Gun 05:02
It’s a sad State of Affairs Staying in ‘cause the news is gonna kill us It isn’t safe out there, no not anymore It’s wild and savage and the Money making machine Is gonna get us It’s a sad State of Affairs And I’m tired of this face-time And making love with your pretty picture It isn’t safe out there, no not anymore It’s wild and savage and the Morality police is gonna get us And a man’s gotta gun ‘cause he gotta hold on to Something X8 It’s a sad State of Affairs Let me be kind to you But let me keep my Social distance It isn’t real out there, no not anymore It’s wild and savage and the Reality star is gonna get us And a man’s gotta gun ‘cause he gotta hold on to Something X6

For a while now It’s been the same And I can’t say if it’s good And I’m not sure if it’s bad For a while now My legs don’t shake And I might be feeling better Or there’s simply Nowhere to go to Nowhere to go Nowhere to turn Nowhere to go Nowhere to turn For a while now My throat doesn’t shut And I don’t have the urge to vomit Every time I eat my lunch It’s called a psycho-somatic illness You should look it up A psycho-somatic illness Go look it up For a while now My lungs are clear And I don’t have the urge to cough Every time somebody mentions money It’s called anxiety You should look it up It’s called anxiety, anxiety, anxiety Go look it up Nowhere to go Nowhere to turn..

Memories 06:18
MEMORIES Looking at my garden, I see building blocks And it used to be so much easier to leave your Footprints in the grass I’ve tried leaving my footprints in concrete But concrete only hurts my feet Like when you get stung by a bee Later I sat around the house Watching the thunder coming in But the people continued to cheer and call for another drink Then they laughed themselves to sleep Do you ever laugh yourself to sleep? I remember we had an orchard and a garden and a dog and a swing And I had a bicycle and a pedal truck and a tree that I loved My own little forest at the back of the house Now I’ve got parking lots and families with their own stuff to Make memories of their own life Let’s think about that for a second Cry a little misery Dream a little mystery Make a little memory Cry a little misery Dream a little mystery Make a little memory I remember when it used to snow We’d make secret corridors and hiding places underground Now it seems we can only hide in the aisles of the supermarket Later as I sat around the house watching the thunder coming in It looked like God himself so I thought I’d say a prayer But how do you pray to someone who’s not there? It’s like talking to yourself And I already do that way too often So I made coffee in the morning and made myself a breakfast I did the dirty dishes and I even took the trash out I’ve done everything you always said I always do everything you always say But the flowers die anyway It seems the flowers always die anyway Cry a little misery Dream a little mystery Make a little memory Cry a little misery Dream a little mystery Make a little memory Cry a little misery Dream a little mystery Make a little memory Cry a little misery Dream a little mystery Make a little memory Why don’t you go and make yourself a memory?

Community 03:29
COMMUNITY Slow, take it slow We’ve got fifty years or more Of bankruptcy and cash loans Sound the alarm But every time you wake up Hit the snooze so you don’t Diffuse the bomb Go home, get paid, you gotta work it out (Not sick, not late, gotta work it out) Get bust, black out, you gotta work it out (Not big, not great, gotta work it out) So if you’re happy and you know it Then your face will surely show it If you’re happy and you know it Clap your hands We are a community We are a community We are a community A constant mutiny A unity of assholes Cry, baby, cry You’ve got fifty years or more With frogs in a pot until it gets to hot to Move Out of the Jacuzzi Go home, get paid, you gotta work it out (Not sick, not late, gotta work it out) So if you’re happy and you know it Then your face will surely show it Clap your hands We are a community We are a community We are a community A constant mutiny A unity of assholes We are a community We are a community We are a community A constant mutiny A unity of assholes

LO-FI GIRL FELT CUTE Tap, tap, tapping on window sill Looking at faces and places and fallacies Of filters on apps and perhaps a collapse of My levels of dopamine, send a DM To excite my adrenaline Rollin' and smokin' alternative medicine Tap, tap, tapping on a window sill Taking a selfie self-centeredly interesting Lying in bed, feeling bad, repositioning Subscribers from Only Fans trying to make it real How about you? What about you? How about you? Rollin' and smokin' alternative medicine Retrograde Mercury, our anniversary, Honey, I love you but it was not meant to be What about you? How about you? What about you? Aries and Taurus and Leo and Gemini Lo-fi girl felt cute But a rose is not a rose is not a rose X6

GENDER REVEAL PARTY Born in a temple I wanted to be a princess You can’t be a princess In a temple full of boys Hasn’t anybody told you that? Born in a temple I wanted to be a princess You can’t be a princess In a temple full of boys Hasn’t anybody told you that? A princess small and timid Looks into a mirror To see a knight in shining armor With a flower in his hair A princess small and timid Looks into a mirror To see a fearsome fighter With a necklace down the neck A princess small and timid Looks into a mirror To see a mighty king In a lavish royal dress But a foolish truth still lingers Boys just don’t wear dresses Hasn’t anybody told you that? A boy born in a temple Looks into a mirror To see the Beauty & the Beast And the Truth & the Made-up Truth A princess is made not born a princess Made not born a princess... Hasn’t anybody told you that?...

Human Spirit 03:30
HUMAN SPIRIT Everything is open Always open You travel but you can’t see the world Because you are standing on it And that’s the Humans Spirit The view is always better Before you get there But you go up that mountain anyway Just to realize there’s no way down And that’s the Human Spirit The Human Spirit The Human Spirit The Human Spirit Never understood a thing You have your freedom, Don’t you feel you’re free? You are superior Until you hunt it down to extinction And that’s the Human Spirit Everything’s a wonder, isn’t it a wonder But you start to wonder what to do with it So now we’re buying tickets To be amazed That’s the Human Spirit

APOCALIPSTICK A politician need his air condition To talk about where to cut funds next While Greece is on fire and Hephaestus is laughing Saying ‘didn’t I tell you what to expect?’ And Greta’s out of school again And that’s not really news again Only this time it’s because somebody sneezed And some Blacks were browsing real-estate Got handcuffed by the Racist State ‘cause that’s just the Real Damn State Of things See Archimedes drowning as the see is every rising Shouting ‘I have found it and you would too if you just took a bath’ And the news is gonna kill us as we keep our social distance Praying in an IKEA parking lot And sometimes I imagine big buildings blowing up And all the people shooting John Lennon in the face It’ like 9/11 But with fireworks and confetti Now put on some apocalipstick Do you get it? Someday I’ll wish upon a star And leave my carbon footprints far behind me Where troubles melt like permafrost New Shepard rising high above That’s where you’ll find me
