Jerkit Circus Lyrics
Well ain't but two kind Them that do and them that do Yo They got tigers lions and monkeys But I give my most attention to my donkey Pay no mind to the sign that said: don't feed it Even hold it when it's time to get funky Always tired after two rounds of action But you got to bust three like Paxon So you go off and you join the Jerkit Circus Work it like you knock a bag that's satisfaction So let's talk about this And that I'm a freaky deak p

Well I'm about to get sick
From watchin' my TV
Been checkin' out the news
Until my eyeballs fail to see
I mean to say that every day
Is just another rotten mess
And when it's gonna change, my friends
Is anybody's guess
So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
Wednesday I watched the riot...
I seen the cops out on the street
Watched 'em throwin' rocks and stuff
And chokin' in the heat
Listened to reports
About the whisky passin' 'round
Seen the smoke & fire
And the market burnin' down
Watched while everybody
On his street would take a turn
To stomp and smash a
Lobster Bucket Lyrics
There are times When you find Lobsters in a bucket Can't climb out Why won't they climb away? Because other lobsters Pull them down Cherry pits and paper clips And people talking smack Giant squid will come right up And pull your train right off the track. Mammoth broom swoops on down And sweeps you in a whole Friends help each other Any way they can When you're up at bat They'll be your biggest fan When you're in a pit They'l
nd bash and crashThere are times When you find Lobsters in a bucket Can't climb out Why won't they climb away? Because other lobsters Pull them down Cherry pits and paper clips And people talking smack Giant squid will come right up And pull your train right off the track. Mammoth broom swoops on down And sweeps you in a whole Friends help each other Any way they can When you're up at bat They'll be your biggest fan When you're in a pit They'l
And slash and bust and burn
And I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
Well you can cool it,
You can heat it...
'Cause, baby, I don't need it...
Take your TV tube and eat it
'N all that phony stuff on sports
'N all the unconfirmed reports
You know I watched that rotten box
Until my head began to hurt
From checkin' out the way
The newsmen say they get the dirt
Before the guys on channel so-and-so
And further they assert
That any show they'll interrupt
To bring you news if it comes up
They say that if the place blows up
They'll be the first to tell
Because the boys they got downtown
Are workin' hard and doin' swell,
And if anybody gets the news
Before it hits the street,
They say that no one blabs it faster
Their coverage can't be beat
Imperial Zeppelin Lyrics
Dance the dance till show time ... the show goes on Dance the dance in slow time if that's what you want Dance the dance in the back of the car in the cocktail bar till show time let it ride Dance the dance I feel I've been here before this could b e anywhere at all in slow time. Danced the dance, or it soon will be; danced the dance, I'll be back here with me in no time. In no time danced the dance It's show time dance the dance in slow time.
Gets machine-gunned from her seat
They'll send some joker with a brownie
And you'll see it all complete
So I'm watchin' and I'm waitin'
Hopin' for the best
Even think I'll go to prayin'
Every time I hear 'em sayin'
That there's no way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
No way to delay
That trouble comin' every day
Hey you know something people
I'm not black
But there's a whole lots a times
I wish I could say I'm not white
Well, I seen the fires burnin'
And the local people turnin'
On the merchants and the shops
Who used to sell their brooms and mops
And every other household item
Watched the mob just turn and bite 'em
And they say it served 'em right
Because a few of them are white,
And it's the same across the nation
Black & white discrimination
They're yellin' "You can't understand me!"
And all the other crap they hand me
In the papers and TV
'N all that mass stupidity
That seems to grow more ever
Cresswell Street Lyrics
You take comfort from your window You take refuge in the sky You can't bare to see the ocean Falling, falling If your Over there i'm over here If your Over there i'm over here Met you on the street on tuesday Stood like statues in the snow Pushed your head back it was melting in your eyes There was a tear I don't know If your Over there i'm over here Looking If your Over there i'm here Across the street If your O

Each time you hear some nitwit say
He wants to go and do you in
Because the color of your skin
Just don't appeal to him
(No matter if it's black or white)
Because he's out for blood tonight
You know we gotta sit around at home
And watch this thing begin
But I bet there won't be many left
To see it really end
'Cause the fire in the street
Ain't like the fire in my heart
And in the eyes of all these people
Don't you know that this could start
On any street in any town
In any state if any clown
Decides that now's the time to fight
For some ideal he thinks is right
And if a million more agree
There ain't no great society
As it applies to you and me
Our country isn't free
And the law refuses to see
If all that you can ever be
Is just a lousy janitor
Unless your uncle owns a store
You know that five in every four
Just one amount and nothin' more
Don't watch the rats go across the floor
And make up songs about being poor
Blow you harmonica son!
