I've got respect from the community 
I've got my bridge game to look forward to 
I've got this chance, a golden opportunity 
As long as I keep doing what I'm supposed to 

You see my wife and kids, they depend on me 
To provide them with nothing but the best 
I feel it's my duty, my obligation 
to live up to the standards society suggusts 

So I'll keep on working for their benefit 
And I'll keep on drinking 
I'll keep on believing in my life 

Another year of slaving and smiling, buying and trading 
Living the life of a wealthy man 
But somehow I don't feel so rich inside 
But that doesn't make sense 
I just had a two week vacation 
As soon as I get this operation 
taken care of, I'll start enjoying 
the good things in life 

So I'll keep on working for the benefits 
And I'll keep on drinking 
I'll keep believing in my life 

When the pity spins your mind, 
Darkness fills your heart, 
And I won't be around 
When you're feeling all alone 
Then you'll know it's time, 
To go into the ground 

When the pity spins your mind, 
Darkness fills your heart, 
And I won't be around 

I've got my family, friends, and associates 
To stand by me as the threshold comes near 
Within their faces I see grave concern 
As I ask myself if their thoughts are sincere 

After all these years of being complacent 
What do I get? Tenderness, affection, a true sense of love? 
No! Just a pain through a body chalk full of regret 

I'll keep on believing my life still has value 
And I'll keep on laughing 
Why can't I stop laughing? I can't stop the laughing.

THE LONGEST LINE 

In the darkest tunnel it's nice to see a light 
Not just a headlight 
Like the one that's heading right for me 
It would be nice if things could turn out right 
Turn out right yeah 
Don't think I'll ever see the day 

I must have done something wrong 
Or maybe pissed off God 

I think of Chinese food when I think of life 
That's sweet and sour 
My life is sweet as saccharine 
You know 3 week old milk and grapes are not 
Not the same, No 
I am the one Johnny Carcinogen 

I must have fucked with some witch 
In turn she cursed me, cursed my life 

At the end of the longest line 
That's where I will always be 
If you need to find me, just go to 
The end of the longest line 

But officer that was a yellow light 
The light was red, son 
Insubordination, reckless driving 
I must be wrong, this can't be right 
I don't belong, this world is much to dangerous 
For someone lacking luck, like me 

At the end of the longest line 
That's where I will always be 
If you need to find me, just go to 
The end of the longest line 

At the end of the longest line 
That's where I will always be 
At the end of the longest line

STRANDED 

She once told me not to listen 
Find the answers, intuition 
Follow no-one, trust your instincts 
Face the world, find out it stinks 

Don't come crying, Don't come crying 
Don't come cry to me 
I'm not your friend, I'm just your lover 
Don't put your faith, Don't put your faith in me 

You cut me up and rob me blind 
But now I'm fine 

She told me about the places I could never find 
She told me how to walk while by her side 
Don't be fooled by teardrops 
They're worth a thousand lies 
When I saw them running down her face 
I believed in her 

Stranded, Ah Ah 
Stranded, Ah Ah 

Hit me in the gut 
like a brick through a window 
Left me in the gutter like a wet news rag 
Sitting alone, thinking out the times we never had 
Cause you were my life 

She told me if and whether 
We'd spend the night together 
She made so many promises 
I believed in her

REMNANTS 

Wasting your life on the sidewalk 
When you can be out on the street, dodging cars 
As they go by, the wind goes right through you 

Life on the edge of a razor 
Never knowing when you're to fall 
Sure as hell beats never gambling at all 

Life's too short to just barely exist 
Wide spread mediocracy 
Will suck you up, resist 
Another number on a list 

I don't want it, you can have it 
You can try, but you won't make me 
Feel the things you feel 
I'll take my chances, till I find a better deal 
I'll take my chances, along with all the rest 

The snail goes over the razor blade 
The suicide squad of lemmings parade 
To their kingdom, where they've made reservations 

I have no reservation 
I don't think my seat's been saved 
I'll take my chances, here, right

KILL ALL THE WHITE MAN 

The white man call himself civilized 
Cause he know how to take over 
The white man come to pillage my village 
Now he tell me I have to bend over 

Oh yeah, kill all the white man 

No I don't like the white man up in me 
He rape all my people as he rape my country 
Everything I love and cherish, he try to take away 
We will be rid of him, soon come the day 

Oh yeah, kill all the white man 
Oh yeah, kill all the white man 
Oh yeah, kill all the white man 
Oh yeah, kill all the white man
