THE MEANING OF LIFE

On the way
Trying to get where I’d like to stay
I’m always feeling steered away
By someone trying to tell me
what to say and do
I don’t want it
I gotta find my own way
I gotta go make my own mistakes
Sorry man for feelings
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Open wide and they’ll shove in
Their meaning of life
Oh yeah, oh yeah
But not for me I’ll do it on my own
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Open wide and swallow their meaning of life
I can’t make it work your way
Thanks but no thanks
By the way
I know your path has been tried and so
It may seem like the way to go
Me, I’d rather be found
Trying something new
And the bottom line
In all of this seems to say
There’s no right and wrong way
Sorry if I don’t feel like
Living the way you do

MOTA

Mota !
Everay day, well it’s the same
That bong that’s on the table starts to call
My name
I take a hit and zone out again
I’ll be paranoid and hungryby a quarter to ten
Watching reruns on the my TV
I’m aughing off my ass at three’s company
I don’t know if I’m understood
But hearing Jimmy Buffett never soundes so good
Tour memory’s gone and so is your life (your life)
Mota boy
But losing out just never felt so right
Your enemy’s you and so is your life (your life)
Mota boy
But losing out might feel okay all night
Mota !
I’m driving down to the barrio
Going 15 miles an hour cause I’m already stoned
Give the guy a twenty and wait in the car
He tosses me a baggie then he runs real far
I take a hit but it smells like a clove
Oh fuck I got a baggie of oregano
This ritual is destroying me
But I guess it could be worse
It could be methedrine
Your memory’s gone and so is your life (your life)
Mota boy
But losing out just never felt so right
Your enemy’s you and your couch is your life (your life)
Mota boy
But losing out might take
losing out might take you all the night 
Mota !
Losing out might feel okay all night
Yeah losing out might feel okay all life

ME AND MY OLD LADY

Me & my old lady
Lay in bed all day
And when I say I love her
Well she rolls the other way
But really she don’t mean it
Everything she says
Still if I believe in love
There is nothing wrong
The is nothing wrong with my head
Me & my old lady
Sit and sip on wine
And when she says she loves me
Well I say that love is blind
But really I don’t mean it
Everything I say
Still I she believe in love
There is nothing wrong
The is nothing wrong with her head
So what if we’re making a scene now
You know she don’t give a shit
When she’s pawin’ and grabbin’ on me now
You know I don’t mind a bit
It’s all good and we ain’t gonna change now
The world is unaware
So if you want go on and stare
Cause we don’t care
She ain’t no ball and chain
Me & my old lady
Suck each other dry
And when in that position
I’m the luckiest man alive
Quenching our libidos
Passing time away
Now that we believe in love
There is nothing wrong
There is nothing wrong in our head

LEAVE IT BEHIND

Rage burns can’t push it aside now
Can’t forgive this grudge is alive now
All the rage eats your up inside
Can you leave it behind
What a surprise
You’re fucked with again yeah
It’s a way of life you need to get over
All the rage just eats you alive
Can you leave it behind
I don’t know where it’ll end
The sun has set
And I can’t be friends
I don’t know if I can forgive
The day is long
But you were so dead wrong

GONE AWAY

Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can’t deal it so unfair
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven’s so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you’ve gone away
Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and hail marys
Can’t bring back what’s taken from me
I reached to the sky
And called out your name
And if could trade
I would
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven’s so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you’ve gone away

I CHOOSE

Look at me I’m fallin’ off
of a cliff now
I can still hear my mama yelling no, no, no, ...
But the words mean nothing
Can’t catch up to me now
And the view is so beautyful
All the way down
When I was a little boy
Suckin’ juice from a bottle
Believing my perceptions were oh so real
But I didn’t know nothing
Still knowing nothing
Was just enough for me
To know the way I feel
This is life
What a fucked up thing we do
What a nightmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose
Look at me I’m swollen
Like a bananafish now
I’m never gonna make it out of my hole
But I keep on laughing
Doesn’t really matter
There is dozens of reasons
For explaining my soul
When I was a teenager
Sucking booze with the vatos
Discussing who was gonna live to be 21
They said they wouldn’t make it
They didn’t make it
We’re all naked
When the day is said and done
This is life
What a fucked up thing we do
What a nightmare come true
Or a playground if we choose
And I choose
Don’t know who made this all come true
But now while you’re here
You just gotta do
What you gotta do
Now if I wasn’t such a weenie
Do you thing you’d still love me
Pretending I’m an airplane
On the livingroom floor
But like a lovely generator
You stand right by me
And if words were wisdom
I’d be talking even more
So I keep on falling
And I looking back above me
Watching as my mama becomes a little dot
Know I’m like Deniro
I’m amarillo
And I’ll never know
When I hit the ground

INDEX

ALL I WANT

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Day after day
Your homelife's a wreck
The powers that be just breathe down your neck
You get no respect
You get no relief
You gotta speak up and yell out your peace

Chorus:

So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living
To stay alive
Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want to be controlled
That's all I want
All I want
All I want
All I want

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

How many times is it gonna take
Till someone around you hears what you say
You try being cool
You feel like a lie
You've played by their rules
Now it's their turn to try

Chorus

I've said it before
I'll say it again
If you could just listen
then it might make sense

Chorus

WAY DOWN THE LINE

Nothing changes cause it’s all the same
The world you get’s the one you give away
It all just happen again
Way down the line
There is a chain that’s never broken
You know the story it’s sad but true
An angry man gets drunk and beats his kids
The same old way his drunken father did
What comes around well it goes around
Nothing changes cause it’s all the same
The world you get’s the one you give away
It all just happen again
Way down the line
At 17 Shannon is pregnant
As young as her mom when she had her
Her kid is never gonna have a dad
The same old way that Shannon never had
What comes around well it goes around
Nothing changes cause it’s all the same
The world you get’s the one you give away
It all just happen again
Way down the line
And all the things you learn when you’re a kid
You’ll fuck up just like your parents did
It all just happen again
Way down the line
And welfare moms have kids on welfare
And fat parents they have fat kids too
You know it’s never gonna end
The same old cycle’s gonna start again
What comes around well it goes around

DON"T PICK IT UP

I saw a little kid
As he walked around
He picked a candy bar up
Off the ground
He chowed about an half
Then his face turned blue
Turned out that candybar was doogy-doo
Don’t pick it up I say
Don’t pick it up I say
You’re gonna be bummed that you went that way
You’re out ther makin’bacon
No scrutiny
You mess around too much
And you got VD
You know you never think
And you’re sore today
You’re gonna take it back to California
Don’t pick it up I say
Unless you can throw it away
Don’t pick it up I say
You’re gonna be bummed that you went that way
My friend was kinda hurtin’
For a girl to try
He saw one that looked like Pat
On saturday night live
I had a pair of thingies
But a mustache too
Not clearly male nor female
So now what to do
Don’t pick it up I say
Unless you can throw it away
Don’t pick it up I say
You’re gonna be bummed that you went that way

INDEX

AMAZED

Sometimes I think I’m gonna drown
Cause everyone around’s so hollow
I’m alone
Sometimes I think I’m going down
But no one makes a sound
They follow
And I’m alone
Yeah if I make it I’d be amazed
Just to see it waiting
And if I make it I’m still alone
No more hope for better days
But if I could change
Then I’d really be amazed
And when you know you can’t relate
To one more shiny face
Your heart breaks
No one cares
And whan you know you can’t go on
Cause everything is wrong
Your heart breaks
But no one’s there

INDEX

CHANGE THE WORLD

I see the way the salesmen stare into the sun
I stood and watched them as they fell off one by one
And everyone’s so blind
They’re not to help mankind
Reach into your bag of tricks and pull another one
You don’t want to change the world
Like you say
You’re in it for yourself
No one else
You’re ready
Saving yourself
You’re gonna change the world
You’re ready
Saving yourself You’re gonna change the world 
Now when the day is set
They’ll line up all
The same
And those that need the most will never get
Or again
The ones you call your friends
Are failing you again
Reach into your bag of tricks and make it go away
You don’t want to change the world
Like you say
You’re in it for yourself
No one else
You’re ready
Saving yourself
You’re gonna change the world
You’re ready
Saving yourself
You’re gonna change the world
And since you ain’t what you say
Then just go away
Cause some don’t lie
Go on now they won’t tell
Go on now and save yourself
