I don’t believe in miracles Only shit luck I haven’t been set free I’ve been set up I haven’t been set free I’ve been set up I don’t believe your kisses Don’t believe your lust Don’t believe your story Can’t believe my luck Don’t believe your words I don’t believe in love But i do believe i’m being fucked Go back to Encino California Go back before you’re too far in Why didn’t you just call a lawyer Why drag your sister in to this Would you forget about the fucking pictures And don’t say a word Would just stay home one night And let me handle her Don’t gamble away everything You’re gonna have to pay me some day Hopefully soon

Nothing To It 05:20
lyrics

I cant bring myself to do the things in life I know would really bring me joy (There's nothing to it) Id rather be miserable than make myself uncomfortable i guess thats it (Theres nothing to it) Ive never felt emptier it is a pit its loneliness ive always felt it (There's nothing to it) But i can’t get away from it its take hold and now i’m in its grip (Theres nothing to it) Pain is all there is There’s nothing to it Pain is all there is There’s nothing to it The Soul is a burden The Soul is what hurts The Soul is a burden The Soul is what hurts I go to a factory now every day and run my body through machines I clockout and buy my brand of beer the folks in here they know me and they understand me My labor gets extracted then I’m right back where I started, my spirit empty I’ve been so thoroughly alienated that i can’t even imagine having ownership of the life i live Pain is all there is There’s nothing to it Pain is all there is There’s nothing to it The Soul is a burden The Soul is what hurts The Soul is a burden The Soul is what hurts I worry every night that in the morning you’ll decide youve finally had enough And you’ll pack the kid into the car and everything you want to keep in the trunk And then you’ll drive away simultaneously robbing my life of all its meaning And then what will i do well i think we know but i shouldn’t say but we’re all thinking it Pain is all there is There’s nothing to it Pain is all there is There’s nothing to it The Soul is a burden The Soul is what hurts The Soul is a burden The Soul is what hurts

I wouldve thought you’d value love more highly But you just wanted to be one of the boys We’re beneath the tv glowing laughing smiling But really i’m feeling kind of annoyed You weren’t there for the oxycontin summer You weren’t there for the beach at 5 am You just showed up one day come on girl If i’d known what you are i never would have let you in When school starts up again You’ll just pretend like nothing happened I might’ve played things a little different If I knew you’d act like we weren’t ever friends I might’ve took a little of a different tack If i thought i could be one of the girls I was so full of it now looking back Holding my breath til i turned purple How come you were holding me so tightly When we were hiding from him in the closet If you thought it was your last night with me Why couldn’t you just be fucking honest If we're all gonna wind up dead As a direct result of our actions I might have told you that i loved you If i knew it would never fucking matter If I’m gonna end up in a pool of blood with my tits out I should at least get a few of my own hits in before i go down If we're all gonna end up dead No matter what happens I might have told you that i loved you If i knew it would never fucking matter

A Better Place 02:24
lyrics

You can choose to be happy any day You can get to know the real you self actuate Take a course on mindfulness mediate But you can’t make the world a better place We all construct our reality customize everything And what you consume is what you believe All of your takes are totally based But you can’t make the world a better place Theres no form of protest they can’t use against If you think of revolution they’ll come and collect you Can’t even imagine how to begin to escape You can’t make the world a better place I try to be good to my neighbors I try to do work i believe in I want to improve life for everyone How do i do that without changing anything

Love Will Make It Obvious 02:51
lyrics

It ain’t that hard to talk to grandma on the phone It ain’t that bad just sittin in silence all alone It ain’t that long between the weekends and the days go faster the older that you get The only thing I want these days is to hold you close Just sitting there and laughing with you at the bullshit on our phones I'll gladly work my life away just to keep you home and safe with me my love The pain gets less each day just like they say Memories degrade like an old worn out cassette tape The more that you replay them and there’s nothing you can do to make them stay Nothing I want more than to hold you til the morning It ain’t that hard to face the worst as long as I have you I’ll know just what to do because love will make it obvious

I can’t hold you Without holding you back I’m begging you not to leave Stay here and rot away with me Say you wanna go to New York City We’ll that’s a pity I mean really that’s a shame Cause of my anxiety I mean I can’t stand all the people and I’ve never even been on a plane If you wanna move on up Go ahead, love there’s nothing stopping you just know that i’m gonna have to stay Right here because I won’t be good enough wherever we go but i want you to be happy anyway I can’t hold you Without holding you back I’m begging you not to leave Stay here and rot away with me I can’t hold you Without holding you back I’m begging you not to leave Stay here and rot away with me I know that you deserve more In fact i’ve been through this before I don’t wanna lead you on you gotta know that i am not The most adventurous guy I can’t look people in the eye I step outside i think i’m gonna die and i can hardly talk If you really love me Then don't try to be free i don’t wanna try to be something that i’m not I can’t hold you Without holding you back I’m begging you not to leave Stay here and rot away with me I can’t hold you Without holding you back I’m begging you not to leave Stay here and rot away with me

Drinking beer and lemonade Lime trees sway in lush July Stumbling drunk down the promenade Afraid of the beautiful women walking by Seventeen and you can’t be serious Seventeen on a cool night in July Seventeen ecstatic delirious Seventeen on a cool night in july Smells of baking bread and mint Sticky alcohol and coffee You don’t know where all your friends went A simple country boy drinking in the city Seventeen and you can’t be serious Seventeen on a cool night in July Seventeen ecstatic delirious Seventeen on a cool night in july Don't be alarmed gendarmes Don’t twist my arm gendarmes I don’t mean no harm gendarmes I’m fresh off the farm gendarmes Seventeen and you can’t be serious Seventeen on a cool night in July Seventeen ecstatic delirious Seventeen on a cool night in july Them pretty girls have got a read on you They tease you and the wine flushes your cheeks A simple country boy drinking in the city A simple country boy at 17

Wretched of the Earth 03:49
lyrics

A rotting corpse is stalking the planet The festering body of neoliberal capitalism They’ve got a corpse propped up on tv Selling genocide as austerity Millions and millions of rounds of ammunition Tanks for the cops and teargas for civilians Ghouls spitting money into each others mouths While I’m working my carcass right into the ground Staring up at this hulking eldritch beast That runs on blood and drugs and gasoline Truly I’m beginning to believe in Satan Who could’ve devised such an abomination It’s taken control over your body It has a billion eyes it’s always watching They charged you for your first gasping breath They’ll steal your labor until there's nothing left Already millions of people it’s eaten We're living in hell, working for the demons if we took all their wealth and threw them in jail for the rest of their days we still wouldn’t be even When I grab the hand of my comrade And together we struggle to our feet That malevolent creature starts spewing icor And together we realize we can defeat it Arise ye workers from your slumber! Arise ye wretched of the earth! We toilers of all fields united join hand in hand with all who work Arise ye slaves, no more in thrall We have been nothing, we shall be all

Both Ways 04:55
lyrics

I know the phone goes both ways okay But I just can’t do it today And if you pick up what do I say What do I say I know you worry when I isolate myself But I don’t really wanna ask for help yet I promise that I won’t wait til it’s too late It’s been years since I thought about a method or a date I know the phone goes both ways But it’s just been one long day one long day after the next And I don’t know what to say I get so tired I forget to turn the page to write this down I look at your name and I frown I’ve been thinking about him every day lately I’ve just been whispering his name out loud You think it would get easier as memories start fading But it really fucking hurts to forget a little more every day and my little boy was just a baby god you’d be so proud I know the phone goes both ways I know the distance isn’t too great It wouldn’t be too weird to just call and say i hey I miss you Even though we haven’t spoken in years The tears do dry up If you give it long enough The feelings do die As time goes by I do try I do try I do try I know the phone goes both ways But it’s really hard to stay on the line I’m fine but I can't talk about it today okay I know the phone goes both ways okay Okay I know the phone goes both ways okay
