oh how bad it's been and how bad it will be oh how thin things must seem it's hard for me to say but one day you'll see me break and water will spring from my face crying how high must we rise to build a memorial to tall to fall because it is the ground oh how bad it's been and how bad it will be oh how thin things must seem i pet every dog i see i say hello to every cat i meet yet i still feel incomplete but i guess that's the way it goes and there's no reason to know why no one will save you when you jump off a boat oh how bad it's been and how bad it will be woe is you and me then the man sitting next to me bought me a drink said excuse me but i think you need this more than me i said thank you sir i surely do and how was your voyage and how 'bout you he said oh how bad it's been and how bad it will be woe is you and me

when you're a cowboy on the plains everyone you meet on the way you either kill or entertain a woman long ago a mother just like yours said there would be no wars if my sons didn't want them haven't you seen all the cameras haven't you noticed more cops i'm scared because no one else around me seems scared i'd buy a gun and be prepared

MLKs 01:49
if what was thought in my apartment was thought out on the street if what was loved in your living room was loved out on the street if what was said in my bed was said out on the street then i'm afraid it would be only you and me so i'll stay where you can see will you do the same for me if what was seen in the movie was seen out on the street if what was read in the book was read out on the street if you had heard what they were saying the martin luther kings then you would already know that everyone can come but that i want to sit by you do you wanna stand by me

this girl taught me a dance called the i don't care she said to me it's easy i swear stand alone over there and watch everyone else around you care although i know any eyes i make or smile that she may see i'll never in return receive as long as she's with him and not me that girl taught me a lousy dance i can't say that it helped me my heart done hurt from all that work i think i'll draw a waterfall bath and hold my breath see how close i can get to death without leaving i know there's somewhere else that we go so if i ever come to or if i ever go forth let me know if you ever see my ghost i'm a ghost on a saturday night doing things i never did in life no use for money or food i only want to dance with you but i ain't dead yet so i guess i can have this dance and you can hold my hand and if i ever come to or if i ever go forth let me know if you ever see my ghost

it's mine to opine there is no they then who was killed yesterday but if there's no they then who can i say is the enemy there appears to be that there's no such thing if every war's been paid for on both sides by the same guys ask yourself why do i have to fight tv's not important neither are sports nor your car this stuff's not important at all ask yourself why do i always wanna buy learn from one to teach another you're a failure if the one you teach isn't better but if you never learn then it doesn't matter if you never learn that there is no they

Poem Party 01:52
she bowed to what was happening i felt like bowing so we both did and the people knew they were being bowed to and so did the room even the dog frankie had an idea and everything was cool "here's to will you look at them skies and all that's under especially you guys"
10.
i have decided to turn a tune or two i'll try not to sound like you but being honest to yourself can be a lie to someone else let's go out and go steal a meal i know you're scared but there's no food here sometimes staying alive yourself means the death of someone else i locked my front door but she still got in i must be in love again
11.
Most Things 01:36
it's really hard most things are it's really tough i know it sucks but just cause you stopped doesn't mean that you are clean i'm doin' fine that's a lie i wanna die another lie just cause you stopped doesn't change the way things are well what about everyone else you can only be yourself just cause you stopped don't expect any help when your brother's way down low and your sister was never born you can blame someone else or get better by yourself
12.
to come under heavy need of another i wonder i wonder whether the wiser need not bother i'm a man you've never known please understand it's my job to write songs and allow me to do whatever i want i'm a man you've never known and the days when i'm down and i'm shaving just for fun i think to myself if only yellow knew how blue red was i'm a man you've never known (so until we meet please treat me as so)

Then 02:10
then one day everything changed while looking at a picture in a magazine didn't have a smile how i looked so mean so i acted like i felt and i showed some teeth decided right there that's what you ought to see then one day something changed always been proud of doing what's right always thought your government was on the same side then they blew up some buildings in your new york city and with it your trust and what you thought was right then one day everything changed while listening to someone that you always have you notice something you never thought was bad you listen a little closer hear what's really being said and all of a sudden it's so clear in your head then one day everything changed and if that wasn't enough to have on your mind all of a sudden someone pretty says hi you give 'em you heart and anything else they want come to find out they're really not what you thought you might not want something to change if you got three give two to someone else if you got two give the other to a mouse and if you got one well give that one away teach that to your children instead of everything's okay

no amount of talk could cover up what i had hiding in my truck oh baby it will bring you down no i ain't sorry for what i did cause for them it's more of a business than a punishment now i can't do what i once did cause don't you know it will show up in my piss oh baby how it will bring you down
16.
i got but i also dealt health and death and all the rest think of all the rest i'll get how i know this i don't know how the hum and the ring are killing me from the electronic means of doing things the room held just enough of what it held to smell how it smelled how i know this i don't know how
