Tracklist

  1. 1.You're Dead!1:29lyrics +
    You’re dead, but you don’t even know it
    Had a kid and you’re gonna loathe it
    You’re dead, but you don’t even know it
    Your life is done, you’re gonna blow it
    Time to sell the motorcycle, get a family-friendly car
    Too busy catching up on sleep, there’s no time to play guitar
    You wanna get up and get away, but you’re afraid the sitter’s shooting dope
    Hold onto that precious package, keep that baby under a microscope
    Life gets harder  when you’re caring for another
    See you in 18 years
    or at your wake when you realize your mistake
    it’s a long long walk off a short short pier
  2. 2.Doggie Man Boy Man2:25lyrics +
    Are you looking for something to fix? 
    A lost little puppy in a Misfits shirt?
    Tie my collar to my rent check and I’ll never leave your side
    Just holler and I’ll come, I’m your doggie man boy man
    Doggie man boy man, it beats living in a van
    Come when you call my name
    Your friends all think I’m lame
    You can fix me, yes you can, yeah I’m your doggie man boy
    Shoulda got a dog but you got me instead
    I’m never gonna go away
    Drink all the beer and piss on the rug, put my tail between my legs
    Come when you call my name, your friends all think I’m lame
    you can fix me yes you can, I’m your doggie man boy man
  3. 3.The Bloody Scar2:32lyrics +
    I see it coming, It’s loud and clear
    Rip off the bandage, the bloody scar is still there
    I see it coming, It’s loud and clear
    Rip off the bandage, the bloody scar is still there
    Infection never went away, poppin’ pills just helped delay
    Antibiotics, they didn’t do a damn thing
    Now it’s pus-y and gross and ready to burst
    Welcome to the America that time forgot
    Where the fear and anger boils right up to the top
    It was right below but we couldn’t see
    Now we’re going back to 1963
  4. 4.Tiebreaker2:22lyrics +
    You’re the tiebreaker baby, we’re never gonna get along
    You’re the tiebreaker baby, feels like we’re doing it wrong
    You’re the tiebreaker baby, everytime I win some I also lose
    You’re the tiebreaker baby, feeling like this time you gotta choose
    I’ll follow your lead
    It’s the blind leading the blind
    From the highest high to the lowest low, way down below
    We always have us such a damn good time
    You’re the tiebreaker baby, and I don’t know who’s keeping score
    You’re the tiebreaker baby, and I just can’t take anymore
    You’re the tiebreaker baby, going the wrong way on a one way track
    You’re the tiebreaker baby, I’m feeling like this time we won’t be back
  5. 5.Island Fever2:04lyrics +
    I’m feeling pretty down, there’s rumors going around this town
    They’re saying that you’re going but you’re saying that you’re staying
    And I don’t know if you’re gonna be around
    When the trade winds start blowing
    They blow away those who aren’t settled down
    They pick up the dust, and when it blows too much
    Even the strongest winds get blown out of town
    Island Fever, I’m a believer
    That you can go far away, but there’s still bills to pay
    And you’ll find out it’s no holiday
    Thought you landed a permanent vacation
    Sipping mai-tais with the sand between your toes
    But when you’re stuck in a rut, and you can’t make a buck
    It’s time to let the trades take you home
  6. 6.I Just Want You To Care3:10lyrics +
    How can you sleep at night? Do you take prescription meds?
    Do they counteract the horror that you feel so guilty for?
    Does it bother you anymore? Just water under the bridge
    Other people’s lives are not your concern
    When you lie awake at night, do you worry about the people you hurt?
    Or just about your money, just about what you can buy?
    I hope you can’t sleep and your thoughts are filled with horrible emotions
    Not because I want you to suffer, I just want you to care
    There must have been a time when you weren’t so hollow inside
    People used to like you, people could call you a friend
    What happened over those years? Did you trade compassion for power?
    Was it all about the money, or do you just love to hurt?
  7. 7.Selfie Mom2:17lyrics +
    Selfie mom you look so happy
    But I know you’ve got something to hide behind those pretty eyes
    I can see through the smiles, I can see the pain
    I can see all the blame, the burden you alone keep
    That you carry alone, no one will ever know
    You only share the happy times with your friends
    Selfie mom you got it all figured out on the outside
    Selfie mom you’re falling apart on the inside
    It’s ok to let the tears flow through the mascara and onto the floor
    We’re all here for you to help you get along
  8. 8.Bad Dad1:51lyrics +
    Staring at your phone while you're cruising down to Kona
    Sending creepy texts trying to get up on the down low
    Your kids are in the back seat, fighting for their lives
    Crossing yellow lines not watching where you drive
    You're a bad bad bad bad dad and you're making me mad
    Found yourself a mistress from the PTA
    Now your kids are getting playdates while you're romping in the hay
    Passing STDs while your kids are playing Sorry
    Quickie in the closet before your wife gets worried
    You're a bad bad bad bad dad and you're making me mad
  9. 9.I'm Unhappy to Live on Earth1:48lyrics +
    I’m unhappy to live on Earth
    All these people make me squirm
    Other people wanna hug a tree
    I just wanna be set free
    Build me a spaceship, Get me a suit
    Heading to Venus in hot pursuit
    I just wanna be real far away from where you are
    You can have the birds, you can have the bees
    Heading to space let me be me
    There’s nothing on this planet that satisfies me
    Too much oxygen, too much to eat
    A desolate landscape with nothing to breathe
    Silent isolation brings me relief
    I just wanna be real far away from where you are

A friendly kind of rockin’ with just enough weird themes to make it appropriate for Halloween time. But who am I to hate on these dudes playing fun music in paradise?Maximumrocknroll #488, Jason Harding
