We're running out of time
Running out of steam
Running out of dreams
The American way
Running out of space
Run to outer space
Jet fuel on a Tesla rocket
Musk: a stench I cover up
I smell a cover up
An undercover cop
Who's about to die
His name is Captain Obvious
I'll tell you how it is
When I'm looking in
Staring at the Sun
As the cataract
Burns, life is heating up
The world is getting hot
It'll never stop
The American curse
I guess it could be worse
I'll write another verse
I'll tell you all the things
That you already know
My name is Captain Obvious
I don't do anything
While I do everything
The canary sings
In the coal mine
My mind is blowing up
"I don't give a fuck"
My mind is full of lust
I'm a horny toad
I wanna shoot my load
I wanna stick it in
I hope you get my point
It's a matter of fact
Time! Time!
Time is running out
Yeah, our time is up
Time! Time!
I don't need to tell you, do I?
Everything is fucked!
Time! Time!
You already know
Yeah, it's heating up
Time! Time!
We're always out of time
And there's no space to speak at all!

Not Real Communism
02:22
|
|

You've got Stalin running your away with your future
A bullet-proof train that's racing by
A million people heading to Gulags
Where they can all work to death
All his famous friends are fading from photos
Echoes of the memories we've erased
A race war hidden in the shadows
That you'll never read about
You've got famine rampant in your ranks
Deliberately arranged by your self-crowned king
All the poor and needy on a long bread line
Being pushed into the next book burning
But that's not real Communism! No!
That's not real Communism! No!
Mao, Mao, oh wow, watch the bullets go pow
When the rice runs out you can have a cow
Where's the beef on the streets in these iron sheets
You just cover up murder, you just press delete
Where's my mother? Where's my father? Where the Falun gone?
Are they hidden in the jungle like the Viet Cong?
You can rearrange the Bible just to sing your song
If you're right by definition then you're never wrong
You've got people vanishing from your streets
You've got big black vans and mysterious heats
Pile up, pile in, violin strings sing
Olympian overcoat overlord overload
That's not real Communism! No!
That's not real Communism! No!
That's not real Communism! No!
That's not real Communism! No!

Sudden Death
02:29
|
|

It's a shock to the system
It's a truth that you must face
The person you knew is gone
So much for tribute songs
They can never be replaced
It's a black day on your calendar
How many moons since the last one?
Was it weeks or maybe years?
You'll be engaged with all your fears till funeral bells eclipse the Sun
It's another sudden death
It's another sudden death
Another sudden death
It's another sudden death
It's a natural occurrence
Coming at high frequency
You're trying to tune it out
But your dials stuck in place
It's all that you can see
It goes out with your ego
With your complacency
With their brain against the wall
You'll be picking up the pieces for the next couple of weeks
It's another sudden death
It's another sudden death
Another sudden death
It's another sudden death
Weighing on your conscience

Too Close For Comfort
03:16
|
|

I was
Beside myself with joy
And when you ran away
Three long years ago
I felt my heart destroyed
And now I'm too close for comfort
Clinging to what sticks
Oh, and it never does
So why continue
Chasing what will never be for me?
And I still live my life alone
And I still live my life alone
And I flirt
With all the girls I meet
And it always seems so fleeting
Fleeing from yourself
You hold me at an arm's length
We never get too close
So, is this really love
Or just convenience?
The nearest soul that was in reach for you?
I hold myself together at night
I hold myself together at night
I run
To whatever heart seems near
I'll take my beatings
In fractured union
Joined by broken bones
And I'll hide my desperation
My tired sullen eyes
Oh, men never cry
And I'm trying to impress you
My only fear is that I'll die alone
And so far, well that seems to be truth
And so far, well that seems to be truth
Hey!

It's not worth it
Is it
Really now?
I would rather play guitar
Than ever play
With you again
Fingering positions
And the utmost pleasure
Of a song that's sung
In unison with friends
I am always finding
New chords to play
Even if they are actually
Always the same.
I am forever in
The position of
Pushing fingers onto strings
And I
Am never wanting
Of anything
More than this
And that's everything.
I just love this more than I ever really loved you.
I just love this more than I ever really loved you.
When I'm playing with myself
I find myself
In ways you never could
Find me.
I can pluck on these strings
In ways you never could.
At least not quite in
The right way.
You pluck and
Twist and turn and you
BREAK and you
Twist and turn and it
always spirals down
Into something ugly
And discordant
Something I would never wanna play
Ahhhh-AHHHHHH I'm
Playing all the lines
Making up the words
I can never find the right
Ones to say to you.
And this is how I always wanna spend my time.
And this is how I'll always wanna spend my time.
I have a natural
Talent for expressing my opinions
In the form of
Chorus and a verse
And in some universe
You actually appreciate
The things that I can do
With a simple melody.
And I can never find
The right way to express
My feelings to a
Wretched being such as you.
And in the strangest way
I don't really care.
I don't really care!
I'm playing my guitar.
And that's all I really need.
And that's all I really need.
And that's all I really need.
