on the crawl:

takes another token
switches to another line
that's how the day begins

picking up a shovel
dreaming of the summer time
that's how the day begins sometimes.

(chorus):
on the crawl
yeah we're working overtime
on the crawl
to make it through to suppertime
and it feels like I'm still asleep
in this same old dream
and would you notice if the world was spinning upside down

pours another coffee
wipes the sleep out of her eye
s that's how the day begins

pressing on the snooze bar
stealing nine minutes of time
that's how the day begins sometimes

(chorus)

arms around a lover
steal a kiss before the grind
that's how the day begins

hiding 'neath the covers
cotton mouth, cotton mind
that's how the day begins

(chorus)

eddie whistles:

hey eddie
you're looking good to go
your money's where your mouth is
and your mouth is movin slow
you got the kinda walk that seems to waste away the day
and you can tell a lot about a man by what he does not say

hey eddie
you're just like apple pie
your inside's soft and sticky
but your outsides kinda dry
you're living out the life you thought you'd never have to lead
but if i know you you've go something buried up your sleeve

(chorus):
and you're walkin down the streets of the other side
finding all the secrets that they hide
whistle for me

hey eddie
you're such a pretty freak
you tried out all the bad stuff
now the good stuffs looking bleak
and if i could i'd surely like to shake your twisted hand
spread your legend through the streets and all across the land

(chorus)

better than bad:

we never talk about much
words overrated
but we keep in touch
on the physical side
and i know
things'll get complicated
so i say goodbye

(chorus):
you're the best that i've had
yeah you're better than bad
2x

we're both lying in bed
she's so frustrated
she face the wall
her skin soft, it curve around
and it's her love
that i've confiscated
and i wish i could feel more

(chorus)

(bridge)
better than a story line
better than a rainy day
better than a nervous time
better than the words i say

(chorus)
3x

na:

sing me a song of glory
i'm sick of your tired stories
it's like a holy weight on my back on my back

and you're so damn introspective
always seeking a new perspective
where do you collect all your paradigm crap

and you carry the weight of the world on your words

and you're back on the same old street
kicking time to a rusty beat
don't you know that the fleet footed never look back

oh you got another answer do ya
well let me tell you I see right through ya
as you try to smooth out the things that you lack

and you carry the weight of the world on your words
and it's bringing me down

(chorus):
show me the heart of your conviction
in a na na na na na na
your rhetoric reeks of indecision
so sing it out, sing I out
na na na na na na na na

you're killing me filling me hollow
with the shit that you're making me swallow
anywhere you care you dare to preach
like a kid with your hand on the trigger
big ideas don't make you any bigger
this should be a signal you're way outta reach

and you carry the weight of the world on your words
and it's bringing me down

(chorus)

you don't have to write it down
it ain't some mental flaw
to want to get it out
na na na na na na na na nna na na na

(chorus)

judas:

how did you get so big
your hat must be too tight
strutting round like a peacock
on a friday night

and if i was a surgeon
i'd cut you down to size
complete with a new pair of
humble eyes
but you'll never see how you tainted me….

(chorus):
hey there judas, I wanna watch you fall
just enough to put you on your knees so you can crawl
back to the reason of the man that you left behind
but it won't happen no, no judas I know your kind

we had something good
but you let it fall apart
and i should have seen you
bubblin over the top
from the start

and if i were a painter
i'd put you up on my wall
exaggerate the beauty
of it all
but you'll never see how you tainted me…

(chorus)

stand back or feel my venom
on you and your baggy demin
walkin tall over the things we built together
get off of the horse you road in on
it's only my scarred opinion
you're a shadow of the past
hey there judas…

(chorus)

western man:

let me introduce the fellah
group him under one umbrella
called the western man I tell ya
he's something you should see

break him down he'll build another
next time round he'll take it further
in the end he'll call you brother in his own democracy

freedom rings across his nation
built it up through immigration
high pay checks and long vacations
is what he's got galore

a self-made man creates a fortune
overlooks the land he's scorchin
buys it cheap across the ocean
shipped right to your door

(chorus): we all try to take a side where we can make our stand
with a sigh, do or die, and they've come to kill the western man

he'll sign them on as inventory
disregard their sacred story
if they refuse they'll feel the fury
of all that he can do.

he befriends they fall asunder
he recalls a tiny blunder
depends on which regime you're under
to change your attitude

(chorus):
desperate pride suicide, and they've come to kill the western man

the western man is not malicious
though some may call him dark and vicious
thinks himself as quite judicious
shake your head and smile

both are true I am assumin
aid is up, war is boomin
I think we need the western woman
to take the wheel awhile.

(chorus):
deserate pride, genocide …..
