Circus
Act
Please look at me now
Look at all the things I
do
I won't pay attention to
you
I hope I can gather a crowd
Everyone should know I'm
at my happiest
With a lampshade on top
of my big head
My circus isn't dead
My nose is turning red
I want you to notice me right
now
Please look at me when I
show you how
When I try to look out to
the crowd
I'm blinded by my arrogance
There's no one out there
to arouse
I try to see you but what
can I do
With the stars in my eyes
I'm going nowhere, I'll
make it I swear
Even if I have to lie
Anything to make everyone
love me
back
Cool
Aide
It's starting to get hot
outside
I think my feet are gonna
fry
I have to go
But I sit down in the weeds
It takes a lot to get me
in
I need to stop for my cool
aide now
I want my friends to leave
anyhow, mix a batch
Just a little bit more will
get me through the day
The daylight's going away
All my friends drink from
a can
They don't know the cool
aide man
I have to go
But I'll sit down in the
weeds
It takes a lot to get me
in
I need to stop for my cool
aide now
I want my friends to leave
anyhow, mix a batch
Just a little bit more will
get me through the day
The daylight's going away
Cherry-flavored, berry-flavored,
tropical punch
Over ice
I want my cherry-flavored,
tropical punch
Over ice
It's got no pulp it's got
no seeds
My mom likes the added C
I need to stop for my cool
aide now
I want my friends to leave
anyhow
I need to stop for my cool
aide now
I want my friends to leave
anyhow, mix a batch
Just a little bit more will
get me through the day
The daylight's going away

Happy
To Be Sad
I'm happy to be sad
I'm sad because I'm happy
And I'll throw my cares
away
I love to see the clouds
ruin a sunny day
I'm happy to be sad
I'm sad because I'm happy
And I'll throw my cares
away
I love to see the clouds
ruin a sunny day
I'm happy to be sad
I'm sad because I'm happy
And I'll throw my cares
away
I love to see the clouds
ruin a sunny day

John
Wilkes Isolation Booth
Every time I look inside
myself
I'm my only friend
I try to put my feelings
on a shelf
So that the pain will end
There's a crowd around me
and
I don't feel that I'm safe
I wish that I could disappear
and
Leave without a trace
I try to hide behind a blanket
of seclusion
I think that I could do
without your intrusion
Sometimes I wish that everyone
would go away
I can't think of anything
else I can say
I can't figure out why I
can't look you in your eyes
Maybe I don't want you to
see right through all my lies
I lock up all my doors and
hide in quarantine
I think that I am at my
best when I'm not seen
I try to hide behind a blanket
of seclusion
I think that I could do
without your intrusion
Sometimes I wish that everyone
would go away
I can't think of anything
else I can say
I can't figure out why I
can't look you in your eyes
Maybe I don't want you to
see right through all my lies
I lock up all my doors and
hide in quarantine
I think that I am at my
best when I'm not seen
I try to hide behind a blanket
of seclusion
I think that I could do
without your intrusion
Sometimes I wish that everyone
would go away
I can't think of anything
else I can say
cha-cha-cha!

Tractor
I sit in the boring hot sun
Riding on top of my big
John Deere
With all of the noise from
the engine
It's no wonder that I can't
hear
There is one thing that I
know is true
There isn't anything else
I can do
I don't wanna drive
The sun beats down on my
head
It's starting to make all
my skin bake
With all of this bouncing
around
It's no wonder that my bones
ache
There is one thing that I
know is true
There isn't anything else
I can do
I don't wanna drive
I don't wanna chew tobacco
I don't wanna wear your
boots
I don't wanna drive your
tractor
No!
I look to see the sun go
down
A smile stretches across
my red face
I'm so happy the day is
over
Now I can wake up from my
daze
There is one thing that
I know is true
There isn't anything else
I can do
I don't wanna drive
I don't wanna drive

Green
Apples
I really don't like the taste
Of all those green apples
They don't seem to go away
I am tired of seeing
All of those green apples
I run into everyday
They are the cause of my
troubles and pain
They are the reason for
the wind and rain
I wish they all were dead
Why can't I just paint them
red
I really don't like the taste
Of all those green apples
They don't seem to go away
I am tired of seeing
All of those green apples
I run into everyday
They are the cause of my
troubles and pain
They are the reason for
the wind and rain
I wish they all were dead
Why can't I just paint them
red

Closed
Captioned
I'm tired of hearing
In fact I seem to drown
everything out
The sounds are disappearing
today
I can't speak
I can't hear
I can't make it crystal
clear
I want to know what everyone
has to say
Communication gets harder
everyday
I want to know what everyone
thinks of me
But it's so hard when they
speak so softly
Nothing seems to sink in
Everything comes right out
the same
No one knows what I'm thinking
today
I can't speak
I can't hear
I can't make it crystal
clear
I want to know what everyone
has to say
Communication gets harder
everyday
I want to know what everyone
thinks of me
But it's so hard when they
speak so softly
If you try to talk I won't
understand
Nothing seems to make sense
to me
If I try to speak you won't
understand
I can't explain things that
I've seen
But if you try to see inside
I won't mind
Everything's so peaceful
I don't want it any other
way
No one knows why I'm cheerful
today
I can't speak
I can't hear
I can't make it crystal
clear
I want to know what everyone
has to say
Communication gets harder
everyday
I want to know what everyone
thinks of me
But it's so hard when they
speak so softly

Trailer
Park
I can't expect to leave a
life i've always lived
A father who likes drinking
And a mother who doesn't
care
When everyone makes fun
of how poor my family is
They laugh at my misfortune
And at the clothes that
I wear
I can't ever leave my trailer
park
It's not safe to go out
after dark
I can't expect to leave a
life I've always lived
A father who likes drinking
And a mother who doesn't
care
When everyone makes fun
of how poor my family is
They laugh at my misfortune
And at the clothes that
I wear
I can't ever leave my trailer
park
It's not safe to go out

Fresh
Air
It's hard for me to read
your mind
I'm too afraid of what I'll
find
All my certainty starts to
sail away
The only thing that I know
is that I don't really care
All I want is some fresh
air
I'm tired of the games I
play
I think that it's April
fool's day
All my sanity starts to sail
away
The only thing that I know
is that I don't really care
All I want is some fresh
air
It works everytime
All my certainty starts to
sail away
The only thing that I know
is that I don't really care
All I want is some fresh
air

P.C.
Some say it's wrong
But I don't know when
I'm unaware of things I
said then
Never watch my mouth
I wish I knew the things
that I'm not supposed to say
Because it changes everyday
Don't wanna talk
I can't get my foot out
Look where you step
The little things count
back
G-Vibe
I look out my window up into
the sky
And I wonder where it all
comes from
It seems so harmless to
me
But I can't help wondering
How it affects someone
I won't mind if it goes away
It will come another day
It's no fun without the
sun
I wonder why
I see the disasters on my
television
And sympathize for all the
pain
I never thought so many
lives could be ruined
Just because there is too
much rain

Warren's
Song Pt. 4
Warren says don't spread
lies
The children outside think
that they know the truth
It's not right
He don't have alibis
The stories they've told
Have stripped him from his
youth
He asks why
No one cares how I feel
anymore
I'm wondering what I'm living
for
Warren says he doesn't care
But when the sun hits his
face you can see the sadness in his eyes
No one said life is fair
When all the rumors circulate
of incest, it's all lies
And when he breaks down and
starts to cry
They all laugh at him
He wants to crawl away and
die
There's nowhere to go
He wants to kill someone
But he knows it's not right
His life is so pathetic
He's not to blame
They all spit on him and
try to get him to fight
He tries to call out for
help
But no one came
Help me
Warren says he doesn't care
But when the sun hits his
face you can see the sadness in his eyes
No one said life is fair
When all the rumors circulate
of incest
It's all lies

Hot Dogs For 99 Cents
I don't see why I should
have to pay more
When I walk in to a convenience
store
I don't care how bad they
taste
I won't let them go to waste
Two hot dogs for 99 cents
I'm always looking for the
better deal
The camera's watching to
see what I steal
I don't care how bad they
taste
I won't let them go to waste
Two hot dogs for 99 cents
I look up at the sign
It says two for 99
I see there's only one left
I need to talk to the chef
I use condiments because
they are free
They seem to be all set
up just for me
I don't care how bad they
taste
I won't let them go to waste
Two hot dogs for 99 cents

Metal
Hang out backstage to be
seen
30 years old and a teen
Everyone wants to talk to
me, they all give the look
I can get any chick I want
'cause I really cook
I make the scene, I'm where
it's at
It doesn't matter 'cause
I'm fat

Pessimist
There is always some black
cloud
Hanging over my head
Always feeling like I should
not
Get out of my bed
Doubtful thoughts fill my
head up
Decisions I have made
Wondering if I should choose
To go the other way
I set myself up for the worst
So I don't have to be let
down
Don't call me cynical
Because that is the way
I always sound
Anyday
Go away
back
Lazy
I wish I could go off far
away
Where time moves too slow
Day after day
I'll wait
And I'll sit and watch the
clouds as they pass by
I'll wait
And I'll sit and watch the
clouds as they walk by
I have a fixation with laziness
Procrastination is what
I do best
I'll wait
And I'll sit and watch the
clouds as they go by
I'll wait
And I'll sit and watch the
clouds as they walk by
Where has my ambition gone
I haven't seen it for so
long
Am I a burden to someone
Life I am so tired of everything
All my desire is vanishing
I'll wait
And I'll sit and watch the
clouds as they go by
I'll wait
And I'll sit and watch the
clouds as they walk byI'll wait
And I'll sit and watch the
clouds as they pass by
I'll wait
And I'll sit and watch the
clouds as they walk by
