Beat It Boy 03:39
Beat it boy go on an run – we got no time for one young We want three years’ experience – masters or equivalent Beat it boy we got no work Try downtown try dishes – why’d you major in costly wishes Typewriters and ancient authors – don’t feed your crying daughter Beat it boy we got no work Keys and pens I can push – I won’t ever touch the kush State federal public servant – whatever will pay rent Beat it boy we got no work Upload your resume – don’t waste our time today Don’t bother with a line – we’ll email you in a week’s time Beat it boy we got no work

Why won’t you dance? Under this crescent Why won’t you dance? Lindy to my left Scuff my Wingtip You moan I don’t do dancing Well I learned yesterday No really I can’t What did you say Take my hand take my hand Why won’t you dance? Just one quick turn Why won’t you dance? You’ll soon learn Don’t go and spurn Your eyes say take me My hands outstretched No really I can’t What did you say Take my hand take my hand

Cast your jaded dagger Picture prancing Jagger Light that incense burner Cause tonight our bodies are leaving our brains Cause tonight our feet won’t stop dancing Unread philosophy Turn off that black screen Don't bother texting Cause tonight our bodies are leaving our brains Cause tonight our feet won’t stop dancing We’ll be bathed in amber Heavy as lead When morning Sees us tread Cause tonight our bodies are leaving our brains Cause tonight our feet won’t stop dancing

Bar Guy 02:26
Hey you at the bar – think you’re getting far That’s my lady – your taking In your head - where’s your cred Bye bye bar guy – bye bye bar guy Worse than a buzzin fly You’ve no backbone – ‘nother buzzed drone One more crash – an you'll be ash Parts everywhere – get on out of here Bye bye bar guy – bye bye bar guy Worse than a buzzin fly Bye bye bar guy Worse than a buzzin fly Bye bye bar guy Worse than a buzzin fly

In my dreams - there’s another An unattainable - other I can’t deny - these truths Self-evident - to me Those curves - may shake Rattle an inner - ache Whose to say - anything Will ever- happen It’s a fairy tale What eyes can’t spell F-A-N-T-A-S-Y We’re all a little weird It’d help to know you’re here For I’m soon gonna be Out to sea And I rather you not Want to kill me It’s a fairy tale What eyes can’t spell F-A-N-T-A-S-Y

Everyone’s a sinner Everyone’s a wank Go ahead an grab a saint Everybody knows – Everybody knows Lie about money Lie about law Lie about not believing in god Everyone knows – Everyone knows If they don’t – tell them so If they don’t – tell them so you got it? Deny a common truth Deny a charity Whose mouth do they really feed? Everybody knows – Everybody knows Keep it hid Keep it pent You reek of scandal scent Everybody knows – Everybody knows If they don’t – tell them so If they don’t – tell them so you got it?

Mr. Rich 03:12
Mr. Rich gets his money in a ditch From the scaly witch Now he’s got a bad itch Watch yourself, Mr. Rich Mr. Rich gets his hired help By the rustin skelp Then strangles them in the kelp Watch yourself Mr. Rich Mr. Rich tick tick You’re not that slick The witch saw your trick Watch yourself Mr. Rich Back at the river ditch Mr. Rich looks for his witch She strikes with her switch Watch yourself die, Mr. Rich

When the fire rolls – when the fire rolls- when the fire rolls I’m big sur – he’s my guru – a dharma bum – to judge my fun When the fire rolls – when the fire rolls – When the fire rolls Hey jelly roll – waitress scold – slap my pinkie – try and stop me When the fire rolls – when the fire rolls – when the fire rolls Tristessa sick – Can’t smoke a bit – I do confess – to want your flesh When the fire rolls – when the fire rolls – when the fire rolls I got 242 – Mexico city Blues-From my solitudes – Man I’m hungry – like a new parolee – With this fire rolling Hold up jack – Cassidy’s back – let’s not wait – on this waitress mate When the fire rolls – when the fire rolls – when the fire rolls

Check your receipt – check your bell - everyone’s fell - from grace without face Hustle your mind – hustle your dollar – don’t you holler - there selfish with no interest In this world I say Try and be my best everyday Try and be my best everyday In the morning wake up and say Time to be your best today Cul-de-sac pharmacists – quiet segregators – paid off orators – seducing, producing Greed’s in the way – greed’s in belief – of every chief- and the body in with the lobby In this world I say Try and be my best everyday Try and be my best everyday In the morning wake up and say Time to be your best today Must we burn, round up - every weed, every crop - won’t it ever stop? The only thing left to say Try and be my best everyday Try and be my best everyday In the morning wake up and say Time to be your best today
