When the Time Comes 04:49
lyrics
buy track
The ashes have yet to be scattered And the dirt, the dirt is still wet Your friends and family have not gathered Not ready to bury you yet But as for me I already miss you I still hear thunder in your drums But worry not I won't be long I will see you soon When the time comes When the time comes Your body has yet to turn to leather And your soul is still in your chest There may be a little twinkle in your eye Resisting your eternal rest I hear your laughter in my bed at night I hear you breathing in my ear If I stare long enough in the darkness Maybe you will reappear

Lollygagger 04:12
lyrics
buy track
Am I lying or am I laying Well I'm too lazy to care I'm a slacker, a ne'er do well I don't even bother to comb my hair Let me slumber like a winter bear La, la, la, lollygagger La, la, la, lollygagger Well I am high, high as kite Yeah, I am stoned each and every day I eat Doritos and play Battlefield One Much to my parent's dismay I ain't exactly Hemingway Well the world is dying all around me And there ain't nothing I can do I'll stay in my basement and jack myself off Until all the hatin' is through And if you need my help, well, no thank you

Who Will Weep for Me? 04:58
lyrics
buy track
I lay down in a field of linen There's no end now There is no beginnin' Now I'm floating way above the trees Won't you tell me If'n you please Who will weep for me I see a kingdom way above the sky Everyone is happy and so am I I see my mom and I see my dad Still one small thing it makes me sad Who will weep for me There is Jesus sitting under a tree And there's John Lennon he's saying hi to me I keep wonderin' if I'm out of my mind And what about the people that I left behind Who will weep for me

This Is the Way We Make Our Peace 05:36
lyrics
buy track
We go out of our way to mess up this world We do all that we can to wreck our good deal We throw our trash in the ocean We throw our caution to the wind We throw it all away Grind it under our wheel And then we tell ourselves That we are good at hear, good at heart This is the way we make our peace Nevermore, we say And never again This is the way we make our peace Forever and ever Forever amen We make a whole lotta noise About how much we all care But it don't mean nothing If we don't follow through We believe we're so damn smart We believe know all the answers But what do we know When we don't know what's true And still we tell ourselves We can get it together Get it together We like the way that we look When we look at ourselves And we look at ourselves Nearly all of the time But we don't wanna see What we don't wanna see It's a world of hate It is a world of crime And still we tell ourselves We will do the right thing Do the right thing

My Greatest Hate of All 05:17
lyrics
buy track
I can recall the first time I saw you And I knew it then that you'd be big trouble I told myself that I could look past it But I guess that I could just not look past it You stand so straight and so tall You are my greatest hate of all I knew that you were pretty damn tricky You kept friends close and your enemies closer People said I should be ready for the worst And I guess that I should've kept that in mind And I will hate you Till the end of days And I will hate you And your hateful ways You make it seem like nothing is different None of it happened at least in your mind But I beg to differ and I'm not forgetting One day I'll tell you just how I feel

The Deal of a Lifetime 04:58
lyrics
buy track
This is not the way it was supposed to be And this is not the way I became my own enemy Well I lived the life of someone else As if I were some kind of rolling stone And I begged and stole and carried on Until I'd found myself all alone This is not the way it was gonna turn out And this is not the thing my life was gonna be about But I jerked around for so many years Until I'd just plum run out of gas And I'd burned down all my bridges Till there were no bridges left for me to pass I had the best deal in the world And it stared me right there in the face I had the best deal in the world The kind that nothing can replace It was the deal of a lifetime The deal of a lifetime It was the deal of a lifetime Nothing better This is not the way I thought it would end And this is not the way that I would recommend Well I took myself out to the brink And then I went down that old slippery slope Yeah I threw myself off of the edge And realized that I'd run out of rope This is not the life that I would have planned And this is not the life living in this wasteland Well I made me lot of stories And I told myself that it would all work out But looking back I can safely say That I should've gone another route

I Will Never Forgive You 05:25
lyrics
buy track
Come over here you son of a bitch I got something to tell to you You done me wrong so many times My bad, I fell for you Looking back what was I thinking Must have been out of my mind I mistook you for a gentle soul Someone loving and kind For this and that and so much other stuff I will never forgive you I will never forgive you Just want you to know that I've had enough And I will never forgive you I will never forgive you Come over here and look me in the face Tell me it wasn't all a lie I want to hear you didn't cheat on me Tell me you weren't with some other guy Tell me you did it at your office And the back seat of his car Did you do it the other night When I was waiting for you at the bar After all that we've been through It breaks my heart How could you do it How could you tear us apart I know you're selfish I know what you did There are some things That you just can't keep hid See you later Maybe in another life I'm sure you'll happy Being someone else's wife

The Test of Reason 04:40
lyrics
buy track
Nothing is true unless you can prove it Unless you can prove it Again and again No, nothing is true unless it can be tested With results you can defend It's gotta stand up to the test of reason Or it don't mean nothing Nothing at all It's gotta stand up to the test of reason For it to stick around For the long haul Don't let no one tell ya Let no one tell ya That they got the answer, the answer to it all They just want your money and they want your devotion It's just so much hooey They got so much gall I ain't no genius No I ain't no Einstein But still I know when I am taken for a ride Don't trust no wizards Or the man behind the curtain He will only trick you He will always hide

Last Night 03:33
lyrics
buy track
Woke up it was two a.m. Laid there in a pool of mayhem My chest it felt so tight I was hot as anthracite The hell I went through last night Woke you out of your sleep Told me to go and count sheep I tried with all my might To do what's pleasing in your sight The hell I went through last night Thoughts swirl around my head They fill me up with such dread Make me wish I was dead Stayed up all night long Come morning I wrote this song Don't think I can shine a light Of how my soul took flight The hell I went through last night

No Time Like Now 04:48
lyrics
buy track
Days roll along One into the other All the time in the world, it seems The next thing you know There's one less day And slightly taller weeds No time like now No time like now No time like now Better do it Days roll along Like a marble down a slide Nothing stops till it hits the end You hold on while you can But your fingers aren't strong Strong enough to keep you from crashing Better get on with it If you're gonna get on with it Better make peace with it If you can make peace with it Days roll along With the force of a river That is rushing its way to the sea And you're carried along Surviving just barely Until you can't survive no more

Gang's All Here 04:48
lyrics
buy track
Well I had a party in my dreams And all the old gang was there There was Daphne doing shots of whiskey And Danny with his real cool hair Well Bob he put on old his Fender And Tom was over on his kit And Jeffrey he picked up his Rickenbacker bass And mom and dad they pitched a fit They pitched a fit Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah The gang's all here Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah The gang's all here Bring the good cheer Well the party went for days and days And everyone got real stoned The house it spun like a crazy carousel Till the neighbors said the cops were phoned But that just made Bob play louder And Tom banged harder on his snare And Jeff he churned out a mean bass line What the fuck did we give a care We didn't care We really dug each other We were partners in crime Yeah we really dug each other We had a killer good time Well this party it came to end And we all felt pretty wasted We reveled in our debauchery And all the good times that we had tasted Well Bob packed up his trusty Fender And Tom took down his old drums And Jeff unplugged his bass guitar Yeah that dream for me it still hums It still hums

Peace Out 05:07
lyrics
buy track
I occupy a very small place Somewhere at the back of the human race I do my work then go to bed Read a book then rest my head Peace out, peace out Love and kisses, love and kisses Sincerely, me I write my songs every day But the world doesn't sing 'em People think I toss them off As if I knew how to fling 'em Maybe in a better world I would find my niche Maybe in a better world I'd be famous and rich Who really cares if pack it all in Who really cares if I bitch and moan But who really cares who really cares In this world we are all alone
