Back to School Blues

Posted on September 15, 2024 by admin

[Intro]
I ain’t no fool
(No, ain’t no fool)
But, this back to school
(Reigns cruel)

[Verse 1]
The Autumn…
And, I am
Falling down
From the news

[Chorus]
Got the ‘back to school’ blues
(Whoa, oh, oh)
No, don’t get to choose
(Woah woe whoa)

[Bridge]
So, I’ve got to cruise
(Be on my way)
Win or lose
(Can not stay)
Say, “Hey!”
(Hey, hey, hey)

[Verse 2]
After all
In the fall
We all
Are under the ‘gotta go back’
(Attack!)

[Chorus]
Got the ‘back to school’ blues
(Whoa, oh, oh)
No, don’t get to choose
(Woah woe whoa)

[Bridge]
So, I’ve got to cruise
(Be on my way)
Win or lose
(Can not stay)
Say, “Hey!”
(Hey, hey, hey)

[Chorus]
Got the ‘back to school’ blues
(Whoa, oh, oh)
No, don’t get to choose
(Woah woe whoa)

[Bridge]
No woah
(Won’t let the anxiety get the best of me)
No, no, no, no
(Can’t stop me from being free)
Off to the show
(Hear I go)

[Outro]
Those ‘back to school’ blues
Gettin’ put on snooze

That Boy Ain’t Right

Posted on August 24, 2024 by admin

[Intro]
That boy ain’t right
He just ain’t right
(Loafers’ are light)
No insight in sight

[Verse 1]
Heart of black
From front to back
The soul has gone
Beast gnaws bone

[Bridge]
The lights are on
But nobody’s home
All souls have gone
He sits alone

[Chorus]
That boy ain’t right
He just ain’t right
(Loafers’ are light)
No insight in sight

[Verse 2]
Navigator of an instigator
Take stock, dumb as a rock
See ya later alligator
Your ship left the dock

[Bridge]
The lights are on
But nobody’s home
All souls have gone
He sits along

[Chorus]
That boy ain’t right
He just ain’t right
(Loafers’ are light)
No insight in sight

[Bridge]
The lights are on
But nobody’s home
All souls have gone
He sits a long alone

[Outro]
That boy ain’t right
(Loafers’ are light)
No, just ain’t right

[Intro]
Oh, no (oh no, no, no)
No woe (just say no to woe)

Tryin’…
To get under my skin

In your yesterday
I’d rather play
Today

Quit your pokin’
Provocative stokin’

Paid her chicken feed
Now you fail to concede
(No hearts bleed)
And, you’re not getting under my skin
(No, never again)

[Bridge]
Though my patience is wearing thin
(No, oh, no, no)

Not getting under my skin
(Again)
Like a tick, or a prick

Fade away
In your yesterday
I’d rather play
Today

[Intro]
Could you imagine that…
Just like that, he’s at it again
The belfry’s bat
The toy’s attic
… begin:

[Verse 1]
Keeps coming back
In a whack attack
Back-to-back
Whack attack

One brick shy of a load
(Self-implode)
Gaining hate at a rapid rate

Coming loose
(As a quacked up goose)

Could you imagine that…
Just like that, he’s at it again
The belfry’s bat
The toy’s attic

Creeping, crawling
To all appalling
Like a bad habit
That just won’t quit

One brick shy of a load
(Self-implode)
Gaining hate at a rapid rate
(Irate)
Coming loose
(As a quacked up goose)

The belfry’s bat
The toy’s attic
(No, not again…)
(and, again… and, a….)

[Intro]
What’s to come?
Well,
Where I come from
It’s getting hard to tell

Why can’t you tell me
(Tell me, tell me)
What will come to be

What will come to be (look see)
It’s closer than you know
It’s reality (Woe)

Just look to see
It’s raining
You and me
Really, go see
It’s reigning
You and me

How come the forecast
Is never right?

Our new insight
Intelligence didn’t last
(Is now “our” song)

What will come to be (look see)
It’s closer than you know
It’s reality (Woe)

Black Eye (And a Fat Lip)

[Intro]
Black eye and fat lip
Don’t know when to quit
(no, no know)
Can’t quite get it
(no, no know)

[Break]
Black eye and fat lip
(no, no know)
Going on and on
(about that chip)

(no, no know)

[Verse 1]
You wanna court the court
Me, it’s my last resort
Don’t care to spend my time
Wrapped up in your crime

[Bridge]
Crimes of the heart
Crimes out of you mind
Rather not even start
And, spend mine on being kind

[Chorus]
Rather talk about love
(And, to rise above)
Rather talk about love
(Then to push n’ shove)
Rather gather round love

[Break]
Black eye and fat lip
(no, no know)
Going on and on
(about that chip)

[Verse 2]
Why participate in hate
Hurt, blurt n’ berate
Don’t care to spend my life
Wrapped up in your strife

Crimes of the heart (don’t even start)
Crimes out of you mind (wasting my time)
Rather not even start (no, won’t take part)
I’ll spend mine on being kind (with all I find)

Rather talk about love
(And, to rise above)
Rather talk about love
(Then to push n’ shove)
Rather gather round love

Disdain

Posted on August 13, 2024 by admin

[Intro]
I don’t hate you
(This is true)
If I must explain
It’s more disdain

[Verse 1]
I don’t hate you
(This is true)
If I must explain
As long as you remain the same
People hold you in disdain

Somewhere along the line
You must have gone insane
What was fine is now a crime
So you remain in disdain

[Bridge]
Where to begin?
Take a look within
And see where you’ve been

[Verse 2]
I don’t hate you
Repeat the refrain
As long as you remain the same
People hold you in disdain

[Chorus]
Somewhere along the line
You must have gone insane
What was fine is now a crime
So you remain in disdain

[Bridge]
Where to begin?
Take a look within
And see where you’ve been

[Chorus]
Somewhere along the line
You must have gone insane
What was fine is now a crime
So you remain in disdain

[Outro]
Where to begin?
Take a look within
And see where you’ve been
