You can't make up anything anymore. The world itself is a satire. All you're doing is recording it.

There is a place in this world for satire, but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry toward religious beliefs... begins.

The satirist who writes nothing but satire should write but little - or it will seem that his satire springs rather from his own caustic nature than from the sins of the world in which he lives.

Wait Any More
Written by: myles goodwyn
Youre a restless girl
To drive a man insane
With the same old story
You play the same old games
You could always make it easy
But there was no way out
If you want, just say that youre sorry
But theres nothing you can do without
So give a little and take a little for nothing
Show a little and make it something exciting
I just wont take it any more
Im not gonna wait anymore
I just wont take anymore take anymore take anymore from you
Im not gonna wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore
Another restless moment
Another runaround
Almost picture perfect
But no life can be found
Wont you make it easy
So we can play for keeps
Under pressure for the moment
Dont you know what everyone can see
So give a little and take a little for nothing
Show a little and make it something exciting
Ill tell ya
Im not gonna take anymore take anymore from you
I just wont wait anymore I swear this love is through
Im not gonna take anymore take anymore from you
I just wont wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore
So give a little and take a little for nothing
Show a little and make it something exciting
Ill tell ya
I just wont take anymore
I just wont take anymore
Im not gonna take anymore take anymore from you
Im not gonna wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore
Im not gonna take anymore take anymore from you
Im not gonna wait anymore wait anymore from you
Im not gonna take anymore take anymore take anymore take anymore
Im not gonna wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore

Not bad anymore
Not bad anymore,
not bad anymore is the world today,
I think and realise this world is very hard,
Living up and down,
Waking and failings,
For the world is bad,
But with knowledge it will improve,
It is a bad world with lack of metaphysics,
Not bad anymore is doing all that is right,
I think I perceive all given,
Then I realised that the world is not bad anymore with good done,
Our souls should be far beyond intelligence.

If I Could
I dont believe you know
What youre talking bout
I dont believe youd go
And ever find out for yourself
Always got a lot to say
Well Im not listening anyway
Im not listening anyway
If I could
Make the world a little better
You know I would
Make the world a little better
I dont believe you care
About the consequences
I dont believe you share
In what you know we know is true
Turning keys and locking doors
I wont accept that anymore
Wont accept that anymore
If I could
Make the world a little better
You know I would
Make the world a little better
I dont believe you know
About the hearts youve broken
I dont believe you show
What your intentions really are
Can you hear
What have you done
Theres not enough for everyone
Not enough for everyone
If I could
Make the world a little better
You know I would
Make the world a little better

I Ain't Got Time Anymore
Got no time to stop to speak to friends passing by
Got no strength to wipe away the tears from my eyes
I don't care what's going on
Only know she's gone
The sun don't shine anymore
And I don't feel fine anymore
She ain't mine anymore
No, I don't feel fine anymore
I Ain't got time anymore
Seems to be such sadness in each place I go
The people laugh and still I just wouldn't know
Never stop to see who's there
Once I used to care
But the sun don't shine anymore
I don't feel fine anymore
She ain't mine anymore
No, I don't feel fine anymore
I Ain't got time anymore
I can't get use to being left on my own
It takes up all the time just trying to be alone
Used to take an interest in the state of affairs
Now I only know how much I'm missing that girl
Hope the world will understand
I can't lend a hand
Cause she ain't mine anymore
I don't feel fine anymore
She ain't mine anymore
No, I don't feel fine anymore
Ain't got time anymore
She ain't mine anymore
I don't feel fine anymore
Ain't got time anymore
She ain't mine anymore
No, I don't feel fine anymore

Satire is fascinating stuff. It's deadly serious, and when politics begin to break down, there is a drift towards satire, because it's the only thing that makes any sense.

The History of Now
The recording of culture is history;
but our culture is more than that.
It's the world of human action,
and the myths we make of the fact.
The recording of history is culture,
but our history is more than that.
It informs a hidden agenda.
Unconscious of motive we act.
It's the history of now, the history of now.
It's only the present that exists as endowed.
It's the history of now. The moment - KAPOW!
That knocks you right over and muddies your brow.
Through the prism of language, we know what we know.
We carry our baggage and stories of woe.
Victor and vanquished pride cannot budge,
the dead weight of hatred and ancestral grudge.
We fight our good fights with our hand on our heart;
the music is swelling as loved ones depart.
As sheep to the slaughter, the script cannot chart,
a course more ignoble: the propagandist's art.
The recording of history is culture,
but our culture is more than that.
More than the great individuals,
the scholars so love in their tracts.
The recording of culture is history;
but our history is more than that.
Not simple dates or statistics,
the full horror and gore still attracts.
It's the history of now, the history of now.
A strange contradiction that makes sense somehow.
It's the history of now, a mystery and shroud.
The past and the future: best fiction allowed.

No More
Your laughter
Isn't funny
Doesn't make me smile
Anymore
You treat me like dirt
You've stepped on
In your new shoes
So you smiling
Doesn't make me the image
Anymore
I end up in tears
When you laugh
I'd rather laugh
When you cry
You don't make my heart skip a beat
Anymore
It's well and truely gone
Overboard
So far in the distance
That you'll never see my shadow
Again
There's no point in
'Loving you'
Anymore

I Aint Got No Home
I aint got no home, Im just a ramblin around
A hard working ramblin man, I go from town to town
The police make it hard wherever I may go
And I aint got no home in this world anymore
I was farmin on the shares and always I was poor
My crops I laid into the bankers door
And my wife took down and died upon the cabin floor
And I aint got no home in this world anymore
I aint got no home, Im just a ramblin around
A hard working ramblin man, I go from town to town
The police make it hard wherever I may go
And I aint got no home in this world anymore
Now as I look around its mighty plain to see
This wide wicked world is a funny place to be
The gamblin man is rich and the workin man is poor
And I aint got no home in this world anymore

The show is a satire, which gives us freedom to do anything we want. Satire is the magic word that wipes away any culpability. The media is jealous of this freedom.

Im Not Running Anymore
Holly told me, you better give me a child
I said, holly, theres no way
We dont even like each other all that much
We couldnt make it one more day
She said, you better look out, buster
The next time you see me youre gonna pay
I said, holly, Im not running anymore
But Im on my way
Chorus:
Im on my way
Im on my way
Im on my way
But Im not running anymore
Well I got two circus clowns here who like to fight
They got one black eye and a bloody nose
They are the hoodlums of my third wife
Whatever I say they will oppose
I try to teach those clowns something
Like how to make it day to day
I say, hey, you kids, Im not running anymore
But Im on my way
Chorus:
Im on my way
Im on my way
Im on my way
And Im not running anymore
Well I look in the mirror - what the hell happened to me?
Whatever I had has gone away
Im not the young kid that I used to be
So I push the hair back out of my face
Thats o.k., I knew this would happen
But I was hopin not today
Hey baby, Im not running anymore
But Im on my way
Chorus:
Im on my way
Im on my way
Im on my way
And Im not running anymore
Im on my way
Im on my way
Im on my way
And Im not running anymore
For sure!

I Cant Take It
Words and music by robin zander
Well I saw you today and realized
How I missed my peace of mind
I feel your breath in my ear
But late at night its you I always think about
That little girl inside of you I once knew
I should have known better
Still the smell of you was on my face
But you were too busy
To notice me last night
Now I cant take it alone
I cant make it alone
I cant take it
I cant make it alone
Oh no, oo, oh no
Then I tell myself Ill put you down
Dont wanna see your face around
Dont call me up anymore
When I hear your voice its in my ear
Youre kissin on the phone
It makes it all come clear
Now I cant take it alone
I cant make it alone
I cant take it
I cant make it alone
Oh no, oh, oh no
I try to tell myself
Dont need you anymore
Dont want you hangin around my door, oh no
Now I cant take it alone
I cant make it alone
I cant take it alone
I cant make it alone
I cant take it alone
I cant make it alone
If its wrong or right
I cant take it, I cant make it alone
You know how I tried
I cant take it, I cant make it alone
I try tell myself dont need you anymore
I cant take it alone, I cant make it alone
Oh baby, my pretty baby
I cant take it alone, I cant make it alone

Does Anyone Know
Music : klaus meine
Lyrics: klaus meine
Is this world out of control
Say what is right what is wrong
Do I know this world at all
I think I do but then I dont
Im confused by what I see
I try to understand
But it makes no sense at all
Im confused by what I feel
I thought that our love
Was something that is real
Does anyone know
The truth were looking for
Cant find it anymore
Does anyone know
How to make me feel
For something that is real
So many things that I recall
When we were young just flying high
Can we turn our fate at all
I wish we could say dont you cry
Im confused by what I hear
Girl it seems to me
Were losing after all
Im confused by what I feel
I thought that our love
Was something that is real
Does anyone know
The truth were looking for
Cant find it anymore
Does anyone know
How to make me feel
For something that is real
Another day has just begun
Life goes on theres no return
How can I trust anyone
When honesty is such a dirty word
Does anyone know
The truth were looking for
Cant find it anymore
Does anyone know
How to make me feel
For something that is real
Does anyone know
The truth were looking for
Cant find it anymore
Does anyone know
How to make me feel
For something that is real
Yeah

I Don't Care Anymore
Well you can tell ev'ryone I'm a down disgrace
So drag my name all over the place.
I don't care anymore. (I don't care)
You can tell ev'rybody 'bout the state I'm in
You won't catch me crying 'cos I just can't win.
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
I don't care what you say
I don't play the same games you play.
'Cos I've been talking to the people that you call your friends
And it seems to me there's a means to and end.
They don't care anymore. (they don't care)
And as for me I can sit here and bide my time
I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind.
I don't care anymore I don't care no more
I don't care what you say
We never played by the same rules anyway.
I won't be there anymore
Get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
Well, I don't care now what you say (I don't care what you say)
'Cos ev'ry day (everyday)
I'm feeling fine with myself (I'm feeling fine with myself)
And I don't care now what you say (I don't care what you say)
Hey I'll do alright by myself (I'll be alright by myself)
I don't care (I don't care) anymore (anymore)
I don't care (I don't care) anymore (anymore)
I don't care (I don't care) anymore (anymore)
I don't care anymore
Do you care? Hell no!
Do you care? Hell no!
Do you care? Hell no!
What what?
Do you care? Hell no!
Do you care? Hell no!
Do you care? Hell no!

Do you care? Hell no!
Do you care? Hell no!
Do you care? Hell no!
What what?
Do you care? Hell no!
Do you care? Hell no!
Do you care? Hell no!
What what?
'Cos I remember all the times I tried so hard
And you laughed in my face 'cos ya held all the cards.
I don't care anymore.
And I really ain't bothered what you think of me
'Cos all I want of you is just a let me be.
I don't care anymore
Did you hear? I don't care no more
I don't care what you say
I never did believe you much anyway.
We won't be there any more
So get out of our way.
Let us by
We got better things to do with our time
We don't care anymore
We don't care anymore
We don't care anymore
We don't care anymore
We don't care
We don't care
We don't care (anymore)
We don't care

Supergig
Turn the cushions over, tonight were coming over
Angry once, were not so anymore
And all that we desire is sweep the stage of fliers
It was funny once its not so anymore
Me, Ive got a supergig, got a brand new rig
Ill crank it for you all
The drummers got a hard-on for every song he starts on
Once seemed loud, hes not so anymore
The catalog of ballads we played to clean your palates
We used to care, we dont care anymore
Me, Ive got a super sound when I play around the gyms or parties
Me, Ive got a super sound either way
Theres not a missing link no matter what you think
Right before the break up we turn around and make up
Once stupid we are not so anymore
The fear of bargain basements are gone without a trace, yeah
We used to care, we dont care anymore
There aint no way any super girls gonna change my world
Or keep me down cause
Me, Ive got a super rig whether at a gig or playing in my room
