Token Voter (Vote Stoner Vote)
Citizens loaded in jails
railroaded buying smoke for their friends
Dogs sniff every package Fed Ex sends
instead of other dogs rear ends, that's sad
Like their religion they are rude
like their fuel they are crude
but we don't need science to prove
weed don't lead to nothing but the almighty groove
Grandma's been smoking pot
Ever since the first Woodstock
You know pot is the biggest cash crop
listen up all you politicians to the millions who smoke pot
Can all the tools of empires
Make the seedlings and flowers stop
I don't think so
Can you recognize it can you realize it
you can legalize it if you vote stoner vote
Attention citizens
Take a break from the wake and bake
fill the polls not the bowls
hear my song and free the bong
all you hippies who been bitching since the sixties
lawyers, doctors, gangstas, mothers
students, cops, sisters, brothers
you'll be able to score at your local store
you heard of the gold rush this is the green rush
you can grow a bush of your favorite kush
so get out there and vote be the first state to gloat
that the happiest smokers come from California

Worlds Guiltiest Pleasure
Just saw it on the news today
There's a meteor headed our way
Jehovah's playing marbles with our sky
He don't care who lives or dies
Storms and earthquakes and a burning sun
Miserable sinners each and every one
The four horsemen of the apocalypse
Just got shot down by some bad ass Crips
Its the end of us all again
Its the end of us all
Worthless posers, shameless hussies
Waiting around for the equator to freeze
Cell phone brain rot its in the Bible
Revelations foretold the American Idol
Survival ain't an option
No Halliburton reconstruction
Gone's the new human condition
We're talking worldwide destruction
It's the end of us all again Its the end of us all
Israel, the Wailing Wall
The Temple on the Mount and Pope John Paul
The signs are everywhere plain to all
The human race ends with a fall
Pestilence and famine and all the plagues
Every mountain and island out of place
The devils gonna have his fun
A red moon is on the horizon
Its the end of us all again
Its the fundamental illness
Of our human masochism

S&M BC
Imitation vacation elective mutilation
celebrity assembly line every night on TV
sensational confessional
a new star is official
24 hours ain't enough to be
on the screen and be seen
So work to live live to work
Step into the brown paper bag of oblivion
on the Formica plains of forlorn lunch rooms
dreams of vacations to faraway places
hotels like spaceships deep blue diving getaways
So work to live live to work
Televised interiors idealized exteriors
birds talking to mirrors
do you talk to your TV, I do
Don't have to go nowhere
anything you need is here
anyway anywhere is always somewhere near
to bread and circuses smoke and mirrors
bread and circus smoke and mirrors
work to live live to work
we pretend to work
and they pretend to pay us

American Dream
Hurry up hesitate
you know you're already late
hate the never ending wait
dying honeybees upstate
The prime rate stuck in a crate
aggravates the crime rate
relate to the fate
you berate to sedate
Infuriate the lightweight
negate the fake turnover date
made it across the Bering Strait
but couldn’t escape the welfare state
Hurry up hesitate
you know that you’re already late
Tolerate the public debate
about how to procreate
ingratiate to insinuate
deviate then compensate
More pompous than Pompey the Great
a running mate with real estate
fear is the engine of fate he sneers
eating everything on our plate
Obliterate the dictate
of the irritated straight
eliminate the police state
and don’t forget to open the gate
Hurry up hesitate
you know that you’re already late
Exaggerate to humiliate
incorporate the boiler plate
accumulate the fourth estate
contaminate the candidate
Nominate, gold plate
narrate to manipulate
deactivate, liquidate
and take the fifth if they investigate
Obliterate the dictate
of the irritated straight
eliminate the police state
and don’t forget to open the gate
Hurry up hesitate
you know that you’re already late
eliminate the police state
and don’t forget to open the gate

January Sunshine
The witches of the Hollywood Hills say
it happened on a day just like today
exactly when no one can say
there was a certain way the light played
spreading out a hundred hazy miles
concrete buildings like product aisles
but in the canyon at sunset
like some kind of Romeo and Juliet
musicians and poets met
to show the future how to forget
and when everybody realized
they could do anything with their lives
it was like January sunshine
The Dionysus society
poured wine on the palm tree
they talked about peace and love
and what it really means to be free
they even talked about equality
and the evils of celibacy
but that's been gone for quite some time
and I'm just wondering when I get mine
January sunshine
Where is my January sunshine?

Survey Says
I don't care about holiday dinner
I don't care about mother's day
I don't care who's the winner
I don't care about any survey
I don't care about perfect weddings
designer gowns or diamonds rings
I don't care about a fiancee
I couldn't care less what people say
I don't care about superstitions
or puritan prohibitions
or suspicious inquisitions
I don't need permission from politicians
When are you going to settle down
when are you going to get a job
when are you going to marry
when are you going to have a baby
I don't care about superstitions--
I don't care about the AMA or
what they say to fear today
I don't care about fine lines
warning signs, or moral declines
I don't care about silverware
the fork can be plastic for all i care
I don't care about heaven or hell
or the rules that girls don't yell
I don't care about superstitions--
When are you gonna settle down
when are you gonna get a job
when are you gonna marry when are you gonna have a baby
I don't care about superstitions--

Stray
(Perdido)
Christmas ornaments collide
Like glitter down a slide
Like twilight on the tide
Shining in a diver's eyes
Under the tree
Unopened gifts
Bound for the lost and found
Tinsel cliffs fallen on the ground
It's warm inside but she shivers outside
Staring at Christmas lights
Counting the burn outs
One for each fear
And one for each doubt
Looking back at all the Christmases
And the things she had to be
She'd get what she expected
But never what she'd need
Trying to make it happen again
That one good time
Yeah it was shallow but
Somehow strangely sublime
Consumerism ad nauseum
On Xmas day
Feeling like a stray
Alone on Xmas day
How does it live?
They gotta kill it
If its empty, they will fill it
Is it fine? Make it coarse
Spoil innocence with remorse
If its pure, they'll pollute it
Is it honest? They lie about it
If its real, they fake it
If its strong they will break it
But one stray got away
Finding out its okay
Alone on Xmas day
When the options were weighed
There was no reason to stay
She was lucky
She got away
Feeling like a stray
Finding out its okay
Alone on Xmas day
Nothing's ever satisfying
Whoever said otherwise was lying
Don't bother denying
Like forests on our curbs drying
There's no use crying about dying
When the thing about living is
The thing about living is
The beauty is in the trying
The beauty is in the trying

Catastrophe
Waiting around for the next disaster
waiting for some kind of catastrophe
all we chase after is disaster
it's like we have some kind of need
for the gruesome worst of us
for the morose worst of us
anything bad that we remember
but anything good well
that's just a passing thing
waiting around for the next disaster
waiting around for the next catastrophe
I can see it all now cross the headlines
body parts and blood spraying and
everything we want to see
it's just a sick little need
we've got to see the worst come true
it's like we're wishing for retribution
coming down
it's nothing new nothing new under the sun
nothing new and when all of you are done
can we go on with life itself can we go on
with living in health can we go on
and have something better than
the next horror or the next disaster
I wonder if we could stand a day
wonder if we could take it for an hour
look for the good you'll always find the worst
you're a piece of work
you're just quite a piece of work
all we chase after is disaster
it's like we have some kind of need
for the gruesome worst of us
anything bad that we remember
but anything good
that's just a passing thing
waiting around for the next disaster
waiting around for the next catastrophe
I can see it all now across the headlines
body parts and blood spraying
and everything we want to see
it's just a sick little need
we've got to see the worst come true
it's like we're wishing for retribution
coming down
it's nothing new nothing new under the sun
nothing new and when all of you are done
can we go on with life itself can we go on
with living in health can we go on
and have something better than
the next horror or the next disaster
I wonder if we could stand a day
wonder if if we could take it for an hour
Look for the good you'll always find the worst
you're a piece of work you're just quite a piece of work
