You don`t understand me But if the feeling was right You might comprehend me And why do you feel the need to tease me Why don`t you turn it around It might be easier to please me And there`s always another point of view A better way to do the things we do And how can you know me and I know you If nothing is true What do you think that you are doing Who is the fool, the fool Or the fool that you are fooling Fool that you are fooling And maybe I just don`t see the reason reason But in the court of my heart Your ignorance is treason And there`s always another point of view A better way to do the things we do And how can you know me and I know you If nothing is true You think you know how I feel It`s not that big of a deal There`s no such thing, it`s not real You don`t understand me But if the feeling was right You might comprehend me And I don`t claim to understand you But I`ve been looking around And I haven`t found anybody like you And there`s always another point of view A better way to do the things we do And how can you know me and I know you If nothing is true
I seem to think I think I got a little situation So listen to me, sister, listen, maybe you can help I think I give a lot of problems my consideration But not for me, they always seem to be for someone else
Why all the people always seem to just be on vacation? What do I get from any focus on anything at all? I'm like a trash can holding all the information And every single time I'm in the field to be taught
Salute your solution, now, salute your solution

Yeah, I love you so much. I don't need to resist. I don't need to exist. Dripping blue blood from the wrist. I don't need to resist. And all the neighbors get pissed when I come home. I make em nervous. Yeah, I make em nervous. Crack a window, crack a broken bone. Crack your knuckles when you're at home. Lick an ice cream cone. Crack a bone. All you had to do was ask. Who is it that wears the mask? When you give me the task. Leave me broke and shirtless. Check your lips at the door woman. Shake your hips like battleships. Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service. Sing. Sing. Sing. I only got one face da da da da. I tried too long to erase. You know if I left. da da da da. I wouldn't leave a trace. If I left you woman, you know, I wouldn't leave a trace. I wouldn't leave a trace. I wouldn't leave a trace. If I left, you'd never see me again. You'd never see me again. I wouldn't leave a trace. You'd never see me again.
I'm not sure if there's a point to this story But I'm going to tell it again So many other people try to tell the tale Not one of them knows the end
It was a junk-house in South Carolina Held a boy the age of ten Along with his older brother Billy And their mother and her boyfriend Who was a triple loser with some blue tattoos That were given to him when he was young And a drunk temper that was easy to lose And thank God he didn't own a gun
Well, Billy woke up in the back of his truck Took a minute to open his eyes He took a peep into the back of the house And found himself a big surprise He didn't see his brother, but there was his mother With her red-headed head in her hands While the boyfriend had his gloves wrapped around an old priest Trying to choke the man
Billy looked up from the window to the truck Threw up and had to struggle to stand He saw that rednecked bastard with a hammer Turn the priest into a shell of a man The priest was putting up the fight of his life But he was old and he was bound to lose The boyfriend hit as hard as he could And knocked the priest right down to his shoes
Well, now Billy knew but never actually met The preacher lying there in the room He heard himself say, "That must be my daddy" Then he knew what he was gonna do Billy got up enough courage to get up And grabbed the first blunt thing he could find It was a cold glass bottle of milk That got delivered every morning at nine
Billy broke in and saw the blood on the floor, and He turned around and put the lock on the door He looked dead into the boyfriend's eye His mother was a ghost, too upset to cry, then He took a step toward the man on the ground From his mouth trickled out a little audible sound He heard the boyfriend shout, "Get out" And Billy said, "Not 'til I know what this is all about"
"Well, this preacher here was attacking your mama" But Billy knew just who was starting the drama So Billy took dead aim at his face And smashed the bottle on the man who left his dad in disgrace, and The white milk dripped down with the blood, and the Boyfriend fell down dead for good Right next to the preacher who was gasping for air And Billy shouted, "Daddy, why'd you have to come back here?"
His mama reached behind the sugar and honey, and Pulled out an envelope filled with money "Your daddy gave us this," she collapsed in tears "He's been paying all the bills for years" "Mama, let's put this body underneath the trees And put Daddy in the truck and head to Tennessee" Just then, his little brother came in Holding the milkman's hat and a bottle of gin, singing
La la la la, la la la la, yeah La la la la, la la la la, yeah La la la la, la la la la, yeah La la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la la, yeah La la la la, la la la la, yeah La la la la, la la la la, yeah La la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la la, yeah La la la la, la la la la, yeah La la la la, la la la la, yeah La la la la, la la la la
Well, now you heard another side to the story But you wanna know how it ends? If you must know the truth about the tale Go and ask the milkman
