ALONG ALRIGHT
C Am Em F
I've only got one skill--It's called "paying my bills on time."
I don't know what your deal is, but I think we'd get along alright.
I've only got one skill--It's called "paying my bills on time."
I don't know what your deal is, but I think we'd get along alright.
Now you're knocking, leaving nasty notes upon my door
You want me evicted, even though I gave you all my dough
I just took some pills--the kind that make me feel just fine.
I don't know what your deal is if I'm paying my bills on time.
I can't have a family or a homestead or a wife
If I come home evicted, I know I'll take my life
I've only got one skill--It's called "paying my bills on time."
I don't know what your deal is, but I think we'd get along alright.
I gave you all my money. I give you all my money.
I'll give you all my money. I'll give you all my money.

ACID MAN
03:06
|
|||
|
I stand outside and I smoke with my friends
and we talk and we gawk at the people
Acid Man shakes and he spins and
his thoughts don't come out like he thinks them
And I wonder what goes on inside his brain
I wonder if he sleeps at night
or if his mind's in constant pain
And I just wanted to buy a house
But people with more money keep on buying me out
But that's okay cuz I still get by
But it's get cold at night
and Acid Man has to sleep outside
I'm surrounded by empty houses
and I wanna do something about it if I can
I hate that they're never lived in
We might as well burn them down
Might as well warm up the town
I'm surrounded by empty houses
And Acid Man don't have one
Acid man, he needs one
I hate that you want to hate him
I think we should burn you down
I think we'll warm up the town

fuckin yups push the people out
fuckin yups man they wanna pout
about how hard it is
to start their tech start biz
fuckin yups wanna preach to me
about how they know what's right for me
fucking yups wanna help me out

capo 1 d, em
The kids are dying on fentanyl
she knows the deal
Marsha know addiction sells
she pushes pills
she takes donations from big pharma
that could buy Acid Man a home
I want to make it all known
The kids are dying of fentanyl
cuz She made a deal
Cut with fake prescription pills
You know it's real
She takes donations from big pharma
While we lost Mac and Lil Peep
She's evil to me
Mama had a baby and he broke his arm
She took him to the doctor and she meant no harm
The doc prescribed percosets for the pain
but the withdrawal made the little baby boy insane
Where's my son, Marsha?
Where's my son, Marsha?
Baby Boy was fiending and he meant no harm
He refilled his prescription from a guy at the bar
The xanax bar was fake and cut with fentanyl
Baby Boy OD'd and now he's dead from pills
WHERE’S MY SON, MARSHA?
WHERE’S MY SON, MARSHA?
WHERE’S MY SON, MARSHA?
WHERE’S MY SON?

Why get sober
Why get clean
Cuz these drugs aren't so mean
Beer don't holler
Whiskey don't scream
But they're drowning out my dreams
Pour me another shot
These drugs are all I got
Beer ain't colder
Pot don't fight
And you bark and you bite
And you don't help me
Fall asleep at night
And we fight, and we fight
Guess I'll smoke some pot
Cuz you yell an awful lot
Why get sober
Why get clean
Cuz these drugs aren't so mean
Beer don't holler
Whiskey don't scream
And yr drowning out my dreams
Oh Poor me, another shot
These drugs are all I got

I'm noncommital
You say that's fine
But darlin' we both know
I'm wastin' your time
You say you love me
But I'm distant a lot
I'll tell you the reasons
Though I wish they were forgot:
V2
Mikey and Ethan
Morgan and my dogs
Bullied and beaten
I've turned my back on God
Delusions of grandeur
I spend my day in dreams
But it all seems futile
and far beyond my reach
If we were older and my brain more relieved
I think I would ask you to settle down with me
Instead I am hopeless or soulless it seems
Darlin' the darkness has settled inside me

Angels Away (w/Jordan)
02:38
|
|||
|
I had an angel
She was my squeeze
she'd cradle me all through the night
And save me from my demon dreams
I knew she loved me
She'd spread her wings
And shield me of all the evil
the outside world would bring
But I got an illness
inside my brain
and something about it, baby, pushes angels away
I had an angel
I broke her heart
I pick up the pieces, but they're ripping us apart
I had an angel
I let her go
Often angels are the hardest thing to keep in your home
And I got an illness
Inside my brain
something about it, baby, pushes angels away

IF YOU FIND HEAVEN
03:15
|

|
If you find Heaven
I'd like to see
Don't try to hide it
Show heaven to me
I wish you were near me
If that's where you are
Then I'll try my hardest
To shoot for your star
If you find Heaven
I'd like to know
Please don't conceal it
Please bring it home
I can't wait to see you
I can't wait to see
If you find Heaven
Bring heaven to me
Heaven is paradise
I don't think it's real
But if you could steal some
I'd sure like to feel
His presence within me
I want it so much
If you find Heaven
I long for its touch

I said I only got one skill
But I'm struggling to pay my bills
Cuz I'm facing unemployment still
I'm facing unemployment still
And I wish I could afford my rent
I wish I could pay off my debt
But I haven't found an income yet
I haven't found an income yet
She don't know how bad it stings
She don't know how bad it stings
When she slaps me with seven rings
She slaps with seven rings
And I wish I could afford my rent
I wish I could pay off my debt
But I haven't found an income yet
I haven't found an income yet

Drug test the peasants
01:41
|
|||
|
In Indiana
they teach a lesson
"get rid of needles,
get into heaven"
Show no compassion
to the afflicted
increase diseases
for the addicted
Way down in Georgia
they rape the women
and if they get pregnant
send them to prison
show no compassion
to the afflicted
decrease the treatment
for all the victims
Across the nation
stagnate the wages
put unaborted babies
in overcrowded cages
increase the sentence
for minor offenses
and increase the debt
and increase the interest
and drug test the peasants
punish the pregnant

The kids are dying on fentanyl
she knows the deal
Marsha know addiction sells
she pushes pills
she takes donations from big pharma
that could buy Acid Man a home
I want to make it all known
The kids are dying of fentanyl
cuz She made a deal
Cut with fake prescription pills
You know it's real
She takes donations from big pharma
While we lost Mac and Lil Peep
She's evil to me
Mama had a baby and he broke his arm
She took him to the doctor and she meant no harm
The doc prescribed percosets for the pain
but the withdrawal made the little baby boy insane
Where's my son, Marsha?
Where's my son, Marha?
Baby Boy was fiending and he meant no harm
So he bought some fake xannies from a guy at the bar
The xanax bar was fake and cut with fentanyl
Baby Boy OD'd and now he's dead from pills
WHERE’S MY SON, MARSHA?
WHERE’S MY SON, MARSHA?
WHERE’S MY SON, MARSHA?
WHERE’S MY SON?

Atheist Hymn
02:13
|
|||
|
He is the man who thought he could do anything
Now he is mad that he can't do anything
He is the man who wades in the water
He is the man who won't be a father
She is the one who thought she could do anything
Now she is mad that she can't do anything
She is the one who won't be a daughter
She is the lamb being lead to the slaughter

JOHN 11:35
01:45
|

|
The Indians were anarchists living peaceful in the land
Until the Devil drifted over and he started shaking hands
The Devil brought diseases and the devil brought some guns
He abused the name of Jesus til the Indians were done
Jesus was a socialist handing out the fish and bread
But you twist all his meanings to your benefit instead
Jesus was a carpenter like my grandpa and my dad
He wasn't a fucking billionaire rapist bully brat
Jesus walked the trail of tears, Jesus is starved and poor
Jesus was a hippy who was drafted for the war
Jesus is in a migrant camp, Jesus is in a cage
Jesus is all the people that you capture and enslave

I'm stuck in traffic and I don't have signal I'm tryna send my buddy drug money on venmo
We pretended that we didn't have rubber necks
I was talking music with you as we passed the wreck
You told me to listen to your favorite band, You grabbed the tape off the dash and you put them in.
I pretended to like it, but you had your doubts. I pretended to like it and you called me out.
You used to laugh at my stupid jokes Now you're laughing at me cuz I'm the joke
You pretended to like me, but I had my doubts It took me a few months, but I figured you out.
You told me to listen to your favorite band. Well I was kinda hoping I could be that band.

NEW FEUDALISM
02:14
|

|
You can take away my house
But you cannot tear me down
You can take away my life
But you cannot take my pride
I didn't wanna have to be the one
To tell you your ideas are wrong
I can only take so much shit
and frankly I am sick of it
Sure you can own a neighborhood
but will it do us any good?
What if we burn your houses down
Cuz we can't afford them anyhow
