State of the Art
05:16
|

I had somethin to offer
I had somethin to say
Before my apathetic mind
Took my point of view away
Like a condominium of useless information
The quality of life has been compromised by technological gentrification
There goes the neighborhood, still got the Greene's and the Brown's
But once the computers moved in the brains moved out
They had a welcome party invited everybody
I couldn't connect cause my signal was a little spotty
I asked a server to refresh my cocktail
He said he'd send a link to the recipe via email
So I just stood there lookin at my cell phone
Waiting for the link to hit I realized I am all alone
At home in my underwear could swore I was there, I was there, I was there
But I didn't go nowhere
One part information two parts self promotion
Three parts isolation, isolation, isolation
One part information two parts self promotion
Three parts isolation we're at the mercy of the state of the art
I had a memory, if I remember correctly
I never walked around feelin so empty
Holding my blackberry like it was my best friend
My best friend miss you love you press send
How I ever got from point A to point B is beyond me
Must've used telepathy when I met with somebody
On the corner of a street runnin twenty minutes late
Did they just stand there and wait patiently?
I don't remember a thing, before computer technology
Was integrated into me
One part information two parts self promotion
Three parts isolation isolation isolation
One part information two parts self promotion
Three parts isolation we're at the mercy of the state of the art

In Africa, bright bright lights!
No lion's gonna sleep tonight

Ave Maria

Help me understand, turn my pain into compassion
Can't get my head around it, can't get my head around it
He is like a question, and I'm always guessin
Is he gay or European, gay or European
Whose shirt is this? is it his or mine or mine or his?
Whose shirt is this? is it his or mine or mine or his?
Well I get right on my knees and pray
Ave Maria
Help me understand, turn my pain into compassion
Can't get my head around it, can't get my head around it
I am a victim, I am a victim of his fashion crisis, flashing devices
I get down on my knees and pray
Ave Maria
Patron Saint of Sex Laws, he is a lost cause
I pray to you for strength, help me understand this boy
An angel loses her wings, every time I sing
An angel loses her wings, every time I sing
And they'll all fall back to earth, so I get down on my knees and pray
Ave Maria
Can't get my head around it, can't get my head around him
He strikes me like a question, and I'm always guessin
Is he gay or European gay or European
I get down on my knees and pray
Ave Maria, Ave Maria
Whose shirt is this? Is it his or mine or mine or his?
Whose shirt is this? Is it his or mine or mine or his?

Catch 22
03:05
|
|||
Erase the lines of the conclusions you drew
Wipe aside the residue
Blow away preconceived notions of me being with you
I suppose my lapse in reasoning is through
Cause there's crazy people runnin around
Trying to make sense of imaginary sounds
I'm taken everything personal these days
I don't know about choo cause you're like a
Catch 22 kid, every moment with you kid
Since the second I met cha been tryina forget cha
My mind regrets that my heart ever let cha
Catch me, catch me, catch me when I was fallin
From the ledge in love with you
It's such a catch 22
The boy is playing with a double edged sword
He'll cut himself on his own accord
Love's a sullen child who will soon get bored
I hesitate to say the kid is best left ignored
Because I can't somebody who rattles about
Putting words in my mouth, you got me all figured out
I'm taken everything personal these days
I don't know about choo cause you're like a
Catch 22 kid, every moment with you kid
Since the second I met cha been tryina forget cha
My mind regrets that my heart ever let cha
Catch me catch me catch me when I was fallin
From the ledge in love, with you
It's such a catch 22

Good For You
03:45

Every light is green
All the streets are free of shattered broken glass
I'm in your breeze, in a dream you were having
Just the other day, I closed my eyes and made a wish
I wished for something good for you
I'd be good for you, so good for you.
Now I'll kick back, and let em spin
I'm floating above pavement smooth and black
I'm riding downstream in a dream you were having
Just the other night, I closed my eye and said a prayer
I prayed for something good for you
I'd be good for you, so good for you.
Good for you, I'd be good for you
So good for you.

The Kids Are Dangerous
03:50
|
|||
I spend my days reacting to decisions made by stupid people
Out in the sunshine, get in their way.
Although my mind is overactive it's on the brink
I sit on a rock and I think
I'd rather be a nut than a case for a basket
The kids are dangerous cause they don't know the rules yet
I'd rather be alive than a corpse in a casket
The kids are dangerous cause they don't have the tools yet
The kids are dangerous
The kids are dangerous
The kids are dangerous
The kids are dangerous
I spend my days blocking out the intentions of stupid people
taking up space, get in your face
I'm shaking hands with hidden agendas making believe with pretendas
putting me in their place
I'd rather be an idiot than cry all the time
addressing the problem is not a solution
and in the end I'll be a corpse in a casket
the kids are dangerous cause they don't know they're dead yet
The kids are
The kids
The kids are dangerous
The kids are dangerous
The kids are
The kids are dangerous
The kids are gerous
The kids are dangerous
The kids are dangerous
The kids are dddddaaannnggggerous

The Same Pain

10. The Same pain
When everything hurts you, nothing can hurt you, it's all the same pain
When everyone hurts you, no one can hurt you, it's all the same thing
When everyone wants you, no one can have you and no one can hurt you
We're under the same sky, it's all the same rain.
We're in the same pain, pain, pain.
When everyone wants you, no one can have you, no one can hurt you
When no one can hold you, no one can control you
Brought down by the storm, I'm a writhing live wire, wild and tireless
There's a fire with in me with temperatures rising, my bloods streaming gasoline
We live in the same shame, long for the same fame, we're burned by the same flame
We're under the same Sun, under the same gun
We're in the same pain, pain, pain
Like a slap in the face, a punch below the belt
I felt the pinch of reality
Knocked the wind right out of me with nothing withheld
Honesty is brutality
It's in the same vein, we love in the same name, we're plagued by the same blame
We're under the same sky, it's all the same rain
We're in the same pain, pain, pain.
When everyone wants you, no one can have you, no one can hurt you
When no one can hold you, no one can control you
When everyone wants you, no one can have you, no one can hurt you
When no one can hold you, no one can control you

11. Alive
Come right out the prison, c'mon let's make a man of you
Don't let the fantasy go on inside the plan of you
Come out and crazy survival may be breakin you
I'm talkin bout the concepts of surrender and serenity
I got a resume, you got a resume,
You're not a rebel if you don't got no enemies
I got an energy, you'll know just wait and see
I get an urgency, I'm an emergency
And I, I got the beach when I'm alive,
I, I gotta be somebody, gotta be somebody, I gotta be somebody
Hey! The lights are again!
Hey I must be alive
Doggone legacy, bone and a bed to feed
A jam and a wedge you can find out where you wanna be
Can plan everything, but you can fail everything
But don't let it get to you, don't let all your bitchin in
I got the medal, you got the medicine
I got the riddle but don't want everybody in
I got the fantasy, Joe don't got the fantasy
Knocked down on the fence, I don't wanna be the queen of
All that I hide, and we're not gonna find no harm to see
Harms the end of the river, the ends the enemy
I gotta be somebody I gotta be somebody
Hey! The lights are again!
Hey I must be alive
So vacate the premises, don't mess with the furniture
Don't mess with the symmetry, I talked to the manager
I talked to the vicinity, the Lord aint got no plan for me
There's no offer servin, servin or deservin me
I pull from the planets when the wallet and the pen is gone
I take my chances when the feelins right but looks wrong
It's all a menace, you're not a business
You're everywhere there aint no way they're ever gonna
Hold you as a hand gun, hold you as a hand gun
Hold you as a hand gun, hold you as a hand gun
Hold you as a hand gun and squeeze you like a matter
It's all gonna burn so let's just put it on a platter
Pry open a bottle and put it in his cup
Send the man his dinner and shut the mother up
And I, I got the beach when I'm alive,
I, I gotta be somebody, gotta be somebody, I gotta be someone
Hey! The lights are again!
Hey I must be alive
Hey! The lights are again!
Hey I must be alive

12. Wait of the World
The end of time, you said forever but I guess you lied
Next time you keep your promise, you say forever it's till the day you die
My river flows into an ocean, not even gravity can stop this motion
Trust me you can't drink from my cup, we're too heavy, we can't hold each other up
I wait for you, the wait of the world, the weight of the world
You are to me what H is 2 O (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
I'm rusty from all this lust running through me
I guess have to go, if you can't trust me
I gotta let it flow before it gets disgusting trust me
I can't ask for that no more, must be, must be
The end of the world
Now and then I go over the deep end
And from a distance it seems like I'm swimming
Low and behold, I'm truly struggling
If I let you get close you'd see I'm drownin in you
I was baptized in a motel pool, you were just above the surface
But I couldn't reach you
Gotta ask God if it was meant to be
Cause this pain I feel is close to divinity
I wait for you, the wait of the world, the weight of the world
You are to me what H is 2 O (oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
I'm rusty from all this lust running through me
I guess have to go, if you can't trust me
I gotta let it flow before it gets disgusting trust me
I can't ask for that no more, must be, must be
The end of the world.

13. The Future
Im like a flower commin up through a crack in the sidewalk
The circumstances were hopeless but there's always potential for progress
Sometimes you gotta fight even if you can't beat it
There's a chance to rise are you gonna stay seated
Are you gonna feel cheated by the world for the rest of your life
Forget smelling the roses, the least you can do is acknowledge them
Put aside the problems on your agenda in the A.M and the P.M
Today I took my headphones off and I listened to the sound on the street
I listened to the music in the sky, listened to the birds flyin by eh eh, i i
Listened to the music in a strangers eyes, listened to my own heart beat
Today I took my headphones off and I listened to the sound on the street
Amazing things are happening to me, amazing things are happening
The future aint what it used to be, the past aint never gonna be the same
The world is changed changed changed, the future aint what it used to be
There was a breath of fresh air that came through the window
That opened up when the door closed, now I go where the wind blows
Sometimes you gotta make a guess when you don't know
Sometimes you gotta step aside and let your own flower grow
Sometimes you gotta let life get you high to help deal with the lows
Today I turned my cell phone off and I talked to a man on the street
Had a conversation with the birds in the trees
and I had a conversation with me with me with me I say
Just checkin up, checkin in, what's up, what's happenin, how you been
it's been a long time, yeah it's been a while, so don't be a stranger
keep away from danger, stay outta harms way and be safe be safe be safe be safe
Cause the future aint what it used to be, the past aint never gonna be the same
The world is changed changed changed, the future aint what it used to be
Today I took my shades off and I let the Sun hit my eyes
Appreciated all the colors in the sky saw the world in a different light eh eh , i i
Took notice of the little things that all add up and equal my life my life my life eh
Today I took my shades off and I let a stranger look into my eyes
I let him see me with out my disguise
He smiled at me and asked for a minute to share his philosophy and he said
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
The future aint what it used to be, the past aint never gonna be the same
gonna be gonna be gonna be gonna be gonna be gonna be gonna be
The future aint what it used to be, the past aint never gonna be the same
gonna be gonna be gonna be gonna be gonna be gonna be gonna be
The future aint what it used to be, the past aint never gonna be the same
gonna be gonna be gonna be gonna be gonna be gonna be gonna be
The future aint what it used to be, the past aint never gonna be the same
