LYRICS

 

1.Nothing is all

Nothing is all!

2. Dirty south

I come from the dirty south

got rocks up in my mouth

fly my flag with pride

in jesus name I hide

my only enemy

is those who aren’t like me

dwelling in futures past,

in the land of the free,

i come from the dirty south

I keep my pride held high,

cause I’m living to die,

this land is my land

and with it I’ll lie,

if you choose to mess with me,

you know where I’ll be found

just expect to find

your grave dun dug in the ground,

I come from the dirty south

rock with me

if you’re gonna rock with me

gotta wear my shoes

peace and equality

is for the confused

I come from the dirty south,

I’m stubborn and angry,

I won’t change my old ways

so just leave me be

leave me be

3. 88.8 WES SP8 Radio

4. Who’s got the cure for the radio?

Who’s got the cure for the radio?

Why do I always hear the same old thing?

Who’s got the cure for the radio?

Let me hear your soul,

I wanna hear your soul.

What’s the point of playing the hits,

if the hits are the same old bits

repeated over and over and over and over!

Who’s original? Who needs to be heard?

Who’s got the cure for the radio?

5. Let the music be alive

soul suckers rise, to greet me,

to learn what they don’t like

and learn how to beat me.

The soul searching drunk,

released beer breaths of wisdom,

tells me I’m alright and to keep dreaming.

medics arrive, to resuscitate me,

they bring me back to life and leave me

what will be will be,

if you choose to believe in me,

let the music be alive, when you really listen.

6. Life’s short so what

life is so short, why don’t we just enjoy it,

don’t you know you’ve got the mind,

to make it better, if you just choose you’ll see,

what it could be,

let love find your way to being happy.

Let me tell you also…

Most of the time, life’s choices are in your mind,

let your love light shine and you just mind find that

life isn’t so bad, it’s not all about the things you’ve had,

just let your love light shine.

let me see(repeat 2x) you’re eyes

do they tell (repeat 2x) you lies

don’t let me see you look away

if you think(2x) you’re wise, don’t let me see your disguise

I’m looking for the truth even when it hurts

when you’re feeling down, just remember you’re not alone

you’ve just forgotten, those feelings are all in your mind.

7. Gone is the man

Gone is the man who fears, to strong to shed a tear

gone is the man depressed, who won’t confess

gone is the man selfish, whose sole desire is to impress

gone is the man whose stressed, whose barrier is directed

Now he’s gone, that man is no longer

here is the man’s forgotten fear

here is the man present all year

here is the man endeared

here is the man who loves with care

here is the man who still fails

here is the man who still prevails

here is the man standing tall

who's getting back up when he falls

Now he’s here, that man is present

8. Self righteous suicide

plans to prosper harm you,

plans that’ll give you hope

the only plans that’ll help you,

is the plan to get you a rope

but you won’t go through with it

You’ll hold your pride

You’re good at faking it

self righteous suicide

Sitting, waiting, sleeping,

wasting slow passing time

Wondering how much longer,

thoughts will, haunt your mind

But you won’t go through with it

You’ll hold your pride

You’re good at faking it

Self righteous suicide.

9. John Jacobs

My name is john jacobs,

i come from the hills

of baton rouge

here I come

I’m kicking up dust,

I’m finding love,

the devil and you

I reap what I sow,

raise hell wherever I go,

I’m burning bridges down

and I’m simply walk around.

Here I come, I’m kicking up dust,

here I come I drink, I smoke, I cuss.

I roam from coast to coast,

finding love, the devil and you.

I reap what I sow,

raise hell wherever I go,

I’m burning bridges down

and I’ll simply walk around,

to get wherever I need to go…

10. What this love could be

Through this emptiness,

we create a journey,

so I ask you now,

are you along for the ride?

I won’t disguise,

cause I can’t hide the light in my eyes,

I’m out to drive,

discover what this love could be.

And I’m wondering,

which way should I go,

there’s no turning back

and no way to know.

On this path I find,

like a sunday drive

with you by my side,

so easy to discover

what this love, could be.

11. The eye over it

Out of many one to one,

one from many two by two,

legal tender recognized,

thy great seal approved.

Undertakers favor,

thou shalt love thy neighbor,

fiscal debts been tailored,

now to kill thy stranger.  

The eye over it.

12. Tell-tale

Tell-tale signs we’re running out of time,

when politicians pick out our lives

and tell us how to die,

if now’s the time to cry out,

then I’d like to say something.

At the end of the tunnel,

there is a light and a choice,

can it hear your voice?

Is now the time to hear your voice?

I can see the light and it’s blinding,

serving up comfort for the free born pervert,

always protected,

we are running out of time,

how will you make up your mind,

to see the light?

13. Majesty Bow down

Hung like a drug with a neurotic profusion,

mangled in the germ of power,

all the desires of the human heart

from the most superficial

to the most profound.

Majesty bow down.

One word to a world ripening in silence,

the sway of fashion and love for war,

peace makes no profit,

love makes measly money,

there’s not enough space to share?

Isn’t that cunning! Majesty bow down.

If you want equality

you better bow down to your majesty,

tomorrow belongs to me,

fight for our rights and die in poverty.

Buried feelings breaking free,

not gonna stop till you hear our plea,

not yet guided by industry,

manufactured fascists upon delivery.

The prestige of power, glory evaporated,

like a sound without an echo!

Majesty bow down.

14. Capias spangled

Oh say can you see,

why our power is lost in greed,

riches, soil and freedoms speech,

isn’t enough for our leaders teeth.

oh home of the brave,

who do we kill, who do we save,

finding comfort in the bombs,

whilst the leaders keep the alms.

Oh see the tyranny,

powerless embodied,

Do nothing but sing to preach,

now nothing is saviors speech.

O’er see how you hide,

behind the perilous, behind your ties,

fictions tale wags long wags free,

untouched capias laws indeed.

Oh home of the brave,

how good you kill, how good you rave,

summon now one grieves its grave,

conquered triumph shall now wave.

Oh feel the tyranny, fear gathers quickly,

the way to the top you see

is on the leaders face in green,

the way to the top you see,

is on the leaders face in green.

15. Wild loneliness

Wild loneliness, you’re the only ness,

feet feel the ocean tide,

the only way that we’ll survive,

is with nothing to prove.

Through the deep forest,

refresh our simpleness,

lines that electrify,

souls that may never find,

through and through. Wild loneliness.

16. Shakespeare tortured in euphoria

Hear my prose, from the ghost of shakespeare,

hear these contractions, get the beat,

clues and cues, fear the movement,

feel not discouraged.

Fault undone pray, cannot conceive you,

opulent may, lay ponderous upon thee,

divest thine seek, credulous cohorts,

breaches glib bleak, sojourn!

Redress this glib, epicurean fib,

digest this gift in an enchanted myth.

Redress this glib, epicurean fib,

tragic it may, retinue sway!

1. My Love Cliche

Onward unknown, jealousy sold

for a chance to win you back

Lonely in shame, without love to blame

limbo won't serve me long

When you're wrong

then you're still right

You'll never take, my sound advice

If I forget you, will you disappear? 

Is this fate, is this our way? 

Impermanent, dreams of times past

never to be awake

existence unclear, utter future in fear

aroma haunts ere long

When you're wrong

then you're still right

You'll never take my sound advice

If I forget you, will you disappear?

Is this fate, is this our way? 

I wanna know, if you're gonna slay me

Why can't you make up your mind, on what you decide? 

I wanna know, how to escape you

Everywhere I go, you're always there

Onward I go, future untold, fight the urge to turn back

Feelings confused, love unused

this is my love cliche

this is my love 

this is my love

this is my love cliche

2. What if

What if I died, a broken man

What if I lied, tell you God's plan

What if I climbed, the highest mountain top, descend down, created a place to drown

City hold down, this forceful arm, country pull up this fertile land

Discovery drive, in house survive, let us learn of, mistakes enthroned

What if I lived, beyond the sky

What if the truth, was only a goodbye

Selling good deeds, sowing bad seeds

wishing, wishing, our land a long life

Wishing, wishing for a better plan

Wishing, wishing, for something better

Am I gonna live, to see the pearly gates

Or will I survive to see the world's surprise?

3. Take it or leave it

The Devils gonna get himself hurt

Gonna knock him down, gonna kick up some dirt

He's a clever fox, but I'll lock him in his den

Where I won't let him out to expose my sin

Sick of my untold history, where no one on earth can inspire

I romp a storm when I come along, church bells ringing, ring ring wrong

Generous place that we live in, take take take, maybe I'll give

Doesn't mean anything to me, dump the oil into the sea

Gonna hide out for a while, till this tide washes away, the bloody Nile

Won't let the past catch up to me, or at least won't let anybody see

Take it or leave it

history repeats it

Take it or leave it

retrieve or deceive it

Take or leave it

history repeats it

Take it or leave it

free doesn't exist 

free doesn't exist 

free doesn't exist

Renounce me now, with a cup of Jesus' blood

Pray for rain now, curse it when it floods

Wash me down with the finest of wines, so I can forget and alter my mind

Take it or leave it

history repeats it

Take it or leave it

retrieve or deceive it

Take it or leave it

history repeats it

Take it or leave it

free doesn't exist

free doesn't exist

free doesn't exist

4.What am I really saying?

Decide, how you're gonna die

and I, will provide

You, have gone too far

Decide, how you're gonna die

Life, is an empty gift 

Wake, think and try

You, have gone too far

Wake with a will to live

Stand, in a sane dark peace

Paradise, is in for a ride

What am I really saying? 

Time, teach us how to be. 

5. Baby Jane

Be my baby Jane, I wanna love you everyday 

I don't want you to be true

I just wanna make love to you

If you want me let's do this

I got thirty minutes, on my next lunch break

I don't wanna eat, I wanna watch you shake

Shake it up, shake it round, I know my baby Jane, bound to get down

If you want me baby, let's do this. 

6.Skin Glue

Oh, baby you, got me glued to you

Oh, baby you, got me glued to you

As I walk down, to your dungeon now

As I walk down, to your dungeon now

I want more! 

I can't wait for your night

I can't wait for your night

I can't wait for your night

I can't wait for your night

Cause I want to feel your skin

Up against mine, up against mine

I want to feel your skin

Up against mine, up against mine

I know you feel it too, oh baby you

I know you feel it too, oh baby you

I want to feel your skin

Up against mine, up against mine

I know you feel it too, oh baby you

I know you feel it too, oh baby you

I want to feel your skin 

Up against mine, up against mine

I can't wait for your night

I can't wait for your night

I can't wait for your night

I can't wait for your night

I can't wait for your night

7.You've lost your touch

You've lost, you've lost your touch

and it hurts, hurts so much

You left me, feeling blue

with no loving, from you

You've got to make up your mind

Are you gonna jump, or are you gonna climb

Cause there are plenty of fish in the sea, that wanna hook into thee

Make up you're mind

You're running out of time

Hung up on a sign

Look what to love will find

Try to talk to you, but the words don't go through

At a loss, without knowing what to do

Come back to me and let me lay you down

Sing to you, satisfy your sound.

8. Navajo Way

Oh no, we will not go, we will not die

Mother nature, father sky, will hold us on high

Our life connects with this land, we belong here

Oh no, we will not go, we belong here

Oh no, we will not go, we belong here

Mother nature, father sky hold us on high

Our life connects with this land, we belong here

Oh no, we will not go, we belong here

Running blind

With hands tied

Running Blind

Through the night

Traitors, treaty, freedom will never be free

Traitors, treaty, freedom will never be free

Our life, is our land

Our life, is our land

Our life, is our land

Our life, is our land.

Track 1. LEONORA

see, how she struts as you watch her walk away

me, comatose-d don't even know what to say

for, the sake of clarity 

strange, hesitation even in certainty 

Leonora

we, got that love makes you pull out your hair

she, will burn your soul with a single, simple glare 

helpless, with no shame, really puts you to the test

heart beat, turning up separated from the rest 

Leonora 

Track 2. TRUE BLUES

white boy, what do you have to lose

you just put the tools, put the tools to use

black man, you made this song

you made it possible 

for me to sing it wrong

Track 3. DEPORTATION

submit my regression, begin the recession 

play Russian roulette with your life

misery's addiction, a health term conflict-ion

I'm the wrong person to give you advice

because I see

your heads between your knees 

be all we can be

is friends confused in life

Run a muck

unleashed 

Tummy tuck 

in heat

Sale me out

Mainstream America 

Deportation 

Track 4. DIVE IN DESTINY

read my feelings, wrong the rights

distant dealings, fear into fright

I want you & you want me

lets make this happen, drift into the sea

mystic moon, mountain top

drowsily dripping, drip drip drip drop

upon the slumber, of the sleeping wave

the quiet valley to the suns soft haze

& I...won't let destiny get the best of me

won't let destiny get the best of me

destiny ain't got nothing on me

destiny can take the rest of me

into the fog wraps the wake to rest

the night air settles in its deep dark breath

set the bar high, rise & fall

we want nothing, but we take it all! 

& I...won't let destiny get the best of me

won't let destiny get the best of me

destiny ain't got nothing on me

destiny can take the rest of me

Track 1. A Stupid Thing Called Love

she acts like, she might like me

& I can't tell her, I do

because she's so, so pretty

& I'm so, lonely, & ugly

Girl I can lie to you

tell you all the things I can't do

maybe we can figure out, maybe we can figure out

A stupid thing called love

A stupid thing called love

I'm gonna bury these memories, beside my bed

where I wish, you'd lay, lay your head

she's so, so pretty

& I'm so ugly, & lonely

Girl I can lie to you

tell you all the things I can't do

maybe we could figure out, maybe we could figure out

this stupid thing called love

Stupid thing called love

:BEHIND MY BACK:
You lied to me
I thought that we had something good
I wish you could take it all back
Why’d you do like that?

Why'd you do those things, you did like that, behind my back
You messed up everything when you did like that behind my back
Now I've got to scream everything you did behind my back
I'm going to yell condemn you to hell for everything you did
Behind My back, behind my back (ehhe), behind my back, behind my back...

I'll ask you again why'd you do those things you did like that
Give you another chance for romance behind my back
But I'm going to leave, because I can't believe everything you did
I'm going to yell condemn you to hell for everything you did

BMB


:PLEASE:

I (eye) I'm stuck on this feeling, I'm not believing that I have to die
You, you’re stuck in believing, you’re not feeling, that you have to die

Can you feel this?
Can you believe me?
I'm not dying you can see me
I'm messed up don't deceive me

I'm not asking for much, I'm just asking for more
I'm not asking for much, I'm just asking for more
Please...

We, what were believing, were not feeling, that we have to die
All of us, were sick and diseasing, finally believing, that we have to die

Can you feel this?
Can you believe me?
I'm not dying you can see me
I'm messed up, don't deceive me

I'm not asking for much, I'm just asking for more
I'm not asking for much, I'm just asking for more
Please......

:SHE SAYS:

She says, I don't love you anymore
I know, that's not true at all
Our love, is kind of like a cannon ball
It explodes, and then we load another round

She says, I'm sorry for what I said before
I know, and I gladly forgive and forget
Our love, is the everlasting kind
It loads, and reloads into my mind

When she sleeps, she knows she needs me, by her side
When I'm not there, everything, is not alright
By her side, by her side, by her side...
I'm always there, by her side, by her side...Always be by her side

She says, I know I'll love you all my life
I know, and I tell her I'll do the same

:UNTIL I DIE:

I love when I look into your eyes, and see, see surprise, your my, your my prize
I've fairly won you, I did, everything you asked, and constantly complained about
At dusk, is when I'll have your hand, we'll live all our plans, we'll live, our American dreams

I love you, it's so sad, but it's true
I'm going to love you until; I'm going to love you until

Until I die, until I die, until I die...

I think, and you think the same thing to
It’s what, it’s what were going through, I'm scared of loving you until I die
I do, I do it all for you, even though it’s scary for me to, I'd die a Christ like death for you.

I love you, it's so sad, but it's true
I'm going to love you until; I'm going to love you until...

Until I die.

:TIME TO SET SAIL:

Wildly drifting, through this land that is shifting, truly condescending
Ale to avail, ale to avail, ale to avail
Leaving in thunder, through this drought that I'm under, service in sunder
Time to set sail, Time to set Sail, Time to set sail

Now we, we set sail

Are you listening, got something I have to tell you, you’re going to die
I will surrender, to the God the delivers, calling all sinners
Time to set sail

Now we, we set sail...

WHAT GOES COMES

she thinks I'm a star

I thought I could steal her heart

time can tear you apart

then you find a replacement heart

SPIRIT

let it move you, let it consume you

I DON'T KNOW YOU

3years down the drain

now I'm racking my brain, and I

can't seem to get you out of my head

even after what you did

You told me lies to my surprise

found out where you hide, all the

things you did behind my back

now I'm here to tell you that

I don't know you

Look at all the things we've been through

the love I knew is not with you

I don't know you

I want to hate you,

tell you lies and disgrace you

I wanna, run you into the ground

to where you can't be found

You told me lies to my surprise

found out where you hide, all the

things you did behind my back

now I here to tell you that...

- Hide quoted text -

I don't know you

Look at all the things we've been through

the love I knew is not with you

I don't know you

You're not the one that I knew...

TAKE A GLUG FROM THE SLUG IN THE JUG

I'll take a glug from the slug in the jug

I'm just hear to have a good time

I will farm

I will fight

I will stay out

All hours of the night

I will go..

Wherever I know

That theres whiskey, women, and a bar in sight

I'll take a glug from the slug in the jug

to ease my peace of mind

pour me a beer, and have no fear

I'm just hear to have a good time

Pour me a glass

Play me some tunes

Dosey doe, you me and the moon

Honky Tonkin'

Hoe down

Let's dosey doe

and pour me another round

I'll take a glug from the slug in the jug

to ease my peace of mind

pour me a beer, and have no fear

I'm just hear to have a good time
