freedom for me
is a never ending job
doing this
not doing that
it gets confusing
the strait people
can travel accross that line
for a few minutes
or maybe even a few days
it gets annoying
they go to work monday morning
with thier secrets secure
thier sins swept under the rug
and pat themselfs on the back
it gets me jealous
jealous because they can stop
you know, get back to reality
not me, no way
not till the cuffs come on
it gets claustrophobic
they scare me
they used to be licks
you know, cattle
and now i'm a vegitarian
it gets me hungry
they don't know jesus
they say they do, but ...
i've never met jesus, personally
but i think he was here
it gets me thinkin
thinkin he would like me
thinkin he would understand me
thinkin he would accept me
thinkin he would forgive me
it gets me through today
just me and my faith in myself

the days all blend together
the nights don't seem to last
insomnia's the price i pay
for my troubled past
i never get a good nights sleep
while pacing wooden floors
remembering my yesterdays
locked behind steele doors
i like to second guess my life
pretend that it was good
but deep inside i know the truth
badness always ruled
i left the world that's living
by drowning in a flask
i haven't slept a single wink
since i breathed my last
by martin
i'm a simple man
with a simple name
from this soil my people came
in this soil remain
oh yeah ....
and we made us our shoes
and we trod soft on the land
but the immigrant built roads
on our blood and sand
oh yeah ....
white man, white man
don't you see the light behind your blackened skies
white man, white man
you took away sight to blind my simple eyes
white man, white man
where you gonna hide
from the hell you've made ?
oh the red man knows war
with his hands and his knives
on the bible you swore
fought your battle with lies
oh yeah ....
leave my body in shame
leave my soul in discrace
but by every gods name
say your prayers for your race
white man, white man
our country was green and all our rivers wide
white man, white man
you came with a gun and soon our children died
white man, white man
don't you give a light for the blood you've shed ?
what is left of your dream ?
just the words on your stone
a man who learned how to teach
then forgot how to learn.
lyrics by
Brian May of Queen
the evil bleeds in
slowly at first
nobody notices
except for myself
the evil taste good
like candy
it's everywhere
drawing me closer
the evil is easy
so easy i could cry
i open my car window
and welcome it in
the evil has a name
so do the diseases
it brings to the party
in my body
the evil is a whopper
cover it with cheese
pie, and fries, and soda
super -size me please

i was awakened
by the sounds of war
and the smell of smoke
or was it a dream ?
i had been on a run
and crashed out in my van
by a large open field
if you know what i mean
a voice in my head
said your father is with us
in calvery
and he wants you to get clean
i thought of the flag
and the eyes of the soldier that passed it to me
at my dads funeral
a powerful scene
the field was now quiet
the smoke had all cleared
i picked up a pipe, and opened a beer
and slipped into a dream about being clean
by martin
i'll go down the slide with you
if it will make you happy.
i'll even get you some weed
if you want.
i'm sorry i didn't want to play with you.
seems like i was pissed about something
and i forgot you are dead.
then i woke up.
maybe it makes me mad
when you stay the same,
and i get old ... plus,
i can't even seem to get stoned in my dreams.
i dream a little
and i find you.
but when i wake up ....
you are dead
and i'm alone,
by martin
forget the past
and let's begin
when they slip the needle in
i can feel the eyes of the audience upon me
burning into my soul
greedily awaiting closeure
i'm looking at the phone on the wall
smiling at me
in silence
now ants are marching
up my arm
to eat my brain
the phone is ringing
why don't they answer it ? ...
maybe because it's so far away
the ants march on
consuming me
until the final curtain falls
by martin
day of the dead
night of delight
where do we go
when we follow the light ?
our bodies are buried
or cooked down to ash
except kieth richards father
who was snorted as stash
on the day of the dead
when the party is done
we pour one more tall one
then pick up a gun
we think of the dead
and the dead start to cry
they know how we're feeling
and what we will try
they send us a message
we can't even hear
the gun's getting heavy
so is the beer
with the dead in our heart
we drift off to sleep
gun on the table
dried tears on our cheeks
day of the dead
night of delight
where do we go
when we follow the light ?

i'm studio 54 today
i mean ...
they say it's your birhday
it's my birthday too
i'm so fucking old
on the outside anyway
but on the inside ...
it's way different than i had imagined
i thought i would be my dad
but my dad is dead
and if i had known that we only grow old
on the outside
it would have changed the way
i looked at him
i wonder what my kid sees
when she sees me
hmmm ...
she's probably of the same mindset
that i was at her age
and that would firmly place me
in the older generation
you know ....
happy birthday to me
maybe someday i'll grow up
on the inside
nah
