it's a sentimental breakdown... she yells "you don't own me" she's sweet like razors under your skin this is proof how bad it can be when you agree to go back to her again it's a sentimental breakdown she'll use what she got to get what she wants she's already got enough money that's not the reason why she keeps you around it's because she thinks it's funny you always let her kick you down (and then skip town) it's a sentimental breakdown she'll use what she got to get what she wants you say "happiness is over-rated" she agrees with your view on life she makes sure that you're negated you're sedated, berated, and desecrated every night it's a sentimental breakdown she'll use what she got to get what she wants gotta take two so i won't wake up she'll use what she got to get what she wants from me

walking down streets unpaved wondering what i would say extend myself disbelieving go through this everyday spend my ways iconoclasting gotta be contrasting, uncontrolled don't care for everlasting if i'm to be - contracting - not too consoled i don't care what your thinking, i don't care what your drinking live alone this trust descending, such a beautiful disgrace walk into your parlor unto my certain surprise cannot take any of said dollar because it's from who i despise lift me up - want to save me? malfunctioned praise for lack of self-control reach deep into pockets for gravy economy - destination foreclosed now take this dream where good people go (silence) depends of what one's got inside i can't understand what you want me to show give me the chance to be the one you can confide in exit chapel of disgracing into the hell-bent world outside no sense of your heart replacing leave it alone to decide let them spend rose- thorned days of wining frequent ways of so-called self control behind closed doors - source of pining summoning those 3-4 times mortgaged souls
6.	Lost Along The Way 05:01	lyrics	buy track
i felt so seedy that you were needy and then you got greedy but that's the price one pays we burned out quickly but not so brightly slightly unsightly i can laugh about it today there's a name that goes along with this story but i won't speak those hidden words today there's a face that i forget, i choose not to remember she got lost along the way at the conclusion there was some confusion your hasty solution made sure you ended clean i think its so funny that with all of your money and a smile like honey you can treat yourself so mean remember the time i went out that night I came home in tears and we had a big fight? Was that the beginning of the end? cause once i stopped being your strongest man that's when you came up with a new plan i could not contend with your old "new best friend"
7.	No Time For Tea 03:20	lyrics	buy track
debutantes and smiling faces that rich and famous feel porcelain skin of hellenic persuasion a modern flapper for all men to see her lips around a peach martini a flower in her hair a glance into her smiling face you wouldn't know that she doesn't care she spends time in foreign places no time for tea - reality hangover she spends timeless moments pacing 'round through her heart looking for answers to love gillespie blaring from the speakers (or is it mambo number five?) she knows it's faux sophistication but she plays the part that she's calling her life she dances with the faceless penguins staring deeply into their eyes hinting long nights of heated passion then she drops them for the next guy in line another club, another drink five hundred more fake lines delivered with utmost sincerity leaving men thinking that they've found their wife the dancing's over, the music's stopped "what do we do now?" she sighs she picks her "lucky" homme-du-jour and falls asleep after physical lies

9.	Stick It To The Man 03:30	lyrics	buy track
it starts the day that you're born when he slaps you on your back it ends the day that you die and it's too late to attack "the man" is the man who holds you down or the woman who makes you pay so don't always let them get away with it you can change your life today there will come a day when you will be afraid that you aren't doing everything you can there will come a day when you will feel betrayed you never tempted fate and now it's way too late because you never stick it to the man it was "the man" who made you eat your peas when you were only nine and "the man" is the man is who signs your checks while you slave on the production line you've seen him, heard him, you mowed his lawn he busted you when you stayed out a little too long if you've never been paranoid then tonight's the night 'cause he's been sticking you for your entire life you shouldn't worry about how to do it it comes easy after time pretend it's your job to get even with the world and then you'll do just fine steal some gum, cheat on your taxes go to work early and send personal faxes take two papers when you only pay for one getting back at "the man" can be pretty fun

i'd like to play a game where i can make believe go back in time and undo evil deeds i know what your sayin' daydreamers can't fight fate but i believe in positive thought the good it can create think about what i could have said friends think i'm crazy my girl thinks i'm insane they all think that i've taken evil thoughts for evil gain i know what your sayin' rumors of disbelief don't understand the nasty things that you cannot conceive think about what i could have said i'd like to play a game where i could take the lead reversal of decline starting with the seed i know what your sayin' daydream regurgitate make a meal of my minced words what good it can create think about what i could have said
