Who are these people in the restaurants and the bars
are they spending money they don't have like me?
Who are these people in the streets in the cars
are they going somewhere they don't need to be?
Who are these people living indoors
are they full of peace, or are they angry?
Sleep comes easy when you're at war with peace and
all the ideas you held so dear are reduced to sopping up grease
Drugs and sweat, recovery, release
finally boiled down to the difference between the dead and the deceased
Roll your head back in your eyes
eyes in the back of your head
Rationalize the second coming of
things left unsaid
Criminalize wrongs against a law
that's never read
Telling and old saw about
creatures in the forest of dread
Rain waters flowers, flowers bring insects
bugs aren't paranormal, they're just little eggs
Seasonally rejuvenate, planted in the mud
Kill the larvae before they eat the roses!

Guerillas plan and wait to make a stand
delivering chaos, alluding the heavy hand
delivered on news channels, channeled by foreign lands
grabbing onto handles, handled by forced hands
Handed ultimatums, handed the master plan
Negotiating in the sand
Slamming rockets into complex apartments
Apartments, women, and sand
Wrestling angels, wrestling devils
World-wide cage match
Reduced to wresting in hovels
everybody's demolished, in the mountains, famished
One army pulls out for another to put in
this whore's on the market
a sacrifice for our sins
I can't Afghanistand it
Iraqognize Lebannonsense
Iran from the Koreasons
Isrealize the Syriasness

All the weather on the news
All the cute animal blues
keeps me up to date on
how stupid people are
I'm stealing channels from the rooftops
I'm getting all sorts of signals
on the solar waves
just twist my ear
punch me in the nose
see what comes in
If you misbehave
If you wanna get on a roll
Just climb the lowest rung
On the totem pole

More Is What You Want

She's left me forever, I'll smash you all together
in the space of random excess memory
oozing and flowing through my eyeballs
please, understand you don't have to try
please, understand I want to make you cry
I dream of your strong legs
I pine for your sweet mouth
I lost her in Indiana
and now we're headed South
I can't get into anything if I can't get into you
and more is what you want
more is what you'll take

Leave behind all the smoking a-holes
Leave behind out of tune pianos
Leave behind muscle-bound aficionados
Leave behind hammer-down desperados
Something fell in a jar
When we were back on the free range
staking out the homestead waterhole
Trading ore for tobacco
This ship is setting sail across the shoal channel
with a back drop of burnt-out gas lights
laid out by a tangled blight
Infant mortals are born on the backseat
Sometimes heroes boil water
Switching over to the reserve tank
Prime time begins at eight o'clock
Eastern Standard Impala

New Matron Saint

From her dusty boots she liked the look of things
taking two steps, taking sips from our beers
and the jukebox played on
Say she's mine, that darling doll
Say she's gone away and come back cold
"can't say which way she went," old man said
Can't wait to see her again"
In the moment's heat, when the jukebox turns over
I can see her, you swallow hard and look up at me
and say nothing
I can see it in their faces as I can see it in yours
It's the way we look in a silent room
It's the way we feel without a shield in the storm
It's the way we cling when we wouldn't in light
It's the way you hold me when no one's in sight
and this, my silent prayer, I hold up to her
This, my devil, my lover, my two-headed whore
this, my patron saint of desperate times

Cancellations never happen unless you start to try
I was part of a parcel you forgot you had to buy
Cash on delivery, I ain't no back order bitch
I was into velcro before they invented the stitch
you were a child formed for a noble star
only doubts and bastards have brought you to where you are
join the club of pretense fascination
join the love, You deserve to come up
To the carnival of deliberation
leaving us to crawl in place
I'll point out your misery, my glasnost will make you cry
best accord with your own kind and leave me out to dry
I got a sweet-ass mind that needs to freak your pie
call all that static, just trying to be romantic
Raise the roof to hew the beams
of a party that turns out to be exactly what it seems

Romance of Warz

Current events, repetitive happenstance
a tangled web of misled capilleries
a cyst that exists to torment the break-beats of history
goose-steppers out of time wear helmets to fend off
the prime motive of creative crime
flag-waving bayonet stabbers in to the close-quartered minds
trying to find meaning in the geometry of time
traveling in four lines
Consequential circles never meeting
making sine waves between the dimensions of our memories
bound only by recorded history

The sand between my toes
stars above are frozen
In a million light years past
immersed on my back
ears enclosed in silence
all space lies before me
weightless am I

This idiot's a nation
this idiot's a wreck
how can you advertise for freedom
when violence is on deck?

Hymn To the Living Dead

If it's not enough to be loud and to be right
then getting used to death is easier
than getting used to life
there is always one more minute
to fondle the edge of a knife
that can plunge into whatever you like
the things you love
the things you hate
I had no idea you would look like you do today
I couldn't hear you complain if you didn't
