WHAT YOU WANNA DO
By Donald Fisher, Alex Vojdani, Matt Kronish
Hope you can open the door way inside my brain and make me see everything in a way i could sing.
Cause day after day seems the same i think im looking for a change something new to come take me away.
Oh my this is so right.
Now how are you gonna do what you wanna do and say what you mean no complaints do what you wanna do.
And help me to learn how to deal. Deal with all of it and then we'll be friends till the end.
Oh my this is so right.
ORIGINAL SIN
By Alex Vojdani
Someday you'll say why'd i go away
I never mean to
I never mean to lie
But i still do it to you
I still do dont i?
But it doesnt make a difference to us
No it doesnt make a difference when it comes to us
Because some day you'll say why'd i go away
Long time we fall asleep we recall
Time that we had before things went so bad
I still follow
There are things you do
And there are things you dont
When it comes to love you should know what you want
but it doesnt make a difference to us
no it doesnt make difference when it comes us
thoughts mean nothing
these thoughts mean nothing
And someday you'll say why'd i go away
Long time we fall asleep we recall
Time that we had before things went so bad
I still follow
SKINNY BONES JONES
By Alex Vojdani
How can things be different now that everything has changed?
Watching her live her life surely helped him turn the page.
You deserve a big house and your heart deserves a cage.
Dying of old age. Feeding time is needing he wont be touched or seen and lust has made him say some things that he just didnt mean it sleeping makes him wonder it must be for the weak. They dont know nothing. They dont know nothing.
Hey love hey love love me love me
Hunger hunger so hungry so feed me
Slumber slumber so sleepy dont keep me
I used to never be hungry for
The way you used to say that you love me more
And anybody there was before
Never made you feel more than me
Sleeping makes him wonder, he must ask why
It takes a little more than muscle to close his eyes
In the daylight it lacks surprise
He knows they'll never be as bad as she
whoa whoa the beat goes...
To see your thoughts
My vision and surroundings
Ive got some friends who sing songs
Ill gather them around me
and if you want to heal me then leave me where you found me.
on the ground please. on the ground please.
Hey love hey love love me love me
Hunger hunger so hungry so feed me
Slumber slumber so sleepy dont keep me
whoa whoa the beat goes...
BAG OF TRICKS
By Donald Fisher
I look straight ahead to see the future instead of peering into the past and then
collecting dust. Someone once said that where there’s money there’s bread, and
when it’s time to rise that you don’t rust instead.
Lunatics, well they love politics. Medicine was made for college kids. I know I’m not
a bag of tricks…I know.
And don’t you forget that when this all turns to debt and the sun starts to set on
your charity case, cuz life is a bet, you know you give and you get, you know you
can’t be upset when you’re losing the race.
FIBBER
By Alex Vojdani
Could you kindly ask? your too defensive.
So obsessed, your past suggesting.
Save some for the rest. Im not trying to lecture.
This is not a test, but you just missed the gesture.
Come again?
Everybody wants to turn back time.
But im a fibber im a ghost
to who it concerned the most.
Its exactly how it sounds.
Except for all that we left out at the end of the day.
They said:
How could YOU forget what YOU put behind YOU?
Could you help to pay the rent?
Not so independent are you?
Still on course? Have you carved a pathway?
Or have they taken you by force?
and introduced you to another man you dont endorse.
Have you been talking to your mother or brother?
Let nature take its course reduced to living out the rest of this life as a chore.
Well not anymore.
Everybody wants to turn back time.
My body wants another try.
Forgive Me First
By Matt Kronish
Maybe I'm reaching, but all I ever hear now correlates to you and me
Don't call it preaching, babe if you're the choir maybe you could set me free
Sing far from churches, tho I've never been I know what they all want to say
"When this life hurts it's a sin to try and fight", you'll thank them on a distant day
But we know better, working for no man if he doesn't promise pay
Rapture and then Glory, when you get to heaven maybe you won't want to stay
Cuz it's difficult to live with - perfect in every way
I'll admit the holy ghost is not a part of me
Cuz I split, now I know he don't want no part of me
And I know he won't forgive me first
So "I'm sorry, and I never meant to hurt.
I'm sorry, and I never meant one word."
I take up serpents and drinking my salvation, waiting for the blessed to come
I don't think it's Jesus, a worldly companion will show me that my life has begun
But she ain't surfaced so I'll be a little fisherman, live where the salmon run
I know my purpose - I make friends with the moon because someone's got to welcome the sun
Say it's difficult to live with, hoping it will soon be done
HERE GOES NOTHING
By Alex Vojdani
I had been dreaming that your name was jeanie.
Late in the evening in the garden of eden we would meet.
And i'd realize in the morning light. Too late.
That i'm much worse off than i was last night
Open your eyes
To a place where you can make up your mind.
I didnt notice you were in line next to me
and how many more days or weeks will it take
before the robots think or learn to love?
Just the way you ladies have been dreaming of...
When will all the pushes start to turn to shoves?
They shouldve known..
Shoulda coulda woulda stayed at home
they shoulda played it to a metronome
or a beat.
SHOULD
By Alex Vojdani
Waiting around waiting around waiting around waiting around.
The more you waited around...................I wasnt waiting around.
.......................................................................I wasnt waiting around.
.......................................................................I wasnt waiting around.
Waiting around waiting around waiting around waiting around.
Yea he said brother brother dont you touch
it takes time, but not mine, I aint got another minute
for ya i adore ya and i dont mean to ignore your love
She said lover lover dont you touch
it takes time, but not mine, i aint got another minute
for her i adore her and i dont mean to ignore her love
Will ambition give way to reason today?
it goes away from here. but it comes back round again.
The more you waited around...................I wasnt waiting around.
.......................................................................I wasnt waiting around.
.......................................................................I wasnt waiting around.
Choose or lose your way its your fate to handle it.
Choose or lose your fate its your way to handle it.
If you should give up.
Dont give up.
Dont give up on that stuff you love.
Dont give up cause its what you love.
If you really loved all that stuff you love
You should never give up on that stuff you love
HERO'S DOSE
By Alex Vojdani
I love you all but i just hate all of this.
Who said this would be quick? Painless?
Dont fuck with me. Me and my silly dreams.
I dont think you know what it really meant to me.
But oh... ya know, its all still good.
And I wait for you to move inside of my head.
Ill wait for you until im dead.
And are you caught between the trends?
Are you off of the deep end?
Get over it. You get over yourself.
Before you have nobody else.
To go to Santa Monica with your all by yourself.
They're done with all of it and you can go to hell.
Well its all for the best. Well we'll see soon enough.
Aw you think your depressed when you dont even know who your dealing with.
YEA.
Living Proof
By Matt Kronish
Living proof is here
It made me see the truth
But I couldn't tell it to you
Anchored all these years
Asleep in the shipyard of your mind
How lucky you happened to find
A pulse that you can count on
A vein that you will see
Tho not exclusively
And it knows it
Cant keep up with the times
Theres not enough slack to cut back on a mountain of rhymes
And since you pulled me off the block
Return the favor
I could open up the door anytime you knock
Cuz I know where I'll be when you come around
We traveled through the night
Just to be there in the day
But it couldn't help anyway
Flowers expose their faces
Only to the sun
He's not the only one
And he knows it
Cant keep up with the times
Theres not enough slack to cut back on a mountain of rhymes
And since you pulled me off the block
Return the favor
I could open up the door anytime you knock
Cuz I know where I'll be when you come around
Middle of the road
Try to left or right it when I fight it with the weapons I stow
Under the dash or in the trunk
It doesn't matter
Cuz the car won't work except the lights in front
So I know where I'll be when you come around
LULL
By Alex Vojdani
Stiff as a board. Light as a feather.
You are light as a feather. You are stiff as a board.
Is there any reason? I just call them like i see them.
Its the timing of the season, for to love him, and then to leave him.
Is it wrong to be wrong? Its alright to be right all along. Sing a song.
Wanna fight? Spend the night?
What I mean to say is
that i can never seem to say
what i mean to say is
that i can never seem to say
what i mean to say anymore.
Is it any better when your older?
isnt it better? Isnt it brighter?
...its alright. yea, but lately its been a lull.
And is it any better now?
Do you love her?
would you let her?
Just let her go. Let her go.
Be a ho, oh no...
So painful, you said it. Fell in love just to regret it.
In the end if im your friend its for pretend.
Its just for pretend.
Some times some people
just have to realize that life just isnt fair
and other times other people
just dont and no one cares
that sometimes some people
just have to realize that life just isnt fair
and other times other people
just dont and no one cares about them anymore.
The Peace Prize
By Matt Kronish
The heavy wind, heated by the sun
It's rising up
And I've been told, we got to move away
We're staying here
All's gone the way of the wind
They stare at you, and they point at me when
I step outside
And the kids rely on nothing but themselves
And even then
All's gone the way of the wind
Now listen baby, we got to think things thru
Quietly
There's no getting even, not even desperately
Think of me
