Woke up this morning wrong side of the bed Needed some breakfast, but I was all out of eggs Made a run to the store to pick up some food Got into a fistfight, the damn cashier was rude But then it turned out the cashier was a chick Goddamn this town, indistinguishable hicks Well, needless to say I had my rights read Got thrown in the clink, never got my eggs Where did I start? Where am I going? Where have I been and where am I now? What do I want? What do I need? What do I have? I can't figure this out Was I ever born? Did I ever live? Will I ever die? Am I already dead? I didn't ask for a night in the can All I wanted out of this was a plateful of eggs Well then the next evening I went down to the pub My whistle was dry, but then I got snubbed By an old ex of mine who was with her new man So I took my old knife to the tires of her van I wanted the reaction, so I waited outside That wasn't the first time I made the bitch cry Well, the cops came again and said "oh no, not you" They took me away, I never got my booze Where did I start? Where am I going? Where have I been and where am I now? What do I want? What do I need? What do I have? I can't figure this out I keep on losing track of the score Can never tell if I win or I lose I didn't ask for a night behind bars All I wanted out of this was a bottle of booze This routine ain't new to me Get drunk, fuck up, act all tough Piss someone off and leave in handcuffs Courtrooms get so old to me Just give me my slap on the wrist Tell me to be good and shit I'll wave goodbye and tell you this "See you again in a little bit" It's been a few weeks now and I'm still in jail Guess this was the last straw, couldn't make bail These charges keep piling up, I've got some hefty fines I won't be able to afford, so I'll be doing some time Yeah I'll be doing some time Doing some time for a plateful of eggs Yeah I'll be doing some time Doing some time for a bottle of booze Yeah I'll be doing some time Doing some time for a plateful of eggs Yeah I'll be doing some time Doing some time for a bottle of booze

On the bed of a pickup truck was where we met You were wearing a little black & yellow sundress Talking to a friend and bitchin' bout the democrats "Who the hell are you" was the first thing you said to me Followed by "and what are you staring at?" I gotta admit I wasn't quite expecting that I didn't think you'd see me hiding in the trees With the binoculars and the plastic canteen And I know you probably got a boyfriend and he could kick my ass But I know that I could kick yours, so get out of those drawers C'mon now Well now that the jig was up, I figured I Might as well stand up, wave and say "Hi How ya doin' beautiful, you wanna fuck Right here on the bed of this pickup truck?" Well that was the moment I walked to where you were You slapped me in the face and spat on my shirt Your friend, she said "What the hell is wrong with you?" I said "Where are my manners, you can get in on this too And I know you probably got a boyfriend and he could kick my ass But I know that I could kick yours, so get out of those drawers C'mon now, chop chop I haven't got all day, both of you now" Now that I had you backed into a wall You feigned fear and gave me a swift kick in the balls You hopped into your truck and hauled ass down the road But I wrote down your plate number an hour ago

Whenever she came to the bar, she fell into everybody’s view We all dropped what we were doing, and whoever we were talking to It’s true, she was a married woman, but that stopped no one We’d all line up in droves for an opportunity to get some And it’s not like we fancied her personally or anything She was a parasite, a snob, a bitch, a liar, thief and an idiot But it’s not like we were striving for a commitment at all We just wanted to fuck what little brains she had out of her skull And interestingly we all enjoyed the company of her man Infact some of us even considered ourselves close personal friends with him But the guilt was overwhelmingly overcome by lust For this slut with the heart-shaped butt, and the plump double-D cups And although she was a sleazy, dirty, horrid little tease It was a mission like no other to get her on her hands and knees So one night when she came to the bar, I decided to make my move And I popped a quarter in the jukebox and threw on this badass groove Oh woman, gonna take you for a ride Oh woman, gonna make it last all night I strolled over to the bar with a cocky grin across my face And “what’s a lovely lady like you doing in this wretched place?” Or some variant, I uttered. I should have stood no chance But my confidence was oozing, I just knew that I’d be in her pants And so we danced a little while til she suggested her place It turns out that her man was on a business trip in Salt Lake So we headed to her house where she fixed us each a couple drinks And a half an hour later, we were making out and stripped down Well her lips, and her hips, and her tits, and her grip On my dick was like nothing I’d experienced before or since We went at it like dogs until the morning sun came up Slept through the entire day until I’d finally woken up At 5-motherfucking PM, I guess I ain’t working today On my way out the door, she had a suspicious grin across her face I figured that it meant something so first thing the next day I took a trip to get tested, and it turns out I got aids Oh woman, you took me for a ride Oh woman, you know that shit ain’t right Oh woman, you really did it good this time Oh woman, you fucked up my whole life

Well I went out for a walk last night I didn’t feel right I sorted through everything on my mind And I realized That I’m alive, I’m alive It’s a pretty good day to be alive, yeah I stepped right up to the edge and cried As my entire life flashed before my eyes It’s a damn good day to be alive But it’s an even better day to die As I walked, I recounted my life I’ve had a hell of a time But I think it’s time to leave this all behind And enter the other side Cause I’m alive, I’m alive It’s a pretty good day to be alive, yeah I’m alive, I’m alive It’s a damn good day to be alive But it’s an even better day to die Now there’s no need for anyone to cry Everything’s fine And did you notice that this whole song rhymes? Including this line Well I’m alive, I’m alive It’s a pretty good day to be alive, yeah I’m alive, I’m alive It’s a damn good day to be alive But it’s an even better day to die

Oh, My Mind 03:28
Oh, my mind is tearing up and going blind Oh, my mind has been hung up and left to dry Oh, my mind has been cast out and left behind Oh, my mind, I hope somebody finds it before I die Someone tried to say something to me I couldn't hear, his lips I couldn't read I guess my brain is going for a ride Something different better happen soon before I lose my fucking mind Oh, my mind is tearing up and going blind Oh, my mind has been hung up and left to dry Oh, my mind has been cast out and left behind Oh, my mind, I hope somebody finds it before I die Clear a path, give me some room to breathe Help open my eyes so I can see I wonder who the hell is next in line I hope someone changes the channel soon before I lose my fucking mind Oh, my mind is tearing up and going blind Oh, my mind has been hung up and left to dry Oh, my mind has been cast out and left behind Oh, my mind, I hope somebody finds it before I die

It's hard to get people to see what you've seen Even mentally More frustrating than a book you can't read And nobody knows exactly where you're coming from There's always some details exclusive to you They try to understand and say it happens to everyone But it's no use, there's no use Until you walk a mile in somebody else's shoes There's no reflection It's hard to find genuine dreamers of dreams They're in the seams Waiting for someone to see what they've seen And nobody knows exactly where you're coming from There's always some details exclusive to you They try to understand and say it happens to everyone But it's no use, there's no use Until you walk a mile in somebody else's shoes There's no reflection It's hard to fight demons that inflict disease Into the weak Stranger in body and mind than it seems And nobody knows exactly where you're coming from There's always some details exclusive to you They try to understand and say it happens to everyone But it's no use, there's no use Until you walk a mile in somebody else's shoes There's no reflection

My woman's got big ole lips My woman's got big ole eyes My woman's got big ole tits And she's got them big ole thighs She's got a big belly too That she loves to fill with pizza and beer The only other way that she can be pleased She needs atleast 10 inches of meat She's a queen size size queen She only loves the biggest part of me The only problem that I should've foreseen Whenever she leaves my house, there's nothing left to eat My woman's got a big ole bush She never ever trims or shaves My woman's got a big ole ass It could block out the sun for days She's got a big ole heart too The sweetest thing in the world But she needs a big ole manpipe More than any other girl She's a queen size size queen She only loves the biggest part of me The only problem that I should've foreseen Whenever she leaves my house, there's nothing left to eat

Who do you think would win in a fight Between Porky Pig and Elmer Fudd? And who should be the guest referee Between Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck? Well, it’s all hypothetical, just a weird mental Discussion between you and me I’m not being judgmental, it’s inconsequential In fact it means jack shit to me What do you think would happen if Oscar The Grouch won the lottery? Would he move out and buy a big house Or just continue living in poverty? Well, it’s all hypothetical, just a weird mental Discussion between you and me I’m not being judgmental, it’s inconsequential In fact it means jack shit to me How do you think you’d commit suicide If you came down to that decision? I don’t mean to imply that you’d like to die I’m just curious of your chosen method Well, it’s all hypothetical, just a weird mental Discussion between you and me I’m not being judgmental, it’s inconsequential In fact it means jack shit to me

Gave into her seduction And she stabbed me in the leg She grabbed a folder from my bag That contained important documents Can’t find my phone or my money But I found a pile of one dollar bills Found a phone that looked just like mine But discovered it wasn’t after navigating through it We are the girls We are the world We are the girls We are the world Turns out the documents were planted on me and fake She was fired from her agency All I ended up with was a gash on my leg Molly saw the whole thing happen And all she did was laugh at me I said “I’ll kick your ass, Molly Even if you’re 2 feet taller than me” We are the girls We are the world We are the girls We are the world

My best friend sold guns out of the trunk of his car And he told me you can make some money giving oral on the street And I don’t seem to know how to drive anymore And whenever I am being chased, It’s like I’m in quicksand I cannot hear the banjo in the back And you can’t hear the banjo in the back No one can hear the banjo in the back Because there is no banjo in the back Rocky Balboa screamed “I’m proud of ya, Paulie” And I vomited piano keys all over the floor And I pissed on a Macho Man Randy Savage poster And I had to catch my guinea pigs from falling out of their cage I cannot hear the banjo in the back And you can’t hear the banjo in the back No one can hear the banjo in the back Because there is no banjo in the back I cannot hear the banjo in the back And you can’t hear the banjo in the back No one can hear the banjo in the back Because there is no banjo in the back

Your Name 03:39
Hey, it’s okay We’ll run away through the night I’ll take you away to that far away place Where insanity lays and mind games will be played And we’ll carve out our names in the trees, we will stay Out under the stars until the break of day It’s okay We’ll wash away the disguise I’ll turn away and walk back to the place Where it began that day when the two of us laid And I’m still not ashamed we had nothing to say But much to my dismay I forgot your name I’m not in love I’m not in love with you I’m not in love I just want to do bad things to you Yes it’s true Don’t know what to do without you And until the day when you come back my way I’ll just lay wide awake and my mind will just race Run all over the place til it all goes away And maybe by then I’ll remember your name
12.
Saved 04:37
She took me in Out from the night She brought me in And she saved my life And never before that night Did I ever believe I Could survive Now I owe her my life The only reason that I Stand here tonight She let me in Into her life She brought me in Yeah she saved my life The end of it all began The day that I showed my hand Out in the open I couldn’t believe my eyes The words that escaped my mind Were better left unspoken She broke me in I never asked why She wore me thin But that is alright She took me in Out from the night She brought me in Yeah she saved my life She broke me in I never asked why She wore me thin But that is alright

Locked On 03:02
Gonna take a stroll down the street tonight Gonna scope some targets I’d like to make mine You know I’m watching, you know I’m watching Hey little girl, sitting over there I’m pretty sure I caught your eye In your own world, flinging back your hair I got you in my sights Locked on Well I don’t really like blondes that much anyway Oh there’s a red fox that’ll make delicious prey You know I’m watching, you know I’m watching Hey little girl, standing over there Should it be your place or mine? I’ll rock your world, and turn back your hair I got you dead to rights Locked on Hey little girl, sitting over there I’m pretty sure I caught your eye In your own world, flinging back your hair I got you in my sights Locked on

You're standing by the fence With that short little skirt What do you think you're doing besides Teasing me, you should be pleasing me The way that those hips sway And the way that your face radiates Is more than enough to send a man to insanity land Oh baby Oh baby, what I'd do To you Oh honey Oh honey, what I'd do To you My imagination is doing things To me I shouldn't even mention I can't even believe That this is coming from me Oh god, I don't know how to resist The urge to throw you on the ground And rip you apart Until the sun comes out Oh baby Oh baby, what I'd do To you Oh honey Oh honey, what I'd do To you

I awoke in my car parked on the side of the road on an on-ramp right next to the old sewing mill where my grandmother used to work I had no recollection of what happened that day that led up to this, or even the day before perhaps, it's all a blur I couldn't have even told you what day of the week it was Anyway, I was completely naked, which didn't help with the whole confusion factor My ex-girlfriend happened to be driving by, and pulled over to check on me I don't remember anything she said, but I do remember breaking into tears probably from the humiliation from a combination of my situation and the fact that I had no explanation Everything's groovy, everything's great Everything's terrific, everything's ok Everything's fantastic, everything's fine Everything's splendid, everything's sublime I stumble out of the bar, in a futile effort to locate my car. I don't even think I drove here, now that I think of it. I could call a cab, but I don't have any cash I just dumped the last of my last unemployment check into the booze I drowned myself in I don't know if it's ironic or idiotic that I was actually celebrating the milestone of getting my final check by pissing it all away to get piss drunk. Probably the former. Well, either way I've got quite the long walk now but it atleast gives me some time to think about how to tell my kids that they're not gonna be able to eat for a week. Everything's rosy, everything's good Everything's copacetic, as it should Everything's wonderful, everything's nice Everything's awesome, everything's alright Ugh, Christ I don’t know how the fuck I do this Every morning I wake up and I pretty much just gotta put a gun to my stomach Just to drag myself up Everything's Dandy, everything's sweet Everything's Amazing, everything's complete Everything's Fabulous, everything's grand Everything's Incredible, everything's in hand

Have you ever had a conversation with Joe Piscopo? I did Let’s just say I’ve never been the same and I would not wish that upon anybody Not even to my worst enemy The guy’s fucking nuts and it shows on his face with his wide eyes and his fucked up delivery I went insane I live in the psychiatric ward now That’s what happens to anyone who’s had a conversation with Joe Piscopo I have to cry myself to sleep now I can’t count, and I can’t read anymore I thought those were things you could never lose That’s what happens to anyone who’s had a conversation with Joe Piscopo And now I’m digging my way out I’ve got a spoon, I’m digging through the wall It might take me a long good goddamn time to accomplish this goal But fuck it, I’ve got all the time in the world What the hell do I have to do in a psychiatric ward? I’ve got no big projects I’ve just gotta keep my eye on the guy with the straight jacket I know my day will come I know my day will come I’ll make it home again I’ll spread my arms under the rain like the guy from Shawshank Redemption And I’ll be twice as relieved Cause my mind is free and I talked to Joe Piscopo in my past I can count how many people could say that on my ass On my ass!
