Gimme Something

Well I knocked off, hung my boots up
And I'm never pulling them down
I decided, my world collided
With the worst people around
So gimme something, a little something
That I can hang my hat on
The only thing that keeps me going
Is the fact I'm not wrong
It's a sick joke, I saw it coming
I cast the line and took the bait
While I was busy, while I was running
I turned into what I hate

One million no shows, forgotten drop zones
The family doesn't visit nowadays
Holding the baby, got to be crazy
To think that things are ever gonna change
And I recall, as I retrace my steps
I've been here before, But what happens next?
Shotgun fever, with the bang bang bang
Guess it's Ladies night in Woomelang
Out in the main drag, printed in the local rag
You could shoot a cannon and never hit a soul
Donovan's towing service, could never hurt us
Thank god we found the rock 'n roll

Wall St
02:36

It has been said
That these are trying times
Put your house on it
But don't dare shut your eyes
And at the end
Of this complete mess up
I extend my hand
And wish you the best of luck
So lock and load, we're going to go
To the world's biggest party
Put on your dinner suit, those headkicking boots
Yeah we're crashing Wall Street
And now your stocks, are beginning to fall
And all your shares, are about to hit the wall
Ah huh, the time I needed you most,
Was the time that you went home
And now you say, things are back to normal
But how could that be? I've got to see this for myself

Your Party Sucks
01:47
|
|||
|
Your party sucks
And your music sucks
And your liquor sucks
It's all a bit too much, for little ol' me
And the barman got my order wrong
And the toilet line's a mile long
And the DJ's playing shit songs
Maybe I got the address wrong?
No your party sucks
And your women suck
And your craft beer sucks
It's all a bit too much, for little ol' me

Silo
02:09
|

|
5 AM roll outta bed, time to do this dance again
50 carts out on the track, 50 bucks straight in the back
Cricket's on the radio, B Double ready to unload
The mercury's hit 38
At the end of the horizon, a million dollar view
Business men are smiling, it's too good to be true
On a black and white television next to the railroad
I'll be sweating myself dry, down at the silo
Can you hear that driving beat?
Going on at break neck speed
That's what hammers in my head
That's what's making me go deaf
So don't go acting like it's clear
Like you've got any fucking idea
What's going on out in the west

The Judge
01:16

How did you get to be the judge?
Get to be the Boss?
Get to be the one, calling all the shots
In the one horsest of towns,
One road in and one road out
How did you get to be the mayor?
Sitting on a stool, holding all the cards
Making all the rules
There's no money there's no plan
It's just one of those things
That we'll never understand
How did you get to be the Sarge?
You never got a kick, yeah you had a little flair
And you like to have a drink
40 years have past, not a thing has changed
No one can remember, no one can explain
How you came to be The Judge
How did you get to be The Judge

Lenny The Shark

I got my house on Lenny The Shark
22 wins from 31 starts
200 thousand dollars on the nose
There was a time when I might've cared
About getting myself in the red
But I stopped caring a long, long time ago
Can you hear sound?
That's the sound of my heart breaking
I just think about the money I'm making
There for the taking now
Man I've lost count
Of the times I've bitten my tongue
Held the breathe escaping my lungs
Whenever you're around
Cause everyone I know
Is married or dead
There's no strings to this bow
I'll never get ahead
|

Do you remember 20 years ago
Everyone came out to the show
Target Market, happening scene
Retrospect whatever that means
Cause I can't recall what I'm doing this for
It's been so long, I can't remember anymore
Would you like to join me? In obscurity
Cause I don't know why I do this anymore
Now the rivals wanna know, why I'm saying I have to go
I'm tired of being up on that stage, trying to relive the glory days
Gone, yeah they're all gone
Time to move on, Time to move on

Here Forever
01:52
|
|||
|
I've been here forever, pouring your drinks with a smile
And hoping one day you'll remember my name
Yeah I've been here forever, walking the same old mile
And killing the time by counting the days
But I've been here forever, tying the loose ends together
And hoping nobody notices it
Cause I've been here forever, and I'll be here forever
So please don't make this worse than it already is
I've been here forever, keeping myself together
By doing the same shit over again
Yeah I've been here forever, and I'll be here forever
So please don't remind me who I should've been
