Troubadourous Maximus

Tooling down that ‘ole highway
Looking for some words to say
Listenin’ to the radio
Looking for some place to go

Watching some young faceless punk
Mind filled with useless junk
Letting go with reckless aim
Watching as we feel no pain

Let me go where the weather is dry
Not a rain cloud in the sky
Surrounded by the sounds of day
Playing but for not much pay

We’re Troubadorous Maximus
We love the music, not the buck
We’re Troubadorous Maximus
Please listen Smiley Dufus

We’re Troubadorous Maximus
It’s the silver stage or bust
We’re Troubadorous Maximus
Spitting words, most glorious

Guitar Solo

Odd musical interlude

We are the Troubadorous Maximus
Are tunes make as much sense as mush
We are the Troubadorous Maximus
Listen to our enlightened dogma

---I am higher in my mind, than the sky---
As I fly, touch the sun
Blinded by the light & the heat
Scorched I carry a torch
Golden hued & used by my heart, abused
by myself, confused
Still, I soar ever closer
 

Don't Make Our Love Like A Drive By Shooting

Don't Make Our Love Like A Drive By Shooting
Don't make me feel, like your fast food man

I know that your gun. is overloaded
I know you feel, downright inside out

I'll find my tears, at the bottom of a bottle
Your whiskey colored hair, is on my mind

I'd give away my truck, before I'd lose your love
But don't you go. when the dawns arising

I've got the long arm of the law. scratching my back
Tell me one more time, why you can't be mine

My best friends wife, is your current title
I'll make you mine, with my big shotgun

Lord knows this country song, is as sad as an onion
So buy my record & cry with me
 

Punk

Society has done me wrong, I try to live by my own rules
I have to comply with a bunch of fools
I want to live up in a tree, however, my groin keeps meeting your knee

Society has done me wrong, social structure is modeled by broken statues
Social injustices, I'm labeled by tattoos
If I want to drink & drive, you better look out, you better dive

Society has done me wrong, I feel choked when I wear a tie
I'm claustrophobic when I wanna die
Why go to work to support a car, When I feel more comfortable in a bar

BRIDGE

Big people, little people, mindless feeble, little gerbils
Spin that wheel, shuck that bail,
follow mindlessly, follow aimlessly, follow...., follow me.

SOLO

Society has done me wrong, THEY confiscated my every bong
Now I'm behind bars as broke as a skunk,
THEY are telling me I am a PUNK

SPOKEN

A punk, I've never been so humiliated in my life. All I wanna do is make a few bucks, So I can pay my bills. Have a little fun escaping from THOSE PEOPLE who keep getting in my way. I can't believe this stuff is illegal, who needs to be able to think clearly, be healthy, productive in this STINKING society, who ever thinks of me & my needs. Hey, what was I talking about, o' forget it, must not have been important.
 

Internet Interruptus

Got my eyes glued to the screed, I'm feeling mighty serene
Although constant interruptions by, job, kids, food, etc.

Interconnections, interface, internet interruptus
Party with my finger friends x3

I can't wait x3, to get back to my cyberlife
Maybe I'll find a cyberwife

SOLO & MUSICAL MISCHIEF

Micro anomaly, keyboard concepts in macro
Soft ware, hard drive, ram, rom, dat.

My friends come over to play, they are just a modem away.
Chat room, chit room, halloween costume identity

Dancing on the net, I know how to get where I get
Techno be bop tango, retro chiapet Mango

Party with my finger friends x3

I can't wait x3, to get back to my cyber life
Maybe I'll find me a cyberwife
ETC.
 

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS

CHORUS
Opportunity knocks (knock knock) x2

Why don't you answer the door (knock knock)
Why don't you run away (knock knock)
Can you look a gift horse in the mouth (knock knock)
Can you turn down a million bucks (knock knock)

If you turn it away your nuts (knock knock)
If you drive it, you've lost it (knock knock)
temporary is the option
temporary is the gain

BRIDGE

Don't you want to be successful, don't you want to come out & play
How do you look at the big picture, is your cup 1/2 full or 1/2 empty.

Now the time is slipping by fast (tick tock)
Now the clock is skipping a beat (tick tock)
Do you want it
Why don't you take it

Complaining & whining will not be the answer (tick tock)
Moaning & groaning you will not find it (tick tock)
Open your eyes to a brand new adventure
Seek & ye shall find
