Do You Compute
do you compute - i think you do - don`t need it proven, don`t wanna listen,
don`t need a tour of the pieces i`m missing, as if you were put here to
straighten us out, and everything you said was being written down - you weren`t
and it isn`t and nobody`s listening, and nobody gives a fuck what you go do
with your life
Golden Brown
i got a shingle and i`ll guard it with my life, i`m just keeping off the flies
- yeah i drank from the tap - shoulda left it in the pipes. this is my cause
and my excuse - i`ll take the loss but i`ll get what i got due. yeah i ain`t
burnt - just golden brown.
Luau
failures in outer space, failures and crimes, lets get something straight:
s`not for mine. before you were born, after you die, failures in outer space,
failures and crimes, it`s depth - whatever its worth - it`s in the unit to
measure the curse - it`s in the set-up yeah it`s built in, whatever the get up
- yeah it`s buit in - wait til the rubout - wait til the purge - wipe the last
haole the fuck off our turf - aloha! aloha! suit up! luau! luau! luau! luau! -
kill off the tourist and we`ll all sleep sound - cash-in their fillings & blow
it in town - we`ll blow it on rifles, we`ll blow it on drinks, head in the
corner, head in the sink
Super Unison
ready ready to let you in. up with the mob. it ain`t no accident we`re better
off. you`re set to inherit what i got. you`re putty now in my hands. you`re
bloody now in my hands. yeah keep the herd in check or be absorbed. thats
all. yeah that`ll happen next and who`ll be there to write you off. bla bla
bla...
New Math
yeah i`d stoop to that. sure i would. yeah you been had. that`s how i got my
job at the underwriter`s lab. you bet i sucked up. everychance i had. that`s
how i fixed it. that`s what i did. and now my knees are spotless and my legs
are crossed. and i needn`t spread them. cause i can afford: piety, chastity,
charity, your company.
Human Interest
you set it up, you set it right, it`s fair enough. al`right: if i want a
loan, if i wanna trespass. why should i walk when you`ve got wheels. when i`m
in doubt, when i`m in debt, when i`m in deep at your expense. then i owe you.
i owe you. i owe. i`d never make you suffer, i know that wouldn`t do, and
that ain`t practical, and i ain`t through. when what i got needs fixing, when i
want something new, i know i`m covered with you. your`re my human interest...
Sinews
found yourself an asshole, find yourself the door. ain`t gonna fix your leaks
for you. ain`t gonna watch the store. every last string and gut pulled apart
and divvied up / my share / trash man / etc. found yourself an asshole, knew
you could afford. keep your handouts - cup cake - find yourself the door
