Альбом Less Than Jake

Now listen up, and hear what I'm sayin'
If he's not talking to himself, no, no, no, no
Then he must be prayin'
Shine my shoes, you
And wait for a dime
Then pick my pockets, while I'm in line
Can you tell me the score
Down at the liquor store, the store
Liquor Store go!

It was a cold december on 2nd ave and 6th st.
Too cold to think about anybody passing me
When I overheard 'I'm gonna tell you straight from the shoulder...
Boy... You better get running'
On the corner of 2nd and 6th and outta time,
With a cough, feeling lost and a bottle of cheap wine.
Just then I realized that I can't seem to understand
When I saw that guy heading for the dopeman.
It's just the same old story on the same old street
And it's just another worn down, worn out casualty
Of 2nd ave and 6th st.
On the corner of 2nd and 6th and feeling down
When I overheard 'I'm gonna take a gun and take you out'
Just then I realized that I can't seem to understand
How anyone can take the life of another man.
It's just the same old story on the same old street
And it's just another worn down, worn out casualty
Of 2nd ave and 6th st.

Step it up my life
Spent round the clock
Has got me running on a treadmill with no time to stop
And competition has put a price on time,
See all the people you left behind
And step on all the people that have fell behind,
Competition has put a price on time.
Man,
I’m all I’ve got,
Like it or not,
I’m all I’ve got.
I’m econolodged.

He's just like anyone
he's just like anybody
just like anyone
he's just like frank
and I know it
and he knows it
it's his one sided point of view
I know it when he says
it's my way, or the wrong way
and I don't care about you
but to see my side wouldn't be the worst thing he could do
when someone's politic blinds you
and binds you
to something you don't believe in
and he's just like anyone...
and I saw him walking on my way
path third street just the other day
why doesn't he understand views keep changing?

I think I think I know it all,
but can I be sure of the things I've grown to know about,
and can I say I know it all,
when rules just guide me to blindly follow

and things are automatic when you see them everyday
is it the same routine
or just my fucked up dreams,
that keep you walking mindless all the way?

I think, I think I know it all
but is our beliefs just stringing us along
and was there something wrong in what I heard,
for every hour of the day?

bad things are automatic when you see them everyday
is it the same routine
or just your fucked up dreams,
that keep you walking mindless all the way?

i think, i think i kno it alfuck (2x)

Something's not right
Urban sprawl, from urban blight
something's not right
when history turn into a building site
locked out, fenced up, closed down without a sound
Something's not right
when downtown is just all blinking lights
Something's not right
when strip malls and condos are at your every side

There was a time when I could say it right to you
that I was never going to leave this place
but now its "I was wrong"
and "I don't wanna fucking talk about it"
cause it feels like things have changed

Yeah well I could talk, talk, talk
and say I'm wrong, wrong, wrong
but I feel I'm in a place I've never known
and it feels like there's something wrong,
something wrong, something wrong
and I know that I don't wanna know...

And I feel it's like "I'm never going back now"
"I'm never going back now",
And I feel it's like "I'm never going back again"
"I'm never going back again"

There was a time when I would say I must be crazy
that I would say this place is looking strange
but now its "I'm kinda lost" and "I just don't remember"
because things never stay the same...

Yeah,well I could talk, talk, talk
and say I'm wrong, wrong, wrong
but I feel I'm in a place I've never known
and it feels like there's something wrong,
something wrong, something wrong
and I know that I don't wanna know...

And I feel it's like "I'm never going back now"
"I'm never going back now",
And I feel it's like "I'm never going back again"
"I'm never going back again"

Right!

Friday night on coke with a crow bar,
Left at two in the back of Doug's car,
Without a plan and being fucked up,
Looking for somethin', somethin', yeah, for ourselves.

Friday night at three at a side door,
Doug said "Try to get the door just once more."
I said "Man, this all fucked up.
Looking for somethin', somethin', yeah, for ourselves."

Feelin' kinda weird and I'm thinkin' to myself,
Feelin' kinda weird and I'm thinkin' to myself,
"Fuck, Doug,
I'm not going out like this."
He said "Man, I'm all I got and I won't be missed."
And this makes, this makes no sense to me
It ain't the way,
the way its supposed to be.

Yea hey

How's my driving?

Something's out there
and it takes me away
from a world too small
too small to stay
something's out there
yeah, something's out there
something's out there
and it takes me away
from a world too small
too small to stay
something's out there (x2)

Another day in this place so small
I'd rather be somebody else
maybe if my mind wasn't so tall
I wouldn't be able to tell
and I have walked these streets
it seems like ten million times
and I've seen things
up and leave time after time
another day in this place so small
I'd rather be somebody else
(old habits die hard
and old habits die hard)
