THE
DEATH OF JOHN SMITH
I've got
respect from the community
I've got my bridge game to look
forward to
I've got this chance, a golden
opportunity
As long as I keep doing what I'm
supposed to
You see my
wife and kids, they depend on
me
To provide them with nothing but
the best
I feel it's my duty, my
obligation
To live up to the standards
society suggusts
So I'll keep
on working for their benefit
And I'll keep on drinking
I'll keep on believing in my
life
Another year
of slaving and smiling, buying
and trading
Living the life of a wealthy
man
But somehow I don't feel so rich
inside
But that doesn't make sense
I just had a two week
vacation
As soon as I get this
operation
Taken care of, I'll start
enjoying
The good things in
life
So I'll keep
on working for the benefits
And I'll keep on drinking
I'll keep believing in my
life
when the pity
spins your mind
Darkness fills your heart
And I won't be around
when you're feeling all alone
Then you'll know it's time
To go into the ground
when the pity
spins your mind
Darkness fills your heart
And I won't be around
I've got my
family, friends, and
associates
To stand by me as the threshold
comes near
within their faces I see grave
concern
As I ask myself if their thoughts
are sincere
After all
these years of being
complacent
what do I get? Tenderness,
affection, a true sense of
love?
No! Just a pain through a body
chalk full of regret
I'll keep on
believing my life still has
value
And I'll keep on laughing
why can't I stop laughing? I
can't stop the
laughing.

THE
LONGEST LINE
In the darkest
tunnel it's nice to see a
light
Not just a headlight
Like the one that's heading right
for me
It would be nice if things could
turn out right
Turn out right yeah
Don't think I'll ever see the
day
I must have
done something wrong
Or maybe pissed off
God
I think of
Chinese food when I think of
life
That's sweet and sour
My life is sweet as
saccharine
You know 3 week old milk and
grapes are not
Not the same, No
I am the one Johnny
Carcinogen
I must have
fucked with some witch
In turn she cursed me, cursed my
life
At the end of
the longest line
That's where I will always be
If you need to find me, just go
to
The end of the longest
line
But officer
that was a yellow light
The light was red, son
Insubordination, reckless
driving
I must be wrong, this can't be
right
I don't belong, this world is
much to dangerous
For someone lacking luck, like
me
At the end of
the longest line
That's where I will always be
If you need to find me, just go
to
The end of the longest
line
At the end of
the longest line
That's where I will always be
At the end of the longest
line

STRANDED
She once told
me not to listen
Find the answers, intuition
Follow no-one, trust your
instincts
Face the world, find out it
stinks
Don't come
crying, Don't come crying
Don't come cry to me
I'm not your friend, I'm just
your lover
Don't put your faith, Don't put
your faith in me
You cut me up
and rob me blind
But now I'm fine
She told me
about the places I could never
find
She told me how to walk while by
her side
Don't be fooled by teardrops
They're worth a thousand lies
when I saw them running down her
face
I believed in her
Stranded, Ah
Ah
Stranded, Ah Ah
Hit me in the
gut
like a brick through a window
Left me in the gutter like a wet
news rag
Sitting alone, thinking out the
times we never had
Cause you were my life
She told me if
and whether
we'd spend the night together
She made so many promises
I believed in her

REMNANTS
wasting your
life on the sidewalk
when you can be out on the
street, dodging cars
As they go by, the wind goes
right through you
Life on the
edge of a razor
Never knowing when you're to
fall
Sure as hell beats never gambling
at all
Life's too
short to just barely exist
wide spread mediocracy
will suck you up, resist
Another number on a
list
I don't want
it, you can have it
You can try, but you won't make
me
Feel the things you feel
I'll take my chances, till I find
a better deal
I'll take my chances, along with
all the rest
The snail goes
over the razor blade
The suicide squad of lemmings
parade
To their kingdom, where they've
made reservations
I have no
reservation
I don't think my seat's been
saved
I'll take my chances, here,
right

KILL
ALL THE WHITE MAN
The white man
call himself civilized
Cause he know how to take
over
The white man come to pillage my
village
Now he tell me I have to bend
over
Oh yeah, kill
all the white man
No I don't
like the white man up in me
He rape all my people as he rape
my country
Everything I love and cherish, he
try to take away
we will be rid of him, soon come
the day
Oh yeah, kill
all the white man
Oh yeah, kill all the white
man
Oh yeah, kill all the white
man
Oh yeah, kill all the white
man
