Al Sharpton 02:57
the world is flying upside down society keeps my stomach in the tumble dry the economy fake as it is leaves my pants around my ankles this is the way of the world this is my day to day al sharpton can sing praise jesus but i say praise your days away it's hellfire and rhinestones on the outside today i can see through the swampy haze and your scent has yet to fade away this is the soul of a girl and that is my way to say that jesse jackson will sing praise jesus and i say praise your days away

i go falling out and farther into space and farther away from wherever i donate i haven't been seeing straight i've been falling out as of late sugar water is flooding out my brain it's throwing off my equilibrium i seem to have lost all shame i've been scrubbing hard to remove the stains who turned the picture around who put the picture face down why is this happening to me man how did this all come to be it's saturday in the middle of the week and the senior citizens have hit the streets it's yesterday in the middle of next week and i'm trying to shake this losing streak

get in line that's what they're telling me i can't find the time to find the end of the line where it begins i'm not surprised it's eating itself again take tomorrow cast it to the side later today could be the end of the ride remain seated this is not the time for an accident we'll find a way to a better place don't sweat it today this is not a race take tomorrow cast it to the side later today could be the end of the ride remain seated this is not the time for an accident

Asshat 03:01
said don't push it too far it's not your ass but your mouth that's the dirtiest part but don't get discouraged your mind is where it starts there's no escaping your own voice accepting your choices regretting the day you were torn between the true and the fabled you'll never be able to give up your hunger for lent you rinse before brushing but it really does nothing for the shit that flows out of both ends

Hot Spot 02:39
it used to be a hot spot this place with a parking lot the size of outer space but it's vacant and abandoned with grass in the cracks in the pavement this would make a great cornfield or any kind of field at all it used to be a mountain town now it's a shopping mall a big business will come along and tear all this out and then they will re-pave it and they will pave it all again this would make a great cornfield or any kind of field at all it used to be a mountain town now it's a wal-mart about to fall down they used to worship wicker and now they've got bumper stickers that say pave it all that say pave it all again it used to be a hot spot this place with enough black top to pave outer space
7.
when was the last time we had a day like this this time of year at ease in my mind i know there's nothing more to fear there's nothing wrong the radio was talking all day telling me things i didn't know i had to stop and think so many things left to let go of there's nothing wrong with me or you we've got a lot of work to do but there's nothing wrong with natural grace at a natural pace
8.
Render Me 02:48
a pie pan in the face of me is what i need to desaturate to pixelize and posterize render me unrecognizable i do need to out do the big picture i'm the painter what's left is the blur effect no one to blame but myself today the file size exceeds storage space i need to i want to it's untrue don't you want to out do why can't it be in a pamphlet motivation 1 - 2 - 3 so how about it dr. phil do you have an hour to kill on me paint shop me photo shop me render me unrecognizable

lately i've been seeing ghosts outside of my night window it has been keeping me up nights baby please don't turn off the lights the faces looking in at me woe is me tell a lie sing myself a lullaby tell me it means nothing they just shake their heads at me don't believe a word i say the truth's come back to haunt me and we'll all be hanging out one day it's coming round the mountain i'll fire a warning in the ground it's never safe to sneak up on a bloke that totes a loaded gun whose lies are like a fountain lately i've been blowing smoke it goes right back in my nose it has been keeping me up high tell a lie the faces looking in at me they're all me they're all me

Part Time 02:24
let's start again give life a brand new sheen let's begin again brand new and exciting because life after all is part time sleep work then punch the clock and die move to foreign land a change in attitude if debts are made less then i have followed through because life after all is part time sleep work then punch the clock and die something's coming my way i can feel it
11.
time is the spline that holds them both together it pushes with force in the rut their forever they never question they'll never break down you can see right through but there's no way out lies are the ties that bind them both together he keeps a head full of silly things it is a frame-up the screening process you can see right through but there's no way out
12.
Shelf Life 04:15
so tell me what's your shelf life how long will you hang around before your taste is gone you must be getting warm up there it must be a shock a room with a view for my combination lock the key belongs to you someone has a story about a girl the most persistent in the world i meant what i said and i'll say it again denial means nothing to the most sensitive men as i open a beer i force back a sneer this is a point of interest tell me how it feels your carbonated blood reality comes quick i'm not your only love
13.
Tired 03:24
this is how i spend my day this is how i earn my pay how did i find my way here just make the time move on by (tired of being tired - tired of being dog-tired) i find it hard to try (tired of being tired - tired of being coffee-wired) just make the time roll on by (tired of being tired - tired of being hog-tied) i'm tired of being tired (tired of being tired - tired of being tired) in this corporation i find my separation in my cubicle shoe box cell i just want to spend my day i just want to earn my pay and go home
14.
turn the heat down i'm going broke and it's cold as hell in here anyway and i don't know where the water goes it must be running all day i haven't called in a couple of weeks and i'm sure that makes me wrong somehow about we don't get into that and i promise that i won't get down it's the loud sound of triangle it's not meant to be in the front now like the lead sound of loud cowbell it's not meant to be in the front now
15.
Damn TV 02:35
shots were fired on the TV last night i tried to turn it down but it kept coming around again the cops were lined up on the sidewalk waiting for something to break, but nothing happened the crime scene photos and paperwork did themselves it was a long day and i washed the hours away with the TV i know you were sleeping i know it disturbs you that damn tv, you say every morning i know you were sleeping i know it disturbs you that damn tv, you say every morning

about

This album is the second in a series of two compilations from a huge scale recording project that spanned most of 2005 and 2006. The tracks were remixed and mastered, then arranged in a very listenable and compelling collection of songs.
