Somethin' Bad

Well they're shutting all the shops up on the avenue
And they're holding up for cheaper Chinese food
If I'm older now and have a tainted attitude
Why'd those neon lights all lost their common blue

And it's not like me to feel so important
And it's not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I'd see it so exploited

Ah but I know that somethin bad has gotta change

Well I see them working round the block till six a.m.
The thermometer's at minus five degrees
And I'm wondering where all that hard earned money goes
To her head or towards a shred of dignity

And it's not like me to feel so important
And it's not like me to go and wreck your day
And I never thought I'd see it so exploited
Ah but I know that somethin bad has gotta change

Ain't That Unusual

Could you talk to me
Honestly
Cause I never heard a word you said now
And I ain't just being mean
Cause all we are is what we're told
And most of that's been lies
It's like a made for TV movie
And I just blew my line

Someday you never made it
and maybe it never will
Hey, you never made it

Ain't that unusual

Now I feel unknown
And it's safe that way
Are you too bored to care or too dumb to be scared now
What's that supposed to mean

I'm burned out on some empty reasons
Another waste of time
There's somethin' that I wish I'd said
But I don't think it'd rhyme

Someday you never made it
and maybe it never will
Hey, you never made it

And ain't that unusual

See I'd love to be you
At least then I'd see you
Sorry I put them words in your mouth
But you wouldn't talk to me

And everyhing, I want haven't got
I'm sick of everything now I'm not
I put my heavy coat on for a while
It's freezing in the corner of my mind

Someday you never made it
and maybe it never will
Hey, you never made it
Ain't that unusual?

So Long

Don't take much looking back to know I took my coffee black then
Nothings different now but nothing seems the same and it's alright
Your optimistic views your hundred dollar running shoes and
Carpel tunnel syndrome we all had a laugh about it
I'd love to stick around but I gotta tell you all

So long
But I didn't wanna tell you all so long

Don't take much looking back to know I faked that heart attack then
And nothings different now but nothing seems the same and it's alright
You always spoke the truth from circa disco abba boots and
All that showbiz talk  we all had a laugh about it

I'd love to stick around but I gotta tell you all

So long
But I didn't wanna tell you all so long

I gotta get back to where I belong

So long
But I didn't wanna tell you all so long

Eyes Wide Open

I'm a fortunate son of a fortunate son
Living large on the wrong side of town
Too many friends and the fun never ends
Drinking and hanging around
I wanna rule the world wanna swallow it whole
At least I could kick it all down

I wanna kick it all down

I wanna kick it all down

Eyes wide open I can't see
Eyes wide open what you mean
Eyes wide open I can't seem to be

I don't take the bus and I never walk too far
The furthest I got was my own backyard
With a fist full of cash that somebody else earned
Send me some more when it all got burned
I wanna take control wanna make it all mine
At least I could kick it all down
