Dirt Bones - Influenza-1
03:39
|
|
||
I was gonna be a poet
Before I got the flu
Then I said these songs I write
Never seem to turn out right
So fuck it; I’m gonna do nothing at all
I was gonna be a preacher
Before I read the news
Then I said these prayers I sing
Just don’t mean a goddamn thing
So fuck it; I’m gonna do nothing at all
I was gonna be a wise man
Before I talked to you
Then I said the things I know
Ain’t how I want things to go
So fuck it; I’m gonna do nothing at all
And sometimes when I’m alone, I hear strange things in my head
And sometimes when I’m in bed, I start to wonder what it’s like being dead
And sometimes when I’m at home, I get so tired of being at home
I get so tired of being at home
Being at home
Being at home
But what do I know?
Influenza 1-love
I heard there’s disease above
Contrails heart fails in the sky
Bright clean vaccine in my eye

Dirt Bones - The Atheist

I went out in the desert, I looked up in the sky
Saw a big shining city where we go when we die
Oh, but
I’m a man with dirt in his bones
And only the earth is my home
Someone said
You’re in my head
Or if you’re real
You’re me instead
I’ve got solipsism in my brain
Well I swear this place will drive me insane
Your geometry
Is all Greek to me
And what I believe
Is what you see
Well I’m standing on my own two feet
I’ve got train A, train B, where do they meet?
The drugs I take
Just to stay awake
I can start a fire
Burn me at the stake
I wore Hester’s polyester A
But there ain’t no shame in running away
I went out in the desert, I looked up in the sky
Saw a big shining city where we go when we die
Oh, but
I’m a man with dirt in his bones
And only the earth is my home
Only the earth is my home

Big Bad Wolf
03:16
|
|
||
me and my buddys
we were looking for a place to live
we figured out materials
and went with the lowest bid
we built a house of straw
and it blew away in the wind
back to the drawing board
where do we begin
i don't know
our next effort
became a pile of sticks
i was always telling you
we should have used bricks
i don't know what to say
it seems like all of our plans
have been going up in flames
the big bad wolf
is a man in diguise
he's running away
from his life built on lies
and the man in the mirror
has that look in his eyes
like he's knows
when we all will die
now we've got our brick house
standing tall and strong
not even an army
could compromise these walls
and with a huff and a puff
he tries to blow it down
but when it doesn't fall
he'll just crumble to the ground
the big bad wolf
is a horrible guy
he's getting all tangled
up in these vines
the big bad wolf
is a thorn in my spine
he's one i've come to
despise

Uncertainty
03:35
|
|

why would you do this to me
leave me swimming in uncertainty
do you have the decency
to tell me your policy
i can see
you're through with me
why do you feel the way you feel
why do you feel the way you feel
how do i know
it's not the time
if it isn't real
why do you feel the way you feel

Light brings life to my dead eyes
wake up in a bad mood
from a dream about the end of the world
breath in the stale air
exhale the nightmares
ba ba ba ba ba ba ba baaaa
ba ba ba ba ba ba ba baaaa
ba ba ba ba ba ba ba baaaa
ba ba ba ba ba ba ba baaaa
ba ba ba ba ba ba ba baaaa
ba ba ba ba ba ba ba baaaa
I saw you hit your head
I think you should where a helmet
and I saw that ant on the hill
and I saw that dirt in his mouth
and I don't know why you did it
I don't know the rhyme nor the reason
watch out for that lawnmower
watch out for that lawnmower
Life is what it is
You get what you give
Life is what it is
you get what you give
you get shit on in the end

The Cog
03:09
|
|
||
i feel underpaid
i don't break minimum wage
i don't get paid at all
i feel under fed
like i'm nearly dead
i don't get fed at all
i don't know why
you try
to fit into the cog
spinning round the clock
and all those flies you saw fall
their your sister
their your pa
their your brother
their your mom
they all fall
don't stop the clock
just stop the cog

Windows And Mirrors II
04:14
|
|
||
fade away
without pay
what to say
in your wake
windows and mirrors
used to be my fears
they went away
their here to stay
oh don't you know
they've got it all under control
they've got it all
