LYRICS
It’s not your average savage
This savage will ravage
These savages are beyond real
What’s the deal
It’s not your average savage

This savage is carrying some baggage
And I dunno… whoa
I think his luggage should be stowed
Let’s see
Got bats in the belfry
Toys in the attic
Too much static
Save me
Bats in the belfry
Toys in the attic
Static

LYRICS
The closer I get to the ledge
The closer I get to falling… over the edge

Watch that first step it’s a doozy
Just looking over makes me woozy
Close to the edge
To which allegiance do you pledge
As for me
I’m a firm believer in gravity

The closer we get to the ledge
Precariously perched on the edge
To which allegiance do you pledge

LYRICS
Just sitting here minding my business
Grabbed by paranoid paralysis
Officer give me the remedy
To society’s tragedy

Now you’ve crossed into my zone
Why don’t you just leave me alone

One of the things I most dread
Is growing eyes on the back of my head
Why not take a real deep breath
Before you’re the cause of your own death

Now you’ve crossed into my zone
Why don’t you just leave me alone

LYRICS
The story of “Sam I Am”

I wasn’t even jamming
Noooo
I was just…
Sitting there
Discussing in a rational fashion
The events of the day
There were some big events that day
Come to be known as the tRump Roast
The arrogant boast the most

We weren’t making a sound
That could be heard
Anywhere around
When from out of nowhere
Ohhhhh no no
The Po-po
The Po-po said you gotta go
Go!
I said, “I dunno”

We were just sitting there
Exercising our civil rights
To discuss the events of the day in a neighborhood way
Nooo… we couldn’t just go
No, no, no
No go

Do you know what kind of model you are
How can you expect junior goes far

As baby sees, baby does
Watch the future turn to was
As baby sees, baby does
Because….

Do you know what kind of leader you are
Teaching that love is something bizarre

Do you know what kind of friend you are
When you apply the feathers and the tar

LYRICS
Awoke from a slumber
A little bit dumber
A nightmarish dream
Where I turn obscene

How am I suppose to get any sleep
With this racket going on
Turns me into a creep
When this racket’s going on
How am I suppose to get any peace
With this racket going on
Gonna force you to cease
This racket that’s going on

2. Called the fuzz
To create a buzz
No reason… just ’cause
That’s what dumb does

LYRICS
Wouldn’t ya say we resemble
How to peacefully assemble
Writing songs about freedom
Redress of grievances from the free dumb

Chorus
I had to tell the Po-po No! No!
Ya know, he didn’t know
Gay Church… Church and Gay
Bring your guitar and learn how to play

Perhaps you should dot your i’s and maybe cross your t’s
Before you confront me
Please don’t tread on me

Just because you’re walled-in
Doesn’t mean we gotta stop talkin’
While your face is turning green
The writing on the wall will be seen

Gay Church (An American Band).mp4

LYRICS
Pink shoes
And bad tattoos
I suppose you’ve nothing to lose

Might as well pierce your tongue
If your battle can’t be won
Put another hole in your head
Then, put yourself to bed

Maybe a nose ring
Is just the thing
Or to probe
How to stretch my earlobe

I hate to say goodbye
But if you can’t answer why…?

LYRICS
Tag! Now, you’re it
You’re it and you can’t quit

From the early, early, dawn
’til you start to yawn
From the early, early mornin’
The first crack of light
To the darkest depths
In the middle of the night

Stay and play away
This ain’t got nothing to do with money
You can’t come up until you do something funny

Knock, knock
Who’s there?
Heaven’s door
Heaven’s door, who?
Heaven’s door
Should have come up with more for sure
Who knew?

LYRICS
There is a man on parade
Living life in a charade
Don’t even claim who you are
When your compassion’s so far

I’ve learned my lesson well
Ya gotta escape hell
I guess it’s just as well
Live and the story tell

There is a child… an innocent
You wanna subject to an incident
It surely ain’t coincidence
You displayin’ dominance

Chorus

Where is a God with some mercy
Save us from our conspiracy
Our charade parade arrogance
Into the light out of ignorance

LYRICS
This place is crazy
All the minds have gotten lazy

This place is crazy
I was hoping it was just a phase
Now, I’ve got to say I am amazed
Amazed in a maze
Not just for a minute
Not just for a moment
For days and days and days and days

This place is crazy
All the minds gone lazy
What do you mean
“Think for myself”
What do you mean
You’re so mean
You want me to think for myself
If I think for myself
How could I claim you’ve got all the wealth
If I think for myself
Self-wealth
This place is crazy

You guys are ca, ca, ca, crazy
This place is crazy
All the minds have gone lazy
This place is crazy

If you expect me to think for myself
How can I claim you have all the wealth
You can’t have all the wealth
If I’m thinking for myself
Then I can see what I can be
And I can be me
Certainly
I gotta be me
I can’t help but be me
This place
As far as that goes
I thought everyone knows
This place is crazy

I’ve got to go find some fresh air
’cause I can’t find anyone around here that’s aware
So, I’m gonna step out there
And get some fresh air
See if there’s any sanity out there
This place is crazy
Hazy

LYRICS
My Mama always said
Look both ways before crossing the road
Going through a phase where your head will explode

No need to run it over again
That roadkill is dead
That roadkill is dead
It’s such a sin
The indifference bred
The indifference bred

The bigger they are
The harder they fall
The taller they are
The further they fall

Fat cats in high places
Look away
Have nothing to say
Both sides of their mouths
On their two faces

Chorus
