Compassion

We gotta make compassion cool again
put an end to all this suffering
we could stop rewarding bullying
and make compassion cool again
what's wrong with empathy
having a heart doesn't make me weak
it's ok to be a human
it's what we'd want for our children
there's nothing wrong with empathy
what's wrong with empathy
having a heart wouldn't make you weak
don't be a bully or a sadist
or lock little kids up in cages
there's nothing wrong with empathy
we gotta make compassion cool again
put an end to all this suffering
we could stop rewarding bullying
and make compassion cool again
we're gonna make compassion cool again
we'll start by doing a little bit of strumming
and a little bit of singing
we're gonna make compassion cool again

I'll give you everything
that I don't have
I'll take out a loan for your love
what is the interest rate
to me anyway
I don't really care I'm in love
you name a number and I'll pay it twice
I'll write a check just show me where to sign
cause this is what money is for
love
cause this is what money is for
love
I'll give you everything
that I don't have
I'll borrow and steal for your love
and I'll get you to fall under false pretenses
just like a movie we're in love
in love in love
and this is what money is for
LOVE
oh this is what money is for
LOVE
oh this is what money is for
LOVE
this is what money is
this is what money is for
LOVE
GO SPEND IT
money is for
LOVE
this is what
money is for
LOVE

The Artist And The Ego
02:36
|

the artist and the ego
both went out to brunch
the artist couldn't afford it
but the ego said you deserve this
and the artist knew that brunch was a thing
created for office workers
or trust fund kids or college students
pretending to be trust fund kids
but the ego knew that the Artis
was better than all of them
so he ordered the table mimosas
just to put down all his friends
the artist and the ego
ahh ahh ahh ahh ahhhhh
the artist and the ego
ahh ahh ahh ahh ahhhhh
and the artist told the ego
that was a shitty thing to do
asked him politely to leave the table
was left sitting there confused
and suddenly surrounded by
honest working people
the artist hung his head in shame
and stabbed his poached egg
the artist and the ego
ahh ahh ahh ahh ahhhhh
the artist and the ego
ahh ahh ahh ahh ahhhhh
the artist and the ego
ahh ahh ahh ahh ahhhhh
the artist and the ego
ahh ahh ahh ahh ahhhhh

Safeway Saturday Night
02:57
|
|||
I was at safeway over on the west side
it was getting late on a saturday night
up and down every aisle everyone I walked by
it could have been me but
everybody seemed high
and they were holding hands
staring at all the cans
staring down fish sticks in the frozen foods
making sure that they're dead
making sure they don't move
carts full of pizzas and carts full of booze
it could have been me but
everybody seemed high
but you could feel the love
produce section backrubs
safeway saturday night
ten people deep and only one checkout line
no one seems angry everything is just fine
this might take all night but nobody minds
this isn't just me cuz
everyone's high
public displays of affection
in the bulk food section
Safeway Saturday night
oh everyone's high
exchanging knowing smiles
in the cereal aisle
safeway saturday night

French Canada
01:48
|
|||
I get a little bit more nervous than usual
when I play solo in French Canada
I can't speak French
it's a bit of a monkey wrench
I lean too heavy on my setups and jokes
I get a little bit more nervous than usual
when I play solo in French Canada
I can't speak French
it's a bit of a monkey wrench
I get afraid of my melodies and notes
someone told me once that notes can't be wrong
they're all just poor choices
and I make poor choices
and someone told me once
that nervousness is the universal language
and we get over our fears
by staring them in the face
and that's why I'm here in this beautiful place
I get a little bit more nervous than usual
when I play solo in French Canada
I can't speak French
it's a bit of a monkey wrench
I lean too heavy on my setups and jokes
I get a little bit more nervous than usual
when I play solo in French Canada
I can't speak French
it's a bit of a monkey wrench
I get afraid of my melodies and notes
I'm so afraid of my melodies and notes
I lean too heavy on my setups and jokes

Monkeys In The Park
02:05
|
|||
well it was like a scene out of a horrible movie
when the bouncer followed that kid down the alley
and when he walked back he was holding back laughter
and shaking off the sting of his new boxer's fracture
the monkeys in the park were sitting around eating leaves
picking bugs off of each other and climbing in trees
and when one got agitated he started to scream
but it was over in seconds and it ended in peace
do you get sick to your stomach
like you ate something toxic
when a fist hits a face
and the face changes shape
cause I get sick to my stomach
like I ate something toxic
when a fist hits a face

Resist

they're only trying to get reactions
they could stay positive
but the negative is so much easier
they're only trying to get reactions
they could stay positive
but the negative is so much easier
to get a click
it's just the path of least resistance
they're only trying to get reactions
they could stay positive
but the negative is so much easier
to get their click
so they can sell their shit
and we're all buying it
don't click on his face
he's just selling you a car
don't click on his racist words
he's not really keeping you informed
they're only trying to get reactions
they could stay positive
but the negative is so much easier
to get a click
it's just the path of least resistance
they're only trying to get reactions
they could stay positive
but the negative is so much easier
to get their click
so they can sell their shit
and we're still buying it
don't click on his face
he's just selling you a car
don't click on his racist words
he's not really keeping you informed
don't do it
they're only trying to get reactions
they could stay positive
but the negative is so much easier
to get a click
it's just the path of least resistance
resist

I can't Strum
02:02
|
|||
I can't strum and I can't sing
and I'm no good at anything
I'm not too quick and not too smart
and I give up before I start
and I bite off more than I can chew
no one's ever seen me follow through
Know I've got some things to prove
and I'll never work it all out for you
and you float through things easily
like summer wind slips through the trees
while I try hard just to concentrate and breathe
some people live just day to day
but I can't plan more than an hour away
I stumble from mistake to mistake
and there's got to be a better way
and you glide through life gracefully
you've sidestepped my mumbling tragedy
while I try hard just to concentrate and breathe
this is no ordinary
this is no ordinary
breathe
this is no ordinary
this is no ordinary
meltdown meltdown
I can't walk without falling down
I can't spit words out if they're not written down
I'm awkward and self centered
and I'm not the brightest bulb in town

Ammo Shop
01:44
|
|||
and the trees were the color of fruity pebbles
as I walked along the road
dodging diapers and beer bottles
and the old men in the ammo shop
glared at me over their readers
and if I could read their minds
I bet their words would be
oh man we'll never ever sell this nerd a gun

You Are Depressed
02:23
|
|||
well I know that you're depressed
and you're trying your best
and I know that life can be hard on a person
but don't give up
because I know
somehow
things will get better than they feel right now
because this isn't forever
nothing lasts forever
this is not forever
it's not forever
this is not forever
nothing lasts forever
it's not forever
this is not forever...
