The Fools

Life Sucks, Then You Die!

My house burned down in a flash of thunder
My wife ran off with a one-legged plumber
My crops fell dead when the riverbed went dry.
My dog got squashed by a pickup truck
My son ran away, got hooked on drugs.
My daughter's knocked up by the class of '85.

People say that life is good
It don't seem good to me.
I'm lost without a paddle
And I'm headed up sh*t creek.
People say that life is fun
But I don't know why.
As far as I can tell
LIFE SUCKS then you die.

The government dumps its toxic waste
right on top of my mother's grave
a team of experts say
'It won't do her no harm.'
My sheep went crazy, killed my mule.
I cut off my **** with a power tool
Fixin' the hole where the meteor hit the barn.

People say that life is good
But I just p*ss and moan
I got one foot on a banana peel,
The other in the Twilight Zone.
People say that life is fun
But I don't know why.
As far as I can tell
LIFE SUCKS then you die.

I went to the store to buy some shells
My gun went off, blew the owner to hell.
Now I'm sittin' here in jail, singin this song.
And one guy wants to cut me with a knife.
Another guy wants me to be his wife.
I wish they'd hang me before somethin' really goes wrong!

People say that life is good,
Give thanks for what you have,
When all you have is nothin',
Nothin' makes you glad,
People say that life is fun,
But I don't know why,
As far as I can tell,
LIFE SUCKS,then you die.
People say that life is fun,
But I don't know why,
As far as I can tell,
LIFE SUCKS,
LIFE SUCKS,
LIFE SUCKS, then you die.

And it's even better with the music playing!

A Perfect Circle
Mer de Noms (2000)
Judith

You're such an inspiration for the ways
That I'll never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How the savior has abandoned you
■■■■ your God
Your Lord and your Christ
He did this
Took all you had and
Left you this way
Still you pray, you never stray
Never taste of the fruit
You never thought to question why

It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Praise the one who left you
Broken down and paralyzed
He did it all for you
He did it all for you

Oh so many many ways for me to show you
How your dogma has abandoned you
Pray to your Christ, to your god
Never taste of the fruit
Never stray, never break
Never---choke on a lie
Even though he's the one who did this to you
You never thought to question why

Not like you killed someone
It's Not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
Talk to Jesus Christ
As if he knows the reasons why
He did it all for you
Did it all for you
He did it all for you..

Here's a song from:

Dennis Leary

Life's Gonna Suck

Spoken:
This is a special moment right now,
We'd like to take this time to tell all the kids at home,
Send your parents out of the room.
This is a kid's song.

Life's gonna suck when you grow up, when you grow up, when you grow up.
Life's gonna suck when you grow up, it sucks pretty bad right now.

Hey, if you know the words, sing along!

You're gonna have to mow the lawn, do the dishes, make your bed.
You're gonna have to go to school until you're seventeen.

It's gonna seem about three times as long as that!

You might have to go to war, shoot a gun, kill a nun.
You might have to go to war when you get outta school!

Hey, cheer up kids, it gets a lot worse!

You're gonna have to deal with stress, deal with stress, deal with stress.
You're gonna be a giant mess when you get back from the war.

Santa Clause does not exist, and there is no Easter Bunny.
You'll find out when you grow up that Big Bird isn't funny!
(Funny...Funny...Yahahahahaha....)

Life's gonna suck when you grow up, when you grow up, when you grow up.
Life's gonna suck when you grow up, it sucks pretty bad right now!

You're gonna wind up smoking crack, on your back, face the fact.
You're gonna wind up hooked on smack, and then you're gonna die!

AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA DIE! HEY-HEY!

Michelle Branch, You Get Me

So I’m a little left of center
I’m a little out of tune
Some say I’m paranormal
So I just bend their spoon
Who wants to be ordinary
In a crazy, mixed-up world
I don’t care what they’re sayin’
As long as I’m your girl

Hey, you are on my side
And they, they just roll their eyes

You get me
When nobody understands
You come and take the chance, baby
You get me
You look inside my wild mind
Never knowing what you’ll find
And still you want me all the time
Yeah, you do
Yeah, you get me

So what if I see the sunshine
In the pouring rain
Some people think I’m crazy
But you say it’s okay
You’ve seen my secret garden
Where all my flowers grow
In my imagination
Anything goes

I, I am all you want
They, they just read me wrong

You get me
When nobody understands
You come and hold my hand, baby
You get me
You look inside my wild mind
Never knowing what you’ll find
Still you want me all the time
Yeah, you do
‘Cause you get me

Hey, you are on my side
They, they just roll their eyes
Yeah, yeah, yeah

‘Cause you get me
When nobody understands
You come and take the chance, baby
You get me
When none of the pieces fit
You make sense of it
You get me
You look inside my wild mind
Never knowing what you’ll find
And still I want you all the time
Yeah, I do
‘Cause you get me
Yeah, oh, Yeah, oh

I just like it cuz the verses fit me rather well. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Thick As A Brick by Jethro Tull

My words but a whisper -- your deafness a SHOUT.
I may make you feel but I can't make you think.
Your sperm's in the gutter -- your love's in the sink.
So you ride yourselves over the fields and
you make all your animal deals and
your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick.
And the sand-castle virtues are all swept away in
the tidal destruction
the moral melee.
The elastic retreat rings the close of play as the last wave uncovers
the newfangled way.
But your new shoes are worn at the heels and
your suntan does rapidly peel and
your wise men don't know how it feels to be thick as a brick.

[Jerome]

The Downeaster "Alexa"

Well I'm on the Downeaster "Alexa"
And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound
I have chaartered a course to the Vineyard
But tonight I am Nantucket bound

We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterday
And left this morning fromhe bell in Gardner's Bay
Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home
Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone

So I could own my Downeaster "Alexa"
And I go where the ocean is deep
There are giants out there in the canyons
And a good captain can't fall asleep

I've got bills to pay and children who need clothes
I know there's fish out there but where God only knows
They say these waters aren't what they used to be
But I've got people back on land who count on me

So if you see my Downeaster "Alexa"
And if you work with the rod and the reel
Tell my wife I am trolling Atlantis
And I still have my hands on the wheel

Now I drive my Downeaster "Alexa"
More and more miles from shore every year
Since they told me I can't sell no stripers
And there's no luck in swordfishing here

I was a bayman like my father was before
Can't make a living as a bayman anymore
There ain't much future for a man who works the sea
But there ain't no island left for islanders like me

Do The Evolution - Pearl Jam

I'm ahead...I'm advanced.
I'm the first mammal to wear pants.
I am at peace with my lust.
I can kill cause in god I trust.
It's evolution baby!

I'm a beast...I'm the man.
Buying stocks on the day of the crash.
On the loose, I'm a truck.
All the rolling hills I'll flatten 'em out.
It's herd behavior...it's evolution baby!

Admire me, admire my home,
Admire my son, he is my clone.
This land is mine, this land is free,
I'll do what I want, yet irresponsibly.
It's evolution baby!

I'm a thief, I'm a liar.
There's my church, I sing in the choir.
Halelujah...Halelujah...

Admire me, admire my home,
Admire my song, admire my clothes.
Cause we know an appetite for nightly feasts.
Those ignorant Indians got nothing on me.
Nothing. Why? Because it's evolution baby!

I am ahead...I am advanced,
I am the first mammal to make plans.
I crawled the earth, but now I'm higher.
2010 watch it go to fire.
It's evolution baby!
Do the evolution!
Come on!
It's evolution baby!

Inside Out - Eve 6

I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rinds
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
Swallow my doubt
Turn it inside out
Find nothing but faith in nothing
Want to put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you

I burn burn like a wicker cabinet Chalk white and oh so frail
I see our time has gotten stale
The tick tock of the clock is painful
All sane and logical
I want to tear it off the wall
I hear words in clips and phrases
I think sick like ginger ale
My stomach turns and I exhale

I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rinds
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt
Turn it inside out
Find nothing but faith in nothing
Want to put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you

So Cal is where my mind states
But it's not my state of mind
I'm not as ugly sad as you
Or am I origami
Folded up and just pretend
Demented as the motives in your head

I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rinds
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt
Turn it inside out
Find nothing but faith in nothing
Want to put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through with you

I alone am the one you don't know
You need take heed feed your ego
Make me blind when your eyes close
Sink when you get close
Tie me to the bedpost
I alone am the one you don't know you need
You don't know you need me
Make me blind when your eyes close
Tie me to the bedpost

I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rinds
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt
Turn it inside out
Find nothing but faith in nothing
Want to put my tender heart in a blender
Watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous then I'm through, now I'm through with you

Through with you
Rendezvous then I'm through with you

Savage Garden, Crash and Burn

When you feel alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know that you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take it anymore

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel you can't face the day

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

Because there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breathe again

When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart

Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone

[Leonis]

From Pink Floyd's In the Flesh :

So ya, thought ya
Might like to go to the show.
To feel that warm thrill of confusion,
That space cadet glow.
I've got some bad news for you sunshine,
Pink isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel
And they sent us along as a surrogate band
We're gonna find out where you folks really stand.
Are there any queers in the theater tonight?
Get them up against the wall!
There's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me,
Get him up against the wall!
That one looks Jewish!
And that one's a coon!
Who let all of this riff-raff into the room?
There's one smoking a joint,
And another with spots!
If I had my way,
I'd have all of you shot!

Always loved the devil's advocate approach...
