"Oligarchy"
 
Presidential election every four years
But neither man we can see or hear
Urgent cries for society
But we can see the blood on him
Do you see?
Do you see it's too much for me?
Try that with our oligarchy,
Try that with our oligarchy,
Oligarchy, Oligarchy
State the policy to me
Reap your followers' currency
What is right, what do we try?
I'm afraid I can't decide

"Doin' Time"
 
See the fight, old men crying, deny their ruin.
Watch them try. The cynic laughs at the optimist's closed eyes.
Darkness falls, curtain calls, the cynic's beer soon overflows.
Other watches, has a drink, and from the same cup,
They drink
I'm doin' time, how long I don't know.
William had 26, blew his brains out, now look at him.
John had only one, watch the mother mourn her only son.
I'm doin' time, how long I don't know.
I'll kiss goodbye my brain and body
And go to sleep for generations.
And go to sleep for generations.
Salvation:
Cease concentration.
You'll only lose the fight.
Don't tell me what's wrong or right!
You're losing sight.
You're just gonna die anyway!

"It's Only Over When..."
 
you never know that feeling till you try that healing feeling can turn you all about and you can see the second wave of life that losers triangle sets you down and out don't misread don't mislead you could be your only friend but when the hammer comes down and you don't hear a sound you can look all around and see... that it's only over when you give up!

"Chasing The Wild Goose"
 
there was a man who banged his head against a wall he banged for 20 years, the damn thing wouldn't fall he left an honest life he left a broken wife he left it all behind, just to see what he could find millions and millions chase the wild goose tonight to conquer loneliness they'll chase it all their lives and when they find it they can just lay down and die it seems the game is mostly pointless in the presence of the prize. there was a woman who had a man as cold as ice he built four walls so strong and he kept her locked inside she harbored loneliness her husband couldn't guess that she'd take off her dress and kill herself without a mess.

"Billy Gnosis"
 
A crack developed and a name blew in,
Billy Gnosis, weak and thin.
He moved to California to start a new life
because back in his hometown he just killed his wife.
He started drinking early back then.
He suddenly needed things that made his head swim.
Then his brain became a factory,
for making chemicals that shouldn't be.
Oh Billy couldn't remember his name.
Billy Gnosis was going insane,
and soaked in blue light, he played and played.
I can still hear the sound he made...
Billy burned his phone and blew up his car.
He sat and watched t.v. and played the guitar
and read a book that made his head din,
how could he have known that there were worms within?
And the worms ate into his brain,
Through his eyes and through his ears they came.
They left a home so they multiplied,
and fed on Billy's chemicals in paradise.
Oh Billy couldn't remember his name.
Our unsung hero, has gone insane.
And soaked in blue light, he played and played.
The only thing that killed the worms like Raid.

"Time And Disregard"
 
part one from the bird and the deer who live on the same to the condominiums that litter the plain it took time... time and disregard from the green and the trees that shot high in the air to the high-business market-men who take all that's there it took time... time and disregard part two one more acre, another tree "it's all untamed, of course it's free" one more acre, it seems no one cares "another great chance to put a building there" part three i used to roam, wherever i would i'd see my friends and i'd eat what i could we did live together in our borderless state survival our instinct, nature our fate today i see borders and my friends disappear man chooses my fate thus i live in fear tomorrow the trucks come i've nowhere to run my home is destroyed so they can have fun. part four from the wild natural wonderland from which we all came to the cement and metal that lost all the game it took time... time and disregard..........

"The Dichotomy"
 
hey did you find the pieces your mentor left behind? and did you care, did you trade his genius for your despair? did you walk the line? did you see the mongrels on either side? did greasy fingers grasp for pieces of your mind?

"Million Days"
 
when you're sitting alone, frown and groan over your bad day when you're laughing with peers forget your years, then be on your way but don't forget, all the while that you've crossed the social mile and a million days is worth one good laugh but don't forget, all the while that you've crossed the social mile and a million days is worth one good laugh.

"Losing Generation"
 
the systems of life hum accordingly every day, every year, every century but, everywhere humans go things get worse can't you tell through the smoke in the dirty city the jungle was once a tranquil hideaway for the kind of trees and the mountains themselves but man those things sell a million dollars a pound cut them up, dry them out, good display for the shelves why can't we just leave them alone? who is the animal? who is that dangerous beast? why were the other ones made? i know it wasn't just for our feast and now they're down to 250 lone souls they're a breed of a losing generation it seems the killers are ourselves so you know who to blame it was man with his plan and his frightening greed i don't think we'll ever leave them alone.
