Hand in the Till
03:01
|
|||
Locking you away to make a handsome sum, son
Pocket the change then taking your land humdrum done
The other edge of the sword is a gun
Glockin’ and coppin’ ‘til the warden’s done
Whose hand is on the hilt?
Earning from towns your kin never built
Whose hand is on the hilt?
You gonna find it in sepia tone
‘Cause those hands are gonna look like your own.
You gotta be
You look and see
You gotta be harder than me
You gotta know
It’s all a show
You gotta be harder than me
Try to run and hide but it’s growing wide on the inside
Purchased and plastered on every single cab’s side
They’d rather see that your blood starts to clot
Hospital bills rising stocks? It’s one more yacht.
Whose hand in the till?
Make up a god so you feel the guilt

Hate for Hire
04:00
|
|||
What I’m waiting for
Was waiting for me
Just to take me out
With a shot at the knees
And you’re trading
Your hating or fees
Meet Mr. Crow
Writes all the words they read slow
He knows he’s wrong
Blaming the beggar’s fun, so.
We know he knows
Painting the brown on your nose
Singing along
Pawn in a rich man’s sideshow
Says you belong
Don’t even see your shadow

Burnt Plastic
04:06
|
|||
You’re gonna lie and lie and lie
I’m gonna hear it all the time
We’re gonna try and try and try
You’ll push away and say it’s fine.
Say it’s fine
Are you flying,
Or have you drowned?
Are you dying
Or are you found?
Teach you how to be a gentleman real quick
All you gotta do it follow this simple trick
You know it’s not that easy
Say you deserve that piece of mind
But your plastic’s burning all the time
Trying hard to make a dime
Goes up your nose and you feel fine
All the time

Naked in a Booth
03:40
|
|||
I’m not one for kneeling
On the ground or in the aisle
I can see you mangling by masses
You’ve got style
Lies you weave, they believe
I’m not one for kneeling
On the ground or in the aisle
Brand new neon sign displays
What will we find inside?
Slide into the door
A friendly foe greets us in kind
Abattoir of youth
Killing floor for truth
Who is pulling who
Naked in a booth?
By all means your royalty
Abuse that guise and guile
I can see you strangling
My father’s final mile
Thick as thieves
It’s larceny
By all means your royalty
Abuse that guise and guile
Brand new neon smile describes
What will she provide?
Scroll that bottom third for me
Absurdity’s the prize.

Watch Me Pass Out
04:09
|
|||
Direct deposit goes straight to the fat
Fat cats keep a guarded gap form the pack
Pack my bags to leave
But there’s nowhere to go
Go on living when I’m punched from above
Above the law, I can’t feel the love
Love, Love, Love me do
Do, do me wrong
So please, please, please
Push me down
So please, please, please
Keep me down
This room’s got such little air
I know you’d love to suck it out
I know you’d love to watch me pass out

Everybody Knows
03:36
|
|||
You think that the moon
It orbits around you
Wait a minute
Hoodwinked you’re immune
to what you are bound to
It’s a gimmick
Try to keep it closed
But you cannot let it go
Everybody knows
Lost yourself again, oh no.
Along with your terminal friend
Your mandatory love
Fits like those yellow rubber gloves
Everybody knows
Dishes and the spoon
they need a rescue
You won’t help them
Wishing you’re a queen
but nobody crowned you
It’s all mayhem

The Otter & the Fox
02:49
|
|||
Pride, I’ll swallow it down
I’ll take it on the chin
As long as you are in
The way it makes me be
The fear it drags me down
Whenever you’re not around
And having a home is now
I’m watching you love
Watching me love you too
They’re just these tiny things
They’re made of us both
Both of us can’t be wrong
Our universe will change
If we do or we don’t need a name
Write it down just the same
Or drive all night to stay sane
And I’m watching you love me
Watching me love you too
