Jonas Salk
it's like the opposite of a country song,
the way my life is getting along
oh, mama, if you could only see me now
you witnessed all of my misery
and shed so many tears for me
oh, mama, if you could only see me now
one thing that I know for sure;
Jonas Salk was too late for the cure
never quite knew the amount of pain
because you sucked it all up so you could hear me complain
oh, Jonas... Jonas Salk...
I met a girl, she's a friend of mine,
she's good to me and she's oh, so fine,
oh, mama, if you could only see me now
she said, "Listen to this, oh can't you see,
In all the best ways, you're ruining me"
oh, mama, if you could only see me now
Where you are, I don't quite know,
but tell Dr. Salk he was too damn slow
never quite knew the amount of pain
but I'm sure it drove you completely insane
oh, Jonas... Jonas Salk...
ma, look what I can do!
I've got no debt, I can see my kids,
got a great job, see what I did?
oh, mama, can you see me now?
can you gaze down from the sky at me?
can you cheer me on? oh man, I wanna believe
oh, mama, I hope you can see me now
can you hear me sing? can you hear these chords?
for, "a song is a prayer unto the Lord"
can you ask Him to let you play this in heaven
and tell him to crank it clear up to eleven...
...for Jonas... Jonas Salk...

nature girl
It's getting cold and things are changing round here
You can feel it in the air, and it's so clear
And while she's out there driving round chasing fall leaves
It's time to get out my shit and roll up my sleeves
And let you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, nature girl, I've been thinkin bout you
Her camera lens all up in that rattlesnake
It's enough to make most grown man sweat and shake
petals poppin' in asymmetry
flowing river frozen perfectly
I gotta let you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, nature girl, I've been thinkin bout you
She kinda owns the place up in those trees
Day or nighttime, she do as she please
Creatures coming know she'll do no harm
Marching up the path in uniform
And let you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, nature girl, I've been thinkin' 'bout you

20p
you can't touch me
you can't phase me
you can't get near, not even close at all
cause I'm still here
cause we're still here
cause we're here through spring summer and fall
and we're lasting
and we're blasting
and we're casting next year already
cause were fed up
from the head up
from the neck down, we're tired, can't you see
(chorus)
we've had it up to here, we're done with you
we're on the edge can you not see we're through
you're finished now, and everyone's with me
we're almost there, you're not worth 20p
we're tryin'
and they're dyin'
and you've taken so many we love
so let's go down
and let's throw down
and we'll knock down and laugh from above
(chorus)
cause we've had it up to here, we're done with you
we're on the edge can you not see we're through
you're finished now, and everyone's with me
we're almost there, you're not worth 20p
so this one's
for my sons
and all they've conquered over here
and it's true
it's for you
and the loved ones we've lost throughout the year
it's been insane
and we're in pain
and it seems like mourning's all we knew
but guess what?
kiss out butts
because we survived all you threw
(chorus)
cause we've had it up to here, we're done with you
we're on the edge can you not see we're through
you're finished now, and everyone's with me
we're almost there, you're not worth 20p

Cut Me Open
It ain't dead, it ain't dead
No matter how far I try to push it from my head
If I'm in the car or in the middle of my bed
It ain't dead
You drag it out, you drag it out
Even if I protest or you nag or I pout
It's all a success, without a doubt
You drag it out
It's in the way that you move, in the way that you move
It's in the way that you think and the emotions you prove
It's all in your rhythm, and the way that you groove
It's in the way that you move
(Chorus)
You keep me going all night long
You squeeze me like a sponge and keep me strong
You cut me open with a knife
And figure out the secrets of my life
And you're always here, you're always here
You keep me grinning from ear to ear
You could lead me through hell and I'd have no fear
Cause you're always here, you're always here
(Chorus)
You keep me going all night long
You squeeze me like a sponge and keep me strong
You cut me open with a knife
And figure out the secrets of my life
(Chorus)
You keep me going all night long
You squeeze me like a sponge and keep me strong
You crack my skull and sort out all the mess
It's quite effective, yeah, I must confess
You've got the head for the logistic plans
You've got the heart to calm my shaking hands
So you cut me open with a knife
It's how I want to life my life

Baby Steps
Last week was kinda lame
And I know that you felt the same
Being quiet does kinda stink
Wanted to give you some time to think
What went down, I'm not quite sure
But it kinda felt like manure
One thing we did learn
Is that we don't wanna crash and burn
(chorus)
I don't know just went wrong
It just went on way too long
But one thing that I know
is how it's not supposed to go
But just one foot at a time
Baby steps will be just fine
We're progressing day by day
I know we'll be okay
I know you feel we're stuck
and I know you feel it sucks
But all it takes is time
We'll make it past that line
In the meantime we'll make do
And do the best at what we choose to do
because were not the only things
for which we have hopes and dreams
(chorus)
I don't know just went wrong
It just went on way too long
But one thing that I know
is how it's not supposed to go
But just one foot at a time
Baby steps will be just fine
We're progressing day by day
I know we'll be okay
(chorus 2)
I'm not the smartest guy
I'm okay, and I get by
but one thing that I know
is how it's not supposed to go
Just one foot at a time
Baby steps will be just fine
We're progressing day by day
I know we'll be okay
With our toes at that line
When the time comes, you'll be mine
I'll be yours as well
This is the story that I tell
So with each foot in the air
We'll take that step as a pair
into the other side
But for now, let's enjoy the ride

oops, she did it again

oops, she did it again
this may be the last chance that I have
so I'll take whatever I can grab
after everyone's words are ignored
and all the treatment the state can afford
goes under
The bridge
son of
a bitch,
oops, she did it again
I'd like to see her get back on her feet
get some sleep and get something to eat
skirting 'round the issue so slightly,
everyone's treating this too lightly
"she's got no
regrets
so place
your bets
oops, look! she did it again"
(bridge)
she might think she's smart, but she'll be a statistic
textbook depressed masochistic
"she's an example," say all the dip sticks
am I the only one here being realistic?
but no, oops, she did it again
and again...
(she did it again, oh no, oh lord, she did it again)

The Shakes
oh baby, I've got the shakes
And if that's all we have time for, well, we gotta do what it takes
And sweets, we're raising out tots
And I'll still be happy if that's all we got
And our love is so fast, it's Sonic
And if our love was a plague, it'd be bubonic
and my love for you, it's like... hot dog!
It ain't chilly, baby, but it's cheesy, and it's back-logged
Oh baby, my sweet angel, can you take my order?
And if you ain't happy here, love, we'll make a run for the border
