WORKiNG CLASS ANTHEM

So you're getting up early
To start another day
Of being over-worked and being underpaid
You work twelve plus hours
You drive a hundred miles
But you won't find anything better for a while
Too bad I need this job
I'd rather be a slob
Sit around on the couch all day
That perfect life is just too far away
So when Monday comes I'm waiting for Friday again
When Friday comes I'm sitting around waiting for 5 PM
Get two short days and I'm back to the grinder to do the same thing again
This is not the life I dreamt about when I was ten

THAT GUY

Eddie Money on the radio
White rusty El Camino baby
His denim jacket and his thrift store boots
This guy's got nothing to lose
I know that guy
Three pairs of corduroy his style is dry
I know that guy
He plays acoustic guitar or so he tries
He takes it literal if you ask him what's up
He drinks his coffee from a styrofoam cup
He paid $1.09
No way he'll ever pay $5
And he knows just what you're thinking
But save it he doesn't care

What if I told you that I had nothing to say about our Generation
Nothing decent to say at all
Our people are all lazy and our only ethic code's for one, not all
There's no respect for common man
We never do the best we can
We only listen to ourselves
We're putting this whole world through hell
Well it won't be too long now
We'll delete the human race
We mock the dinosaurs
But it's them we'll soon replace
We're just another stain on these woven threads of time
I'm telling you that we won't be fine
What if I told you that someday you're gonna frown upon our Generation
When our economy declines
So sit back on that La-Z-Boy grab that remote and pretend that you'll be fine
What if I told you that I had nothing to say about our generation
Someday you're gonna frown upon our generation
It won't be too long now this is our generation sucks

THESE WORDS FULL OF HOPE

Once there was a farmer with an ugly farmer wife
Now I'm cutting meat in Naples with a rusty butter knife
I used to think I was a captain of a vessel and it's men
During the Spanish Inquisition at the age of only ten
I learned to read and write in cursive while inventing the wheel
I taught the government to lie
I taught the pilgrims how to steal
Point your finger at me
I'm the one who's at fault
If you don't like what you hear just hit control delete and alt
And we'll reset to the day
When we thought it was gay
To live your life a certain way
Or even disagree with what they say
So you're now who you hated
Do you hate who you were?
If the answer is no
Maybe I'm not too sure
Take a second to think 'cause you've invented a cure and matured

Why can't life be like TV
Then there's nothing wrong with me
I guess I'll have to be a man
But I'm not sure they know I can
'Cause I know that life's not fair
And I know nobody cares
And I know life's not fair
And I- nobody cares
Mom and daddy gave me medicine
'Cause mom and daddy said I don't listen to them
Mom and daddy tell me what to be
But why won't mom and dad listen to me?
Every day is just the same
A snail's pace leaves a trail of shame
I guess I haven't got a clue
But am I much different than you?
I don't think so
'Cause I know that life's not fair
And I know nobody cares
And I know life's not fair
And I- nobody cares
Mom and daddy gave me medicine
'Cause mom and daddy said I don't listen to them
Mom and daddy tell me what to be
But why won't mom and dad listen to me?

6 FLAGS & 8 YEAR-OLDS
02:28
|

|
White knuckles clenched around the wheel
Gas pedal pressed against the floor
100 thoughts occur at once
And all I know is I want more
They won't get me this time around
I'll give it all I've got
I'm gonna stand my ground
I've got my dignity (that 8 year-old is going down)
I can't let myself down
I set my sights for open ground
My plan is simple: just survive
Next thing I know I'm spinning around
I've never felt so alive
They won't get me this time around
I'll give it all I've got
I'm gonna stand my ground
I've got my dignity (that mean old man is going down)
I can't let myself down
