"The Riverside"

"The Riverside"


I can see you standing by that riverside
I can see you standing by that riverside
I see your younger face
I see your hair grown all-a-red
See you on chalky cliffs
The ocean breeze, you run against

Orpheus
Orpheus
Orpheus

I can see you standing by that open door
I can see you standing by that open door
See you on Roman roads
Aqueducts, matadors
See you on Moorish walls
Alhambra, Sevilla!

Sevilla
Sevilla
Sevilla

I can see you standing by that riverside
I can see you standing by that riverside
Wearing aviators
Sitting on stones in the Andalucian sun
Galaxy 500
Country tunes, travel to...

Cordoba

"The World Is Mine"

"The World Is Mine"


Well we went to the station
They were looking for vegas
But I was stuck in my Beat phase
Like it was 1959

They say the girls wanna hip-shake
They say the boys wanna ball-break
But we couldn't be bothered
Cause we're hipper than y'all

And everyday I resolve to say
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine

So will you give me salvation
Or a standing ovation
Cause I really deserve it
And so much more

The big kid in the magazines
You and me, we went to make the scene
But get your name, man
And tomorrow you'll be gone

So everyday I resolve to say
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine

But everyday I resolve to say
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine

The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine
The world is mine

Hey hey it's okay to
Make a little mess out of your life
'Cause you don't need a diagram

You don't need another burden

"Time Machine"

"Time Machine"


Sonny step right up into the time machine
we'll set the dial for 1983
To the DKs right down in Wilmington
Nightsticks swinging, tear gassed air turns green
In the time machine. Time machine!

We took our lumps and ran between the casualties
Buick full of bloddy rags, and black flag cassettes
I think I liked em better with Dez Cadenza.
Sonny are you still too cool? How did you like your day at school
In the time machine. Time machine

Put you in a time machine, put you in a time
machine see how you do.

"Torches And Pitchforks"

"Torches And Pitchforks"


We will fight you from the mountains
And we will fight you in the streets
And we will fight you in the valleys
You cannot take what isn't yours

And we will fight your goons and lawyers
And we will fight your Pinkertons
And we will fight your bought off Congressmen
You cannot take what isn't yours

[CHORUS:]
So la da da
Da da da da da da da
La da da da
Da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da

And we will take you from your mansions
We'll burn your towers to the ground
And you will reap the whirlwind that you've sown
You cannot take what isn't yours

[REPEAT CHORUS]

We will fight you from the mountains
And we will fight you in the streets
And we will fight you from the valleys
You cannot take what isn't yours

You cannot take what isn't yours

"Trials & Tribulations"

"Trials & Tribulations"


When your only girl betrayed you, boy
What did you do with your wisdom
Well you loved that girl again, loved that girl again
Now who you got to blame for your trials and tribulations
What did you do when you found the man
The one who stole your good girl
Well you cut him up and down, heard you cut him all around
Now who you got to blame for your trials and tribulations
Well I tried to tell you
But you run and hide
Down by the riverbed
Stay drunk all night
It weren't no lady
With scorpion
Well, you're just another rabbit on the run
When they dragged you to the courthouse, boy
What did you do with your wisdom
Well you cursed the judge again, cursed the judge again
Who you gonna blame for your trials and tribulations
Well I tried to tell you
But you run and hide
Down by the trestle bridge
With a .45
It weren't no lady
No, with scorpion
Well, you're just another rabbit on the run
You're just another rabbit on the run
You're just another rabbit on the run

"Truckload Of Art"

"Truckload Of Art"


A truckload of art from New York City
Was hauling a weighty load
The driver was singing,
the sunset was pretty
But the truck turned over and it rolled off the road
[CHORUS:]
Yeah the truckload of art, it's burning by the highway
Precious objects are scattered all over the ground
It's a terrible sight,
if a person were to see it
But there weren't nobody around
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
The driver went sailing high in the sky
Landed in the cold lap of the Lord
Who smiled and then said:
"Son, you're better off dead
Than hauling a truckload full of hot avant garde"
[REPEAT CHORUS]
[REPEAT HOOs]
Yeah some important artwork was thrown to the ground
Tragically landing in the weeds
And the smoke could be seen
from miles all around
But nobody knows what it means
[CHORUS:]
Yeah the truckload of art is burning near the highway
And a tough job for the highway patrol
Who'll soon see the smoke,
come running to poke
Dig an empty ditch throw the arts in a hole
[REPEAT HOOs]
[CHORUS:]
Yeah the truckload of art is burning near the highway
And it's raging far out of control
What the critics had cheered
is now shattered and queered
And theres no more reviews as it's strewed? on the road
[CHORUS:]
Yeah the truckload of art, it's burning by the highway
Precious objects are scattered all over the ground
It's a terrible sight,
if a person were to see it
But there weren't nobody around

"Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out With Me"

"Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out With Me"


Come on, turn on, tune in, drop out, with me
Baby you need a break so lets just run away
Well I'm tired of coding Perl, and I'm tired of VBA
Maggie throw your law books away
Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up, with me
Now picture this:
I'm shopping in town for our homemade agrarian fortress
You're texting: Corian, Granite, or Tile Kitchenette in the gun nest?
Well we will find a little meadow
high up in the Cascades
Baby we wont ever come down
Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up, with me
Turn on, tune in, drop out, with me
The whole things coming down
So lets just get out of the way
Well I'm not paranoid, there is no conspiracy
But I swear big brothers watching me
Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up, with me
So you're serving aperitifs to the local survivalist militia
In camouflage you're fine but the locals still call you Morticia
Well find a little meadow
high up in the Cascades
Baby we wont ever come down
Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up, with me
Buy a little cabin in the Adirondacks
Baby they'll never find us
Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up, with me
Hand stitch out tepee
Windy East Mojave
Watching for black helicopters
Turn on, tune in, drop out, give up, with me

"Up Against The Wall Redneck Mothers"

"Up Against The Wall Redneck Mothers"


He was born in Oklahoma
And his wife's name's is Betty Lou Thelma Liz
And he's not responsible for what he's doing
'Cause his mother made him what he is

[CHORUS:]
Up against the wall Redneck Mother
Mothers who has raised her son so well
He's 34 and drinking in some honky tonk
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell

He sure does likes his Falstaff beer
He likes to chase it down with that Wild Turkey liquor

He drives a '57 GMC pickup truck
He's got a gun rack, a "goat ropers need love" bumper sticker

[REPEAT CHORUS]

M is for mullet
O is for the Oil they put in your truck
T is for T-bird,
T is for wing-ed lizard
H is for Haggard
E is for eggs
R and is for...
Redneck

"Useless Stuff"

"Useless Stuff"


I'm so fucking sick
I'm the king of the world
I'm a genius of useless stuff
Some people they gotta work
Well I just hang around
Dreaming up useless stuff
So if I call you from time to time
I said my life is such a drag
I feel like a hag please shut me up
Girl would you like to live my life
And I'll be with you tonight
I'll be your useless stuff
Now everybody wants to be our friend
So we act real Zen
And hang around with movie stars
So if I call you from time to time
I said my life is such a drag
I feel like a hag, kick me in the ass
Girl would you like to live my life
And I'll be with you tonight
I'll be your useless stuff
Yeah, I'll be your useless stuff
Can I be your useless stuff?
