Well, I can't wait for the noon o'clock whistle
I'm gonna maw down on some beans and some gristle
Workin' this job for way too little pay
I need a little something to help make it through the day
Yeah, I'm headed out to the parking lot
And I don't give a damn if it's legal or not
I know we won't get caught
'cause we're just listenin'
We're just listenin' to the radio
We're listenin' to the radio
We're listenin' to the radio
We're listenin' to the radio
Well, I can't wait for the four o'clock bell
I'm gonna tell that foreman to go to hell!
I got a garden full of weeds growin' way out back
And it draws like a pencil give you a heart attack
Yeah, I'm headed out to the parking lot
And I don't give a damn if it's legal or not
I know we won't get caught
'cause we're just listenin'
We're just listenin' to the radio
We're listenin' to the radio
We're listenin' to the radio

Headed out to the parking lot

I know we won't get caught
'cause we're just listenin'
We're just listenin' to the radio
We're listenin' to the radio
We're listenin' to the radio
We're listenin' to the radio
Well, I can't wait for the midnight whistle
I'm feelin' fine and I don't want to fizzle
Oh man, these girls in the club are hot!
A brunette grabs my hand and we're
Headed out to the parking lot
And I don't give a damn if it's legal or not
I know we won't get caught
'cause we're just listenin'
We're just listenin' to the radio
We're listenin' to the radio
We're listenin' to the radio
We're listenin' to the radio

Hell on wheels
05:01
|
|||
Hell on wheels was the king of the ramblin' kid's
Hangin' around downtown Santa Cruz
I didn't know him well but he liked the way we sang
In the morning light
It didn't take much for to chase away our blues
Well, I'm a headin' out west, interstate 80 bound
I'm gonna play my music for the creatures of the sea
I've got a new guitar and a big blue Cavalier
And I've got a wild eyed woman riding shotgun next to me
You know that Hell on wheels was the king of the Ramblin' kid's
Hangin' around downtown Santa Cruz
You know I didn't know him well but he liked the way we sang
In the morning light
It didn't take much for to chase away our blues
I've got a real good friend comin' down on an Amtrack train
She'll be knockin' on my door at five o'clock in the morn'
You know the more things change the more they stay the same
And you know she ain't the same as the day that she was born
Hell on wheels was the king of the Ramblin' kid's
Just a hangin' around downtown Santa Cruz
Lord, I didn't know him well but he liked the way we sang
In the morning light
It didn't take much for to chase away our blues
You know what mama?
I might just have to pack my bags and get on out of town
Yeah man, load down the car and get on out of here
But you know, as long as they've got free beer and hot wings and whiskey and cool people to hang out with
You know I might just go ahead and hang on around here instead
I don't care man, we're just gonna rock and roll, you know what I mean
Hell on wheels was the king of the Ramblin' kid's
Just a Hangin' around downtown Santa Cruz
Lord, You know I didn't know him well but he liked the way we sang
In the morning light
It didn't take much for to chase away our blues
You know Hell on wheels was the king of the Ramblin' kid's
Hangin' around downtown Santa Cruz
I didn't know him well but he liked the way we sang
In the morning light
It didn't take much for to chase away our blues
Lord, you know It didn't take much for to chase away our blues

Music teacher
03:22

The music teacher told me
that I had to write a love song for you, baby
But do you know what?
The truth is that I hate your guts!
But do you know what?
The truth is that I hate your
I could lie and tell you baby
That you bring sunshine to an overcast and cloudy day
How I long to kiss your lips
Sweep you off your feet and take your breath away
Oh, but that would be a lie
And liars go to hell
But I digress and I must confess I'm under duress and
It's just as well
You know that the music teacher told me
that I had to write a love song for you, baby
But do you know what?
The truth is that I hate your guts!
But do you know what?
The truth is that I hate your
I'm sure when you were in biology class you learned about single celled organisms known as paramecium's who propelled themselves with these tiny hairlike structures known as cilia
Well baby, if you measured the aforementioned cilia belonging to the paramecium's and divided it by the square root of negative pi it would still be greater than the distance I'd be willing to travel to put you out if you were on fire
I don't like you and I just can't stand you
You know the music teacher told me
that I had to write a love song for you, baby
But do you know what?
The truth is that I hate your guts!
But do you know what?
The truth is that I can't stand you
You make my skin crawl
I loathe you
Bum bum bum............
You know I just freakin' hate you
She told me to write a love song
But I hate your guts!
Truth is, I hate your guts

I keep on marchin' down the highway
and I keep on truckin' on down the line
I'm lookin' for answer's to my question's pretty mama
Tryin' to find sweet piece of mind
I'm tryin' to find my piece of mind
If I told you all the things that I thought you wanted to hear
I'm afraid my message might fall empty
And your love would disappear
I keep on marchin' down the highway
and I keep on truckin' on down the line
I'm lookin' for answer's to my question's pretty mama
Tryin' to find sweet piece of mind
I'm tryin' to find my piece of mind
If I told you I was lonely would you please stay with me tonight
I'd give you restitution from your solitude
You know I would give your heart respite
If you would just hold me in your arms tonight
And I keep on marchin' down the highway
and I keep on truckin' on down the line
I'm lookin' for answer's to my question's pretty mama
Tryin' to find sweet piece of mind
I'm tryin' to find my piece of mind
Baby I don't know where I'm going to
Or just what I'm gonna do
The whole world could come a crumblin' down at my feet as long as you're there beside me too
As long as you'll hold me and you'll see me through
I keep on marchin' down the highway
and I keep on truckin' on down the line
I'm lookin' for answer's to my question's pretty mama
Tryin' to find sweet piece of mind
I'm tryin' to find my piece of mind
And I'm tryin' to find
Tryin' to find
Tryin' to find
Tryin' to find
Tryin' to find my sweet piece of mind
I keep on marchin' down the highway
and I keep on truckin' on truckin' on truckin' on down the line
I'm lookin' for answer's to my question's pretty mama
Tryin' to find sweet piece of mind
I'm tryin' to find my piece of mind
My sweet piece of mind

I've got the keys to the city
Lord, I've got the keys to the city
Hellbent for leather on a one way ticket, yeah
With the wind in my hair and the sun in my shades and a whole lot of road to the rear
Bubububaby I'm a revvin' up the motor and the RPM's and I'm a shiftin' into second gear
And I'm gone, gone I'm outa here
I've got the keys to the city
Lord, I've got the keys to the city
Hellbent for leather on a one way ticket, yeah
I tell you one thing, two thing, three thing, four it's a miracle I'm still alive
Vanity it leads me to insanity but I never could resist the jive
Death is a woman with a tall glass of bourbon for sure
Give me a double shot, Baby!
I've got the keys to the city
Lord, I've got the keys to the city
I'm hellbent for leather on a one way ticket, yeah

Blue top mountain
05:00

I know the land where the barley meets the brain can be an intoxicating place
And when white lightning strikes I see the lines of age across your face
love, I've seen young men die up on Blue Top Mountain and the women they suffer so much worse
They say it's a joy to live on Blue Top Mountain but I'm tellin' you it ain't nothin' but a curse
Nothin' but a
Is it really reefer madness?
Addictions a path to sadness
Is it really reefer madness?
Addictions a path to sadness
Said I knew a boy and he could rule the world someday
But you know little Mr. Popularity done and came and stole his life away
And now chemical dependency it's the twisting of a knife
And he tries so hard to pick up the pieces of what's left of his shattered life
And I've seen young men die up on Blue Top Mountain and the women they suffer so much worse
Love, they say it's a joy to live on Blue Top Mountain but I'm tellin' you it ain't nothin' but a curse
Nothin' but a
Is it really reefer madness?
Addictions a path to sadness
Is it really reefer madness?
Addictions a path to sadness
I knew a girl, she was smarter than a whip
But you know little Ms. Popularity done and came and pulled her away for a dope ass trip
And now retroactive virus passing hypodermic needles unprotected sex and you know that kills
And she cries so hard in the night trying to figure out just who her baby daddy is
I've seen young men die up on Blue Top Mountain and the women they suffer so much worse
You know they say it's a joy to live on Blue Top Mountain but I'm tellin' you it ain't nothin' but a curse
Nothin' but a
Is it really reefer madness?

Every once in awhile
05:02
|
|||
I was there when GOD created the world and I saw that it was good
HE said my boy won't you follow the light and I asked him why the hell I should
Seen cities rise and I've seen them fall you might just say that I done seen it all
And I don't know if I've got the strength of mind to answer the call
Every once in awhile I start to believe
There's a heaven above and a hell beneath
Get what you give take what you receive
Every once in awhile I start to believe
I was there when they took my LORD JESUS CHRIST up to that awful place
They told him to CRY OUT but he wouldn't say squat even the look on HIS face couldn't change their evil ways
Been the victim of my own sin and it's nice to know that I'm forgiven
for all those dirty little deeds I've done again and again and again
Every once in awhile I start to believe
There's a heaven above and a hell beneath
Get what you give take what you receive
Every once in awhile I start to believe
Faith without work is dead and that's just what the good book says
and I don't how long I gotta emphasize and not dramatize it
to get it right through your head
And if you got more pew time then you've got do time
You've got a problem that you really need to solve
cause pretty mama all things in this world are either gonna perish or evolve
Every once in awhile I start to believe
There's a heaven above and a hell beneath
Get what you give take what you receive
Every once in awhile I start to believe
Tonight tonight
We're gonna rock it all the way to Mount Zion
Tonight tonight
Tonight tonight
We're gonna rock it all the way to Mount Zion
Every once in awhile I start to believe
There's a heaven above and a hell beneath
Get what you give take what you receive
Every once in awhile I start to believe
Cause I believe in GOD
Cause I believe in LOVE
Cause I believe in GOD
And I believe in LOVE
I believe in you
I believe in you
I believe in GOD
LOVE
And you!

Girl you want me to be
05:31
|
|||
Woke up early this mornin' turned the light on
It started out normally enough
Poured a little sugar into my coffee
And I flexed for the mirror and shouted in a voice so gruff
Please don't hate me when it's over
Cause it's not the outside that's been killin' me
How can they judge us when it's not their cross to bear?
I guess I'm not the girl you wanted me to be
I guess I'm not the girl you wanted me to be
I'm not the girl and she's not the guy
No I'm not the girl she's not the guy
So how can I just throw it all out there?
And say precisely what I mean to say
If you think that this is some bizarre agenda that I've been pressing for
Forgive the feelings as they eclipse the way
Please don't hate me when it's over
Cause it's not the outside that's been killin' me
How can they judge us when it's not their cross to bear
I guess I'm not the girl you wanted me to be
I guess I'm not the girl you wanted me to be
I'm not the girl and she's not the guy
No I'm not the girl she's not the guy
So please reserve your judgements
And keep your hateful feelings to yourself
Lest you incite my fury as a wrath of indignation, Honey
And I am forced to leave my religion on a shelf
Please don't hate me when it's over
Cause it's not the outside that's been killin' me
How can they judge us when it's not their cross to bear
I guess I'm not the girl you wanted me to be
I guess I'm not the girl you wanted me to be
I'm not the girl and she's not the guy
No I'm not the girl she's not the guy

Mortified
08:32
|
|||
Can we take the prophets at the value of their faces
as we spin 'round on the Earth
Do we dare to dream the impossible dream, yeah
maybe one day find the sense of our self-worth
People may change like the seasons
Friends may come and friends may go
But regardless of the reasons
You know we're mortified of that which we don't know
We don't know
You mortify me my dear
You petrify me my love
You mortify me my dear
You petrify me my love
Your love's got me mortified
Your love's got me petrified
My love for you won't end as long as
you remain my friend in the end
Can we take tomorrow as if it's gonna come
With the breaking of the dawn
Or are we cursed to live as if tonight is our last night on Earth
Come tomorrow we'll be gone
People may change like the seasons
Friends may come and friends may go
But regardless of the reasons
You know we're mortified of that which we don't know
We don't know
You mortify me my dear
You petrify me my love
You mortify me my dear
You petrify me my love
Your love's got me mortified
Your love's got me petrified
My love for you won't end as long as
you remain my friend in the end
Can we take love for what it says it is
with an iota of its truth
Or are our jaded hearts to busy livin' in the past that all
our future lovers require the burden of proof
People may change like the seasons
Friends may come and friends may go
But regardless of the reasons
You know we're mortified of that which we don't know
we don't know
You mortify me my dear
You petrify me my love
You mortify me my dear
You petrify me my love
Your love's got me mortified
Your love's got me petrified
My love for you won't end as long as
you remain my friend in the end

Zombie killer
Zombie killer
Zombie killer
Zombie gonna die
Gonna die
Zombie gonna die
Well it's twenty one twelve it's the end of the world
Every good American boy better grab your girl
If you're a girl grab your guy here's mud in your eye
I got one thing to say you zombies better die
You better run, run while you still can
Or find yourself chillin' with the son of man
in truth he's the only one who can bind you to the promised land
Zombie killer
Zombie killer
Zombie killer
Zombie gonna die
Zombie gonna die
Zombie gonna die
I've got a grenade launcher on my Tommy Gun
And all you little zombies out there better run
This is an invasion on American soil
Does it have to do with GOD does it have to do with oil
No it's gold they want it's gold they'll get
If you step to these you're gonna live to regret
When you bow before false idols and the servants of set
Your gonna get your guts pumped full of lead
Zombie killer
Zombie killer
Zombie killer
Zombie gonna die
Zombie gonna die
Zombie gonna die
Die Die Die Da Die
Die Die Die Da Die
