Shallow Water

I heard her cry
She was screaming
At the top her lungs
I heard her cry
And i swear she cried about a thousand times over
I remember the first time you made me choose
And you said there was no way we could lose
How you didn't seem to care what I said
About wasting space and wasting time
Now here we are with tainted air
The abundant has become oh so rare
And you walk around without a care
Wasting space and wasting time
Drowning in shallow water
All in the name of progress
And look at what your fortune brought us
Oil and sawdust
I heard her cry
She was screaming
At the top her lungs
I heard her cry
And i swear she cried about a thousand times over
Now regret is a word I don't like to use
But it comes to mind when I think of you
Did I giver birth to a world of fools
Who waste my space and waste my time
Every now and again yes I feel the urge
To wipe you off the face of this earth
Cause that is truly what you all deserve
For wasting space and wasting time
Drowning in shallow water
All in the name of progress
And look at what your fortune brought us
Oil and sawdust
She said die, die
She said die
A thousand times over
You waste of space, you waste of time

Blue Murder

Gonna rob you off your intellect
And then tell you what you should think
Gonna use you til there's nothing left
And then move onto the next
And she whispered
As long as the beat's right you can say whatever you like
As long as the beat's right you can say whatever you like
And get away with blue murder
Get away with blue murder...
Make you love me against your will
With no regard about how you feel
Hypnotise you with these words
And make you feel like I'm the best you ever heard
And she whispered
As long as the beat's right you can say whatever you like
As long as the beat's right you can say whatever you like
And get away with blue murder
She said honestly
I sometimes can't believe
The things that we hear and see
I swear its a tragedy
When it seems that
As long as the beat's right you can say whatever you like
As long as the beat's right you can say whatever you like
As long as the beat's right you can say whatever you like
As long as the beat's right you can say whatever you like
And get away with blue murder...

Hey Mama

Your mama, my mama, same mama
Its all for free and you never charge
In return all you ask is a little regard
Made sure there's enough to go around
Ain't nobody supposed to be without
But we cut you down just to build us up
We don't care to stop we just hit and run
Much too busy having fun
That nobody listens to a word you say
You give and you give but all we do is take
If it goes on like this I know that we will pay
Yet every day we're alive is another chance to change
HEY MAMA
Reminds me of the goose and the golden egg
Cause that's exactly where we're headed
Fill our pocketS with more than enough
And don't even bother to share it with others
But we cut you down just to build us up
We don't care to stop we just hit and run
Much too busy having fun
That nobody listens to a word you say
You give and you give but all we do is take
If it goes on like this I know that we will pay
Yet every day we're alive is another chance to change
HEY MAMA
Your mama, my mama, same mama!
I can't afford to ignore your call
So Imma wake up tomorrow mornin'
If the sun should kiss the sky
Then Imma take that as a sign
That I've been given a little more time
So Imma spend it like the wise
Face the world with open eyes
Not afraid to ask them why oh why?
Nobody listens to a word you say
Especially when there's profit to be made
If it goes on like this I know that we will pay
Yet every day we're alive is another chance to change
HEY MAMA

Better

Much was given much is expected
So make mistakes then learn from your lessons
Know for sure that you're not alone
Yes others call this universe home
Well a blue rock and a sharp mind
Combine for a lifetime
What the hell did you think it was for?
You should be doing better by now
You could be doing better by now
You should be doing better by now
Don't you know that every heaven was an earth once upon a time?
I didn't know but I know now....
Yes you've done well just to get here
But nowhere near fulfilling your potential
Instead you're headed for Armageddon
So call this your divine intervention
Well a blue rock and a sharp mind
Combine for a lifetime
What the hell did you think it was for?
You should be doing better by now
You could be doing better by now
You should be doing better by now
Don't you know that every heaven was an earth once upon a time?
