Poster Child
02:31

He was the poster child
For the meek and mild
Hew bland and boring
He woke himself up snoring
He loved America
A girl named Erika
He was so self-centered
Until it came to her
He ran from aliens
Went live on CNN
Then he was abducted
His view was obstructed
He lives in outer space
He’s in a better place
At least that’s what they tell him
Don’t nobody want to sell him
He was the poster child
Now he has gone wild
In an insane asylum
He woke himself up snoring

Bicycle Willie

|
He woke up one morning
He grabbed his .44
Headed down to the corner store
Busted right through the door
He looked to the left, he looked to the right
He looked right in front of him, looking for a fight
Bicycle Willie was collecting soda cans
The gunman called him silly, Willie was the better man
Then he shot poor Willie, he shot him to the floor
Old Bicycle Willie, ain't alive no more
Then he shot poor Willie, he shot him to the floor
Old Bicycle Willie, ain't alive no more
Everybody thought Willie's down for the count
But to all their surprise Willie got back on his mount
He pedaled and he pushed as fast as he could
But Bicycle Willie was chased into gunman's hood
The gunman stood right over him, he looked into his eyes
Willie looked right back at him, with those zombie eyes
Then he shot poor Willie, he shot him to the floor
Old Bicycle Willie, ain't alive no more
Then he shot poor Willie, he shot him to the floor
Old Bicycle Willie, ain't alive no more

Get Out Of My Song
02:57
|

|
Don’t you pretend that you love me
Don’t even start this game
You know that you’re not thinking of me
We both know that we’re not the same
Your self-centered little ways now
Will get on my bad side real quick
You’ve been at it a few days now
It’s about time you quit
Don’t bother me any more
Leave me alone
I’m gonna show you the door
Get out of my song
You can’t convince me you’ve changed now
You know you’re really the same
And I’m not gonna rearrange now
Not for fortune or for fame
Did you really believe we could do this?
Be together again
You’re drifting into the abyss
So I guess this is the end
Don’t bother me any more
Leave me alone
I’m gonna show you the door
Get out of my song

Sea Bears
02:54

|
If you plan to go exploring
On the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
You better bet it won't be boring
There'll be plenty of carnage
There's a bad mamma-jamma
With a bone to pick with you
She's got a bite like a hammer
And when she come's for you you're through
Cuz she's a Sea Bear
And she don't care
She'll rip you limb from limb
And floss with your hair
Cuz she's a Sea Bear
You don't have to worry bout getting lost in the dark
No you don't have to worry bout no great white shar
Sea Bears gonna get you, and you better not flee
Cuz she hates fast food, that's why she don't like me
Cuz she's a Sea Bear
And she don't care
She'll rip you limb from limb
And floss with your hair
Cuz she's a Sea Bear

Indian Casino

He walked into a casino
That Native American boy
He did not know in Reno
His people were employed
He tried his hand at hold 'em
He lost a hand or two
Before he learned to fold 'em
His debt was overdue
Indian Casino, downtown in Reno
Indian Casino, yeah
Indian Casino, downtown in Reno
Indian Casino, yeah
He tried his hand at Jack
and that was a mistake
Now he's living in a shack
And all his clothes are fake
At least his people prosper
While he's eating raw corn
It just doesn't seem proper
His people do not mourn
Indian Casino, downtown in Reno
Indian Casino, yeah
Indian Casino, downtown in Reno
Indian Casino, yeah
Indian Casino, downtown in Reno
Indian Casino, yeah
Indian Casino, downtown in Reno
Indian Casino, 1-2, 1-2-3-4
Indian Casino, downtown in Reno
Indian Casino, yeah
Indian Casino, downtown in Reno
Indian Casino, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Leaving Home
03:50

Leaving home to be alone
Tryin’ to make it on my own
Leaving all this misery
I know the world out there needs me
I don’t know where to go
You don’t have to help me know
Leaving your dull life behind
Finally made up my mind
You said it’s not all fun and games
But you forgot I’m numb to pain
You better bet I’ll prove you wrong
If not now, by the end of this song
I just have to bite the bullet
I gotta load, I gotta pull it
We all know it’s time for change
It’s in my sights, It’s in my range
Well I guess I’m on my own
I left home to be alone
I left all that misery
There’s a world out there just for me
There’s a world out there for me
There’s a world just for me
You said it’s not all fun and games
But you forgot I’m numb to pain
You better bet I’ll prove you wrong
If not now, by the end of this song
Yeah you said it’s not all fun and games
But you forgot I’m numb to pain
You better bet I’ll prove you wrong
If not now, by the end of this song
