Lesson #206

I'm calling from the next dimension
Can you tell, can you feel the tension?
I haven't learned a thing you should hear me sing
By myself in my bedroom you can watch the dead loom
Over my head you can sense we're doomed
I can't even get bad review no matter what I do
I put off having kids cause I watched you raise his
I'm paying for the pleasure never being a contender
One thing I forgot to mention
Rock n' roll owes me a pension
Music pays no dividends, low balances, withdrawal slips
You say youth culture is bankrupt
But so what
Toss my song book in the fire on the lawn
Warm your hands on it now every one is gone
I only wrote them out for you to sing along
I use cheap speakers and much cheaper guitars
For a crowd of cheating widows grieving
As for who is left I can hear them screamin'
Think of me when you take a piss
Picture this
Genie, keep your last wish I'll die in a ditch
One thing I forgot to mention
Rock n' roll owes me a pension
Music pays no dividends, low balances, withdrawal slips
You say youth culture is corrupt, so am I
Gate-keeping the unwed who don't know their limits
With them and the undead. I last only minutes
I'm glad to hear you're happy I don't want to admit it
But when I see your face I just want to forget it
Hey hey it's lucky I wrote u a song
I keep my phone by my head in case anything goes wrong
If rock n roll is dead it can lie in my bed
We can talk about what next
While we investigate its death
Oh
One thing I forgot to mention
Rock n' roll owes me a pension
Music pays no dividends, low balances, withdrawal slips
You said youth culture is bankrupt, so am I, so am I, so am I

Lesson #222
02:07
|
|||
There are no answers to life
It comes at a price
Just a dead end when you do what's right
No goodbyes
The kids dancing forever
Try to keep it together
Free fall without a tether
I hate you all and I wish you good never
I know my rights
I have a right to say no
I know what's right
I should have stayed home
Push me
The kids are in a forever trance
A praying mantis trains for a clever dance
There's nothing left for my generation x
Except arrest and endless probation checks
I know my rights
I have a right to say no
I know what's right
I should have stayed home
Push me
That's what I want
That's what I said
That's what I want
That's what I said
I know my rights
I have a right to say no
I know what's right
I should have stayed home

Lesson #223
04:25
|
|||
It's no surprise, I've been unwell
I'd confess but you can tell
Mystery lies in the untoward
Our history is full of holes
Nothing that turns gold to shell
Turns my heart to stone as well
You left me holding a hand grenade
In the market for a brain
Nothing breaks my heart, you know
But when I see you it gets close
If you want to know what's worse
Ask first
People will tell you who you are
If you let them you'll go far
Don't turn your attention to the stars
Nobody cares you play guitar
Nothing that turns gold to shell
Turns my heart to stone as well
You left me holding a hand grenade
In the market for a grave
Nothing breaks my heart, you know
But when I see you it gets close
If you want to know what's worse
Ask first
Money changes nothing
I'm not sure what it's even for
I'm still the same as I have been
Never less and nothing more
Money changed nothing
Money never meant anything
Money changed nothing
Money never meant anything
It's no wonder that you've been ill
You never last and you never will
I never had a penny to my name
I've gotten this far without change
Nothing that turns gold to shell
Turns my heart to stone as well
You left me holding a hand grenade
In the market for a grave
Nothing breaks my heart, you know
But when I see you it gets close
If you want to know what's worse
Ask first
Money changes nothing
I'm not sure what it is for
I'm still the same as I have been
Never less and nothing more
Money changed nothing
Money never meant anything
Money changed nothing
Money never meant anything

Lesson #88
02:23
|
|||
One time I found a penny
But I didn't stop to pick it up
How would I know that I ferryman is a numismatist
I'm standing stranded on the
Crimson shores of the new river styx
So ask me how it is got myself into this
The sad thing
That's just the way it is
That's just the way you rare
The sad thing
That's just the way it is
That's just the way you rare
I found a subway token
In a drawer and a playing card
Its a reminder that life is hard and nothing sticks
I have to life with it
I have to life with it
I have to life with it
I have to life with it
The sad thing
That's just the way it is
That's just the way you rare
The sad thing
That's just the way it is
That's just the way you rare

Lesson #220
01:56
|
|||
You know there are no more dead worlds
Spending time on The Murder Girls,
This much is clear
Give them two years
You better have an onion if you wanna see my tears
Yes I have no inner life outside of you
You said to use your indoor voice, as if I have a choice
But I'll try to
Time moves slowly but it's moving back
I'm as deadly as a heart attack
Don't go to fast as I lie on my back beside you
I have a plan, perhaps I'll die
Four and twenty black words baked in pie
This much is clear
For the past twenty years
I'm taking applications if you want to volunteer
Yes I have no inner life outside of you
You said to use your indoor voice, as if I have a choice
But I'll try to
Yes I have no inner life
Yes I have no inner life
Yes I have no inner life outside you
There'll be no peace, I'll tell you why
Everybody's damaged to badly inside
This much is clear
The pain severe
You better learn your Lesson if you want to change careers

Lesson #224
02:58
|
|||
They sat us an inch apart and now look what they started
From the moment that we met you knew you'd end up brokenhearted
Near sighted, Jedi knighted, here I am, take some notes boys
So excited, you can't hide it, so why fight it just to make noise
Hey hey put the sin back in sings
Hey hey this is how it begins
I know trouble when I see it spelled out
I'm your problem
I'm your problem now
You got me coming over and you know it's a big deal
I don't know what I want but I know it's about to get real
Take a second to take it in take a minute to remind yourself
Prepare for unlimited drama and limited mental health
Just a spell
Hey hey put the sin back in sings
Hey hey this is how it begins
I know trouble when I see it spelled out.
I'm your problem
I'm your problem now

Lesson #93
02:05
|
|||
You’re training your replacement
For a job you don’t know how to do
You told someone you love them
But change your mind
As soon as they say they love you
And I feel so in tune
I feel so in tune
You’re drafting your apologies
For mistakes that know you can’t avoid
You’re locked within a struggle
With someone you love,
But that must be destroyed
And I am so annoyed
I am so annoyed
I am so annoyed
And I am well informed
I am well informed
I am well informed

Lesson #85
02:09
|
|||
Give me a reason
If I didn't please them
They had to drink me away
With vodka chilled in the freezer
In case you forgot
When the temperatures drop
You're all the I got
And you made my heart stop
Your picture on the mirror is clearer when the mirror is ice
Cause life's tough enough as it is, as it was, so why fight?
What do you want?
What did you say?
I had a reason to come
Give me a reason to stay
Your picture on the mirror is clearer when the mirror is ice
Cause life's tough enough as it is, as it was, so why fight?
Your picture on the mirror is clearer when the mirror is ice
Cause life's tough enough as it is, as it was, so why fight?

Lesson #215
02:20
|
|||
I won't show up
And act like it never happened
I'm not enough
And show you where where the the action is
They lost two armies
It seams
I stay
Both of them are me
You know
Here we are
One has no voice
The sounds of cars
Sounds like noise
The growing din
It still hasn't happened here
And I am him
Listen to the engineer sing
Both were lost at sea
I stay
Just in case
Both of them are me
You know
Here we are
One has no voice
The sounds of cars
Sounds like noise
Here we are
One has no voice
The sounds of cars
Sounds like noise

Lesson #29
02:48
|
|||
It's not what you say that matters
I told you an hour ago
How I wished for good bye
Over me
And over my dead body
I told you an hour ago
How I lost all meaning
But I have another story
For showing up an hour late
You said you didn't notice
You're over me
And over my dead body
I told you that an hour ago
How I lost all meaning
And over me
Over my dead body
I told you an hour ago
How I lost all meaning
Over me
Offer everything
All for me
I lost my footing
I'm in need of something special
Something that 'll take me away
You said your glad I'm leaving
You're over me
An alms for my dead body
I told you how I hate the world
And that you are in it

Lesson #213
01:56
|
|||
I haven't listened but heard enough
Just hum a little and I'll pick it up
An exodus of the dance floor
Still here but your bar isn't open anymore
I know its mine mine mine
I hear you fine fine fine
I crossed a line line line
When one door closes, another closes
It still hurts
And what's worse
And of course
At this point you're just abusing a corpse
Here's what I think of when I'm alone
Still with the members always Unknown
Play loud but still ignored
That's what I want to be remembered for
I know its mine mine mine
I hear you fine fine fine
I crossed a line line line
When one door closes, another closes
It still hurts
And what's worse of course
At this point you're just abusing a corpse
I'm leaving
Behind two bodies
No one will throw
A funeral party
One is my work
The other a heathen
But each of them
No one believed in
I'm leaving
Behind two bodies
No one will throw
A funeral party
One is my work
The other a heathen
But each of them
No one believed in
I'm leaving now
Perhaps for the best
Both catalog and man
Are finally at rest
The world will move on
But it didn't seem real

In 1952 they built a house out of rocks
In 1968 andy warhol got shot
Look out the window
It’s either you or me
One of has got to go
It’s gone on too long
We are not simpatico
Within or without a doubt
Just go
You're saying things both of us know
Why must you repeat your self
Oh for God's sake, please go home
Play that song for someone else
Look out the window
It’s either you or me
One of has got to go
It’s gone on too long
We are not simpatico
Within or without a doubt
Just go

Lesson #221
02:37
|
|||
Peace of mind or slight of hand
That's what it takes to be a man
Before I go, there's one more thing
You look so stupid when you sing
You were all wet and on all fours
They thought your screams meant you want more
Remember me, shy, at your door
When you see my name on a jewelry store
I saw your face
I read your letter
Just when I thought
It would get better
I was still raw
And dressed in leather
You bring the tar
I'll bring the feathers
And I'll start by myself, oh you know.
Reverse the first reverse anniversary
And be cursed to spend your future with me
20 years of this mess
And I'm less than impressed
What's more is less
I confess
Say what you will it's a bad dream
I hate that people think I'm mean
Just when you're down its swim upstream
An on my grave to place wreath
Were you shook when you were cooked by your crooked occupation
Forever chasing treasure in lieu of a vacation
Constricted by addictions and in need of of validation
Forever giving weather on a forgotten station

Lesson #225
02:36
|
|||
Oh, I'm gonna kill myself
With or without your help
It's just the way I was feeling at the time
I'm going to need myself
When there's nobody else
When you leave me
No one will believe me
Oh, I'm gonna kill myself
With or without your help
It's just the way I was feeling at the time
I'm gonna help myself
This isn't a dizzy spell
I'm gonna date myself
I already hate myself
And you must be proud
To change your name like that
To call me names like that
And pull your face like that
And you must be proud
To change your name like that
To change your name like that
And pull your face like that
