Cutting Corners

I want to live
That Peter Stuyvesant lifestyle
I need that
Passport to pleasure
Taxi – Departure Lounge
Prepare for landing
Boring board room
Another board full of bores
Beige hotel room
Lets paint the fucker red
Cutting Corners/ Cutting/ Cutting Corners……..
To live out of an
Overnight bag
Airline food
So completely wireless
Are you sure
I booked ahead
Check again
If I ain’t there this deal’s dead
Cutting Corners/ Cutting / Cutting Corners……..
But what about the month – after the next?

Measure Up
We’re sizing down
We decided
you got to go
Laid Off
Lay down
Whatever the question
Answers No
Machine/Machine
Machine/Machine
Machine/Machine
Machines make it possible
People/People
People/People
People/People
(But) People make it happen

Think of it as a canvas
Chop your chords, like
I wanted ART
Like Pollack flicks,
Flicks his fucking paint
I wanted ART
Treat it like an opening
Another two week showing
I wanted ART
Maybe the price will rise
Will rise, after you die
I wanted ART
All I wanted was – All I wanted was
Don’t need your Pet Sounds
Or the interpretation
I wanted ART
If you show me Revolver
I’ll shoe the fucking door
I wanted ART
The sergeant lied
The sergeant died
I wanted ART
Maybe the price will
Maybe when you die
I wanted ART
I want it all
I wanted ART

Johnny's Been Drinking
03:07
|

Pushing red in my truck, Runnin’ low on luck
Sat back long enough, Time unstuck
I need a distraction, A new set of action
A rebirth, a new dawn, Another transaction
I’ve drawn a line in the sand
I’ve drawn a line with my hand
This where I hold my ground
This is where I make a stand
Forget the motor city
I’m livin’ this life without pity
For this decision don’t need a committee
Just sights & sounds of the Twin City
I’ve drawn a line in the sand
I’ve drawn a line with my hand
This where I hold my ground
This is where I make a stand
Johnny, Johnny
Johnny’s been drinkin’
Johnny’s been drinkin’
Johnny, Johnny
Johnny
Johnny
Johnny
Johnny
Rockin’ with the rebels
Rollin’ with the devil
Johnny, Johnny
Johnny
Johnny
Johnny
Johnny

When Will It Stop
02:36

There was that once before
Most of the time
I believe your lies
When will it stop
When will it stop
The rest of the time
I believe you’re lying
When will it stop
When will it stop
When will it stop
When will it stop
I don’t want to
resent your decisions
When will it stop
When will it stop
If the ride doesn’t stop
Then how will I know
When to get off
And if I don’t get off
Then will this ride
Ever stop????
When will it stop
When will it stop
When will it stop
When will it stop
When will it stop
When will it stop
When will it stop
When will it stop

She Shoots Pistols

Your Eyes are blue
But your stare is dead
What gets through?
What is shed?
Is this true
Or am I being led? Led? Led?
Programmed De-Coding
It’s her Symbol
De-Coded Program
She Shoots Pistols
She Shoots Pistols
She Shoots ……..
Always Wearing Black
It goes on & on
Never turn your back
Not for too long
Realise that you lack
Then it’s gone. Gone. Gone.
Programmed De-Coding
It’s her Symbol
De-Coded Program
She Shoots Pistols
She Shoots Pistols
She Shoots ……..
Programed to decode

World Stops Turning

I’d rather the world stops turning
Than you fucking breathing
You’ve got more issues than Time Magazine
Take another draw on complacency
Take it so far away from me
So far that I can’t see …… It
World Stops Turning
Than you fucking breathing
World Stops Turning
Than you fucking breathing
Control …. Taking Back
Control …. Taking Back
Control …. Taking Back
Control …. Taking Back

This Bomb Rocks

This bomb rocks
It’ll turn this town around
This bomb rocks
This town of gray’s, blues & fucking browns
As I stare at my fellow commuter
All I see is a blue screen,
Hung fucking computer
This bomb rocks
It’ll turn this town around
This bomb rocks
This town of gray’s, blues & fucking browns
And now I walk that pin-stripe tight rope
Don’t slip, don’t trip,
Don’t even fucking choke
Don’t tie
That tie
Too Tight
Don’t tie
That tie
Too tight
Tonight
