I Can't Force Quit You
03:08

Whether I click right or command, I see no use. You always disagree; whatever I do. You pop up now and then, just to see that I don't succeed, and here's the truth - I can't force quit you.
It's been a while now since I last saw you. I think of all the others I've been through. I try you now and then, but then again you freeze on me. I always lose. I can't force quit you.
I try to get started - you stand up in my way and deny me.
Why you try so hard to bring me down, that is a mystery.
I've become so frustrated around you all of the time. Now these days I feel I hardly know you, and trying is no use - what can I do?

No Nibiru

Now what the voices say is we're all gonna die today from a big, black star. They're ready for the Earth to end again.
It didn't happen when they said it would
In September. In October.
Now they're hiding in bunkers waiting for the world to end
Waiting again
I look up to the sky - it just looks blue
I look up to the sky. No Nibiru. No Nibiru.
Maybe they got it wrong? But conviction can be strong - misguided faith. They're ready for the Earth to blow today.
It didn't happen when they said it would
In September. In October.
Now they're hiding in bunkers waiting for the world to end
Waiting again
I look up to the sky - it just looks blue
I look up to the sky. No Nibiru. No Nibiru.
I'm gonna worry about something else. I've got enough real on my plate. I'm not waiting around for the next mistake.

What Made Him King
02:20
|

|
Seventy-million years ago, in late Cretacious times. The biggest threat they say there was, it grew twenty feet high. It had a great big tail. And all those teeth were frightening. But they misunderstood what made him King.
Those little arms were tender; what the stories never say - he held and played a little ukulele. Before Elvis - before Basie - before Beethoven and Bach, the T-Rex rocked
He strummed a mean clawhammer and did finger-picking too. When he did 3-finger rolls, the ladies there all swooned. But we never hear about that now in books and magazines. They misunderstood what made him King.
Those little arms were tender; what the stories never say - he held and played a little ukulele. Before Elvis - before Basie - before Beethoven and Bach, the T-Rex rocked

I'll say I did it, (if I did it) but I didn't. Your nasal ways have been asaulted by a kitten - that smell! The smell that you are smelling isn't me. That smell! I'm not the reason you decided to leave.
I'll own up to it, (when I do it) but I didn't. I've been embarassed and set up by a kitten - that smell! It comes from under tail and not from me. That smell! I'm not the reason that it's so hard to breathe.
My cat (cat) Won't (Won't) Stop farting
My cat (cat) Won't (Won't) Stop farting
My cat (cat) Won't (Won't) Stop farting
They always put the blame on me

When I look at all the comment feeds, I wonder. Are we all that civilized, or are we getting dumber? Are we really the superior species? I'm not so convinced if seeing is believing.
Are we there yet, Darwin? Have we made it through the gene pool - are we just around the bend? Are we there yet, Darwin? On Facebook walls and shopping malls - just look at us all. Are we there yet? Did we evolve?
When I look at who we put in charge, I wonder. Do we crave destruction - are we addicted to blunder? While watching history repeating - this time we've got nukes and no one here will be left breathing
Are we there yet, Darwin? Have we made it through the gene pool - are we just around the bend? Are we there yet, Darwin? On Facebook walls and shopping malls - just look at us all. Are we there yet? Did we evolve?
Are you rolling over in your grave right now? To see they ways we bring each other down.
Are we there yet, Darwin? Have we made it through the gene pool - are we just around the bend? Are we there yet, Darwin? On Facebook walls and shopping malls - just look at us all. Are we there yet? Did we evolve?

Black Hole in my House
02:20
|
|||
|
When I went for a walk and came back to the house; at some point, I think a star went out. It exploded and left behind a black hole. Now it all disapears - everything I own. My wallet, my keys, and my favorite hat. But the hole won't take any of my 3 cats.
I never see it, but I know it's there. I can't remember if I shaved, or if it took my hair. I've got both eyes on this house of mine, but I keep on losing it every time.
I've got a black hole in my house. It all goes in the black hole in my house. A black hole in my house. It all goes in the black hole in my house. I know I've got a black hole - a black hole in my house.
The lyrics to this song all disappeared; and I haven't seen my shoes in years. So I walk around bare-footed now; and I curse that hole for being in my house.
I've got a black hole in my house. It all goes in the black hole in my house. A black hole in my house. It all goes in the black hole in my house. I know I've got a black hole - a black hole in my house.

I Only Want it All
02:48

I'm pretty bummed because I can't go - because I can't go - to every comic con all of the time. And get paid to just have fun all of my life.
I'm pretty bummed because I can't eat - because I can't eat - everything I want all of the time. Without stretching out on my waist size.
All I want is everything I want right now. All the rest I guess I can do without. I only want it all - I only want it all.
I'm pretty bummed because I can't spend - because I can't spend - endless loads of cash each day and night. I'm pretty sad because I'm older - because I'm older. I'm getting older all the time; instead of staying in my prime.
All I want is everything I want right now. All the rest I guess I can do without. I only want it all - I only want it all.

When I Sleep
03:20

I don't know why I can't figure it out. Every day - the strangest this without a doubt.
When I wake up, it's always gone. So I set up a camera to see what's going on.
Clear as day on the video feed; I see Cthulhu there at night. Going through my kitchen again like a creep. This is what happens - what happens when I sleep. This is what happens - Cthulhu drinks my tea.
I see him steeping Darjeeling, and watching Netflix on TV. Which explains why 'watch it again' is always changing. He plays peek-a-boo with my cats. But they clearly don't like that. And he always leaves the seat up when he pees. They blame it on me.

Life is a Puddle
03:51

I go to the movies - the screen goes dark.
I go to the groceries - there is no cart.
When I try to sit down and read, the clouds roll in and it rains on me.
Things just go that way for me; all of the time.
When I get sunshine, it burns my eyes.
Life is a puddle I keep stepping in (whoa oh oh).
When I think the street is dry.
Life is a puddle I keep stepping in (whoah oh oh).
I'll never know the reason why.
I go to the concert - the stage breaks down.
I go to the circus - there are no clowns.
When I try to watch the TV, all I get is the static feed.
Things just go that way for me; all of the time.
When I get sunshine, it burns my eyes.
Life is a puddle I keep stepping in (whoa oh oh).

Smash It Up
02:54

Ourage. It's the voice of a decade. The theme of the year. The news of the week. Coming from all sides that disagree. Outrage. Burning in the land of the free.
Smash it up - it's your dollar
Stick it to yourself if you think you can win
Smash it up - it's your dollar.
Stomp that ethical choice into the ground
Smash it up - it's your dollar
You're on the losing side looking like a clown.
Discord. The clash of a Nation. Cries of the people. Stuck on repeat. Giving us something to gripe about every week.
Discord. Burning in the land of the free.
Smash it up - it's your dollar
Stick it to yourself if you think you can win
Smash it up - it's your dollar.
Stomp that ethical choice into the ground
Smash it up - it's your dollar
You're on the losing side looking like a clown.
Look at how we crave controversy. None of us can say our hands are clean. Outrage. Burning with the flames of you and me.
Smash it up - it's your dollar
Stick it to yourself if you think you can win
Smash it up - it's your dollar.
Stomp that ethical choice into the ground
Smash it up - it's your dollar
You're on the losing side looking like a clown.

Leave The Pole

Misfortune found my friend. Misfortune - why you come around?
Sadness found my friend. Sadness - why you come around?
Home should be a safe place we can hide and we can stay
Someone took that safe place away
Why break in like a jerk. Like an A-hole.
Why break in and steal away that limbo pole?
Atrocity found my friend. Atrocity - why you come around?
Injustice found my friend. Injustice - why you come around?
Home should be a safe place we can hide and we can stay
Someone took that safe place away
Why break in like a jerk. Like an A-hole.
Why break in and steal away that limbo pole?
Take what you want; do what you must.
Am I asking for too much?
Let us party - leave us whole.
Just leave the pole.
Home should be a safe place we can hide and we can stay
Someone took that safe place away
Why break in like a jerk. Like an A-hole.
Why break in and steal away that limbo pole?

How am I? How am I - well I'm doing fine. But just look at the sky. Don't it make you wanna cry? Look how it's raining - it's raining; I'm alright.
They say look at the grey clouds - how I wish the sun would shine. But me, I love the rain and those grey clouds. So if it's raining, I'm alright.
I never get depressed when I don't see the sunshine. The rain is beautiful to me. When it gets bright I alway shave to close my eyes. I get heat sick and I hide away inside.
