Errandboy
Welcome everyone to this here little song,
I know nobody's listening, so I'll just sing along.
It's better than what I have to do all day and all night long,
I'm getting kind of weary of bearing all these wrongs,
My bosses think an intern is a God,
But I'm an Errandboy. I wish I were a man,
But I'm an Errandboy. & no one understands,
That I'm an Errandboy, who's never making plans.
Goin' through it all to see a star I like
So before somebody throws a beer can I go get 'em one?
It's what I do for work, and what I do for fun.
Someday I'll have an office building unlike other ones,
Filled with homeless former ceo's that started out as one,
I'm an Errandboy, and it's not much to be,
But I'm an Errandboy, three cheers for those like me,
I'm an Errandboy, it's the new way to be free,
At least on payments of fifty bucks a week.
Yeah I'm an Errandboy, and I am not ashamed to be an Errandboy, 'cause it's the noblest way to fame,
Just an Errandboy, level one on any game,
And I'm a damn good Errandboy, who's got unrealistic goals,
That's what a shrinker said to me and denied me ssi.
So I said "Oh boy! I'll move to Hollywood and work for Beggars coins so parties will admit me,
And then I can annoy pseudo celebrities,
By asking for the girl of my dreams."
Here's what I'll hear untill the day I die,
"Hey Errandboy!"
The Barking Dog Band
Hey mister d.j. I heard they think your a star,
I guess you wrote all those tunes that you sample from.
Well the toys don't thrill me, and the loops don't Steal me, How'd you learn how to turn that on?
Hey may I have a riff please, and can you even sing at All?
They're just a barking dog band,
And no I can't understand,
They sound like barking dogs man.
Who let them out of the pen? Oh.
Oh no nnnnn no no no not again,
It kind of hurts my ears they even made it here.
I wish they'd go away, 'cause I'm sorry to say,
That I'm just not entertained,
By all the barking dog bands,
And no I can't understand,
They sound like barking dogs man,
I aint givin' them a hand, no
They're just a barking dog band,
And no I can't understand,
They sound like barking dogs man,
They need to play kick the can,
Oh they're just a barking dog band,
I'm glad I can't understand,
They sound like barking dogs man,
Come get them off my land.
This Old World
This Old World, I hear her cry,
And all her days and nights are only filled with goodbyes,
From broken hearts, true love has gone,
Forgotten souls, under the setting sun.
Deep in my heart I know there's a reason why,
There's a reason why, everything that lives must die.
And when they put me in the ground,
I'll know that this old world, this old world will just keep spinning 'round.
It'll just keep on spinning 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round,
It'll just keep on spinning 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
She gave him all her love, under the setting sun,
He'd cry a million tears, before it was said and done.
Though a lot of dreams came true, there were some others that just faded away,
How was he to know she'd never live another day.
Deep in his heart he knows there's a reason why,
There's a reason why, everything that lives must die.
And when they put him in the ground,
He'll know that this old world, this old world will just keep spinning 'round. It'll just keep on spinning 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round.
It'll just keep on spinning 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round.
This old man, he wants to die,
Walk a mile in his shoes and you might know the reason why,
Just the other day they laid his only daughter in the ground,
And you know this old world, just kept on spinning, and spinning around.
Deep in his heart he knows there's a reason why,
There's a reason why everything that lives must die.
And when they put her in the ground,
He knows that this old world, this old world will just keep spinning 'round.
It'll just keep on spinning 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round,
It'll just keep on spinning 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
It'll just keep on spinning 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round
It'll just keep on spinning 'round and 'round and 'round and 'round.
State of Mind
Look around, something's been holding you down.
It was just your mind, thank God you've still got some time,
I know your lonley, C'mon and spend some time with me,
Your not the only one who wants to feel a little ectstacy.
When your destination seems so far,
Look up and find the morning star,
Do your best to leave your worries behind,
Because I know it's just a state of mind.
Look inside, something's been making you hide.
It was just your fear, thank God you still can see clear
I know your not free, C'mon and walk a while with me.
Your not the only one who needs to have a little company
When they tell you that your dream's not real,
Say "You can't tell me how to feel"
Do your best to leave those fools behind,
Because you know it's just a state of mind.
Stoners
Stoners, they're cool, they're nice,
They're the kind of folks I like,
One of 'em let me ride his bike,
And one gave me a place to crash tonight.
Stoners, they like to laugh, and relax,
And kick back,
Yeah we're stoners everyday, and this is what we've gots to say.
Don't make me pee in a cup,
Oh it's just the way I like waking up,
Aint never gonna blow nothin' up,
And there won't be wreck 'cause I aint drivin' drunk.
So don't make me pee in a cup,
Oh it's just the way I like wakin' up,
Just like my life a little funked up,
So give us all a break and lock someone else up.
I'm just a stoner, workin' hard, payin' bills,
I take a hit and just chill.
I don't wanna to take no lame assed pills,
And aint no one around me'll ever get killed,
'Cause I'm a stoner, not a robber, or a raper,
Sure aint no CIA caper,
And the first hit didn't get me hooked on crack,
So no one's gotta be tellin' lies like that.
Don't make me pee in a cup,
Oh it's just the way I like wakin' up.
Aint never gonna shoot nothin' up,
And there won't be a wreck 'cause I aint drivin' drunk.
So don't make me pee in a cup,
Oh it's just the way I like wakin' up,
Just like my life a little funked up,
So give us all a break and lock someone else up,
I'm just a stoned stoner, yeah, hoo!
We're not the Jonesers,
Can I come over,
Everybody who's a stoner?
The drug war's over!
I know the winners,
The cops should leave us alone,
I said a leave us alone,
You better leave us alone!
God Won't Knock You Down
Far away, as far as the brightest star still shines,
Still shines today,
And I feel a hurricane,
Blowin' in my mind again,
People tell you that they are your friends.
But God won't knock you down,
Put you where your a clown,
But still I dream away,
Through all the years of yesterday.
God won't knock you down,
Put you where you can't be found,
But baby still I dream away,
Wonder how I ever stayed away,
Ever stayed away.
Then seeds are sown,
In our sacred hearts he makes,
He makes his home,
And I feel his presance there,
Coming in my soul again,
Wondering where I might've been.
But God won't knock you down,
Put you where your a clown,
But still I dream away,
Through all the years of yesterday,
God won't knock you down,
Put you where you can't be found,
But baby still I dream away,
Wonder how I ever stayed away,
Ever stayed away,
Ever stayed away,
Ever stayed away,
Ever stayed away,
God won't knock you down.
Lady Luck
All my life I've been held down,
By something I just can't say,
And I've been waiting for lady luck,
To send a little luck my way,
Playing this guitar, singing these songs,
With sweet melodies,
Is the only good deal I ever got,
And all my momma, ever gave me,
Lady luck, Lady luck, send a little luck my way,
Lady luck, Lady luck, you can even send it on a rainy day,
And I can feel the sun is shinning,
Shinning in my heart, yeah,
Even when the thunder's rumbling,
Rumbling in the dark, yeah
All my life I've been ripped off,
Soemthing's always in the way,
And I've been hoping that Lady luck,
Could lead me to a lucky day,
We're all just horses, running down the track,
Who's the winner gonna be?
But all the horses can care about,
Is does my master really love me?
Lady luck, Lady luck, send a little luck my way,
Lady luck, Lady luck, you can even send it on a rainy day,
And I can feel the sun is shinning,
Shinning in my heart, yeah,
And I can hear those hooves a pounding,
Pounding down the park, yeah,
All my life I've been cheated,
In every game I've ever played,
And I've been praying that Lady luck,
Could send a little luck my way,
Whether your playing cards,
Rollin dice or Roulette,
The house always wins,
Well if my heaven's a gamblin' house,
Will the dealer deal me in?
Lady luck, Lady luck, send a little luck my way,
Lady luck, Lady luck, you can even send it on a rainy day,
And I can feel the sun is shinning,
Shinning in my heart, yeah,
Even though I'm always running from that mean mean mean old loan shark, yeah.
Yuletide Lament
As I saw the humble decorations, at the V.O.A.
I wondered just what good did I get done this year?
There's no snow in Downtown L.A. unless you count displays
For the clearance sale they're having on good cheer.
Though I'm sad I can't be like the family's shopping,
There's something better anyone can give for free.
I'll give you one true friend for christmas,
Yes he's guarenteed, To be there when your down,
Anytime you need, Yeah here's one true friend for christmas, one who'll always know what's right,
And who'll be there by your side, for every last good fight.
In the toy importer's windows, there was no sign to be found, for somebody who would always be around.
There were lots of giant boxes but not all of them had toys, some of them had problems some could not avoid.
Could there be something that everybody needed,
That wasn't on a list or under any tree?
Well here's one true friend for christmas,
In case we've all run out, it could be the gift,
That christmas is about, yeah here's one true friend for christmas, and I might be the last one,
Unless you find a way, to make another one.
Yeah it might be an unrealistic goal,
But I'm gonna give it from my soul,
And I know it's worth more than a lump of coal,
Or a pot of Gold.
So give 'em one true friend for christmas,
Before we disapear, beneath the tides of war,
Where the apathetic lear,
Yeah give 'em one true friend for christmas,
Am I making myself clear?
Or you can give one to yourself,
When no one else is here.
