Get up, punk, don’t fake the funk, it’s alright You’re blowin’ chunks of bull and bunk on my mic The jive and junk that you yack up is so tired You wanna be real? Well, so do I You’re takin’ pride in defying the single file You don’t realize you just joined another line So man up, chump, and cut the cud you all write You’ve spit and sung the same old stuff a long time So sit up, son, and sing yourself a new rhyme Get grooving to the genuine You’ve gotta know You could shake the status quo right to the bone With your own song So turn it up Don’t turn me off ‘Cause your rebel yell is so rehearsed It’s bummin’ me out So turn this record ‘round You’ve gotta know You could shake the status quo right to the bone With your own song So turn it up Don’t turn me off ‘Cause your rebel yell is so rehearsed It’s bummin’ me out So turn this record ‘round Don’t turn me off ‘Cause you know you’re more than your facade So let it all out ‘Cause loud and proud’s allowed So turn it up Don’t turn me off ‘Cause your rebel yell is so rehearsed It’s bummin’ me out So turn this record ‘round Don’t turn me off ‘Cause you know you’re more than your facade So let it all out ‘Cause loud and proud’s allowed

Sarchasm 04:29
Mr. Optimistic Meet the disgusted, humorless indignant When what you say means nothing at all to the mob And you feel your skin thicken in disillusionment When you taste that polemic on the tip of your tongue And it feels like battery acid burning through your tone You'd better mind Mind, mind, mind, mind the gap You'd better mind Mind, mind, mind, mind the gap One mistake, you feel a shake And the whole world just lost another one Your meaning’s swallowed in the quake And the chasm yawns The chasm yawns Just when you thought you couldn’t tread lighter You feel the floor break up from under An arid isle of contention is what’s become of your common ground Just when you thought it was safe to venture out You feel the valley open wider But But when you taste that polemic on the tip of your tongue And it feels like battery acid burning through your tone You'd better mind Mind, mind, mind, mind the gap One mistake, you feel a shake And the whole world lost another one Your meaning’s swallowed in the quake and the chasm yawns The chasm yawns My, my, my, What frontier could we ever hope to find when we thrive In the fault line The fault line of fault And the chasm yawns? When what you say means nothing at all to the mob You feel your skin thicken in disillusionment But when you taste that polemic on the tip of your tongue And it feels like battery acid burning through your tone Mind Mind, mind, mind, mind the gap

Salt 06:00
Ooooooh, oooooh Ooooooh, oooooh There’s a tear There’s a tear that wells around your eye It reveals the sting of all we’ve kept inside That’s just the salt, babe Separating from the sugar of you and I And it’s our love to sanctify, or to let die ‘Cause I don’t want you lovin' lies, baby Or thinking that I’m some other guy And I would rather be despised, baby Than loved for something that I’m not Even if it means I lose you There’s a tear in the fabric of the dreams we tithe And you’re scared you’ll awaken to another life That’s just a nightmare In the morning it’ll still be you and I And still our love to sanctify, or to let die ‘Cause I don’t want you loving lies, baby Or thinking that I’m some other guy I would rather be despised, baby Than loved for something that I’m not Even if it means I lose you Truth is lonely sometimes, baby I’ve been lonely for a while Yeah Truth is lonely sometimes, baby I’ve been lonely for a while, oh Baby My love Well I’m trying I’m trying I don’t want you loving lies, baby Or thinking that I’m some other guy I would rather be despised, baby Than loved for something that I’m not No I don’t want no lies, baby, no You’re thinking that I’m some Some other guy Oh I would rather be despised, baby, no Than loved Than loved for someone I’m not Even if it means

If you find a starless sky on your riverboat ride Just sing your favorite line “Goodbye” A vagabond of heart and mind Wide-eyed as a child Set sail in search of paradise But on the river of your life, what did you find? The shades of all who’ve tried and died Cataracts conquered your pride Flooded your fire And left you sullen, wondering why If you find a starless sky on your riverboat ride Just sing your favorite line “Goodbye” Time and tide will swallow all you left behind (Right or wrong, the river rolls on, boy) Go ‘round the bend You’ll want it all back again (But dead and gone is never a home) Time and tide will swallow all you left behind (Right or wrong, the river rolls on, boy) Go ‘round the bend You’ll want it all back again But dead and gone is never a home Thirty-odd years down the line Still trying the tide By now you know the way it flows Home is where you lay your head The river’s your bed And if you roll at all, you’re rolling right Just smile ocean-wide And let the river inside Mmmm mm mm If you find a starless sky on your riverboat ride Just sing your favorite line “Goodbye” If you find a starless sky on your riverboat ride Just sing your favorite line “Goodbye” If you find a starless sky Just sing your favorite line “Goodbye”

Dim 08:56
I was once a burning sun Spreading wild fire To satisfy a searing heart And shine my mind upon My stone satellites The distance that divides words from warmth Cold armalites Darkened but alive and apt to reignite But I dim sometimes Oh, I dim sometimes When shadows cast a shroud Eclipsing me in shades of doubt And silence ‘comes the sound I’m singing out Shadows abound Dark matter silencing my sound Distances devour and I’m burning out I’ve become a smoldering pyre A cinder in the wake, Mourning moments that inspired Sun storms and solar flares The verse that’s given birth to bursting universes Words that wore The time they turned to timeless The bounds they bent to boundless All that’s gone Because I dim sometimes Oh, I dim sometimes When shadows cast a shroud Eclipsing me in shades of doubt Silence ‘comes the sound I’m singing out Shadows abound Eclipsing with doubt To silence my sound, yeah Distances devour and I’m burning out Mmm The season came when my world turned away I’ve dimmed and found that there’s nothing more to sing But I smolder on An ember glowing strong A dormant sun pulsing in the dark And I long for a cold stone to warm And I long for a cold stone to warm And I long for a cold stone to warm And I long for a cold stone to warm I’ve been dim so long It’s time I lighten up I’ve been dim so long It’s time I lighten up I’ve been dim so long It’s time I lighten up I’ve been dim so long It’s time I lighten up I’ve been dim so long It’s time I lighten up I’ve been dim so long It’s time I lighten up I’ve been dim so long It’s time I lighten up I’ve been dim so long It’s time I lighten up I’ve been dim so long It’s time I lighten up I’ve been dim so long It’s time I lighten up I’ve been dim so long It’s time I lighten up I’ve been dim so long It’s time I lighten up I’ve been dim so long It’s time I lighten up I’ve been dim so long It’s time I lighten up
