Void 04:42
I don't need to see I don't need to know I'm always trying to breathe I'm fucking out of control She's got something to say And I've got nowhere to go Says she's got a need She's got a need to know Tell me who's got the weed Who's got the blow? They say it's never enough It takes a hell of a toll Got no credit no cash I'm always on the road Some people call it a job But it's a hell of a load She's a pretty thing And I'm sure that she knows Waiting for the man She's gotta get it to go She's down on the street Gotta know where to roll Says she's got a need She's got a need to know

Art of Cool 05:54
You think you want to be cool You think it's time to drop out of school You better kick back, relax, don't act such a fool And you say..."Hey man, what am I doing here?" "I feel so cool" You think you've got to be cool You know you can bend and break all the rules You better kick back, relax, and don't act such a fool And you say..."Hey man, I think I know what I'm doing here" "I feel so damn cool" You know you want to be cool You know that you're not just 'your average fool' You better slow down, get down, and don't blow your cool And you say..."Look around at all these people in their flannels and their t-shirts and I'm sitting here in my straight jacket and can't think of which way to move" So you drop a tab of acid And you try to relax And then you're looking round and round From the front to the back And he's thinking: "Everybody's looking...everybody's looking I must be so fucking cool I think I lost all my marbles And don't know what I'm here for I can't think right And I think I've been misheard And now I realize that I've faced the facts 'Cause there's no such thing as cool" "I don't want to be seen I don't want to be heard I want to get a ride And I want to get out I think I'm a facade A facade in a guise And there's such a thing as fucking cool And now I'm looking round and round And everybody's looking at me Everybody's looking at me Everybody's looking at me Everybody's looking at me Everybody's looking at me" "I thought I was cool?"

The Floor 05:37
I pick my body up from off of the floor I don't want to think of what lies behind the door I keep my mind wrapped around the floor I'm always thinking about the 1 and the 4 I pick my body up from off of the floor It seems my thoughts can never come to accord I don't want to think of what lies behind the door I'll never leave here and then I'll never be sure I pick my body up from off of the floor The price of my thoughts; something I can't ignore The walls closing in, they hold me captive I'm sure I'll never leave here I'll never walk out the door

You go to Hollywood And try to be a star You go to Hollywood I bet you won't get too far Always wondering just who you are Just another fool at the bar Hop a train out of Baltimore You find yourself at the bar Hop a train out of Baltimore You didn't get too far Always wondering just who you are Just another fool at the bar You went to Hollywood And tried to be a star You went to Hollywood You didn't get too far Always wondering just who you are Just another fool at the bar

Deadbeat 01:46
I wake up in the morning And turn on my TV And there's a red sheep He wants to rip us apart See me crippled, down and die 'Cause I'm a deadbeat Now I'm trying to decide If I should run or should I hide 'cause I'm a deadbeat I'm running left and right I'm fucking worried every night about the red heat No They think we're all deadbeats Don't you listen to em I wake up in the morning and I turn on my TV And there's a red veep He thinks he'll fucking dupe us Got the opioids to juice us fucking deadbeats Now I'm trying to decide if we'll collide on 95 I'm a deadbeat Yeah I'm running left and right I'm fucking worried every night about the red heat No Deadbeat They think we're all fucking deadbeats Don't you listen to 'em

Calamity 07:34
I fear my world is falling apart Living life in the city where the living is hard Living life in the grey, it'll tear me apart Make plans to stay then decide to depart She fears her world is falling apart She needs a new place, needs a new start So draw up your plans to travel abroad One day you're here, next day you're gone Fall on your back or fall on your face Either way you're in the same place Tell me what we're going to do today I fear my world is falling apart Some say it's easy I make it look hard Drawing up my plans just to tear 'em apart Living here in the city where the living is hard Fall on your back or fall on your face Either way you're in the same place Tell me what we're going to do today I fear my world is falling apart Some say it's easy I make it look hard Drawing up my plans just to tear 'em apart Living here in the city where the living is hard Fall on your back or fall on your face Either way you're in the same place Tell me what we're going to do today What can I do?

Malady 04:13
Crash my car on New Year's Day Taxi cab got in my way And yet again I'm here unscathed Seems I'm always besting fate But nothing is going to change today And something's bound to make me irate What can I do? I'll quit this job, leave you to hang I don't have time to play your game The things I see without my frames I hear them calling me by name But nothing is going to change today And something is bound to make me irate What can I do?
