Live at The Gallery...
fuck the government
still dropping bombs in the middle east
and ongoing hypocrisy
it's not as good as some people say
some soldiers will die today
some soldiers will die today
so come along and sing a protest song
come with me and just sing along
fuck the government
people hang their flags right side up
with a government so corrupt
over our eyes the wool they pull
overlooked brainwashing in school
the president has been impeached
this is the new history we teach
we're run by a monarchy
a corporation oligopoly
this is not a democracy
so hang your flags upside down
wipe away your smile, wear a frown
express disgust because you can
until that freedom is banned
don't give away your freedom to the man
redneck cracker
i wish i was a redneck cracker
so i could be like shawn
and if i was a redneck cracker
i would sit out on  my lawn
under a tree and have a smoke
and drink a couple of beers
and if i was a redneck cracker
i wouldn't want you motherfuckers here
i wish i was a redneck cracker
oh yeah, that would be the life
and if i was a redneck cracker
i would probably have a wife
and two kids and a dog
and a white picket fence
and if i was a redneck cracker
i'd support national defenseand if i was a redneck cracker
i'd play country all day  long
and if i was a redneck cracker
i would hate this fucking song
and all you punks with  yellow hair,
big pants, and titty rings
and if i wasnnt such a slacker
i would sit outside and sing
lies and truth
We're in a time of sex and drugs
and rock n roll music
and all the ways that we use them
to smash  rebel disrupt inform
and do something alarming
instead of just conforming
and a government of lies
wants us all to be the same
they use the media to tame
the propaganda issued to all
just to make us sick
so i have to be awake and quick
i can enlighten with a SCREAM
and open some eyes
i will never tell you lies
and if the bullshit in the air
cannot be  smelled all around

lies and truth seem like the same sound
the people walk around with smiles on their faces
that keep them  numb to society
and all its disgraces
and it bonds them to a culture
that seems to tell  me
as long as you live here
you can never be free
you can never be free
the song i wrote about you
flowers and birds in the city
and all the girls are looking so pretty
such a beautiful day

the sun is orange and red
i've got a beatles' song
running through my head
i have to admit it's getting
better every day
everything's gonna be okay

i remember when we used to
walk in the sun
and in the dark we learned
that we loved everyone
and how life is so
completely meaningless
but there's still some joy
if it's just one little kiss

it's hard to  miss somebody you  love
when they have to  go away

i'm walking around my hometown
feels like i'm the only person around
smoked a cigarette and thought
what i'd say
when i see her again someday
we'll talk about our lives
and we'll have a beer
and over that we'll decide
it's great that we're both here
i wish you were here
got a call on the telephone
so i dragged my ass out of bed
tripped over all the shit on the floor
should have cleaned it up last night instead
didn't know who it was at first
all the hanging drugs caused my head to hurt
it was a girl who's been on my mind all the time
while i'm walking talking working or creating a rhyme

when i recognized her i instantly smiled
i'd been waiting for her call
she said
i love you, i miss you, i wish you were here

talked for awhile about this thing and that
it didn't really matter where the dialogue sat
we were just glad to know we were alive


interesting situation

i'm kinda in an interesting situation
i'm in love with a woman in irelan
and this woman she loves me so
she told me that so i would know
that i can not be just a normal guy
somebody with an ordinary kind of life
i just have to be me while i'm waiting for her


our way home

struggling through life every day
just trying to find a better way
and you've got different things on your mind
that's all because you're one of a kind
you've got to do the best you can
whether you're a woman or a man
go out and find something to start
or find a love deep within your heart
cause we all need to love to
take advantage of this life

and one day the earth said to me
everything is born to be free
the squirrels and the trees and you and me
can live together in harmony
and if people would just gather around
there's something to be found
in the earth and the sky and everyone
it already has begun

walking down the street i see you
we'll have to get together soon
and share the feelings we've got inside
there's just some stuff i can't hide
or we could just play a guitar
and sing about what and who we are
i'll sing about me and you sing about you
there'll be a smile when we're through

and the stars in the sky will
help us find our way home


the jimmy buffet show

cruisin down 294 goin to the jimmy buffet show
man its nice to see you there again
police pulled me side of the road
on the way to the jimmy buffet show

they had a party in the parking lot
in the parking lot of the jimmy buffet show
don pepe made the burritos dave and dave made the hamburgers
in the parking lot of the jimmy buffet show

we sang about a brown eyed girl sang about margaritaville
margaritaville at the jimmy buffet show
we smoked a little bit of marijuana we drank a little bit of alcohol
we did it all at the jimmy buffet show


live till you die

  i remember this time in my life
i was searching for a gun or maybe a knife
don't believe in faith or god and such
cause god has taken away too much
people say that life's a bitch and then you die
i'd rather live my life than kiss her good-bye
so i met this girl and i kissed her goodnight
i'm gonna live till i die

thought about suicide once or twice
heard that being dead could be kinda nice
as you can see i never could go through with it
i didn't have the balls to actually do it
i'm gonna live till i die

drove to chicago and we put the top down
the most insane people in the whole fucking town
she brought along some tea and i sang her a rhyme
i must confess i had an excellent time
we used up everything that she had in her pouch
she took me home and we chilled out on the couch
dream with the fishes playing on the tv set
stayed for some orange juice and a cigarette


another summer jam
a.k.a. the janitor song
  i'm just a janitor
from a suburban town
i get into my car
and put the top down
i get off of work
and it's to home i fly
we go out at night
and we get real high

go back to my bed and go to sleep
repeat this day at least five times a week
my life ain't all that bad you see
i'm just a janitor and that's ok with me

i get up  
go to work
get high and
go to bed

we go down to the beach
and just sit in the sand
smoke some camel cigarettes
and we'd just sit there and jam
some people sell out
they call others fags
it's allot easier to sell out
than it is to burn the flag

chug shitty beer and they ain't got no class
don't like me but they can kiss my ass
my life ain't all that bad you see
i'm just a janitor and that's ok with me
