Your dreams are in the sink
They'll vanish in a blink
And you'd pay major bucks
To know what you really think
I'd love to let you down
That's what I'll do for you
I'd love to let you down
It's the least that I can do
Cool dreams for all the kids
Cool kids for all the scenes
And the rest of us get
Polyethylene
You, you got the drive
And you have that void inside
So they sold you the wool
You pulled over your own eyes
I'd love to let you down
That's what you really need
I'd love to let you down
That is my dream indeed
Cool dreams for all the kids
Cool kids for all the scenes
And the rest of us get
Polyethylene
Dreams will not be real
The world comes nipping at your heels
And someday you'll get used
To the way that plastic feels
I'd love to let you down
I can't help myself it seems
I'd love to let you down
Just like these stupid dreams
Cool dreams for all the kids
Cool kids for all the scenes
And the rest of us get
Polyethylene

Yes Man, saw your wife at the flower show
She was talking compost about you
Yes Man too damn bad you couldn't go
Too damn bad you just couldn't say No
A life of vague regret
That's what you get
When you're a Yes Man
Yes Man you got a problem for sure
Consent consent consent is all you know
Yes Man, now they're howling at your door
Too damn bad you never could say No...Oh!
Ten thousand cigarettes
That's what you get
When you're a
Yes Man
Do the best you can
Yes Man
Ahhh
Call for Yes Man on line two-oh
Too damn bad you never can say No
A spiral of Regret
That's what you get
When you're a Yes Man

You got one foot in the real world
One foot somewhere else
Somewhere else...
So the future is over
And mumbo-jumbo has conquered the day
You'll want a new world
Where you can just get away
He's just a lucky idiot
You can pretend that he's dead
But the experts have spoken
And we're all going back to THAT
Someone is getting in your way (it's you)
You got one foot in the real world
One foot somewhere else
Somewhere else...
And you can still remember
When you heard the shouts and screams
You woke up the next morning
Hoping it was all a bad dream
What a lucky person
You can pretend that you're dead
I'm finding out that anything is possible
And we're all going back to THAT
Someone is getting in your way (it's you)
You got one foot in the real world
One foot somewhere else
Somewhere else...
You can pretend
You can pretend he's dead
You can pretend
Pretend
You got one foot in the real world
One foot somewhere else
Somewhere else...

Poop At Work

Some time you're gonna have to poop at work
The longer you wait the more you make it worse
So poop at work, poop at work
You can help smash the state
And make your boss irate
Now that you're okay with poopin' at work
Let's do a little math and see what that turd is worth
You poop at work, poop at work
Divide your hourly wage
By your time backstage
Sometimes, you know, you really just can't wait
You're carrying a great big load of freight
You'll strike a blow to the fascist state
So take a break, you Capitalist Tool
And tell them all you gotta drop the kids off at the pool
You poop at work, poop at work
Now it's time to release
Your new masterpiece
Hey man, burn down the machine
But keep that restroom clean
You poop at work

Hail consumer
Gizzards and livers
Back in stock again
Invisible hands wrench phantom levers
That's what runs this game
Team, it's time for
The Top of the Hour Rock
(Now: don't rock)
Relax consumer
The system is working
Exactly as it should
The shelves are stocked with inexpensive
Manufactured goods
Team, it's time for
The Top of the Hour Rock
(Now: don't rock)

Friends remember your birthday, okay
Friends help chase the burdens away
Friends will let you chill out
In your own private world
Friends will give you anything to stay
Friends remember your birthday I say
Friends are worried about you these days
Friends will come to see you
In your own private world
Friends, you they would never betray
Friends, you need about a dozen or three
Friends can make great alibis you see
Friends don't make rude comments
About your blood-splattered shirts
Friends don't talk to the authorities
Friends don't talk to the authorities

Orange President

Imagine this Orange President
Imagine your role in these End Times
Orange cracks in the firmament
Dig the orange paradigm
And the orange man can't sing the blues
But he can play the dog whistle it's true
And all the hounds from the local pounds
They all come growling around
He has an orange crush on himself
He doesn't trust anybody else
It's gonna be great, just you wait
Everything he does is first rate
Imagine this Orange President
Imagine some families in your hood
Now imagine where they went
You better shut up for your own good
For your own good
If you're an orange man with an orange hand
In an orange room, please understand
That you should just stay home
Yeah you should just stay home
Just stay home!
This is where our money went
He built an orange wall
Imagine this Orange President
And the part you played in the fall
In the fall...

Last Legs

Watch my tail lights zoom away
Two red points in the sunset
Somehow I made it through another day
I don't know how I do it
I'm heading to the salvage yard
And there's no way to deny it
I'm pissing on the boulevard
I'm a urologic riot
Goodbye goodbye
I'm on my last legs
All my other legs are gone
Ha ha ha ha
I'm on my last legs
And I don't have a leg to stand on
And nobody likes a whiner
And nobody wants to hear it
But if there's nothing finer
That would really crush my spirit
Goodbye goodbye
I'm on my last legs
All my other legs are gone
Ha ha ha ha
I'm on my last legs
And I don't have a leg to stand on
I got a date with a gravestone
Called "RIP"
Casting my last legs
My final bones
Into the mortuary
Goodbye goodbye
I'm on my last legs
All my other legs are gone
Ha ha ha ha
I'm on my last legs
And I don't have a leg to stand on
And I don't have a leg to stand on

This is my town, I'll show you around
Show you the remnants of us
The money's all gone, my friends have moved on
There's nothing left to discuss
A Taco Bell, Subway and a Shell
Churches and some liquor stores
I've come to believe that I should just leave
But I don't go outside any more
Please please please
Please turn out the lights
If you're the last to leave
We're covered in dust, encased in rust
We're buildings with dark window eyes
Our Golden Old Days get further away
I think this whole town's gonna die
No one's aware or perhaps they don't care
The system made sure we were toast
Burning up hope, considering dope
Trying to hang on to a ghost
Please please please
Please turn out the lights
If you're the last to leave
