- Track Name: Old Glory
-
In the days of blood and courage
As history wrote her next page
The farmers spoke their freedom over ale
They drew the borders and dug in
Against a king and parliaments whim
And old glory flew over it all
Lofty ideals forever fly
But the real world costs a real price
And there’s no telling how tall
The whiskey farmers soon found out
What the slaves knew all about
And old glory flew above it all
The truths that were self evident
The inalienable rights of all men
Didn’t stop the wars over what was a man
Coats of blue trails of tears
Internment camps ethnic fears
And old glory flew above all them
Circumstance to pomp
Fourth horseman will romp
Someday under a summer sky
The emperor is crowned on the fourth of July
A man born to govern for all
He knows what’ s best for all our good
Speaks through Twitter and Facebook
And old glory lines the palace halls - Track Name: Orem Ain't Got No Head Cheese
-
Have you ever licked your finger
In the blue Kentucky rain
Powder in your nose
Rotten eggs in your brain?
I’m a lonely little blob
Scaring wolverines
Please don’t take a bath
While the spoon moon gleams
I kissed my love
And then I lost it
Looking out
At the valley deep
Powdered fingers
Blew out my eyes
But now I can’t
Get my sleep
And Orem never did get his head cheese
From green tragedy
My love and I reborn
They trimmed off the fat
On that dewy summer morn
Pure essence am I
All powerful I bloom
Beware all ye before me
I laugh at your broom
I kissed my love
And then I lost it
Looking out
At the valley deep
Powdered fingers
Blew out my eyes
But now I can’t
Get my sleep
And Orem never did get his head cheese
And if you want to know
Just go ask Bill and Joe - Track Name: Sick Eyes Blue
-
You can be my secret garden
And I your soldier boy
I chased you from my dreams
But I can’t play without your toys
When you wedged yourself
And I was in my pain
I was down in the desert
Listening to the distant rain
Ooh ooh tell me true
Ooh ooh sick eyes blue
Well I’m lying on the floor
With my foot next to my head
I’m doing fine baby
Except without you I feel dead
Ooh ooh tell me true
Ooh ooh sick eyes blue - Track Name: True Love
-
Sometimes you need the pain
Just like you need the rain
Sometimes it’s the only way to see
The only way to be
And you will know true love
It’s the one thing that’s always there
You can see it all everywhere
And it’s all up to how well you die
And every day to accept it you try
In the days that feel like the last
Seeing things about to pass
You will not forget ever
What you were left trying to remember
Sometimes you forget to wish things last
Then they’re shot into the past
That sorrow you heard about tasting sweet
Sometimes that’s all you’re ever going to have to eat
And the day has come to give God praise
For the things you found in your days
The day has come to walk the line
Realize you can call no thing mine - Track Name: Rage
-
I’ll try to take my rage
Put some pity in its place
This is a long-term fight
Hard to tell just what is right
My stomach growls to be obeyed
And hairs stand up on my nape
The weight of days can bring me down
Trying to see past the corner before I go round
I’ll try to change my disgust
To an empathy that I can trust
Your molten words fell on my ears
So hard now to remember your tears
There are new tricks that must be learned
I can’t judge how much you deserve to burn
I search for my role and ask how do I live
With this blinding rage that does not forgive
I’ll try not to be mad
Remember all you did not have
That you could not be expected to give
Do you regret that we all live?
We’re a million miles apart
No one will be the first to decide to start
The tongues we speak are not the same
No one to come will bear your name - Track Name: Not Noble The Struggle
-
Tears they fell on the seventh day
Perfect storm did not abate
Age and time ate at my home
What I deserved left me alone
Not many pieces left to retrieve
Nor many people I could deceive
So I lied from myself
Every casual moment life and death
The neatest times of my life
How I regretted letting them die
But I deserved to have my way
It was there in everything I’d say
Little deals and I kept the rights
Little phone calls to the lights
Little castles made of bytes
Little faces you get it right
So I set out across a land
Took a woman in my hand
She tried to smile as best she could
As she dragged the dead wood
Sometimes the way I’d train my eyes
Left precious things out of sight
Mr Hyde was in the glass
Getting ready to kick ass
When my race is run
It wasn’t a noble one
Not a warrior
Not righteous
If this is firing
Of clay
I have to take it
How I was faithless
Not straight up
Never righteous
A bully
John Riggins on the floor
Without his Super Bowl
John Lennon at the Troubadour
Without his drugs and alcohol
And so I sit between my walls
Erected by the beck and call
Of those that put me on
And let me know what must be done
And get away with what I can
And still be an honest man
Day by day count regrets
Don’t know what I’d do different if I did it again
