Califan007 The Constipated

Recommended Posts

In france a skinny man

Died of a big disease with a little name

By chance his girlfriend came across a needle

And soon she did the same

At home there are seventeen-year-old boys

And their idea of fun

Is being in a gang called the Disciples

High on crack, and totin a machine gun

Time, time

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church

And killed everyone inside

U turn on the telly and every other story

Is tellin u somebody died

Sister killed her baby cuz she could afford 2 feed it

And we're sending people 2 the moon

In September my cousin tried reefer for the very first time

Now hes doing horse

Its June

Times, times

It's silly, no?

When a rocket ship explodes

And everybody still wants 2 fly

Some say a man aint happy

Unless a man truly dies

Oh why

Time, time

Baby make a speech, star wars fly

Neighbors just shine it on

But if a night falls and a bomb falls

Will anybody see the dawn?

Time, times

Its silly, no?

When a rocket blows

And everybody still wants 2 fly

Some say a man aint happy, truly

Until a man truly dies

Oh why, oh why

Sign o the times

Time, time

Sign o the times mess with your mind

Hurry before its 2 late

Lets fall in love, get married, have a baby

Well call him nate... if its a boy

Sign O' The Times ~Prince

The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'

That's what I said

The looser the waistband, the deeper the quicksand

Or so I have read

My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo

I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo

Big bottom, big bottom

Talk about bum cakes, my girl's got 'em

Big bottom drive me out of my mind

How could I leave this behind?

I met her on Monday, 'twas my lucky bun day

You know what I mean

I love her each weekday, each velvety cheek day

You know what I mean

My love gun's loaded and she's in my sights

Big game is waiting there inside her tights, yeah

Big bottom, big bottom

Talk about mud flaps, my girl's got 'em

Big bottom drive me out of my mind

How could I leave this behind?

My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo

I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo

Big bottom, big bottom

Talk about bum cakes, my girl's got 'em

Big bottom drive me out of my mind

How could I leave this behind?

If tomorrow all the things were gone,

Id worked for all my life.

And I had to start again,

with just my children and my wife.

I?d thank my lucky stars,

to be livin here today.

Cause the flag still stands for freedom,

and they can?t take that away.

And I?m proud to be an American,

where at least I know I?m free.

And I wont forget the men who died,

who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,

next to you and defend her still today.

Cause there ain?t no doubt I love this land,

God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,

to the hills of Tennessee.

Across the plains of Texas,

From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Huston,

and New York to L.A.

Well there's pride in every American heart,

and its time we stand and say.

That I?m proud to be an American,

where at least I know I?m free.

And I wont forget the men who died,

who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,

next to you and defend her still today.

Cause there ain?t no doubt I love this land,

God bless the USA.

And I?m proud to be and American,

where at least I know I?m free.

And I wont forget the men who died,

who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,

next to you and defend her still today.

Cause there ain?t no doubt I love this land,

God bless the USA

Spinal Tap - Big Bottom

Hooray for Tap! Turn it up to 11...

Here's another humorous one:

I woke up this morning with a bad hangover...

And my penis was missing again.

This happens all the time.

It's detachable.

[background singing begins:

"detachable penis" over and over]

This comes in handy a lot of the time.

I can leave it home, when I think

it's gonna get me in trouble,

or I can rent it out, when I don't need it.

But now and then I go to a party, get drunk,

and the next morning I can't for the life of me

remember what I did with it.

First I looked around my apartment, and I couldn't find it.

So I called up the place where the party was,

they hadn't seen it either.

I asked them to check the medicine cabinet

'cause for some reason I leave it there sometimes

But not this time.

So I told them if it pops up to let me know.

I called a few people who were at the party,

but they were no help either.

I was starting to get desperate.

I really don't like being without my penis for too long.

It makes me feel like less of a man,

and I really hate having to sit down

every time I take a leak.

After a few hours of searching the house,

and calling everyone I could think of,

I was starting to get very depressed,

so I went to the Kiev, and ate breakfast.

Then, as I walked down Second Avenue

towards St. Mark's Place,

where all those people sell used books

and other junk on the street,

I saw my penis lying on a blanket

next to a broken toaster oven.

Some guy was selling it.

I had to buy it off him.

He wanted twenty-two bucks, but I

talked him down to seventeen.

I took it home, washed it off,

and put it back on. I was happy again. Complete.

People sometimes tell me I should get

it permanently attached,

but I don't know.

Even though sometimes it's a pain in the ass,

I like having a detachable penis.

[background voices continue to sing "detachable penis" for

a while, then out]

Are you gonna take me home tonight

Ah down beside that red firelight

Are you gonna let it all hang out

Fat bottomed girls

You make the rockin world go round

Hey I was just a skinny lad

Never knew no good from bad

But I knew life before I left my nursery

Left alone with big fat fanny

She was such a naughty nanny

Heap big woman you made a bad boy out of me

Hey hey!

Ive been singing with my band

Across the wire across the land

I seen evry blue eyed floozy on the way

But their beauty and their style

Went kind of smooth after a while

Take me to them dirty ladies every time

Even though our lies came between us

There is something that means so much to me, can't you see

That my love for you will carry on, indefinitely

And even though it kills me, I'm glad that your happy, yes indeed

Although it's over I still don't feel closure, please say you still love me

I'm not the man I promised to be and you're not the woman I married

We held out our hopes, we talked of our dreams, while reality ripped apart the seams

I know that you left and I will come to understand, how something so right, is so wrong in the end

Written 2 weeks after my wife left me, it's apparent I listened to way too much depeche mode back in the day lol

So don't tell Scotty!

Scotty doesn't know!

Don't tell Scotty!

I can't believe he's so trusting,

While I'm right behind you thrusting.

And she's trying not to moan.

It's a three-way call and he knows nothing!

Scotty doesn't know!(X3)

So don't tell Scotty!

Scotty doesn't know!(X3)

We'll put on a show!

Everyone will go!

Scotty doesn't know!(x3)

Life is so hard because Scotty doesn't know!

We did it on his birthday...

Scotty doesn't know!(X4)

Scotty doesn't know!

Scotty won't know!

Scotty doesn't know!

Scotty's gotta know!

Gotta tell Scotty!

Gotta tell him myself!

Scotty doesn't know! (X10)

I goes back across the street,

I tell the ol' land-lady,

I says, "Yes, yes, I'm gonna get the rent together."

She says, "Yeah?"

I said, "OOOH, yeah, I'm gonna get it."

She says, "You gonna pay me the back rent?"

I said, "Oh, yeah, I'm gonna pay you all of it."

Talkin' 'bout the back rent!

Talkin' 'bout the back rent!

She gonna get none of it,

And I eased on out the do' then, with my clothes,

You ain't gettin' nothin',

(****...Yeah)

And I got on away from the house,

Talkin' 'bout some back rent,

She lucky if she get any front rent.

Imagine there's no heaven

It's easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people

Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday you'll join us

And the world will live as one

Because I Got High Lyrics - Afroman

I was gonna clean my room until I got high

I gonna get up and find the broom but then I got high

my room is still messed up and I know why

- cause I got high [repeat 3X]

I was gonna go to class before I got high

I coulda cheated and I coulda passed but I got high

I am taking it next semester and I know why

- cause I got high [repeat 3X]

I was gonna go to work but then I got high

I just got a new promotion but I got high

now I'm selling dope and I know why

- cause I got high [repeat 3X]

I was gonna go to court before I got high

I was gonna pay my child support but then I got high

they took my whole paycheck and I know why

- cause I got high [repeat 3X]

I wasnt gonna run from the cops but I was high

I was gonna pull right over and stop but I was high

Now I am a paraplegic - because I got high [repeat 3X]

I was gonna pay my car note until I got high

I was gonna gamble on the boat but then I got high

now the tow truck is pulling away and I know why

- because I got high [repeat 3X]

I was gonna make love to you but then I got high

I was gonna eat yo ***** too but then I got high

now I'm jacking off and I know why

- cause I got high [repeat 3X]

I messed up my entire life because I got high

I lost my kids and wife because I got high

now I'm sleeping on the sidewalk and I know why

- cause I got high [repeat 3X]

I'm gonna stop singing this song because I'm high

I'm singing this whole thing wrong because I'm high

and if I dont sell one copy I know why

- cause I'm high [repeat 3X]

More on the "profound" side I guess. A few gems from my personal favorite, Matthew Good's album Hospital Music (look him up on itunes)

You're gonna get what you deserve, not a bullet less

Hey Sammy ain't ya heard?

Only killers call killing "progress"

- Black Helicopters

Don't **** the princess

Do the maid

- I'm a Window

By the bright lights in some ICU

On my chest you put your head and said

"There you are, there you are. There's my heart"

Poor old granddad

I laughed at all his words

I thought he was a bitter man

He spoke of womens ways

Theyll trap you, then they use you

Before you even know

For love is blind and youre far too kind

Dont ever let it show

I wish that I knew what I know now

When I was younger.

I wish that I knew what I know now

When I was stronger.

The can cans such a pretty show

Theyll steal your heart away

But backstage, back on earth again

The dressing rooms are grey

They come on strong and it aint too long

Before they make you feel a man

But love is blind and you soon will find

Youre just a boy again

When you want her lips, you get a cheek

Makes you wonder where you are

If you want some more and shes fast asleep

Then shes twinkling with the stars.

Poor young grandson, theres nothing I can say

Youll have to learn, just like me

And thats the hardest way

Ooh la la

I wish that I knew what I know now

When I was younger.

I wish that I knew what I know now

When I was stronger.

Ooh La La (Faces)

--------------------------------------

Greed

Causing innocent blood to flow

Entire culture lost in the overthrow

They came to see, take whatever they please

Then all they gave back was death and disease

People were left with no choice but to decide

To conform to a system responsible for genocide

Responsible for genocide, Responsible for genocide

AIDS is killing the entire African nation

And the vaccine is still supposedly under preparation

But these governments, they don't mind the procrastination.

They say we'll kill them off, take their land and go there for vacation

My peoples' culture was strong and was pure

And if not for that white greed, it would have endured

My people were left with no choice but to decide

To conform to a system

Their minds enslaved

Their souls encaged

You feel the rage

This brutality can never be undone

But the sun has not yet set

The bass and drums and microphone a threat

That's when you've got to get the cry from the inside

And see that they're responsible for genocide

Responsible for genocide, Responsible for genocide

You jam your culture down my throat

Say I'm inferior when upon it I choke

You fill my mind with a false sense of history

And then you wonder why I have no identity

We'll strike a match and it'll catch

And spread the insight we need

A tiny fire burning bright

Shedding light on the darkness of greed

Yes, yes y'all, and you don't stop

Shedding light on the darkness of greed

Yes, yes y'all, and you don't stop

Shedding light on the darkness of greed

Darkness (RATM)

She packed my bags last night pre-flight

Zero hour nine a.m.

And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then

I miss the earth so much I miss my wife

It's lonely out in space

On such a timeless flight

And I think it's gonna be a long long time

Till touch down brings me round again to find

I'm not the man they think I am at home

Oh no no no I'm a rocket man

Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids

In fact it's cold as hell

And there's no one there to raise them if you did

And all this science I don't understand

It's just my job five days a week

A rocket man, a rocket man

And I think it's gonna be a long long time...

If your having girl problems I feel bad for you son

I got 99 problems but a ***** ain't one

I got the rap patrol on the gat patrol

Foes that wanna make sure my casket's closed

Rap critics that say he's "Money Cash Hoes"

I'm from the hood stupid what type of facts are those

If you grew up with holes in your zapitos

You'd celebrate the minute you was having doe

I'm like **** critics you can kiss my whole *******

If you don't like my lyrics you can press fast forward

Got beef with radio if I don't play they show

They don't play my hits well I don't give a **** SO

Rap mags try and use my black ass

So advertisers can give em more cash for ads...****ers

I don't know what you take me as

or understand the intelligence that Jay-Z has

I'm from rags to ritches ***** I ain't dumb

I got 99 problems but a ***** ain't one

Hit me

99 Problems but a ***** ain't one

If you having girl problems I feel bad for you son

I got 99 problems but a ***** ain't one

Hit me

The year is '94 and in my trunk is raw

In my rear view mirror is the mother ****ing law

I got two choices yall pull over the car or

bounce on the double put the pedal to the floor

Now I ain't trying to see no highway chase with jake

Plus I got a few dollars I can fight the case

So I...pull over to the side of the road

And I heard "Son do you know why I'm stopping you for?"

Cause I'm young and I'm black and my hats real low

Do I look like a mind reader sir, I don't know

Am I under arrest or should I guess some mo?

"Well you was doing fifty five in a fifty four"

"License and registration and step out of the car"

"Are you carrying a weapon on you I know alot of you are"

I ain't stepping out of **** all my papers legit

"Do you mind if I look round the car a little bit?"

Well my glove compartment is locked so is the trunk and the back

And I know my rights so you gon' need a warrent for that

"Aren't you sharp as a tack are some type of lawyer or something?"

"Or somebody important or something?"

Nah I ain't pass the bar but I know a little bit

Enough that you won't illegally search my ****

"Well see how smart you are when the K-9's come"

I got 99 problems but a ***** ain't one

Hit me

Now once upon a time not too long ago

A ***** like myself had to strong arm a hoe

This is not a hoe in the sense of having a *****

But a ***** having no God Damn sense, try and push me

I tried to ignore him and talk to the Lord

Pray for him, cause some fools just love to perform

You know the type loud as a motor bike

But wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight

The only thing that's gonna happen is i'mma get to clapping

He and his boys gon' be yapping to the captain

And there I go trapped in the kit kat again

Back through the system with the riff raff again

Fiends on the floor scratching again

Paparazzi's with they cameras snapping them

D.A. tred to give the ***** the shaft again

Half-a-mil for bail cause I'm African

All because this fool was horrasin them

Trying to play the boy like hes saccarin

But ain't nothing sweet 'bout how I hold my gun

I got 99 problems but being a ***** ain't one

Hit me

Some of the illest rhymes you'll ever read...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXD13muM8U4

So you wanna be hardcore

With your hat to the back, talkin bout the gats in your raps

But I can't feel that hardcore appeal

that you're screamin, baby I'm dreamin

This ain't Christopher Williams, still some

MC's got to feel one, caps I got to peel some

To let ****** know... that if you **** with Big-and-Heavy

I get up in that ass like a wedgie

Says who? Says me, the lyrical

Niggaz sayin, "Biggie off the street, it's a miracle"

Left the drugs alone, took the thugs along with me

Just for ****** actin shifty

Sticks and stones break bones, but the gat'll kill you quicker

Especially when I'm drunk off the liquor

Smokin funk by the boxes, packin glocks is

natural to eat you niggaz like chocolates

The funk baby

"I live for the funk, I'll die for the funk"

All I want is ****es, big booty ****es

Used to sell crack, so I could stack my riches

Now I pack gats, to stop all the snitches

from stayin in my business, what is this? Relentless

approach, to know if I'm broke or not

Just cause I joke and smoke a lot

Don't mean I don't tote the glock

Sixteen shots for my ****** in the pen

Until we **********in meet again

Huh, I'm doin rhymes now, **** the crimes now

Come on the ave, I'm real hard to find now

Cause I'm knee deep in the beats

In the Land Cruiser Jeep with the Mac-10 by the seats

For the jackers, the jealous ass crackers in the (car sirens)

I'll make you prove that it's bulletproof

Hold ya head, cause when you hit the bricks

I got gin, mad blunts, and ******* suckin ****

The funk baby

So I guess you know the story, the rap-side, crack-side

How I smoked funk, smacked ******* on the backside

Bed-Stuy, the place where my head rests

Fifty shot clip if a ***** wan' test

The rocket launcher, Biggie stomped ya

High as a **********in helicopter

That's why I pack a nina, **** a misdeameanor

Beatin **********ers like Ike beat Tina

(What's Love, Got to Do)

when I'm rippin all through your whole crew

Strapped like bamboo, but I don't sling guns

I got bags of funk, and it's sellin by the tons

****** wanna know, how I live the mack life

Making money smoking mics like crack pipes

It's type simple and plain to maintain

I add a little funk to the brain

The funk baby

If Tomorrow Never Comes by Todd Snider:

if tomorrow never comes

i wont give a damn

if tomorrow never comes

i will not be afraid to meet my maker

just the way that i am

you cant prove anything

but one thing is true

if you can steal from me

i can steal from you

any kind of heaven every body doesnt get in

wont seem like a heaven to me

they tell you that the garden of eden was perfect

but you couldnt even eat off the apple tree

and for heavens sakes look out for that snake

lying to your woman constantly

adam must have scratched his head

looked up and said

lord this just isnt doing it for me

if tomorrow never comes

i wont give a damn

if tomorrow never comes

i dont want to be afraid

to come and meet you just the way that i am

i cant do anything im dying too

if tomorrow never comes

tonight will have to do

i say i dont ever claim to know whats going on around here

i dont even know where im from

i know where im going when i get to where im going

what im doing when i get done

you tell me im forgiven if i need to be

i say permission ought to come that easily

im piling cores up underneath this apple tree

singing oh lord have mercy on me

if tomorrow never comes

and tonight is all i got

if tomorrow never comes

i dont want to be afraid

to come and meet you just the way that im not

cant do anything

and then you die

judge the judgemental and what am i?

aaahhhhhhh

either way im every guy i ever tried not to be

i want everything as good as it gets

ive learned nothing but that there is another sun rise coming

all but one of the times it sets

and if tomorrow never comes

tomorrow never comes

if tomorrow never comes

tomorrow never comes

if we were all good people

we could work in perfect rythmn

if worms had daggers

birds wouldnt **** with them

More Todd from the same album. Happy New Year:

happy new year everybody

happy birthday country joe

i resolve to do like i always do

theres an overweight man with an overweight woman on a sofa just watching tv

hes yelling his opinion at the television she looks up from her food and agrees

they got two bumper stickers on there pick up truck

they keep the pick up parked outside

one sticker says "what would jesus do?"

the other bumper sticker says "power of pride"

i was thumbing through the stations on my own television

when i came across a guy on the religous station

singing "somebodys coming" sounding whiter than me somehow

wow

it took me back in time thru dwindling joy

to when i was such a guilt ridden catholic boy

im evangelical agnostic now

i dont know what we're doing here

you don't "KNOW" what were doing here

now christians dont walk out on me just yet

you know whose name im yelling as im clutching my chest

the one my dad told me to and his told him to

and i probably pray as much or more than you do

believe? ****, every word i sing

but believing and knowing, those are two different things

and if your trying to change the way a strangers life will have to go

i believe this is where i wanna stick to what i know

which is nothing you know, nothing for sure so

just chill til the next episode

now back to the lecture at hand

seems like my neighbor wants to kill what he cant understand

i say we cant just kill what we dont understand

but i turn on my tv and see that oh yes we can

we can and we have since then dawn of man

for countless gods whose only real seeming plan

was to see to it that clinging to life was our fate

and you gotta admit that lifes pretty great

but

can we deny that its killing us?

ill be here all week

happy new year everybody

happy birthday country joe

i resolve to do like i always do

i aint hurtin you

if life is anything its embarrassing

a rusty nail thru a careless shoe

you cant help but sit around and wonder sometimes

why there's never anything the poor nail can do

or think about how unfair it is

that the shoe is only going where it has to too

if you aint the dumb kid out running around

you kinda gotta do what your born to do

hey

happy new year everybody

specifically happy birthday to you country joe

i resolve to do like i always do

and i only ever make it a day or two

Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat

In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat

With a boulder on my shoulder feelin' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round

With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground

Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for the hot spot snappin' his fingers clappin' his hands

And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a whatnot in her hand

And now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand

And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers daddy's within earshot save the buckshot turn up the band

And she was blinded by the light

Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night

Blinded by the light

She got down but she never got tight, but she'll make it alright

Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone rolling stone preacher from the east

He says: "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that's where they expect it least"

And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner all alone watchin' the young girls dance

And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone to remind him of the feeling of romance

Yeah he was blinded by the light

Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night

Blinded by the light

He got down but she never got tight, but he's gonna make it tonight

Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got what it takes

She said I'll turn you on sonny, to something strong if you play that song with the funky break,

And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe to go outside

And little Early-Pearly came in by her curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride,

Oh, some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer playin' backyard bombardier

Yes and Scotland Yard was trying hard, they sent a dude with a calling card,

he said, do what you like, but don't do it here

Well I jumped up, turnedaround, spit in the air, fell on the ground

Asked him which was the way back home

He said take a right at the light, keep goin' straight until night, and then boy, you're on your own

And now in Zanzibar a shootin' star was ridin' in a side car hummin' a lunar tune

Yes, and the avatar said blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar we're gonna teach those boys to laugh too soon

And some kidnapped handicap was complainin' that he caught the clap from some mousetrap he bought last night,

Well I unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears I saw

a gap but figured he'd be all right

He was just blinded by the light

Cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night

Blinded by the light

Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun

Oh but mama that's where the fun is

These are from Dylan or Pete Seeger, I think.

We're no strangers to love

You know the rules and so do I

A full commitment's what I'm thinking of

You wouldn't get this from any other guy

I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling

Gotta make you understand

(Don't Let the Joneses Get You Down--Temptations)

People gather round me... This is to who it may concern

I'm not tryin' to run your life but you're never too old to learn

Stop worryin' about your neighbors and the fancy things they got

'Cause if you do you'll find it's true, you're gonna wind up on the spot

Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down

Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down

You may not believe it but nine times out of ten it's true

The people you're tryin' to keep up with are tryin' to keep up too

Remember that old sayin'; "All that glitters ain't gold"

Take heed, don't ignore it, and to your money tightly hold

Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down

Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down

You're a leader yourself but you don't even know it

You're so busy followin' Joneses you ain't got time to show it

Keeping up with the Joneses, it only makes your life a mess

Bill collectors, tranquilizers and gettin' deeper in debt

You better leave the Joneses alone

You better leave ---oh leave--- the Joneses alone

Joneses got a new car today

Here's what you should say; Hooray for the Joneses

Instead you worry 'til your whole head turns gray

Worryin' about the Joneses

Remember it's their car and they're the ones who had to pay

So leave (boom boom) the Joneses alone

Your car might be old but, remember; It never fails to get you where you want to go

Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down

Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down

You're doing fine

Don't let the Joneses blow your mind

If you see somethin' you want and you know you can't afford it

Well the very next thing for you to do is start saving towards it

The Joneses have been the downfall of many a person you see

So, people, take my advice and let the Joneses be

Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down

Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down

You're doing fine

Don't let the Joneses blow your mind

You're doing fine

Don't let the Joneses blow your mind

(Tears of a Clown--Smokey Robinson)

Now if there's a smile on my face

It's only there trying to fool the public

But when it comes down to fooling you

Now honey that's quite a different subject

But don't let my glad expression

Give you the wrong impression

Cos really I'm sad, Oh I'm sadder than sad

Well I'm hurt and I want you so bad

Like a clown I appear to be glad ooh yeah

CHORUS:

Well they're some sad things known to man

But ain't too much sadder than

The tears of a clown when there's noone around

Oh yeah, baby baby, oh yeah baby baby

Now if I appear to be carefree

It's only to camouflage my sadness

And honey to shield my pride I try

To cover this hurt with a show of gladness

But don't let my show convince you

That I've been happy since you

Cos I need to go, oh I need you so

Look I'm hurt and I want you to know

For others I put on a show ...CHORUS

Just like Pagliacci did

I try to keep my surface hid

Smiling in the crowd I try

But in a lonely room I cry

The tears of a clown

When there's noone around, oh yeah, baby baby

Now if there's a smile on my face

Don't let my glad expression

Give you the wrong impression

Don't let this smile I wear

Make you think that I don't care

Cos really I'm sad...

(Ball of Confusion--Temptations)

1, 2... 1, 2, 3, 4, Ow!

People moving out, people moving in. Why, because of the color of their skin.

Run, run, run but you sure can't hide. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.

Vote for me and I'll set you free. Rap on, brother, rap on.

Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the...(preacher.)

And it seems nobody's interested in learning but the...(teacher.)

Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration, Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to our nation.

Ball of confusion. Oh yeah, that's what the world is today. Woo, hey, hey.

The sale of pills are at an all time high.

Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky.

The cities ablaze in the summer time.

And the beat goes on.

Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul.

Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon.

Politicians say more taxes will solve everything.

And the band played on.

So, round and around and around we go.

Where the world's headed, nobody knows.

Oh, great GoogaMooga, can't you hear me talking to you.

Just a ball of confusion.

Oh yeah, that's what the world is today.

Woo, hey, hey.

Fear in the air, tension everywhere.

Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new record's a gas.

And the only safe place to live is on an Indian reservation.

And the band played on.

Eve of destruction, tax deduction, city inspectors, bill collectors,

Mod clothes in demand, population out of hand, suicide, too many bills,

Hippies moving to the hills. People all over the world are shouting, 'End the war.'

And the band played on.

Great GoogaMooga, can't you hear me talking to you.

Sayin'... ball of confusion.

That's what the world is today, hey, hey.

Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya.

Sayin'... ball of confusion.

That's what the world is today, hey, hey.

Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya.

Sayin'... ball of confusion.

You know I like my chicken fried

Cold beer on a Friday night

A pair of jeans that fit just right

And the radio up

Well I was raised up beneath the shade of a Georgia pine

And that`s home you know

Sweet tea pecan pie and homemade wine

Where the peaches grow

And my house it`s not much to talk about

But it`s filled with love that`s grown in southern ground

And a little bit of chicken fried

Cold beer on a Friday night

A pair of jeans that fit just right

And the radio up

Well I`ve seen the sunrise

See the love in my woman`s eyes

Feel the touch of a precious child

And know a mother`s love

Well its funny how it`s the little things in life that mean the most

Not where you live or the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes

There`s no dollar sign on a piece of mind this I`ve come to know

So if you agree have a drink with me

Raise you glasses for a toast

To a little bit of chicken fried

Cold beer on a Friday night

A pair of jeans that fit just right

And the radio up

Well I`ve seen the sunrise

See the love in my woman`s eyes

Feel the touch of a precious child

And know a mother`s love

I thank god for my life

And for the stars and stripes

May freedom forever fly, let it ring.

Salute the ones who died

The ones that give their lives so we don`t have to sacrifice

All the things we love

Like our chicken fried

Cold beer on a Friday night

A pair of jeans that fit just right

And the radio up

Well I`ve seen the sunrise

See the love in my woman`s eyes

Feel the touch of a precious child

And know a mother`s love
