going going gone

who died and made you king of the afterlife? / the longer you wait, the less you’re a mastermind / slipping through the cracks, where there is no turning back / the hand that gives will surely take away / you’re writing checks your heart will never pay / had filet mignon, now you got chef boyardee / i wrote it down in a song / now it’s going, going, gone / you made your bed, it’s time that you lay in it / you won’t admit when it’s turning violent / the means to an end and now you twist in the wind / a steady diet of dying / have-nots have nothing to lose / and there is no point in lying / if you’ve got nothing to prove / too many ill-gotten gains / can’t seem to stay in the lanes / done rubbin’ noses in dirt / isn’t it all fun and games until someone gets hurt? / new lease on life as long as it’s spent with you / ask me who’s who and I haven’t got a clue / sharing everything, you’ve got to, therefore i do / i wrote it down in a song / now it’s going, going, gone

garbage in / garbage out

i don’t think you’re aware, of years of wearin’ and tearin’ / fair is fair and good isn’t good enough / that’s when things started south, like from the brain to the mouth / no doubt, garbage in garbage out / been burnin’ both ends / made so many new friends / scratchin’ our heads / counting on perpetual motion / i‘d settle for a one way ticket to somewhere / we didn’t come this far to simply lower the bar / so obsolete we’re state of the art / cuttin’ corners until its unrecognizable / the lies you tell make time to dine in hell / been runnin’ on empty / just tryin to make ends meet / been burstin’ at the seams / the seam is where both ends meet / i’ll settle for a round trip ticket to nowhere / there is no future / just what we make for ourselves / can’t count on anyone else / so face the music / put all your faith in the band / it feels so good to be bad / are you half asleep or half awake? / it’s a mistake you’ll take to the grave

three lefts

let’s call it quits before we begin / when the shit hits the fan i’m guessing you’ll be sittin’ on the sidelines chewing your cheek / no risk, no reward, nor score to be beat / because one punch is a fight / two wrongs might make my night / three lefts make it right / over and over with no end in sight / it’s got my feet to the fire, and my head to the block / what’s good for the gander is not for the flock / quick as a whip, sharp as a tack / serious as a heart attack / spit at me and I’ll smile right back cuz I’ve seen the future’s individually wrapped / i’m a 21st century monkey / a slave to the incorporated creatures on t.v. / i’ve got an awful lot of gadgets with 4g / they got a personality for me / stealing lines to speak your mind / living lies they drop like flies / it’s got my feet to the fire, and my head to the block / what’s good for the gander is not for the flock

now you see me

sometimes i feel like i have died before / there’s something wrong in my head / tell me your secret, what you’re fighting for / ‘cause I’m no good to you dead / it’s all who you know and how the strings are pulled / now you see me now you don’t / what did you say? i wasn’t listening / too much to ask me not to ask / i’d sell my soul for peace of mind in fact / still have enough to buy it back / they’ll poke and prod and ask politely / your secret’s still safe with me / your best bet’s your best guess / bet I can guess what your best at / own your own, you’re on your own / hate to have to tell you so / the new age is old news / they don’t make ‘em like they used to / what’s in store is such a bore / they won’t be coming back for more / i’ll take whatever you can give to me / as long as it is for free / it’s all who you know and how the strings are pulled / now you see me now you don’t...
