she's just workin' for a hit.
she just wished that she could quit
things she's done off her head.
she's just outside lookin' in.
and that's the way
they say it is
and that's the way
they say it ends, it ends
he's just looking for his life
back when the state would drive
and it was safe out of his bed
now everything involved his meds
hepatitis A
hepatitis B
and that's the way
they say it ends, it ends
when little words were spoken
at night on the phone
when everything got broken
before everyone's alone
she's just walking for a drink
something calls beyond the brink
then the tremens break her bones
the weakened family link
and that's the way
they say it is
and that's the way
they say it ends, it ends
and that's the way
they say it is
and that's the way
they say it ends, it ends

I am the king
of everything
that I can get away with.
I will break your thing
and I will make you scream
if I can get my hand in.
I will steal your life
and come on to your wife.
I disappeared your passport.
You can’t tear us apart.
We’ve got more money
than you have heart.
We’re taking names
staking claims
property is theft
staking claims.
I can take your identity
and avail us of your amenitites
and do it with your taxes.
We can shine a light
on what you do at night
and leak it to the papers.
I have read your mail
and I will set your bail
to something you cannot afford.
You can’t tear us apart.
We’ve got more guns
than you have money.
We’re taking names
it may sound funny
liberty is property
making money.
I’m gonna take all the
differences we have.
I’m gonna tear all the
differences in half.
I’m gonna take all the
evidence we have.
I’m gonna tear all your
liberties in half.
I’m a machine
that takes down everything
and everyone that protests.
I will get upstream
and deflate all your dreams
and every law that protects.
I will steal your life
I’ve come home to your wife
and renamed all of your kids.
You can’t tear us apart.
We’ve got more money
than you have heart.
We’re taking names
staking claims
property is theft
staking claims.
I’m gonna take all the
differences we have.
I’m gonna tear all the
differences in half.
I’m gonna take all the
evidence we have.
I’m gonna tear all your
liberties in half.

Estate

born with issue of her body
living by issue of her body
share the property of providence
while she questions privilege
she provides evidence
and claims divided interest
a corner of America
intersects her eastern edge
a corner of the pavement
intersects her card board box
a sideline of America
bathed in only street lights
free from all encumbrances except
easement to a storm drain relative
in testimony where the parties have
washed their hands and set their seals
that they are seized in fee simple
that they are seized in fee simple
freedom beyond dignity
matching funding in the wind
a corner of the pavement
intersects her card board box
a sideline of America
bathed in only street lights
born from tissue like the pavement
now she lives with ancestors
shaded instruments cloud the title
in fee simple, in fee simple
that they are seized in fee simple
that they are seized in fee simple
freedom beyond dignity
matching funding in the wind
a corner of the pavement
intersects her card board box
a sideline of America
bathed in only street lights

Two Eggs Any Style

New version is up now on myspace, mog, multiply, virb, and LastFM.

We're coming back
and keeping on track
we're on the attack
we're better than ever
we're in your face
and 10 feet tall
keeping pace
like the Upsetter

we want two eggs
any style
two eggs
any style

the bar is crowded
band is kicking
front of the line
drinks are picking
make your mind
up this time
in this line
we're all waiting

for two eggs
any style
two eggs
any style
Society
eats its' own
Society
hangs up the phone
two eggs
any style
we’ll have two eggs
any style
two eggs
any style
we’ll have two eggs
any style
Society’s
seats are worn
society
acts forlorn
we make the machine
to do the things
that we find
most distasteful
in our spare time
we act sublime
just as if
we are grateful
for two eggs
any style
two eggs
any style
the spokes of a wheel
click at our heel
and for this
we act special
and we are
but this far
on borrowed time
we are waiting for
two eggs
any style
two eggs
any style
Society’s
teeth are worn
Society is not
informed
two eggs
any style
we’ll have two eggs
any style
two eggs
any style
we’ll have
two eggs
any style
society’s
feet are worn
society
should not conform
