Got Kicked by a Kangaroo Sent me flyin’ in the morning dew OK Got Kicked by a Kangaroo Sent me flyin’ in the morning dew OK 8 am on a Sunday morning I’m on me weekly hike I take a look to the trail up ahead And what do I see staring back at me? The meanest looking kangaroo I've ever laid eyes on Now I've had my fair share of scuffles with roos But this one in particular was one ferocious little bugger This here roo wasn't just aggressive She had a lust for blood A near unquenchable thirst for the suffering of others I had no choice but to take my licks like a man And let me tell you mate Boy could she kick Got Kicked by a Kangaroo Sent me flyin’ in the morning dew Alright! Got Kicked by a Kangaroo Sent me flyin’ in the morning dew Alright! I saw the look of death in her eyes And she matched my gaze and stared right into my soul She loaded up onto er tail Balancing perfectly on her muscular appendage She held herself with such grace and precision Like some sort of warrior goddess Next thing I knew her foot was nestled firmly betwixt me nipples And I proceeded to sail through the air at Mach speed To summarize mate, to make a long story short That kangaroo kicked the living daylights outta me Got Kicked by a Kangaroo Sent me flyin’ in the morning dew Alright! Got Kicked by a Kangaroo Sent me flyin’ in the morning dew OK Alright!

Must be something in the paper My heart quavers from the papers Something bout that fax machine baby Can drive a man crazy with its touch Last night I dreamt in my sleep of those magical beeps I love so much Don't say that I'm insane cause ya I'm in pain If by pain you mean love Don’t look at me that way There's nothing more to say Don't treat me rough Here we go Sexy Fax Machine Won't you come back to me And fax away my misery And don’t forget our history Sexy Fax Machine Won't you come back to me And fax away my misery baby If I were to say to you That my love was made for two Would you be angry Last night I saw my printer and my feelings still do linger But I still love you baby No fax machine! Ya, know I came clean Please don't walk away I'm tired of this ink I see printers stink This is the saddest day Here we go Sexy Fax Machine Won't you come back to me And fax away my misery And don’t forget our history Sexy Fax Machine Won't you come back to me And fax away my misery baby I will remember your love We both grown up and we’re now drifting apart Don’t forget to cherish your time We broke our hearts But now we start to fall in line Sexy Fax Machine Won't you come back to me And fax away my misery And don’t forget our history Sexy Fax Machine Won't you come back to me And fax away my misery baby

Demon Slayer Nix he wields a pair of razor picks He hacks his way and slashes through the horde Makin it to the break of day He’s got many words left to say He’s trying to save what we've lost We sleep safe and sound While Slayer Nix hangs around Sheltering the weak from the truth At first, he slayed the beasts He brought about freedom and peace But now he reigns down upon our creed Demon Slayer Nix, we’re tired of your vicious tricks The demons were bad but you are worse Livings not living when you’re under someone's thumb It’s just the precipice of government that makes my mind go numb Oh, it rips And it kills And it makes me dark inside And I wonder just how deep it gets And it makes me wanna cry Demon Slayer Nix's hands are on my throat Choking out our bank accounts and bringing on the cold In chains We’re caged Like cattle churned to meat Never get too comfortable with who you trust to lead Nix sits upon his throne Ransacked our only home Taking everything not tied down The demons pose no threat But new evil's on our heads Aroma of the dead covers town He swindled desperate eyes Won us with deceit and lies Heroes don't exist without desire Livings not living when you’re under someone's thumb It’s just the precipice of government that makes my mind go numb Oh, it rips And it kills And it makes me dark inside And I wonder just how deep it gets And it makes me wanna cry Demon Slayer Nix's hands are on my throat Choking out our bank accounts and bringing on the cold In chains We’re caged Like cattle churned to meat Never get too comfortable with who you trust to lead Demon Slayer Nix's hands are on my throat Choking out our bank accounts and bringing on the cold In chains We’re caged Like cattle churned to meat Never get too comfortable who you trust to lead

Always something in the way We laugh and joke We have a toke Walking on my grave I try to move my feet I’m locked up deep inside of here and I cannot find the key Planning my escape Hearing lonesome melodies whistling through the waves Try to hide the shame But each time I feel the prick of love It just turns into pain Overwhelming thoughts and feelings People stealing all my love away And it seems the more I give you Shrinks my hope for every single day Over the hills and far away We grasp and choke our only hope of leaving here someday Over the hills and far away We grasp and choke our only hope of leaving here someday Do I have strength To walk away and start again living in this place? Is this mezzanine? It feels like purgatory here messing with my mind Overwhelming thoughts and feelings People stealing all my love away And it seems the more I give you Shrinks my hope for every single day Over the hills and far away We grasp and choke our only hope of leaving here someday Over the hills and far away We grasp and choke our only hope of leaving here someday Over the hills and far away We grasp and choke our only hope of leaving here someday Over the hills and far away We grasp and choke our only hope of leaving here someday

This is the saddest song that you ever heard It’s about a man who sold his tiny world It’s about greed It’s about sin It’s about lust It’s about a man who sold his lover’s trust Said I’ll go to school and I’ll make me a million dollars Then I made that “million dollars” and I spent it all I bought a car And I bought a girl And I bought a home I bought a life but I still felt so alone And I cried Got this “million dollars” Didn’t buy joy for me I make my money but there’s something I don’t see And God said NOTHING No, He didn’t respond to me He just gave me His shoulder and left me to be This is the saddest song that you ever heard It’s about a man who sold his tiny world It’s about greed It’s about sin It’s about lust It’s about a man who sold his lover’s trust I had a friend whose name was Jose For a diamond ring I sold his sole away Jose was the greatest friend I ever had The deed I done, made me sick and drove me mad And Oh God Three days later I had lost that diamond ring Hey Hey Hey Deep in my bones, I felt Satan’s sting And I cried Oh Lord why you give this ring to me? Hey Hey Hey But God had nothing to do with it It was all me and now Hey Hey Hey I’m singing the saddest song that you ever heard Hey Hey Hey It’s about a man who sold his tiny world Hey Hey Hey It’s about greed It’s about sin It’s about lust Hey Hey Hey It’s about a man who sold his lover’s trust

Born and raised in Jackson Mississippi Where everybody's happy and we crucify hippies Well, there's just so much to do in a town so small Ya know everyone has Jesus And we don't need malls Well, I told ya brotha And I’ll tell u again Don’t ask too many questions or you can’t make friends Your grandpa’s not a monkey He’s a human being So put down that science book my friend And allow him to sing Come on now Take me down to them country roads Where the grass is green and the folks are cool I said take what you want cause we don't need a lot We just need the lovin that’s inside our hearts Alright Yesterday I took a walk to the church and I sat myself down on the pew And then a pretty young woman took a seat next to me and said “hey man how do you do?” Well, I told that whore to get back from me, I said “hey woman hands of my bod” Oh man these ladies must behave themselves When their sitting in the house of God Come on now Take me down to them country roads Where the grass is green and the folks are cool I said take what you want cause we don't need a lot We just need the lovin that’s inside our hearts One more time Take me down to them country roads Where the grass is green and the folks are cool I said Take what you want cause we don't need a lot We just need the lovin that’s inside our hearts Yes, we do! I got your lovin right in my arms with my heart on my sleeve I got your lovin right in my arms with my heart on my sleeve All together now I got your lovin right in my arms with my heart on my sleeve One more time now I got your lovin right in my arms with my heart on my sleeve Keep it going I got your lovin right in my arms with my heart on my sleeve I got your lovin right in my arms with my heart on my sleeve

Karen I am sorry but please let me see my kids Karen, don’t you see me crying? I just want to hold my little boy Oh, Karen don’t you hear me grovel? Please let me love my flesh and blood Oh, Karen I’m begging on my knees My children are all I've got Malicious Furtive minx Shoulda known better than to have my kids Sadistic Grotesque Leech Soaking up my bank account you made me weak Villain Screeching Vindictive bitch Why did I let me and you get hitched? Beating Pounding on your door Loved when I was rich And left me poor Crying Bleeding on your lap Spawning rays of sunshine till the sun went bad Oh, Karen where did the good times go? It would seem you've pissed it all away I'm suffocating with no air in sight Don’t you think I've learned my place? I bleed my blood and you bleed ice When did you become so cold? Reminisce about the times we’ve had Our feel of limerence grows old Why does all my love go bad? Everything was taken from me I didn't think God could get this cruel But all I think to do is pray It feels like a goddamn curse of the bloodiest worst ways I don’t understand it now my insides throb with RRRRRAAAAAAGGGGGGEEEEEEE The darkness swells inside I’m so damn tired of this Lost my job and spouse My money My house and kids And I've come so numb to be engulfed in shame So tired of lonely nights Exhausting fights and pain Pain Pain Pain Pain PAAAAAAIIIIINNNNN Oh God it hurts Oh God it hurts Oh God it hurts so very much The feelings gone The feelings gone My love is gone My brain is black It’s numb It’s numb It’s numb Swallowed up my life Scrounging up a blade Shutting up my wife Couldn’t quell the pain Screaming in my head Screeching in my mind Do I want her dead? Someone has to die Should it be me Should it be her It has to be us both for sure My conscience leaves The beast is here The blood it seeps drowned in our tears My brain is black My love is gone She won’t come back Ache in my bones The children weep What have I done The cuts run deep And I can't run Destroyed my life But I exist A walking ghost With Satan’s kiss I’m sorry babe I’m sorry kids I’m sorry Lord for what I did It’s over now I hold my breathe until the sweet release of death

Churning and burning We’re constantly turning The cash we made Into a mess Fighting and striving in a system so dividing The dogs on top feed us less and less The cash we've made eventually fades Into the jumbled knots of corrupt cops that we keep paid Always trying to do the best we can With the shrieks of poverty that plague this land Can’t you see the money is misplaced Don't give me facts about my tax till you fix your ways Take a look The ghettos are inflamed People starve in fancy cars just to hide the shame Scoundrel hounds You’re the laziest of bums Greedy eyes and filthy lies under your thumbs Put down my money You communist pig I put my sweat and tears into that dollar bill Hands off my stack Before I cut you down I'm tired of these leeches Feeding off our ground Don't take my money And throw it all away I could spend it better than you any day You filthy dogs are always at my door You have your gluttonous dinners while the rest of us grow poor Our money pays for the food inside your mouths Just keep that in mind next time things go south Don't take my money Don't take the time I've spent And flush it down the toilet You goddamn government Don't take my money Don't take the time I've spent And flush it down the toilet You goddamn government

I just don't know where to begin Seems I've been fighting and riding this road for too long Just give me a chance It will not be in vain I've learned through my faults And I've learned through my pain Bled so much and sunk so low I’ve chalked my hands and chased that score I lay my head on concrete floors I’ve walked through fire Been through the ring I’ve stained my eyes with vagrant wings I’ve tried so hard to keep it clean I’ve left my love everything I give you my soul and give heartache You fed me your lies And I took the bait I just don’t know where to begin Seems I've been fighting and riding this road for too long I’ve been cut I’ve been hurt I’ve been spit out and chewed I’ve been lost I’ve been found I’ve been wronged and abused I have lied I have cheated I've done some things wrong I confess all my sins and I'm singing this song Now all that I've done is all true and right But I get on my knees and I pray to the light I stayed true to myself and the people I've hurt And I never did ever go back on my word I stayed true to myself I stayed true to this world But people don't care they just wanna be heard And nobody cares about telling the truth They want what they want Oh, what can I do? How can I be happy when I’m not myself? It all will mean nothing, your plastic and wealth When you can't look your friends in the eyes Ashamed of the truth beneath all your lies Relations are vapid, cliché and stale Your sole will be crooked Your heart will be frail Truth Gets No Reward Not in whiskey or dimes But life is not worth living behind glass eyes Man is often disillusioned from his aspirations to authenticity and righteousness But I assure you my brothers and sisters All deeds have their consequence We are all siblings of the same creed And in this creed We are wrought by the sinful and malicious Plagued by the deceit imposed upon us by our fellow man How can I call you my brother? My own flesh and blood If you cannot be truthful? We must purge the apathy towards virtue And right the wrongs behind us Marching forward with love in our eyes Only then can we achieve the harmony we desire Only then will we be liberated from our sins At the crossroads of our ascension We must choose to be driven by empathy for each other Because at the end of time Realize we are the brotherhood We must stand together and consolidate in fairness Bonded by love Love for ourselves but more importantly love for mankind We are individuals striving for a better tomorrow And in an age plagued by misguided ideas and deceit I remind you one last time Truth IS rewarded Be authentic Pursue honesty Be the righteous man you want to see staring back at you Practice love and understanding for your brothers of mankind For if you are to slip and be consumed by darkness You have not only failed yourself You have failed your creed So, the next time you are tempted by the grips of malice I leave you with two words…. BE RIGHTEOUS! I just don't know where to begin Seems I've been fighting and riding this road For too long I just don't know where to begin I've come so far Done so much wrong
