The Death of John
Smith
I've got respect from the community
I've got my bridge game to look
forward to
I've got this chance, a golden
opportunity
As long as I keep doing what I'm
supposed to
You see my wife and kids, they depend
on me
To provide them with nothing but
the best
I feel it's my duty, my obligation
to live up to the standards society
suggusts
So I'll keep on working for their
benefit
And I'll keep on drinking
I'll keep on believing in my life
Another year of slaving and smiling,
buying and trading
Living the life of a wealthy man
But somehow I don't feel so rich
inside
But that doesn't make sense
I just had a two week vacation
As soon as I get this operation
taken care of, I'll start enjoying
the good things in life
So I'll keep on working for the
benefits
And I'll keep on drinking
I'll keep believing in my life
When the pity spins your mind,
Darkness fills your heart,
And I won't be around
When you're feeling all alone
Then you'll know it's time,
To go into the ground
When the pity spins your mind,
Darkness fills your heart,
And I won't be around
I've got my family, friends, and
associates
To stand by me as the threshold
comes near
Within their faces I see grave
concern
As I ask myself if their thoughts
are sincere
After all these years of being complacent
What do I get? Tenderness,
affection, a true sense of love?
No! Just a pain through a
body chalk full of regret
I'll keep on believing my life still
has value
And I'll keep on laughing
Why can't I stop laughing?
I can't stop the laughing
The
Longest Line
In the darkest tunnel it's nice
to see a light
Not just a headlight
Like the one that's heading right
for me
It would be nice if things could
turn out right
Turn out right yeah
Don't think I'll ever see the day
I must have done something wrong
Or maybe pissed off god
I think of Chinese food when I think
of life
That's sweet and sour
My life is sweet as saccharine
You know 3 week old milk and grapes
are not
Not the same, No
I am the one Johnny Carcinogen
I must have fucked with some witch
In turn she cursed me, cursed my
life
At the end of the longest line
That's where I will always be
If you need to find me, just go
to
The end of the longest line
But officer that was a yellow light
The light was red, son
Insubordination, reckless driving
I must be wrong, this can't be
right
I don't belong, this world is much
to dangerous
For someone lacking luck, like
me
At the end of the longest line
That's where I will always be
If you need to find me, just go
to
The end of the longest line
At the end of the longest line
That's where I will always be
At the end of the longest line
Stranded
She once told me not to listen
Find the answers, intuition
Follow no-one, trust your instincts
Face the world, find out it stinks
Don't come crying, Don't come crying
Don't come cry to me
I'm not your friend, I'm just your
lover
Don't put your faith, Don't put
your faith in me
You cut me up and rob me blind
But now I'm fine
She told me about the places I could
never find
She told me how to walk while by
her side
Don't be fooled by teardrops
They're worth a thousand lies
When I saw them running down her
face
I believed in her
Stranded, Ah Ah
Stranded, Ah Ah
Hit me in the gut
like a brick through a window
Left me in the gutter like a wet
news rag
Sitting alone, thinking out the
times we never had
Cause you were my life
She told me if and whether
We'd spend the night together
She made so many promises
I believed in her
Remnants
Wasting your life on the sidewalk
When you can be out on the street,
dodging cars
As they go by, the wind goes right
through you
Life on the edge of a razor
Never knowing when you're to fall
Sure as hell beats never gambling
at all
Life's too short to just barely
exist
Wide spread mediocracy
Will suck you up, resist
Another number on a list
I don't want it, you can have it
You can try, but you won't make
me
Feel the things you feel
I'll take my chances, till I find
a better deal
I'll take my chances, along with
all the rest
The snail goes over the razor blade
The suicide squad of lemmings parade
To their kingdom, where they've
made reservations
I have no reservation
I don't think my seat's been saved
I'll take my chances, here, right
Kill
All the White Man
The white man call himself civilized
Cause he know how to take over
The white man come to pillage my
village
Now he tell me I have to bend over
Oh yeah, kill all the white man
No I don't like the white man up
in me
He rape my people as he rape my
country
Everything I love and cherish,
he try to take away
We will be rid of him, soon come
the day
Oh yeah, kill all the white man
Oh yeah, kill all the white man
Oh yeah, kill all the white man
Oh yeah, kill all the white man
