Where Do We Go?
03:56
|
|||
With People all around, dropping like flies.
The fear is real you can see in their eyes.
Red means stop, green is go. So much more that you need to know.
Chorus
Uh Oh. Where do we go? How do we get there I want to know.
Oh My. Time passes us by. Looking at the future square in the eye.
They used to just say love the one you're with.
Now you better have your Doctor's note in triplicate!
The game is over before it begins. Can't you see the world's changed my friend?
Chorus
Solo
People swiping to the left while they're looking to the right.
Can't even seem to tell you where they slept last night.
Their happiness is sitting at the bottom of a glass.
Living for a moment that just won't last.
Chorus
Sometime's the truth's a bitter pill to take.
You're grabbing for an apple and get bitten by a snake.
So many lesson's seem to come and go.
Live a thousand lives and you still won't know.
Chorus
Solo

Clip Clip!
03:23
|
|||
I called my Doctor up the other day.
I said you gotta help me out some way.
I don't want more kids in my face.
Gotta work your magic name the time and the place.
He said I'll see you Wednesday 'round quarter to two.
We can go over the procedure with you.
Just make sure you bring along your wife.
Cus what I'm gonna do is gonna change your life!
Chorus
Clip clip snip snip. This is gonna hurt a bit. You won't have to "Jimmy up"
Clip clip snip snip. That'll be the end of it. Say goodbye to your stuff!
Solo
Chorus
There I was on the table for all to see.
Family jewels on display majestically.
The Doctor said this will hurt you more than me.
As the Nurse held the scalpel to eagerly!
Chorus
Without a word the Doctor grabbed ball #1.
He plunged the needle in and I wanted to run!
He sliced diced and cauterized, I thought we were thru.
Then he did the same thing to ball #2!
Chorus...

The Hood
03:19
|
|||
Raised by a mother, a drunken wretch.
Daddy's been gone on a 10 year stretch.
Just a punk kid out on the street.
Trying to stay clear from all the heat.
Chorus
Growing up in the hood.
Always up to no good.
Trying to make a better life.
No-one gets out alive.
Got a St. Christopher around his neck.
Looking for his props and a little respect.
Heading down the street to the liquor store.
Shot the clerk dead on a ten dollar score.
Chorus
Solo
Went thru reception down Donavan way.
Toured California ended up at the Bay.
Hooked up with homes to do his time.
That's just what you do when you walk the line.
Chorus

Gen Why?
02:51
|
|||
Mom and dad still pay my way.
They wish I'd leave but here I stay.
Gonna be a star someday.
Don't harsh my mellow with your gloom.
I wake up bout 12 PM.
I bake up before my BM.
Catch some TV up in the Den.
I don't want to start too soon.
Got myself a five year plan.
Don't need to share with the man.
Think I'll lay out get a tan.
I live my life like a tycoon!
Chorus
Gonna be an Internet sensation.
Electrify a generation.
Don't need no education.
I'm never gonna leave my room!
Solo
Chorus

It Was Aliens
03:32
|
|||
Orange and yellow lights right around midnight.
Hovering over a Jersey turnpike.
V shaped in the sky no rhyme or reason why.
All questions were denied.
Chorus
I'm not saying it was aliens, But it was alines! It was aliens!
No I'n not saying it was aliens but you know it was aliens!
Airforce pilots see churning water and an oval shape straight away.
As they made their move the object disapproved and vanished til another day.
Chorus
Solo
A dairy farm in Texas near Highway 67 people saw lights a mile wide.
The government claimed it was weather balloons, just what are they trying to hide?
Chorus

The Country Way
02:54
|
|||
Now my Pa taught me a lot of things, said always try with all your might.
And if you find a girl you take a shining to, make sure you treat her right.
Now I'm just a hard working Country boy with calluses on my hands.
Got no time for no manicure, I hope she understands.
Chorus
Two in the Cooter one in the Pooter you know it's the Country way.
Two in the Cooter one on the Pooter you know love is here to stay.
My girl's coming over with an apple pie that she said she baked just for me.
She's got a twinkle in her eye and loving on her mind as far as I can see.
Now I'll be such a gentleman and take things nice and smooth.
And just when I think the time is right, that's when I'll make my move.
Chorus
Solo
Well I guess I really didn't understand cus we just weren't on the same page.
She didn't approve when I made my move and she went off in a rage!
She ran outside and got in her car, didn't even say goodbye.
But all's not lost as you can guess, I still got that apple pie!
Chorus

Red Planet
03:38
|
|||
So you think with all your worth.
You can just abandon Earth.
Take a rocket ship to Mars.
Fly away past all the stars.
Chorus
To Red Planet
Tomorrow becomes yesterday
Red Planet
When you're millions of miles away
Red Planet
Once you're gone then there you'll stay
Red Planet.
All your aspirations seem unreal.
Trying to reinvent the wheel.
Your bank accounts must be overdrawn.
With rocket ships flying far beyond.
Chorus
Solo
Mother Earth must be confused.
Feeling cheated and abused.
Taking life right from her core
So your vanity can soar.
Chorus
Solo
