Home
I work so hard, man, so don't trip me up Shakin' a leg like the tail o' the pup I'm payin' dues till I register heat Sure hope I don't end up on the street Home, boy Home, boy Everybody needs a home Home, boy Home, boy Everybody needs a home So many people rise and fall Who's lookin' after you at all? Nobody knows anybody at all Strangers in paradise down at the mall Home, boy Home, boy Everybody needs a home Home, boy Home, boy Everybody needs a home Home Home Everybody really needs a home Home home Everybody needs a home The life we live is tricky tricky I love my home, and my family Who's gonna love you when the Mountains gets steep? We're gonna make it-in a jeep |

This whole country is scared of failure.
My head keeps trying to sell me ambition, But in my heart, I want self-respect. There's a conflict. Boy, I feel so outgunned today But I'll get up and fight back, anyway You and I are not huge mainstream stars But unlike them, we're really what we are We got main street eyes Watchin' as the big boys roll by Under rotten television skies We got main street eyes I saw a kitten squashed in the street I read about a plastic surgeon and his art Collection. We are played for suckers all the time Phony rock and roll It's a crime I don't want to dip myself in trash I don't want to give myself for cash We got main street eyes Tryin' to do what' decent with our lives Under funny television skies We got main street eyes Walkin' around sometimes I see a tension under the surface People are just about ready to explode. So hold me, and trust me I love you. Don't worry. Keep your main street eyes Keep your main street eyes Keep your main street eyes Eyes Eyes |

Candy
It's a rainy afternoon in 1990. The big city... Geez it's been 20 years! Candy, you were so fine. Beautiful beautiful girl from the north You burned my heart with a flickering torch I had a dream that no one else could see You gave me love for free (Chorus) Candy Candy Candy I can't let you go All my life you're haunting me I loved you so Candy Candy Candy I can't let you go Life is crasy Candy baby Yeah, well it hurt me real bad when you left. Yeah, I'm glad you got out, but... But I miss you. I had a hole in my heart for so long I learned to fake it and just smile along Down on the street those men are all the same I need a love not games not games (Repeat Chorus) Life is crasy I know baby Candy baby (Repeat Chorus without the last "I can't let you go") Life is crasy Candy baby Candy baby *2 (Repeat Chorus and fade) |

The cops are well-groomed, with
Muscled physiques in Butt Town Their tan uniforms are tailored in chic In Butt Town Any young Black male who walks down the street Is gonna get stopped by a car full of meat BUt the girl with the hair Flies by in her underwear- She's done nothing so far to deserve that car When you live in Butt Town You gotta get down But in Butt Town I'm learnin' In Butt Town I'm earnin' In Butt Town I'm turnin' Into my worst nightmare I'm tellin' you, it's a motley crew in Butt Town Monday you're new, and Friday you're through In Butt Town The producer is wily, and owns what he sells The talent is eager to go straight to hell Th tits are amazing, and everyone's gazing At some body part- That's the nature of art in Butt Town All over Butt Town dreams have a show down All over Butt Town values are thrown down But in Butt Town I'm learnin' In Butt Town I'm earnin' In Butt Town I'm turnin' Into my worst nightmare In Butt Town baby I'm gonna be a star I'm gonna shake my butt far Now here we go I'm gonna shake my butt Shake my butt shake my butt In Butt Town |

I was gently raised
Fussed over r in school Fed and housed and entertained Wanting to be cool Summers in the grass Winters warm and slow Until the one thing on my mind was to just Get up and go We're the undefeated We got what they want We're so bored and spoiled Life is just a bag of pot We're the undefeated TV in the shade Girls at all our parties We have really got it made There's a real mean world outside Where many lives are lost But struggle builds character And we are growing soft I don't want to sit and watch no TV show I want to roam and be challenged I want to grow and grow We're the undefeated We got what they want We're so fucking spoiled Life is just a bag of pot We're the undefeated TV in the shade Girls at all our parties We have really got it made What have we made? A giant jail A bunch of walls That's all that we've made Oh, my We're the undefeated we got what they want We're so bored and spoiled life is just a bag of pot We're the undefeated we got what they want We're so bored and spoiled life is just a bag of pot We're the undefeated Always undefeated We're the undefeated We're the undefeated, Now |

Who's gonna tell you goodnight?
Who's gonna put out the light? I love you and love is almost crazy Slippin' through the so and so's Over all the fields we go Moonlight lady Don't wanna tell you so long Don't wanna mess up your song Feelin' like I do I'm almost crazy Choosin' all the red blue jeans Watchin' people be so mean Moonlight lady I'm on fire And I can hardly breathe Time goes by And all alone My poor heart grieves I love you just 'cause I do I didn't plan it with you BUt now we're here we might as well accept it We're together for all time Marching through the fields of dimes Moonlight lady |

Sometims I don't even move a muscle
Baby while you lie awake all night I think I've got 9 lives in these corpuscles Girl, you know sometimes I don't think right I hear voices in the hall I wake up and it's nothing at all A hungry wolf-an angry child Or something wild Something wild Something wild Something wild It's not as if we could think that things Was one way Or they would all just be that way right now When I was a kid I thought that some day I could tame this lion heart some Way, some how Now I'm hungry for the love That doesn't know what it's thinking of Searching for the meek and mild Like something wild Something wild Something wild Something wild There's a hole where the wind blows through And some curtains too But I can't hide a thing from you- You know where I'm comin' from Well I tried gettin' there under my own steam But my very last chance was shot Now you're ridin' me down like a submarine I can feel you in my veins, runnin' hot I went out and stole a new pair of shoes Some pocket money and a place to go Now we gotta get up and scream at the Top of our lungs like it was gonna die If we didn't make it so I hear voices in the hall I wake up and it's nothing at all A hungry wolf-an angry child Something wild |

I'm sliding like a lizard on my belly and back
It's a miracle I haven't fallen through any cracks The life on display is trouble for sure The drugs that I took have made me impure The neon forest is lighting up The neon forest is lighting up My brain I've learned some nasty lessons so I'm shutting My mouth A fury in my gut is spinning me round and round To be a total phony is the winning design When the fabric of life is a horny goldmine The neon forest is my home And like a cartoon cat I roam Where only kids are still alive And anyway they're gonna fry My brain You can get a weird prize for being adored You can join the "in crowd" for being a whore Although you are lonely you wish for a fence America takes drugs in psychic defense You can say what you want but nobody's there Have you got any money? Are you anybody? |

Stars in the sky
I like them better than you Stars in the sky They tell me what to do I don't care about your city Or your fat income I don't care about your Vanity Fair Or your fucking sitcom Starry night Starry night That starry night Makes me feel alright I heard a lotta mean talkin' I met a lotta tough guys-they all look Pretty ugly under the stars Go out to the desert And just look up You can feel yourself Under the stars All man's buildings Will soon be gone 'Cause something here Is absolutely wrong Starry night Starry night That starry night Makes me feel alright Like a human being Take your building and your income and Shove it up your ass- Take your building and your income and stuff It with your cash- I heard a lotta big talk-met a lotta tough guys- That shit looks ugly under a starry night- Which country is the strongest? Who plays the best guitar? Who fucking cares Under the stars |
