Waiting For The Bus

Waiting For The Bus



We got the mother and the kids
We got the guy and his date
We all get mad
We all get laid
Looks like somebody forgot about us
Standin on the corner
Waitin' for a bus
Say hey mister driver man
Don't be slow
Cause i got somewhere i got to go
Say hey mister driver man
Drive that thing fast
My precious time keep slippin' past
Lets call the mayor lets complain
Looks like the city's done to us again
Tied up in traffic what'ya know
The damn city bus moves so slow
I said hey mister driver man
Don't be slow
Cause i got somewhere i got to go
Say hey mister driver man
Drive that thing fast
My precious time keep slippin' past

Lies

Lies


Well i'm reading this poem
And it's so profound
And i like its rhythm
And i like its sound
It's by a very famous poet
No critic can criticise
And then i pause a moment
And i start to realize
He's tellin'
Lies lies lies
On the motel tv.
I dig the evangelist
He'll tell you all about that
And then he tell you all about this
He's preachin' up a storm
By the sea of galilee
He's mixin' up the truth
With something funny i start to see
He's tellin'
Lies lies lies
I never had this problem
With nobody in the government
I guess i always figured
They never mean what they meant
And god help us all
Not to be so stone surprised
When we wake up in the stars
With the skies in our eyes
If we keep tellin'
Lies lies lies

Ugly

Ugly



Crossed the path then i followed your face
It was hard to believe
It was hard to trace
I saw you today
Seems like i see you everyday
But there's something i figured out 'bout you
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
So ugly
I'm tellin' you strait
So ugly
Don't make a mistake
Cause your ugly
You could bet it on the bank
Say why why
Why would i lie to you
Why would i lie
Why would i lie
Your so ugly
All the time
Ugly
You ain't no friend of mine
Cause your ugly
You could bet it on the bank
Say why why
Why would i lie to you
Why would i lie
Why would i lie

When you smile or a frown
I'm so tired of you be'in around
Engaged in some sexual acts
We'll i'm just gonna have to tell you all the facts
What could that be about,
Well here's a clue
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah
So ugly
I'm tellin' you strait
So ugly
Don't make a mistake
Cause your ugly
I'm tellin' you that
I say why why
Why would i lie to you
Why would i lie
Why would i lie
Your so ugly
All the time
Ugly
You ain't no friend of mine
Ugly
You could bet it on the bank
Say why why
Why would i lie to you
Why would i lie
Why would i lie
Your so ugly
La la la la
So ugly....

Black Girls

Black Girls


I dig the black girls, oh so much more than the white girls.
I was so pleased to learn they were faster.
C'est, c'est, c'est vous i'm after.

All comes a faggot white boy.
Said look, look, look first kind of joy.
They come around so queer and quiet,
As i rebel and riot.

Shall i dig the white boys?
All so much more that the black boys.
I was so pleased to learn they're not smarter.
Go on, give, give, give it to me harder, harder, harder, just say harded.

You know i love the lord of hosts,
The father, son, and the holy ghost.
I was so pleased to learn that he's inside me
In my time of trouble he will hide me.

I dig the black girls.
I dig the black girls.
I dig the black girls.

Children Of The Revolution

Children Of The Revolution


You can bump and grind.
Have a good time.
You can twist and shout.
Let it all hang out,
But you won't fool the children of the revolution.
No you won't fool the children of the revolution.

You can tell a plane, in the falling rain.
I gotta rolls royce,
Cause its good for my voice,
But you won't fool the children of the revolution.
No you won't fool the children of the revolution.

You can bump and grind.
Feeling fine.
You can twist and shout.
Knock yourself out, but you won't fool the children of the revolution.
No you won't fool the children of the revolution.
No you can't fool the children of the revolution.
No you won't fool the children of the revolution.
No you can't fool the children of the revolution.
No you won't fool the children of the revolution.

You can bump and grind, have a good time.
You can bump and grind, have a good time.

Bump and grind, have a good time.

Breakin' Hearts

Breakin' Hearts



ee that girl
She put me in a whirl
She's got a way of breakin' hearts
Man o man
I wonder if i can
She's got a way of breaking hearts
Seems like she is always
Workin' on the sly
Then she tells her poor man
Good bye
Holy smoke
I wonder if there's hope
She's got a way of breakin' hearts
I will not tarry
I'm askin' her to marry me
Even though she's got a way of
Breakin' hearts

Good Friend

Good Friend


If only you could know
How i'd love you so
The way good friends do
The way i would be you
And me too, i'd be your
Good friend, i'd be your
Good friend, i'd be your
Good friend
That's what i would've been
Oh but everytime i turn around
My heart's on the mend
These feelings i have
I have to suspend
Seems like everytime i turn around
My heart's on the mend
Because i don't think you want me
To be your good friend
Yesterday is a laugh
And the traumas slip past
And i don't think
That i'll be doing a lot of crying
But i'll sure do my share of sighing
I would have been your...

Heartache

Heartache



Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
I know nobody ever taught you
How to dance like that
Nobody ever taught you
How to dance like that
Nobody ever taught me
How to dance like that
Heartache---too late
And i gotta get up
Heartache---too late
And i gotta get up
Heartache---too late
And i gotta get up
I know
I been workin' twenty-five hours a day
I don't want to live this way
Five and a half weeks with one day off
Stop the train i'm getting off

Good Feeling

Good Feeling



Good feeling
Won't you stay with me just a little longer
It always seems like your leaving
When i need you here just a little longer
Dear lady there's so many things
That i have come to fear
Little voice says i'm going crazy
To see all my worlds disappear
Vague sketch of a fantasy
Laughing at the sunrise
Like he's been up all night
Ooo slippin and slidin
What a good time but now
Have have to find a bed
That can take this wait
Good feeing
Won't you say stay with me just a little longer
It always seems like your leaving
When i know the other one
Just a little too well
Oh dear lady
Won't you stay with me just a little longer
Y'know it always seems like your leaving
When i need you here just a little longer

I Hear The Rain

I Hear The Rain



I hear the rain. i hear the rain.
I hear the rain.
Got to kill the pain.
I hear the rain. i hear the rain.
I hear the rain.
Got to kill the pain.

Burry me out on a lone prarie.
Prarie water washin' over me.
Burry me out on a lone prarie.
A friend who calls a coyote.

Burry me out in the lone city.
Sewer water color of my tea.
Burry me out in the lone city.
Sewer water wash we all down to sea.


She use to sit and watch and wait.
Now i think i'll go and sit.
