Mythical Creature 04:30
lyrics
Well I was driving my van out on Highway O The first time I saw the mythical creature Tall as a tree in shirt too small Anybody could see he wasn't human at all We was just 3 miles from the county line He had 10 big toes and a box of wine No one ever really sees the mythical creature No one ever really hears his sweet sweet song No one remembers meeting the mythical creature No one ever remembers his sweet sweet love I pulled to the side and offered him a ride You should never pass up mythical creature He put away his thumb and got inside I'd be liar if I said it didn't gimme a fright Fur like midnight and eyes like coals Had a stare that reached into my very soul No one ever really sees the mythical creature No one ever really hears his sweet sweet song No one remembers meeting the mythical creature No one ever remembers his sweet sweet All along the road I been looking for his tracks Wishing to go back to the mythical creature To that starry night out on Highway O With the country station on the radio Oh I fell in love with him on that night That's to say I fell in love at the very first sight

Shutdown 02:31
lyrics
Just when I thought That I couldn't care enough I don't Bleeding from this empathy Move along, nothing to see Chorus: 321 all systems go Captain on the bridge I am taking control Gauges in the red now the critical part Throw the switch, I'm shutting down my heart I have a plan How much caring can one heart stand All alone, all lines are dead Breaking down, it's all in my head Chorus. I'm sharing and caring and practicing my art I'm welling and swelling and coming all apart I'm loving and shoving and stopping with a start Oh my god this is too much, I'm shutting down my heart In the mirror You can see you're all sucked dry This hollow-eyed shell is your best friend I'll be dancing with my shadow till the very end Chorus.

Take It Outside 02:52
lyrics
City on fire Bodies in the streets Chaos envelopes Lady Liberty weeps When that voice just cant be heard Above the noise of the powerful When the walls are closing in You gotta take it outside These are the rules You get your piece now play The game involves your very life we've stacked deck in every way When that face just can't be seen Behind the ranks of powerful When the doors are closed to you You gotta take it outside Cities burn and glass gets broke Then comes the water and the broom What can we do to mend the rift That's festered open like a wound Going back is not an option One's comfort is another's terror That normalcy that spawns oppression The dark side of a gilded mirror That's when you take it outside That's when you take it outside the lines they'v drawn That's when you take it outside Until all the walls are gone

I'm Very Busy 02:36
lyrics
Fascists on the evening news And getting catshit on my shoes And car is leaking oil pan Don't have the cash to pay the man And sweeping vacuum knees and scrub I need a shower rub-a-dub And grass is growing to my knees And work is calling counting beans I'm so busy I'm very busy Follow plague on every page The social fighting all the rage I cannot get my forty winks My boss is calling, such a dink Go get a bucket roof it leaks The plumbing's busted toilet reeks My car is starting on its own My bank is calling late on loan I'm so busy I'm very busy Breathe in Breathe out Namaste Find a comforatable position Feel the air moving into my mouth as I breathe Feel it filling up my stomach Relax, let my shoulders drop Wait, what time is it??? Washer washer on the fritz Bad burrito got the shits DMV I'm stuck all day The neighbor kid won't go away Now work is calling run reports We need the numbers for our charts My laptop breathing smoke and steam Can't you take one for the team I'm so busy I'm very busy

This Is Fine 03:13
lyrics
I went to sleep and never returned Waking nightmare took the land by storm He wasn't handsome, talented, or slick He looked like a clown and talked like a dick Now nobody alive can reverse the spell Escalator to nowhere in a half-baked hell This is fine, he ain't a politician This is fine, he's a decent Christian Business man in a suit that doesn't even fit King Baby in a game of diminishing wit He'd save his soul with world war III If it makes a buck especially Now nobody alive can reverse the cray-cray What the hell would Teddy Roosevelt say? This is fine, he once owned a casino This is fine, he had his own TV show Business man in a suit that doesn't even fit King Baby in a game of diminishing wit You're a babbling, blabbering contradiction None of the truth, not even decent fiction You're a supersized fraud, better than the real thing Twice the carbohydrates but only half as filling America's falling but the world keeps turning We're sipping our tea like the room ain't burning America's falling but the world keeps turning We're sipping our tea like the room ain't burning This is fine, for the ugly American This is fine, if you're a holy Republican This is fine, if you're making your money This is fine, if you can step over the bodies

Golf Punk Rides Again 03:02
lyrics
Daddy's money has run out I had to sell the car Not welcome at the country club Though I golf under par Can't afford to pay my caddy I golf all alone My only fairway is the muni The muni, the muni How the mighty fall But golf punk rides again my friend I have a BMX Golf punk rides again my mates I'm gonna give 'em heck I'll take my tips from Friday night I'm gonna rent a cart And fill it with my rowdy friends Smash the system one hole at a time Patches on my Castore shirt Goodwill cleats and bag Pull me up by my own bootstraps What my daddy said Now daddy's money has run out The Cadillac is sold No hitting on the cart girl At the muni's BYOB How the mighty fall But golf punk rides again my friend I have a BMX Golf punk rides again my mates I'm gonna give 'em heck I'll take my tips from Friday night I'm gonna rent a cart And fill it with my rowdy friends Smash the system one hole at a time Don't have no boss I golf for me Nobody tells me what to do on the links It's total freedom from oppression I have the sky above me Manicured green below Just me and the ball in a collision of wills I know you'll never understand But golf punk rides again my friend I have a BMX Golf punk rides again my mates I'm gonna give 'em heck I'll take my tips from Friday night I'm gonna rent a cart And fill it with my rowdy friends Smash the system one hole at a time
