Mandatory Soul Time
04:24
|

Eenie meenie chili beanie
The spirits are about to speak
It's mandatory soul time
Turn off the scanners
our workday is done
And it's been a hell of a week
It's mandatory soul time
But I see exposed wires and sparks and tweeting things
Spinning in the acrid smoke and spraying everything
As screaming feedback shatters the room
Tonight's entertainment is probably doomed
Get Aunt Myrtle the hell out of here
So that we can sing a song of good cheer
It's mandatory soul time
Well, I can clearly see a saboteur has cut these wires
Who the hell would do such a thing!
And at this point, I mean, it's safe to assume
Tonight's entertainment is probably doomed
........probably doomed.....
Shut down the network
our work here is done
And we'll do it all again next week
It's mandatory soul time
Another Saturday Night and I ain't got no Vaseline
Just pills and kerosine heat
It's mandatory soul time

World Kiss My Ass
01:24
|
|||
|
Strutting down the sidewalk
I stepped on some gum
Now I know the world's an evil place
Full of wicked rotten scum
World just kiss my
World just kiss my
World kiss my ass
World bend over pucker up
And world kiss my ass
They really picked the wrong guy
To fuck with this time
'Cos someday maybe I'm gonna
Perhaps kick a few butts or something
World just kiss my
World just kiss my
World kiss my ass
World bend over pucker up
And world kiss my ass

People ask what's wrong and I say
I'm alright I'm okay
Even though I don't know
If I'll live through this day
Who do I think I'm fooling
I wish I knew
Who do I think I'm fooling
I think I'm not fooling you
People stop by they pass the time
I say that I'm doing fine
Even though I know
I'm losing the rest of my mind
Who do I think I'm fooling
Everyone I know
Who do I think I'm fooling
I'm fooling myself that it's so
I guess I'm just a fraud
Just a pleasant vapor mirage
An entertaining story
For my small entourage
Who do I think I'm fooling
Not you I see
Who do I think I'm fooling
Not he, not she, just me

Thoughts And Prayers
03:33
|
|||
|
Hey Senator So-And-So, Mr. President
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers
So many thoughts and so so many prayers
God must feel a burning in his ears
It's the little kindnesses that mean so much
And we're in your thoughts and prayers
But your prayers are a little bit too late
And your thoughts always go nowhere
People to see and things to do
And then a bit of something else
Things to see and people to do
That golfball won't drive itself
Okay they say we'll take care of it someday
For now we're in their thoughts and prayers
That might mean something to someone
To somebody that wasn't there
It's very easy, don't cost a dime
To send out your thoughts and prayers
And if you put your tiny hands on my TV
All my pain would just disappear
People to see and things to do
And then a bit of something else
Things to see and people to do
That golfball won't drive itself
Nice shot, Mr. President

Not Much Left Inside
03:35
|
|||
|
Woke up today and realized
There's not much left inside
I'll give you all I can but now
The tank is almost dry
How long can I slide?
Downward powerglide
It just can't be denied
Not much left inside
Not much left inside
And there's not much left to work with here
A convincing vortex is drawing near
I hear it roaring in my ear
There's not much to discuss
But the stupid men are on the march again
And they want so much for us to think like them
We can't let that happen to our friends
We can't let that happen to us
How long can I slide?
Downward powerglide
It just can't be denied
Not much left inside
Not much left inside
Not much left inside

Blue Food

Calling Mission Control
We just wanna know
Why did you send up this butthole?
Do you have ulterior goals?
He's a lazy dude
Disobedient and rude
And worst of all we conclude
He's eating our blue food
Too bad too bad for you
I'm eating all the blue food
It's delicious too
And there's nothing you can do
So he sits on his hands
And he reads Ayn Rand
Says collective effort's a scam
And he wont get with the plan
And the crew is aghast
He better shape up fast
Before we say at last
YOU'RE FIRED into the vast
Too bad too bad for you
I'm eating all the blue food
It's delicious too
And there's nothing you can do
Too bad too bad for you
I'm eating all the blue food
Digging the blue stew
I wont stop until I do

We Found Out
04:11
|

A wonderful time a beautiful day
It was brutally swept away
So that you know what this is about
We found out
We found out
Okay okay
We found out we found out
Just the other day
We found out we found out
Now there comes a time you girls and boys
When you'll have to make a choice
We found out we found out
So they finally woke up and smelled the bread
Dawn breaks over Marblehead
You tried to keep the sunshine out
But how did that work out?
I hope you have a ticket out of town
Hasta La Vista See You Around
You're our old racist uncle and there's no doubt
We found out
We found out
Okay okay
We found out we found out
Just the other day
We found out we found out
Now there comes a time you girls and boys
When you'll have to make a choice
We found out we found out
And you will find out too

Teabagged By Reality
03:03
|
|||
|
I had to go home
Because I was teabagged by reality
And the shock was far too much for me
I need some moments alone
I had to lie down
When I got teabagged by reality
But I'll get over it eventually
Like a big-eyed sad clown
You'll go home and lie down
When you get teabagged by reality
And somewhere deep in your memory
You'll think "That sac looks familiar"
Now everybody is a star
Til they get teabagged by reality
And everybody thinks it's quite funny
Until it's their turn
Teabagged by reality
Reality itself

Make mine a double
The revolution was a drag
I just can't get in step it seems
With this new regime
Every day it's another transgression
Keeping up will drive you nuts
Who knew they could destroy an institution
With a billion tiny paper cuts
People lemme tell ya
The revolution was a drag
We traded our old standard
For a strange new flag
The President and his Moron Convention
They're gonna get us all killed
So we smuggle food and ammunition
To our compound in the hills
Well I hate to break it to you
The revolution was a drag
There was a vacuum of power
And it really sucked the bag
The government is making some lists
They got plans for you and me
They'll teach us about the New Constitution
In the basement of the DMV

Never pet a flaming wolf
Do not piss in your own mess kit
Exercise caution in the Orange Zone
And avoid smoke coming out of your eyes

Farting Superfriends
02:42
|
|||
|
And my friends you're killing me
I don't need no super enemy
It makes me scream
It was a stupid thing to dream
So I'm showing myself the door
I can't stand behind you any more
Your laser beam
It was a stupid thing to dream
For just a moment on the telephone
I thought I might not have to die alone
I'm wrong it seems
What a foolish thing to dream
Oh the super things you'll do
I'm afraid I can't be there with you
In my bloodstream
It was a stupid thing...

Poor Mr. Egg see him inching along down the street
Afraid that his shell will be cracked by someone he meets
Moving so slowly he hardly can get anywhere
If you look out there tomorrow he might still be there
He's no fun
If you tip him over he'd likely cry out in distress
If he were to shatter he knows there would be such a mess
Poor Mr. Egg if you knew what goes on in his head
His heart would just stop he'd fall over and then he'd be dead
Dead
He's no fun

Another Fine Mess
02:32
|

|
Oh! The sunset
Over the methane holding tank
Corroding beauty
My eyes water in great thanks
Oh! The starlight
Glinting madly off the bling
Hardy had Laurel
To blame for this kind of thing
This is another fine mess
Another fine mess you've gotten us into

Once you go, you will never come back
You will never darken that door
Once you go, you can never come back
To where life is stuck in '74
Once you're gone, there's a you-shaped hole
They'll miss you down at the grocery store
Once you're gone, you will never come back
You'll never go back to '74
Seventy four

At the edge of the galaxy
That's when you turned and said to me
Let's not go back to Earth
I don't think anyone will miss us for what it's worth
On the verge of the Crab Nebulae
We could stay together you and I
Let's not go back to Earth
They won't even notice we're gone at first
It's a little hellhole backwater place
In a weird deserted corner of space
Where they have to fight each other just to thrive
Such a marvelous life
In the wake of Hot Jupiter
There among ourselves we whisper
Let's not go back to Earth
Nobody will care and no one will get hurt
Travelers through the universe
They know that life there couldn't be worse
And they have to eat each other to just survive
Such a marvelous life

Soy Bomb

Came bursting from the streetlights
Soy Bomb danced with Mr. D
Soy Bomb was an abstract concept
Just like you and me
Soy Bomb's body met a body
Coming through the rye
Soy Bomb might be ready
To speak to the FBI
Hey little guy
This is your Lifetime Achievement
Came hopping through the turnstiles
"Only a sap would pay for a subway"
Soy Bomb is a wanted poster
Coming back to stay
So where is our champion?
He took the first plane out of town
Commissioner Gordon fires up the Soy Signal
But Soy Bomb ain't around
Hey little guy
This is your Lifetime Achievement

Helpless as a latchkey kid
Too small to reach the lock
I'm loose in this world and the world is starting to talk
So now I'm stumbling around
And falling on my head
Stumbling around and falling on my head
I always think I'll be okay
But this time I was wrong
I can't do anything right since you've been gone
And now I'm stumbling around
And falling on my head
Stumbling around and falling on my head
Mumbling in the gutter
I think I'm singing to the stars
I'm mumbling and I'm stumbling
I'm crumbling alone in a car
Discomfort is a hell of a drug
Just try it once and see
How could someone love an awkward man like me?
And I’ll be stumbling around
And falling on my head
Stumbling around and falling on my head

Rosemary and the lullaby man
Went to sea in an econoline van
Sailing through the 1 AM hour
It's all going according to plan
Said the lullaby man
Insomniacs
Unite
Sleepwalkers
Take a hike
It's time to rise up
And go to sleep
It's time to rise up
And finally go
The lullaby man and Rosemary
Going on a tri-state crime spree
He slides up and lulls you to rest
While she helps herself to your I.D.
Such depravity
Rosemary and the lullaby man
I gotta say they made me a fan
Now I get all my ideas
From a convenient aerosol can
Thank you lullaby man
Insomniacs
Unite
Sleepwalkers
Take a hike
It's time to rise up
And go to sleep
It's time to rise up
And finally let go
Everybody's having a ball
But then somebody had to call
Rosemary and the lullaby man
Now we'll be in prison until next fall
And that isn't all

The Talent Show

Hope you enjoy our little show
Maybe first prize will be someone you know
Now presenting a man with quite strange ideas
About what sounds good to your ears
His normal life, grey and achy
Thinks he has what it takes to make it at Shakey's
Just a small man with his crazy ideas
It's caused him turmoil throughout the years
And trouble and tears
Someday... someday...
One thing he can't say out loud
He fears fading back into the crowd
And should God strike him down
With a bolt from above
He died doing what he loved
One trophy says You're A Special Guy
The one he got just says Nice Try
A picture of Earth as viewed from space
You know he's in there someplace
He's in there someplace...

Curtains For Certain
03:06
|

A man comes into your room, poops on the floor every day
Some day will you get up and chase him away
Or resign yourself his crap is here to stay
You were gonna buy a new rug anyway
This is another fine mess you've gotten us into
You only had one job you couldn't be bothered to do
Apathy is not a good look for you
It's painful but it's true
You say you're not in love with politics yes it's true
Well that's too bad because politics is in love with you
Everything you say and think and do
It's scary but it's true
And we all fall down
And we're all really hurting
You better raise up your voice
Or it's curtains for certain
