Sit here, drink my coffee, wait for you to wake up. It's so early in the morning it feels like yesterday. I hope today will be the day you stand up. Tell all those people in your face it's not going to be ok.
Well it's never just black and white. But that doesn't stop from them from judging but you know it ain't right. Stand up and fight. Pound your fist into somebody's mouth for once in your life. You have to throw grenades sometimes, because to crawl on the skin of your knees is no way to survive.
So when you wake this morning, just put your chin up. Forget what's passed behind you, that was yesterday. I hope today will be the day you've had enough. Tell all the people in your life you're not going to go away.
Well it's never just black and white. But that doesn't stop from them from judging but you know it ain't right. Stand up and fight. Pound your fist into somebody's mouth for once in your life. You have to throw grenades sometimes, because to crawl on the skin of your knees is no way to survive.
When I sit here, drink my coffee, wait for you to wake up, and it's so early in the morning it feels like yesterday. I hope today will be the day you choose to stand up. Tell all those people in your face they can't stop you. No how. No way.

Emergency

What does it say to me that you make up your reality? You say that your problems are too great for me, but you just build your simplicities this way. So you stand up now to collect your sympathies, well just sit down, honey, you won't get that from me.
You're standing too close now. I can see you coming my way. It's no epic tragedy. There's no great conspiracy. Just your state of emergency.
What does it say to me that you play the victim constantly this way? Then you sit around and sleep 'til three when the rest of us still have to work all day. So you stand up now to collect your sympathies, well just sit down, honey, you won't get that from me.

It’s been so lonely since you’ve been gone. Since you went away, it hasn’t been the same. This feels like a game. It’s been two hours and three days since you walked out the door. Now you are no more, but I’ve been here before. It feels so tense since you went away. Now every day is the same. Now I’m losing my brain. Yea I’m going insane.
Oh, baby, baby, please come home. I can’t love you over the phone. Oh baby, baby please come home. The dog won’t even chew his bone.
Please don’t leave me, I’ll never do the same old thing. Please don’t leave me again.
Dishes are piled in the sink, and they’re starting to stink. Oh, it might be me. Yea, I think it’s me. The food in the fridge has all gone bad. Not so sad? You seem glad. You won’t take me back.
Oh, baby, baby, please come home. I can’t live here all alone. Oh baby, baby please come home. I’m drinking way too much SoCo.
Please don’t leave me. You’re tired same old thing. Please don’t leave me again.
You said that you would never leave, then you cheated on me. Now you’re gone. You left me alone. Sipping that bottle that bottle from time to time, girl you’re on my mind. When the SoCo is gone, baby don’t come home.
Oh, baby, baby, don’t come home. I’m gonna do this all on my own. Oh baby, baby don’t come home. I’m drinking way too much SoCo.

The garden

A he and a she, as the story is told, lived in the garden without any clothes. And in this garden there were two leaves. One covered her’s and one covered he’s.
As fate would have it one fine day, along came a wind and blew them away. A wonderful sight made he stare. There was she with her beautiful hair.
A giant gleam came into her eye. There was he on a spiritual high. She looked at he. He looked at she. They went to the woods for some privacy.
As time goes by, as we all know, she told he just where he could go. Yes, she told he to put on the brakes. She was too tired and had a headache.

The wheel

Young kids, wherever they come from, who they fought for, they’re fighting the rich man’s wars. Now they’re poor kids and they’re robbing the liquor stores. How are they going to change the power? The power is holding on. They government is slowing grinding, slowly grinding on.
You can’t stop it. The wheels keep turning. We’re all on it.

Young kids, wherever they come from, hey they’re back from fighting the no-man’s wars. Now they’re rich kids and now they’re robbing the liquor stores. How are they going to change the power? The power is holding on. They government is slowing grinding, slowly grinding on.
You can’t stop it. The wheels keep turning. We’re all on it. The wheel.

Sometimes I think about myself and I wonder if I have been anyone else's problem. Then I stop and think about yourself and wonder if you think of anyone else at all.
But then I remember when you're faced with your life you always seem to find the way to pretend that everything is alright. But things can't be like yesterday. I know that all you need is time, but the time has passed for saving face. I hope I'm there to see the day you decide to open your eyes and wake up.
Wakeup, you took a little part of me. Now I see what's in front me. What we had was a tragedy. You might be the one to bring me down.
I'm so sick and tired of you bringing me down. I'm so sick and tired of you messing around. This will be the last time you bring me down.
