Something For Everyone
Find yourself in Bali on the day the call Nyepi and you best not say a word, or you'll be silenced by the guards. Or in in Thailand, each November, see the lanterns made of paper, in the full moon, rising higher. They're on fire.
CHORUS: There's something for everyone (x8).
Eat some frangipane on the sixth of January and, if there's a toy in side, you can become the king of France. Or from the beach on New Year's Ever, in Rio deJaneiro, make your wishes, jumping over waves and fishes.
(Chorus)
Every February, in the chilly Yukon province, there's a contest as to who can form the most impressive hairdo. First, dip it in the water of the Takhini hot springs, then create something crowd-pleasing as it's freezing.
(Chorus)
Near the end of May in Brockworth Village, the UK, there is a race of rolling cheeses, from the top of Cooper's Hill. Weighing nine pounds each, on average, these great wheels can do some damages. Yes, bystanders in Gloucester have been injured.
(Chorus)
So go your way. Yes, follow your heart, knowing, as you play your part, that in the final hour, we answer to a higher power.
Lazy
Under different circumstances, maybe I'd have better chances. Can't cheat fate. Just wasn't my time. If the stars align, someday, my ship will come in. Please notify my next-of-kin. Might have been a winner, if my folks knew how to raise me.
CHORUS: Call me stupid. Call me crazy. But the truth is, I'm just lazy.
Looks like Monday would be better... all depends upon the weather. Who knows if the mood will strike? Someone upstairs doesn't like me. Don't put me in a position where I have to make decisions. Take responsibility and people point their fingers.
(Chorus)
Albeit, I don't wanna be that guy.
Google "medical conditions" ...you'll find one to match my symptoms. Can't expect too much of me. I could have a rare disease. But little troubles me now, since I got a scrip that stifles conscience. No time to work through my issues... that sounds like a headached.
(Chorus)
Albeit, I don't wanna be that guy.
Don't blame me, here. I'm the victim, pit against a crooked system. Passed me over ....goes to show: it's not what but who you know. Perhaps I should join the dark side ...heard they're offering a free ride. One vile act, to prove myself; then it's all downhill.
(Chorus)
Albeit, I don't wanna be that guy.
Traffic is a real nightmare. Other reasons I'm not there: a family emergency... cat got stuck up in a tree. Go ahead and close the door. I'm getting used to being poor. Rich people just rape the planet. That makes me a hero.
(Chorus)
Albeit, I don't wanna be that guy.
Hooligans
The generation decimating the nation is the newest to arrive on the scene. 'Cause the truth of history has been shrouded in mystery. As for freedom, they don't know what it means. So...
CHORUS: The hooligans... hooligans are taking over
Put a baseball bat in the hand of a brat and then you tell him he's the one who's been robbed.
You can thank George Soros tor the suffering and sorrow. But at least somebody gave them a job. And...
(Chorus)
The kid's been training, on the video games, to destroy and feel nothing at all. Ultra realistic... now your son is sadistic and the rest of us are taking the fall. 'Cause...
(Chorus)
Got panic attacks, from not hitting the sack, but sitting up in front of a screen. So we give 'em some pills and they're ready to kill, 'cause now we're just invading their dreams. And...
(Chorus)
Oh yeah!
There's a Sleestak sneaking up behind. You can be him, if you hurry. Better get a move on. 'Cause your bluff stopped working. But the lizards aint lurking in the temple. Better make it your home. 'Cause...
(Chorus)
Good Time Charlie
CHORUS: Good time Charlie... He's always there when you need him. In the good times, he’s always there. (Repeat)
Charlie, you know, we are counting on you to be happy. 'Cause when you’re happy, everything’s good. Don’t let us down. Don’t get caught with a frown. Just be happy. Good time Charlie, it’s up to you.
REFRAIN: Where’d he go? Where’d he go? I don’t know. Have you seen him? Where’d he go? Where’d he go? I don’t know.
(Chorus)
Life of the party, we all know our Charlie will be there. From out of nowhere, look who showed up.
But when it's over, he goes back to nowhere. Housekeeping is quite his thing. You just hang tough.
(Refrain, Chorus)
Don't try to shame him. You can't really blame him for bailing. His ship is sailing into the blue. No BFFs. He can't handle the stress of commitment. Charlie's just different from me and you.
(Refrain)
Freak Show
Hottentot Lover—I seen that. Three-legged brother—I seen that. Siamese Twins—I seen that. Sucker ...said I been around the block. Now that's all that you got? Little Tom Thumb—I seen that.
Black Scorpion—I seen that. Pickled Punks—baby, I seen that. Maybe you should find one with a beard, 'cause it’s gotta be weirder.
CHORUS: Wait a minute. You said this was a freak show. Wait a minute. I though this was a freak show.
Mary Ann Beven—I seen that. Patrick O’Brien—I seen that. Fat Boy of Peckham is perfect. Don’t wreck him. Just mention a diet and there’s gonna be riots. Skeleton Woman—I seen that. Fiji Mermaid—I seen that. Lion faced Lady—if she lived today, would she identify as a regular guy?
(Chorus)
Spotlight movie—I seen that. Eric Till’s Luther—I seen that. Breach, with Cooper ...got an Opus Dei trooper selling out the States, 'cause the church is a traitor. Charlotte Keckler—I heard that. Fifty Years in Rome—they burn that. Doctor Faust, he got nothing on Fauci—a Jesuit reaper of souls, in the millions.
(Chorus)
Hurry hurry, step right up. Ladies and germs, for your entertainment... Feast your eyes
on this spectacle of nature.
Keepers Of The Flame—I seen that. Tell It To The World—I seen that. Hacksaw Ridge and Gifted Hands... Jesus freaks, baby. They be taking a stand. Patience Of The Saints—I wrote that. Great Controversy—I quote that. Darkness rising ain't nothing surprising. The Spirit of Prophecy already warned me.
(Chorus)
You know who the real freaks are: anyone with a sense of decency.
Best In Town
Have you been to the 5 and 10? ...got the fastest deals in town. Get it quicker, 'cause it's been delivered. You don't have to wait around. ...got the fastest deals in town
Fill your cart at the Grocery Mart. ...got the freshest food in town. Local produce... Now what else would you use? Get the freshest food in town. 'Cause they will not you down.
On the floor of the hardware store ...got the best hired hands in town. They ain't shy ...look you in the eye. ...got the best hired hands in town. And they just won't let you down.

One and all, at the shopping mall, see the people of this town. Face to face... It's a meeting place with the people of this town. No the mall won't let you down.
Low prices... beat our low prices. Take it to the limit. Don’t kill us. Don’t let them kill us. ...got to make a living.
Amazon went and dropped a bomb on the retail stores in town. Mom and pops had to close up shop. ...some of the best folks in this town. Mr. Bezos shut 'em down.
Stay at home and await the drone or get dressed and go to town. There's a lesson in the old expression ...what it means to "go to town." And it will not let you down.
Dystopia
Welcome to Dystopia. How ‘bout a dystopia? Let’s have a dystopia. Don’t want that Heaven no more? You’ll get that Heaven no more.
No elusive dreams to cloud my mind. I see it for what it is: naked and real, stark and unkind. Welcome to the Brave New World.
CHORUS: Dystopia... Give us a dystopia. We want a dystopia. Don’t want that Heaven no more?
Give us that Heaven no more.
Said the high priest to Roger Morneau: "Lawfully it’s Lucifer’s... Christ will abdicate all claim to the planet." We will then be left with...
(Chorus)
Give Christians the boot. They've had their day. What a bunch of hypocrites! Let the human race go it’s own way. No more guilty conscience...
(Chorus)
No more right and wrong …everything goes. Survival of the fittest now... With no one to judge, maybe—who knows—we can finally get along.
(laughter)
Sucker Punch
Not everyone plays by the rules ...won’t see it coming, when they hit you. Something seems off… go with your hunch. Be on your guard ...the sucker punch.
He may not be quick on his feet. But if you think you got him beat... Just when you least expect, it comes out of the blue—the sucker punch.
Whoda thunk it?
Don’t count your chicks before they hatch. You’ll be surprised, when this one cracks. ...won’t hear a thing until the crunch. What do you know? …the sucker punch.
You may be big. You may be strong ...may want to learn to get along. That little man... he ain't no dunce; knows how to land the sucker punch.
My, oh my...
Things can go South. Things can go bad. Best watch your mouth. Best watch your back. Push them too far; people go nuts. One may give you the sucker punch.
Too Live
CHORUS: Too live, too live, too raw, too real... It’s coming straight from the source, naked and coarse. Ain't using no filter. Too live, too live, too raw, too real... We gonna shoot from the hip; just let 'er rip. Stand back or get blasted.
Do us all the favor: Dial down the flavor. Grant you this: it's intense Still, you gotta make sense.
(Chorus)
Have you seen the class act? Notice, he don’t grandstand. Take a tip from has-beens: It’s good to know your limits.
(Chorus)
Never mind the ball-hog. All he does is small-talk. Don’t you think it’s maybe it's time to grow up, baby?
(Chorus)
Don’t be superstitious. Life don’t grant you wishes. Learn to sew the right seed and enjoy what you reap.
(Chorus)
High Signs
Mr. Chairman; ladies and gentlemen... The very word "secrecy" is repugnant, in a free and open society. And we are, as a people, opposed to secret societies; to secret oaths and to secret proceedings.
Welcome to the good old boys club. Now you're one of us. Do the master's bidding or get thrown under the bus.
CHORUS:
Hi signs and tricky handshakes ...just in case you wondered how we get our breaks.
For are opposed by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covet-means for expanding it's sphere of influence ...on infiltration, instead invasion ...on subversion, instead of elections ...on intimidation, instead of free choice.
(Chorus)
It's preparations are concealed; not published. It's mistakes are buried; not headlined. It's dissenters are silenced; not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.
Hiss... You want a piece of this don’t ya? Kiss the ring and become his soldier.
Hi signs and tricky handshakes... From the inner circle, no one shall escape (and live to tell)
Great snakes!
Believe It
CHORUS: Kelli can’t believe it. She was a sucker from the get-go. Kelly can’t believe it. His preconceptions wouldn’t let go.
Kelli’s bought into the ways of the world, drummed into her head from when she was a girl.
(Chorus) They had a mind of their own.
Eyelids are heavy and hearts have grown fat, from swallowing camels and straining at gnats.
(Chorus) Eww... all these tacky people!
Wise in their own eyes, they sit holding court and dismiss, out of hand, evidence of all sort.
(Chorus) Where’s a safe space when you need one?
Now, he'd rather die than admit that he's wrong. And she cannot accept it was there all along.
(Chorus) You make it sound so easy.
See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil... You think it doesn’t exist
Calling It A Day
My woman says she’s not an early riser. I’m at 5 am and don’t apprise her. Feeding her cats... they’re climbing up the wall. Then go to work, where I will have a ball.
CHORUS: Calling it a day... I’m calling it a day. I'm calling it a day. I'm calling it a day.
What more can I say?
My boss say’s “Hurry up. We’re over budget. We gotta get this right. Now don’t you fudge it." Feels like somebody threw me in the deep end. I’ll keep my head above the water, then I'm...
(Chorus)
Back at the casa, there’s “honey do” list. I put my feet up and pretend I’m clueless. Please baby, can’t it wait until the weekend? You just got started, but I’m near the end.
(Chorus)
Have mercy, I pray.
The movie’s over and she want’s another. But my assignment now is under covers. And I’m a microwave, while she’s a crockpot. Might make a little whoopee... probably not.
(Chorus)
There's no other way
