
To be profound
In a sea of mediocre
Running through the weeds
You take my hand
From the pack of hands reaching
I can meet your needs
Your mental stare
What beautiful negligence you wear
When you’re here
My mouth is parched
Like that dreary day in March
My mind unclear
End Refrain:
I…need…freedom…to breathe…

Messin’ with my mind
Messin’ with my heart
Messin’ gotta give me some space
Messin’ trying to win the race
C: You don’t know what your doin settin off a powder keg
Gonna get myself outta this mess…
Messin’ with my brain
Messin’ with my guts
Messin’ show me somethin’ like grace
Messin’ take away my face
Messin’ with my soul
Messin’ with my time
Messin’ give me time to regroup
Messin’ stewin in my soup

I love Sweden
01:53
|
|||
Wanna be complete, Like instructions
Store all my things, in a Skub
light the room up, with a Tived
use a Nyvoll as my bed
the Allen key
Absolut savior
All bevies better
In a Lodrat
Store’s a maze
That I just can’t leave
Fell like an experimental rat
Chorus:
Ikea, Ikea (they got goodies, they got junk)
Existentialist’s (particle board)
Panacea (it’s all bunk)
Ikea, Ikea (they got candles, and some plants)
Fundamentalist’s (come and do)
Diarrhea (their big dance)
Wash my face
In an Edeboviken
Wipe my mouth
With an Oersattlig
Sounds cooler when
The name sounds strange
Gotta shop like a lost guinea pig
Nesting instinct
Starts to kick in
Need an ideal space
That’s clean
Swedish meatballs
Taste so great
Why do I feel that I took the bait

Sh*t, Shat, Shite
02:48
|

Aren’t you bothered by the voices you hear
Tellin you that there’s something to fear
They say what’s wrong and they day what’s right
But deep down you know its shit, shat, shite
Deep down…you know its shit, shat, shite
Yeah!
Scream for change, pennies what you get
Trickle down never gets you wet
Leaders seem so pretty and bright
But what they say is just shit, shat, shite
What they say… is just shit, shat, shite
Yeah!
Word Association…
Omnibus…disgust
TPP…amputee
Separatist…terrorist
Right-to-work…knee-jerk
Celebration…castration
Protest…house arrest
Advertisements, propagate lies
Pseudo-truth’s new clever disguise
When did honesty succumb to hype
Now we know it’s all shit, shat, shite
Now we know…its all shit, shat, shite
GMO…Monsanto-hoe
Oil sands…Dead lands
Climate change…bottled rage
New improved…more steps removed
Call recorded…pretty sordid
Walmart…Black Art

You tip the bottle, and the sloppiness starts
Telling us to pull your finger, so you can fart
Polite restraint has died a casual death
Between the puffs on your cigarette
Refrain:
A little reckless, a little feckless,
Slightly dirty, somewhat flirty
deviation, more hydration
speak your mind with cold calculation
your head would look good, on a small key fob
boss is a dick, I need another job
the government, should give out hand jobs for free
under the jury-duty Christmas tree
Refrain:
Bridge: (in Sean Connery accent)
Acceptable, drunken behavior,
I’m acting as your bona-fide savior,
My name is Bond, first name is James
Sophistication’s, not the name of my game
Miss Moneypenny I’ll give you a squeeze
So hurry up and get up off of your knees
There’s nothing wrong with being just a bit tipsy
When your getting in the sack with some gypsies
Just take a Ro-Fo of a brief respite
Tell jour-na-lists they look like trans-ves-tites
Your mother hammered in what manners were for
Martinis show you how to even the score
R:
If farts were snowflakes, I’d send you a blizzard
Booze makes me, a tongue twisting wizard
The lips are loosened, with copious sauce
Scorch your ears and leave you at a loss

Someday Oneday
03:54
|

Someday…One Day
You might find yourself fed up
Hey Hey…
Someday… One Day
Hell might keep your heaven at bay
Promises lost in time
When you’re facing the firing line
Naught but the ghost of a chance
When you’re doin’ the desperate dance
Someday… One day
The crime you commit will be hearsay
Someday… One day
The one you love you might betray
Innocence falls away like trust
Time changes your ideals to dust
Mirror reflects what you hate
Gravitas is a deadly weight
Someday…One day
You’ll wake up and see your youth’s gone gray
Someday…One day
The cheque’s come due you’ll have to pay
You’ll reap the seads you sow
From the debts you incurred to grow
Live your life then leave this place
Hang on to what’s left of grace
Someday…One day
You may not get to have your say
Someday…One day
The predator in you might be prey
Say you’ll come along for the ride
Even though you feel the need to hide
Life’s just a path to the end
Walked better when you’re with a friend
Someday… One day
You’ll find its all a big cliché
Someday… One day
Cannot make much more headway
Roadblocks barring every path
Suffering in the aftermath
Dark times seeming less ideal
Blocking your ability to feel

Stray Kitty
02:56

Kitty, Kitty where you at
Kitty, Kitty come back
My kitty whines when he can’t go out
When it rains that kitty just pouts
The way he sounds you’d think he was ill
Guess there’s mice that he needs to kill
My kitty don’t ever come home on time
Wakes me all hours no reason or rhyme
One day he might not ever come back
Don’t give me a heart attack
Give me a break let me sleep in today
5:30 ain’t a great time to play….
Your life of idleness depends on my day
Stop wearin me out hey, hey
Solo… Bridge
My lovely wife mostly gives you your way
You just keep buggin her, till she says OK
I’m the mean one, so leave me alone
But you don’t, that's why I groan
My kitty don’t ever come home on time
Wakes me all hours no reason or rhyme
One day he might not ever come back
Don’t give me a heart attack
