Sarcastic mister know it all
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you 'cause
With the birds I'll share
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view

Push me up against the wall
Young Kentucky girl in a push-up bra
Fallin' all over myself
To lick your heart and taste your health 'cause
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view

Blood loss in a bathroom stall
Southern girl with a scarlet drawl
Wave good-bye to ma and pa 'cause
With the birds I'll share
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view

Soft spoken with a broken jaw
Step outside but not to brawl in
Autumn's sweet we call it fall
I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl and
With the birds I'll share
This lonely view
With the birds I'll share

Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, no friend of mine
Time won't keep us anymore
It's the usefulness of letting go
Your perfect plan has come and gone
Like the nuclear centuries' benefits

They say
You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach
You bought the same old trip

Lawful, vengeful, awful, friendship, misfits
Bits of feeling, thieving, fits inside revealing
Time to censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, no friend of mine

You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach (we don't mind the scope)
You bought the same old trip
Sigh of relief inside of a dream (we all lie)
You bought the same old

Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, paid to
Censor, censor, realize
Censor, censor, no friend of mine

You bought the same old trip
So innocent you're out of reach (we don't mind the scope)
You bought the same old trip
Sigh of relief inside of a dream (we all lie beyond)
You bought the same old trip

There's a shadow just behind me
Shrouding every step I take
Making every promise empty
Pointing every finger at me

Waiting like a stalking butler
Who upon the finger rests
Murder now, the path called Just because the sun has come

Jesus, won't you f***ing whistle
Something but the past and done?
Jesus, won't you f***ing whistle
Something but the past and done?

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
And why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start this over

I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well

I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
I will work to elevate you
Just enough to bring you down

Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but what's past and done
Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Something but the past and done

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over
Ah, why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over
Why?

I am just a worthless liar
I am just an imbecile
I will only complicate you
Trust in me and fall as well

I will find a center in you
I will chew it up and leave
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me
Trust me

Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start things over
Ah, why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over
Why?

I want what I want
I want what I want
I want what I want
I want what I want

Yeah!
Yo, you were that foundation
Never gonna be another one, no
I followed, so taken
So conditioned, I could never let go
Then sorrow, then sickness
Then the shock when you flip it on me
So hollow, so vicious
So afraid I couldn’t let myself see

That I could never be held
Back or up no, I hold myself
Check the rep, yep, you know mine well
Forget the rest, let them know my hell
There and back, yet my soul ain’t sell
Kept respect up, the best, they fell
Let the rest be the tale they tell
That I was there saying

In these promises broken
Deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie
I can see through
This time I finally let you
Go
Go
Go

Test my will, test my heart
Let me tell you how the odds gonna stack up
Y’all go hard, I go smart
How’s that working out for y’all in the back, huh?
I’ve seen that frustration
Been crossed and lost and told no
And I’ve come back unshaken
Let down and lived and let go

So you can let it be known
I don’t hold back, I hold my own
I can’t be mapped, I can’t be cloned
I can’t C-flat, it ain’t my tone

I can’t fall back, I came too far
Hold myself up and love my scars
Let the bells ring wherever they are
’Cause I was there saying

In these promises broken
Deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie
I can see through
This time I finally let you go
(Go)
(Go)
(Go)
(Go)
(Go)

No, you can tell ’em all now
I don’t back up, I don’t back down
I don’t fold up and I don’t bow
I don’t roll over, don’t know how
I don’t care where the enemies are
Can’t be stopped, all I know, go hard
Won’t forget how I got this far
For every time saying

In these promises broken
Deep below
Each word gets lost in the echo
So one last lie
I can see through
This time I finally let you
(Go)
Go
(Go)
Go
(Go)
Go
(Go)

Go
(Go)
Go
(Go)
Go
(Go)
Go

You!

Why d'they always send the poor?

Barbarisms by Barbaras
With pointed heels
Victorious, victories kneel
For brand new spankin' deals

Marching forward hypocritic
And hypnotic computers
You depend on our protection
Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, oooh

Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time
Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine

Kneeling roses disappearing
Into Moses's dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox
Stealing our intentions

Hangers sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, oooh

Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time
Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine

Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time
Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine

Blast off
It's party time
And we don't live in a fascist nation

Blast off
It's party time
And where the f*** are you?

Where the f*** are you?
Where the f*** are you?

Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?

Kneeling roses disappearing
Into Moses's dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox
Stealing our intentions

Hangers sitting dripped in oil
Crying "Freedom"
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, oooh

Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time
Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine

Everybody's going to the party, have a real good time
Dancing in the desert, blowing up the sun

Where the f*** are you?
Where the f*** are you?

Give me mercy and a minute now
I'm a bleed a little poison out
I'm a cry a little river down
And then I'm setting this whole thing on fire

And I'm burning up the night she died
And I'm putting every last picture aside
I'm gonna say what I need to say
In my very last letter to you

Cause you always made it clear
Said that you'd never be my pain
So here's to you and your bright baby blues
And just a pause to cool the refrain

And you said you were satisfied
And now this body's just waiting to die
And that you missed him sometimes but you said it's alright
It's just a whole lot harder alone

But I wish you knew her now
She's a better side of me now
And I'm doing the best I can
It's what you wanted

And I see you like you were there
And I know just how you'd smile
Mary, you looked just like it was 1930 that night

But here the days will eat you alive
But I won't give in tonight
You said it's not worth my time
And not to regard them

And not to settle just for piece of mind
But I can wait it out all night
If you'll just keep breathing

But Mary I found a sound
And this heart keeps pouring it out
And the glory hasn't come and it's probably gonna fade
Like a tattoo that hides the shame

And the reasons always fade
And the pain gets out some day
So I'm saying my goodbyes to your deep blue eyes
Cause I don't know how to say, "Stay still in the pain.
Stay still in the pain."

But I wish you knew her now
She's a better side of me now
And I'm doing the best I can
It's what you wanted

And I see you like you were there
And I know just how you'd smile
Mary, you looked just like it was 1930 that night

If I recall the last thing you said to me
Before it broke up, before it took you from me
And you said, "I love you more than the stars in the sky
But your name just escapes me tonight."

I'm the man in the box
Buried in my s***
Won't you come and save me, save me

Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you've sewn them shut

I'm the dog who gets beat
Shove my nose in s***
Won't you come and save me, save me

Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
Jesus Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you've sewn them shut

Even with a diagram of my DNA
I leave scientists baffled 'till the end of the day
They try to pick apart my life-style and how I survive
Making money for the boss while I make nickel and dime
And being on time, takin' a punch and doin' my best
Not ever hearing, 'Good job' and staying upset
It doesn't take to much to find the sediments they left behind

Put down the book, put up the walls
I'm never givin' up at all
What's yours is yours
What's mine is yours and I'll mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

Not even with ten men holding me back
Not even with a devious planned attack
Contemplating every move that I play
Willing the bad things all away
Keeping the worry-free happiness philosophy
That's what I let them see when they try to look at me

Put down the book, put up the walls
I'm never givin' up at all
What's yours is yours
What's mine is yours and I'll mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

Don't want out

These issues arise every day
Though you try to turn your head and walk away
Though it leaves you feeling insecure
You're gonna feel your life mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

I know your life is empty
And you hate to face this world alone
So you're searching for an angel
Someone who can make you whole

I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
So just save yourself

(Save yourself)

I know that you've been damaged
Your soul has suffered such abuse
But I am not your savior
I am just as f***ed as you
(I am just as f***ed as you)

I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
So just save yourself

Please don't take pity on me
Please don't take pity on me
Please don't take pity on me
Please don't take pity on me

My life has been a nightmare
My soul is fractured to the bone
If I must be lonely
I think I'd rather be alone
(I think I'd rather be alone)

You cannot save me
You can't even save yourself
I cannot save you
I can't even save myself
Save yourself
So just save yourself

I want to be your dominated love slave
I want to be the one that takes the pain
You can spank me when I do not behave
Smack me in the forehead with a chain

'Cause I love feeling dirty
And I love feeling cheap
And I love it when you hurt me
So drive those staples deep

I want you to slap me and call me naughty
Put a belt sander against my skin
Want to feel pain all over my body
Can't wait to be punished for my sins

I love feeling dirty
And I love feeling cheap
And I love it when you hurt me
So drive those staples deep

I love feeling dirty
And I love feeling cheap
And I love it when you hurt me
So drive... staples?

I am what you fear most
I am what you need
I am what you made me
I am the American Dream

I'm not selling out; I'm buying in
I will not be forgotten
This is my time to shine
I've got the scars to prove it
Only the strong survive
I'm not afraid of dying
Everyone has their time
Life never favored weakness
Welcome to the pride

I am all-American
I am living the dream
I am what you fear most
I am anarchy

I'm not selling out; I'm buying in
I will not be forgotten
This is my time to shine
I've got the scars to prove it
Only the strong survive
I'm not afraid of dying
Everyone has their time
Life never favored weakness
Welcome to the pride

Since the dawn of time
Only the strong have survived
I will not be forgotten

And it's been awhile, since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile, since I first saw you
And it's been awhile, since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile, since I could call you

And everything I can't remember
As f***ed up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I stretched myself beyond my means

And it's been awhile, since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile, since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile, since I've gone and f***ed things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile, but all that s*** seems to disappear when I'm with you

And everything I can't remember
As f***ed up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and f***ed things up again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day

And it's been awhile, since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile, since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile, since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been awhile, but I can still remember just the way you taste

And everything I can't remember
As f***ed up as it all may seem to be I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

And it's been awhile, since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile, since I said I'm sorry

There's a screened-in porch in the front, but not in the back. The back's just got a door and a crepe myrtle bush, and a little old dried-up garden, and some woods way on back. There's a hickory nut tree that covers the whole roof. Sounds like hand grenades hitting the tin roof all the time. There's an old wood floor that's bowed-up just about everywhere. It's got a thin coat of white stuff on it, even though it's a dark wood floor. There's a washing machine right outside the back door. It's a ringer washer, the kind they don't use any more. I got my hand caught it in several times and usually got my arse whipped for it, even though I was the one that got hurt. There's a snake stick, that's what they called it anyway, by the back door. 'Cause if you wanted to go outside, you'd usually need it. Everything's green most of the time, except in the winter when you could see the highway. It's not a leaf on the trees. There's an old rock well where we clean the squirrels. I used to sit out there by that and watch the Carbur girl come down the road.

She didn't have but one dress and that's all she needed. It was kind of red and kind of grey, kind of tore-up and kind of perfect. She was built like a brick s*** house. She had polish on her toenails, it only went about half-way down 'cause they was always tore-up. She used to walk across the side yard right by the well and go stand by the crepe myrtle bush and look in the screen door. She'd usually stand there for about ten minutes, and back then I wasn't sure what she wanted. These days I understand. If I'd have known then what I know now, well, my life might have been pretty different. Well, she was about eight or nine years older than I was when I first started school. I knew there was something. There's something about the south, the air is a lot heavier, and it seems like the women sweat, even when they're not.

I don't know if you've ever heard rain on a tin roof or not, but it's kind of tailor made for love. And one day I was in the house and I was looking back toward the back screen-door and there she was. Standing there for ten minutes. The only thing different this day is that my daddy went back there and talked to her. He told her she looked pretty. I thought the same thing, but there's something about the look in his eye that was a little different than the one I had in mine. And he walked outside and they went past the crepe myrtle bush and past the well and out into the green. And I walked to the back door and I watched for a long time. All I could see was trees. And after a time, I really couldn't count, and they came back out. And my daddy was walking way ahead of her, and she was kind of following, almost running. He acted like he didn't want to have anything to do with her and I was wondering why. Why would you be so happy going in and so down coming out? I don't know. That's what I thought then. He didn't act like she was so pretty any more. Now I think I get it. I think I've got it several times.

Don't let go.
Tonight, where did you go?
Your expression is familiar.

Say your prayers little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
I tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the Sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to Never Never Land

Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of war dreams of liars
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to Never Never Land

Yeah-heah!

Now I lay me down to sleep
(Pray the Lord my soul to keep
(If I die before I wake
(Pray the Lord my soul to take
(
Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head

Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to Never Never Land

Boooooo!

Yeah, yeah!

Yo oh!

We're off to Never Never Land
(Take my hand)

We're off to Never Never Land
(Take my hand)

We're off to Never Never Land

We're off to Never Never Land

We're off to Never Never Land
