One Of Us Better Say Something Soon
I think you should address this before I do.
If I do it,
My approach would be considered too brutal.
My tongue too tinged with tart and darting expletives.
Plus I'm prone to use theatrics and overblown dramatics.
And you...
Like to poison them with kindness.
As if a choice is theirs to take.
And delivered truth is painful.
It's not a sweet experience.
Both of us know that!
'They're going to be angry with us.
They are not accustomed to honesty.'
Well...
One of us better say something soon!
Those aliens are eating all the fried chicken in the kitchen.
And I aint gon' spend my Sunday cooking.
Tell them we have some visitors.
They aint looking freaky or weird.
But they are not from here either.
And they have come to make some demands on their discipline.
And 'this' I want to see myself!

I could ride around the world in an old oxcart
And never let another girl thrill my heart
Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you baby?

Aint that loving you so?
I could meet a hundred girls and have loads of fun
My huggin and my kissin belong to just one

If you gave me nine lives like a tommy cat

Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you so?

The Truth
Mm
What if half the things ever said
Turned out 2 be a lie...
How will u know the truth?
If u were given all the answers
And u stopped 2 wonder why
But how will u know the truth?
Everybodys got a right to love
Everybodys got a right to lie
But the choice u make aint no piece of cake
It aint no mf piece of pie
{clock ticks}
What if times only reason?
Was to give us all somethin 2 fear?
And if so yall, the end of the journeys so clear
Questionaire, what did u stand 4?
Questionaire, who did u save?
When it gets right down to-wait a minute
When it gets right down to the nitty of the gritty
When it gets right down to it u take more than u gave
Everybody got a right to love
Everybody got a right to lie
But the choice u make aint no piece of cake
It aint no mfmf {o(+> screams the following} piece of pie {computer blips}
Mmmm oh
Gotta (gonna? ) tell the truth yall
Gotta tell the truth
Gotta tell the truth yall
Gotta tell the truth
Gotta tell the truth yall
Gotta tell the truth
If there was just one day
That everybody tell the truth
Wed all trade bank accounts & move to back to neptune

Same In The End
Down in mississippi where the sun beats down from the sky
They give it up but they never ask why
Daddy was a rolling, rolling stone he rolled away one day
And he never came home
It aint hard to understand this aint hitlers master plan
What it takes to be a man in my mind and in my brain
I roll it over like a steamin freight train
It aint hard to ascertain
You only see what you want to believe
When you light in the back with those tricks up your sleeve
That dont mean I cant hang
But the day that I die will be the day I shut my mouth
And put down my guitar
Sunday morning hold church down at the bar
Get down on my knees and start to pray
Pray my itchy rash will go away
Back up yall it aint me
Kentucky fried chicken is all that I see
Its a hellified way to start your day
If I make you cry all night
Me and daddy are gonna have a fist fight
It aint personal it aint me
I only hear what you told me to be
Im a backward ass hillbilly
Im dick butkiss
You know I lie
I get me an Im a thief in the dark
Im a rain machine Im a triple rectified ass s.o.b
Rec-tite(tm) on my ass
And it makes me itch
I can see for miles and miles and miles
My broken heart makes me smile
In my mind in my brain I go back and go completely insane
It aint personal
It aint me
If I make you cry I might be your daddy at the end of the night
Take a loadfrom my big gun
You only see what you want to believe
When you creep from the back
You got tricks up my sleeve
24/7 the devils my best friend
Makes no difference its all the same in the end

I Aint Got Nothin But The Blues
Aint got the change of a nickel
Aint got no bounce in my shoes
Aint go no fancy to tickle
I aint got nothing but the blues
Aint got no coffee thats perking
Aint got no winnings to lose
Aint got a dream that is working
I aint got nothing but the blues
When trumpets flare up
I keep my hair up
I just cant make it come down

Since my ever loving baby left town
Aint got no rest in my slumbers
Aint got no feelings to bruise
Aint got no telephone numbers

Fortunate Son
Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, theyre red, white and blue
And when the band plays hail to the chief
They point the cannon right at you
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no senators son
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no fortunate son
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord they dont help themselves
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no millionaires son
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no fortunate son
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war
And when you ask them how much should we give ?
They only answer more! more! more!
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no militarys son
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no fortunate son
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no fortunate one, no no
It aint me, it aint me

Ain't That A Lot Of Love (feat. Simply Red)
Words and music by Willa Dean Parker and Homer Banks
I know the desert cant hold all the love
that I feel in my heart for you, yeah
If I could spread it out across the sea
I know my love would cork it up
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
If the bees only knew how sweet you are, Baby
They would seal up their honey comb
If the birds could hear how sweet your voice is
They would tighten up the song
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
Your lips are so sweet
Honey, youre my every need
You got a smile so rare
A love like yours I just cant compare
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
If the cook in the kitchen had a touch as hot as yours
They wouldnt need a fire
I cant think of a word that describes your love better
Than the sky above
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
Yeah
Aint that a lot of love
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
One heart to hold
One heart to hold
One heart to hold
Aint that a lot of love
Aint that a lot of love
One heart to hold
One heart to hold
Aint that a lot of love
Aint that a lot of love
For one heart to hold
Oh thats a lot of love
Lot of love
Sounds like a lot of love
Sounds like a lot of love
For one heart to hold
For one heart to hold

Aint Nobodys Business If I Do
By porter grainger and everett robbins
There aint nothing I can do, or nothing I can say,
Some folks will criticize me.
So Im gonna do just what I want to anyway,
And dont care if you all despise me.
If I should take a notion
To jump into the ocean,
It aint nobodys business if I do.
If I go to church on sunday
And I shimmy down on monday,
It aint nobodys business if I do.
And if my friend aint got no money
And I say, all right, take all of mine honey,
It aint nobodys business if I do.
If I lend her my last nickel
And it leaves me in a pickle,
It aint nobodys business if I do.
I would rather my gal would hit me
Than to haul right up and quit me.
It aint nobodys business if I do.
I know that she wont call no copper
If she gets beat up by her poppa.
It aint nobodys business if I do, lord no.
Well, it aint nobodys business if I do.

You can kick me out of a real good jive
You can use my friendship like a doorknob
You can make me super styrofoam
You can make me feel all alone
You can stuff hamburger in my head
But I aint gonna be no squarehead
You can tempt me with a pretty girl
You can call on me in fancy fur
You can say, just do it, everyone is
You can tell me that its just showbiz
You can turn my life from green to red
But I aint gonna be no squarehead
You can burn my bridges down for laughin, ha ha ha ha
You can call me a fool for crashin, woh
You can make me stare down at the floor
You can make me listen while you snore
You can do all these things that I have said
But I aint gonna be no squarehead
Lets go!
You can make my position low as a dog
You can trick me with your social fog
You can criticize my very bag
You can call my treasures a heap of slag
But you might as well eat lunch instead
Cause I aint gonna be no squarehead
I aint gonna be no squarehead
I aint gonna be no squarehead

They took the tv honey
Oh babe now they took the car
I skipped the bills yeah
And Ive been drinking at the bar
Aint life a treat, it aint so sweet
When youre down on down / down on down
The banks foreclosing
And theres a foot inside my door
The telephones not ringing
And I cant take it anymore
Im off the track / my last six pack
And Im down on down / going down
Aint life a treat it aint so sweet
When youre going down / down on down
Hit me shorty

My God the kids are screaming
And the help she aint been paid
My baby upped and left me
Well I hope shes getting laid
Aint life a treat it aint so sweet
When youre down on down / going down

Encephalitis
Shutter to think of truth
Slivers of faith and glass
Ashes land on my tongue
This land is not the last
Stutter and utter words
These that thine thou wouldst save
Make fun of having fun
When we are all afraid
Here in my coma eye
Better to burn the truth
Ashes land on my lungs
The sweet sickly smell of truth
Drown and still air comes in
Poison dipped poison skin
Heroin in her mouth
Eyes like the back of south
Psion and I am sane
Your words still haunt my name
But I am safer now
I am too weird to bow
