Working Class Whore

i can feel the pressure coming down
from all around so many deadlines to meet
life has gotten crazy again
so many people counting on me
i keep my nose pressed to the grindstone
i find comfort there i work for a living
and i get it done i don't have a moment to spare.
you think you've got me figured out
well there's not really to much more
i work for a living and i get it done
i'm just another working class whore.
i put in the over time on this corporate ladder
climb i'm respected inside these wall's
i make my journey home watch tv all alone
outside i'm nothing so many times
i wish i could make a difference in this world
but i work for a living and i get it done
i just do as i am told you think
you've got me figured out
well there's not really to much more
i work for a living and i get it done
i'm just another working class whore.
day in day out same old thing
i'm a slave to this grind for all the work i do
to keep myself ahead
i wonder what i leave behind.
rent, water, power, phone,
insurance to pay on health, life auto and home.
i wake up old and i won't fit the mold
i'll be out on my own.
i'm just another working class whore.

Soberbeah

all the trees they line the yards
suburban homes all in a row screened in porches,
swimming pools deluxe electric garage doors
and trampolines, parkway where the grass grows,
solar panel lighted christmas trees.
i'm far away from where i wanna be
suddenly appreciates the inside foundations
cracked yeah that we know for sure
i'm far away from where i want to be.
what happens next to be
you'll know high rise in the city elevators
up to the hundredth floor doormen with their
whistle blow taxi lights they come and go go
ahead and piss your day away

back

Pie

everyone goes through a little pain
keep watching and follow me the guilt
that your going to give to me is never going
to leave something new and i don't relate
can't hang around for long a stone unturned
every missing word disillusioned i've become
this ain't the way it's supposed to be this
time i think i'll let it lay another day to
drown i'm tired and my patience thin keep
feeding off the bone some say that it's
impossible to stop and smell the rose going
out with a bang next time don't know what i'll
be next year a few hours south and the air is
green maybe something new is there it has to
work this time around or i'll trade it in for
sure everything for me myself and
i this time come first

back

Gone

i don't plan anything
i'm trying to come home thoughts of
you are always on my mind a runaway
from problems my excuse when i am there
you roll over once again i'm gone i'm old
it's plain to see a life of tragedy save
it for later that's what we always said what
will that do for us tried to paint a picture
of the time that we once shared you never
seemed to be so concerned story goes like
this you say i'm almost never there independent
is what you've always want an arm to hold on
someone to sleep next to in the night rolling
over once again i'm gone look through the
backlog and index of thoughts this time
it won't get to me.

back

Over It

i don't want to hear another word
your over it it seems i don't think
you'll mind the end to much if it
justifies your means all this silence
once disturbed me there's nothing more
to say unless you speak what's on your
mind you can go your separate way.
wake me up when it's all over i've got
things to do i'd like to get on with my
life if it's with or without you and it
breaks my heart to see all that we've done
just thrown away an i don't wanna live like
this today for the last four years i've come
to but my head against this wall for all the
troubles i've found i've got nowhere at all i
try to speak but no one hears a single word i
say desperation seems to grow with every show
i play i may be down but i'm not out
there's a few rounds left to go been
around this circle enough time i ought
to know life is what you make of it and
i'm too tired to play i don't want to live
like this today i'm so tired of feeling
like i do from waiting to see if we will
change all that we thought we'd never be
is what we live today i don't want to
live my life this way

back

Darkside

i could never do enough for you
you took all i could give to leave
me outside in the cold am i supposed
to forgive? go your way and i'll go
mine there's nothing left to say i'm
better of without some one who would
treat a friend this way felling sorry
for yourself i don't feel sorry for you
search for answers find no answers
i don't feel sorry for you support your
cause i never will believe a thing you
say the taste of dirt inside your mouth
it's the dark side you can blame search
to find the answers that were once
intelligent now you find your self all
alone with your new friends the loss of
hope the forgotten dreams i'll get over
you some day you built this wall around
yourself and you pushed us all away
there's so many song's that glorify
this sickness that decay standing still
while your hanging on i'll get over you
someday

Nothing To Lose

don't tell me life can be unkind
how the goals you thought you could
reach you can never find cause it's
all work ain't nothing free to bad you
had to learn at the expense of me i'm
tired of the lies i hear why do you feel
the need to dismiss your act's of selfishness
why can't you own up to your own greed?
nothing to lose and nothing to gain your
still right where you've always been
nothing ever seems to change nothing to
prove or to be explained you get what you
deserve in the end it's really all the same
so much for my trust in you my once long
time friend you've done the damage that you
can do the waste of energy you expend i've
done nothing dishonest to you you lit the
flame that burned this bridge and from all
i see and hear the guilt is laying heavy on
your head. think of all the energy you've
wasted trying to get even nothing come from
bringing others down i'm all out of sympathy
you took what you could take from me
squander your i'll gotten fortune back

back

Second Best

i don't care to much about anything anymore
there's no difference between wrong and right
I'm tired living life out of spite
i don't care to much about anything anymore
i've been here for to long it's this change
i can't go through your better off without me aren't you?
(aren't you?)
i've lost my faith in finding humanity
for every girl that ever broke my heart
for every fucked up friend that played that part
i have lost my faith in finding humanity
compassion isn't enough for all that I can do
you're better off with out me, aren't you?
i've been here too long to change
i can't go though you're better without me,
aren't you? (aren't you?)

back

Just For Me

forget the tears running down my face
everything so unimportant and you say
when we understand all our problems will
go away and i'm just trying to keep things
simple know what's it going to take for me
to say a few more hours i think we need a
change get back to all the reasons when
we've tried to turn the other way response
triggers an image i'm just trying to keep
it all together now what's it going to take
for me to say i built these walls around
my world so no one could get in selfish
that's the way i want to be sharing not
my thing and definitely won't give
i'm keeping all that's left it's just for me.
