Feed the Fire

All you have… in this great, big world,
is what the good lord gave you,
don't you know?
All of the things that you acquire along the way. well, you can’t take em with you when you go.
You can love your things…
but things are just things
they come and go.
Marchin’ time… marches on
and it’s all gone before you know.
But still you grab for all you can handle
Material wants and desires
And you light both ends of the candle…
it’s just further fuel… to feed the fire
Our so-called leaders keep on telling us, they say everything is cool, it'll all be fine
the economy's not ailin'
and the banks are really failing
And we'll just print some more money just in time.
The fools up on wall street
keep selling us
they say "I can make you lots of money and mighty fast"
and all you got to do to play
is just do what I say and then
send me all of your cash.
So you grab for all you can handle
Material wants and desires
And you light both ends of the candle…
it’s just further fuel… to feed the fire
Honesty and understanding,
Is much too simple a truth
And it can be much too demanding,
As we gamble with our youth
gotta have a bigger yard
and get a better car,
just to keep up with them Jones'
the deeper in debt we are,
the stronger they will be
and they'll laugh looking
down their crooked noses.

Cigarettes, cannabis, whiskey, some ice cold beer.
Meth amphetamine, crack cocaine, a pill to ease my fear.
Sex & drugs & rock n' roll....anything that'll help to soothe this jones...I only need a tiny bit more.
I just can't believe, how much shit a brother needs...
Keepin' up with the Joneses
Keepin' up with the Joneses
Seems like everything I like, is bad for me.
We're havin' fun. And then it's gone.
It's not enough for me!
So I do everything I can, to get that monkey back up on my back again...I'm such a bad, bad man.
I just can't believe...how much shit a brother needs...
Keepin' up with the Joneses
Keepin' up with the Joneses
Adrenalin's pumpin'. I'm gamblin', & I'm all in.
One more race, a win, show, or place & I'm on top again...
Feel that burnin' in my bones
Can't feel my face but I sure can feel that jones
I just can't believe...how much shit a brother needs...
Keepin' up with the Joneses
Keepin' up with the Joneses
I just can't believe...how much shit a brother needs.

Beautiful Thing
04:02
|
|||
|
Live your life minute by minute, day by day
You work your job to get your pay
Swallow your pride & keep it all inside
'You're gonna move from there someday
Take a little time to make a little rhyme
Sing the song you always wanted to sing
There are many types of views,
different colors, different hues
You find your harmony,
you'll know what I mean.
It's a beautiful thing...it's a beautiful thing
It's a beautiful thing...it's a beautiful thing
Once you're doing it, it can feel rather moving
You might think you've hit your stride
If everywhere you turn, oh you can feel the burn
Just know you'll be alright
If you keep your head down
And feet on the ground
Keep pluckin' away at those strings
Next thing, you know your name will...
Be a local word, yeah, and they'll all want to hear you sing
It's a beautiful thing...it's a beautiful thing
It's a beautiful thing...it's a beautiful thing
When you start to look around & open up your eyes
Then you will finally start to see
You notice all the things that brighten up your life
Just know that you are the beautiful thing
If you can unlock it, you can stick it in your pocket
And everybody will watch ya while cruising like a rocket.
They'll stop to watch you while you do your thing
If you find the secret they're bound to wanna see ya
All the pissy people leave ya, the rest'll wanna be ya
They'll say "hey, look at that, it's a beautiful thing"
It's a beautiful thing...it's a beautiful thing
It's a beautiful thing...it's a beautiful thing

Haunted
03:41
|
|||
|
I still catch myself dreamin' about you
and I still wake up cryin' in the middle of the night
Oh I know, that its been years, that I've lived without you
but, I still see your face... every night... when I turn the light
<chorus>
'cause you're still there in the darkness haunting my memory.
Every night I see pictures of the way things used to be.
Oh, I've tried to forget you...and all we had back then.
But, I'm still haunted by the memories...
of what should have been.
Sometimes I see ladies, that I'd like to know better
Maybe someday I'll find someone... to get you out of my mind.
But, until I do... just to see me through... I'll keep dreaming...
of a day, when I was yours and you were mine.
<refrain>
Every night when I'm alone in my bed...
I see visions of you.
But, you're lying with someone else instead..
and there's nothing I can do...
(cause you're still there....<repeat chorus>

My Money
03:17
|
|||
|
They take my money...before it's even mine
Give it to some bureaucrat sittin' on his fat behind
Spend a hundred dollars...on a two-dollar tool
What the hell is wrong with that old bureaucratic fool?
Big bureaucracy...not what it was meant to be
I thought democracy means...he works for me
Well if that were really true...I tell you now what I would do
Have a big party & raise a glass
And tell 'em all they can just kiss my ass
My money....what are they doin'?
My money....what are they doin'?
BUYS....a 500 dollar toilet seat
Supersonic planes, so sweet
Puppet regimes & caviar
And smart bombs smarter than we think they are
My money....what are they doin'?
My money....what are they doin'?
They're sendin' my money...to places I can't pronounce
Then they let the drug lords sell it back to us by the ounce
Wouldn't it be smarter to feed the hungry and the poor?
Right here in this country first...how much more can we endure?
Big bureaucracy...not what it was meant to be
I thought democracy means...he works for me
Well if that were really true...I tell you now what I would do
Have a big party & raise a glass
And tell 'em all they can just kiss my ass
Payin' farmers NOT to farm
And maniacs NOT to disarm
My money's safer in a pickle jar
And nobody's asked me shit, so far
My money...what are they doin'?
With my money....what are they doin'?

Your Eyes
04:27

You've been lying to me again.
Or so your eyes say.
They have always betrayed you.
And again, they've given you away.
But, Still you try and try to sell your alibi.
I wish there was a story that I could buy.
But, everything you say to me,
I can see right through
every word you say,
and I know which ones are true.
cause all I have to do
is look into your eyes.
Like a bad bedtime story
I can see your lies.
I wish there was a way to compromise.
But, your eyes, your eyes
Don't lie.
Your eyes don't lie. Your eyes don't lie...
It's not hard to read between the lines.
Don't you know I know
what's going on?
I wish I couldn't see the telltale signs.
But your eyes have never been wrong.
cause all I have to do
is look into your eyes.
Like a bad bedtime story
I can see your lies.
I wish there was a way to compromise.
But, your eyes, your eyes
Don't lie.
Your eyes don't lie. Your eyes don't lie...

You worked hard… all along
For years you gave us everything and taught us right from wrong
You gave us a strong hand… but only when we needed one
And then a soft place to land… when it was done
You should be proud… of what you’ve done and where you’ve been
You’ve been my hero… since I can’t remember when
You’re at the top of my list of extraordinary men…
I know I’m gonna miss you now and then.
But now you tell me not to worry, everything will be just fine…
You said “We all will have our time to go... and this just happens to be mine…”
But, I’ll see you on the other side…
this is just so long… this is not goodbye.
And when its my… my time to fly…
I’ll walk up tall to those pearly gates, knowing I lived a good life
Someday when you’re ready…
someday when it’s your time
You can bet that I’ll be standing there waiting for you… on the other side.
I remember how you taught me how to stand up tall and be a man
And you always said “turn the other cheek, Son if you can”
But if you have to fight, fight with honor and for those who need a hand
Cause, the man upstairs will always understand…
But now the time is short and the days are few…And I know I wouldn’t be half the man I am… without you.
But, I’ll see you on the other side…
this is just so long… this is not goodbye.
And when its my… my time to fly…
I know I’ll see you standing there, telling me everything’s alright
And though you couldn’t stay…
now I know I’ll be OK
Cause I know now that someday… I will see you… on the other side.

Until My Dyin' Day

I see people on the street.
Stop and stare as you walk by.
And the people that you meet.
Are captivated with your smile.
Its just the way you walk.
and the way you turn a phrase.
that makes me wanna love you.
Till my dyin' day.
Until my Dyin Day
There could be no way.
That I could ever wanna hurt
That I could ever go away...
Until my Dyin Day
I will always stay.
Cause Darlin' I will always love you.
Until my Dyin Day.
You stole away my heart
On the day that we first meet
And I knew from the start
that I would have you yet.
You were the answer to a prayer
and a dream of dreams come true
and until I breath no more
I will always love you.
Until my Dyin Day
There could be no way
That I could ever wanna hurt you
That I could ever go away...
Until my Dyin Day
I will always stay
Cause Honey I will always love you.
Until my Dyin day.
Yea, Darlin' I will always love you....
Until my Dyin Day.

Monsters in the Closet
04:47
|

|
She was always there when I needed her…With a smile to light my day, she made the bad things go away.
When there were monsters in my closet, and every time I skinned my knee.
I’d turn around… and again, she was there to comfort me.
And she would take my hand and tell me story. Said I didn’t have to worry…
‘cause she was there and everything’s alright.
She said “someday you’ll grow to be a man and I’ll still be there to hold your hand ‘cause you know I’ll always be right by your side.”
She said “you know if you need me, I’ll be there for you…And you know that I love you and there’s nothing I won’t do…
So, if you have bad dreams in the middle of the night…I’m right down the hall and I’ll make everything alright.”
From Junior High to Little League
To every little thing that ever bothered me
She was always there to make it be OK.
And the first girl that ever broke my heart
Just when I thought that it would fall apart
She held me in her arms and it went away
And as I grew she knew someday, That I would have to go away, But she said somehow she’d always stay by my side.
And now in my darkest hour of need, I recall what she said to me That last time that I drove off in the night…
She said “you know if you need me, I’ll be there for you…And you know that I love you and there’s nothing I won’t do…
So, if you have bad dreams in the middle of the night…I’m right down the road and I’ll make everything alright.”
BRIDGE
Now she’s gone but she’s still there
In my heart where she taught me to care
And now I care for children of my own…
And when there’s monsters in their closets
And every time they skin their knees…
I recall what my mama did for me…
And so I take their hand and tell them a story and say that they don’t have to worry ‘cause I’m right there and everything’s alright.
And I tell them what their grandma said to me ‘cause truer words there could never be when she said sonehow she’d always be by my side.
And I tell them…
“you know if you need me, I’ll be there for you…And you know that I love you and there’s nothing I won’t do… So, if you have bad dreams in the middle of the night…I’m right down the hall and I’ll make everything alright.
… Yea, your grandma and me…
will make everything alright.”
