How do we get bread and roses Without getting shit on noses? Recognize the blood you claim from Return to the place you came from Used to be a pharaoh boy caught up in a feral joy Eyes half shut and mouth turned down, Ruined rain your cardboard crown Now you’re trudging through the mud To try and catch rain in your cup Even though the air it tastes good, It’s the dirt that fills you up Since your other dream’s been ravaged, Turn back to a noble savage
2.
Keep a lookout baby doll in such a world of sin If you call on Heaven now would you be let in? Do you see such calming peace like you have never known? Devils watch with jealous eyes the lesser stars outshone Come on, steal a secret glance and see the Sacred Heart, Witness to the world of those immortal from the start Did you have to compromise or could you not conceive Finding out there were no lies that you would not believe? Lying on the cooling board and gazing at the sky, Luck and fate direct me to my lover’s only eye Let us say we can transcend with unrelenting bliss If we can’t, we win the war with sacramental kiss

You pray in the morning and you pray at night, But you can’t surmise why your walk won’t go right You pray on a Sunday and you pray in church But if you pray all day, it ain’t gonna work Go out in the night, put hands into the dirt, But it’ll be for naught, so Dig Until It Hurts You smile at your job and smile in your house But boss and wife don’t know your heart-spark’s been soused You counterfeit kisses and crap out your work But your line’s been snipped off to Hell in a jerk Go out in the night, put hands into the dirt, But it’ll be for naught, so Dig Until It Hurts You pray at your table and pray when you eat But your ass is iced vice from neck up to feet So pray on a Sunday and sit up at church But with your track record it ain’t gonna work

Scrap City Slave Trade has come despite all your moans You owe them big time; now they’re collecting your bones The ink is dry on your contract; the ink is dry on your arm The champagne bubbles have gone flat, the novelty all its charm Scrap City Slave Trade, they specialize in your skin They buy and sell you; the law don’t say it’s a sin The ink is dry on your contract; the ink is dry on your arm If you come out of this intact, you’d be the first one unharmed You know you won’t! Scrap City Slave Trade is now a corporate affair Top-heavy surely, but ain’t it pleasant up there? The ink is dry on your contract; the ink is dry on your arm Your foundation is uncracked, but you should jump up alarmed Scrap City Slave Trade – a mansion built on the sand They’re goods ain’t handmade, but rather made out of hands The ink is dry on your contract; the ink is dry on your arm The deck against us is so stacked, the grip is tightened and warm Yeah it’s so warm! Scrap City Slave Trade – just fold yourself into threes Stuff yourself in an envelope and file it next to your lease The ink is dry on your contract; the ink is dry on your arm Your loan is due now in full exact, so say goodbye to the farm Yeah say goodbye!

There’ll be no cops in Heaven There’ll be no police there There’ll be no pigs in Heaven And we’ll laugh when no one cares There’ll be no laws in Heaven Because we’ll already know them there When a lawyer comes to argument in sums We’ll just point out the way to Hell Cops and criminals are the scum of Earth Separated by a twist of birth All you do is make me not be free I can’t give y’all any sympathy There’ll be no jails in heaven Because we won’t need them there Even the pearly gates won’t even have no bars Because they block up our view so fair

Far in a past time, lost in the space-time, Someone remembers he never forgot Restorate visuals impressed individuals Giveaway gnosis won’t empty the lot This is what passes for death with the masses But I will escape by exstasis! Eon to eon and peon to peon Masters may sit in their infinite chairs Seekers they sought them and priests tried to bought them Looking for progress by missing the stairs This is what passes for death with the masses But I will escape by exstasis! He who is let in is gifted to get in Sent forth so went forth to share what he learned You know a half-truth cuz logic is foolproof Snake is a circle, the gift is the word

Thieves 03:27
Sad to see the Saducees are nothing more than petty thieves But I know all the shits like these will transform into “yes” and “please” Take a look at brother Fate and see the light as it’s too late Now I’ll survey the tragic town as tears of pity trickle down You might not like what you will see but what is done is meant to be By now I’ve cried a thousand tears so let it last a million years

Wave 02:29
I borrowed a picture from you You promised to pay me back two You borrowed a paper from me I promised to pay you back three A big wave crashed on the steps of the wall As they wash on the shores that you’ll never see fall Life can be kind as St. Vincent de Paul So if Hex is alive, I won’t complain at all My friend wave it brought you back to me My friend wave it brought you back to me My friend wave it brought you back to my home

Little Chief 02:17
All hail the new Caesar, Cuz he’s gonna be a pleaser All hail the new Caesar, Cuz he’s gonna be a pleaser I’d settle down, but the closest Would be the new Moses Little Chief was the Big Chief’s son Got his hands on a white man’s gun Shot a brother who popped him one And now he’s chiefly little on the run He’s a solitary scarecrow Longing on the fence line Not a sucker-ass punk ho Lounging in the moonshine Why don’t you hop on this post And watch a fella unwind?

Baby Money 02:31
I ain't complaining to you boss man But I got a wallet crack to mend I got some baby money And a precious little bit left to spend So don't tell me about your cash flow Don't you tell me about your pay There's a couple of things that I know That I bet you'd rather I not say You'd sell out your own sister For a little shot of your favorite drink If you store up too much gold On that ship, it will sink So don't tell me about your cash flow Don't you tell me about your pay There's a couple of things that I know That I bet you'd rather I not say You wouldn't leave your seat or even Move your ass for a friend Before this courtroom drama's over There's a rift that you can't mend No, don't tell me about your cash flow No, don't tell me about your pay There's a couple of things that I know That I bet you'd rather I not say So if you see me on the street Don't you even catch my sight I mostly will not slap a man, But in your case I just might. So don't tell me about your cash flow Don't you tell me about your pay There's a couple of things that I know That I bet you'd rather I not say
