Heartbeat Survival-
oh excuses run
over hills from coast to coast through everyone
and oh how they fly
through the sky over clouds into the sun
in the food we eat in the air we breathe
every thought overwhelmed and undone
heartbeat survival
if we could turn our backs
on the past and not just tread in the same tracks
and oh to just let go
of all false hopes for the future and watch the show
we could be in the moment
with our eyes wide open every thought a beautiful surprise
heartbeat survival

Completely True
you and I
completely
I'll be what you need me to be
oh you and I
completely true
you and I
sweetly
I'll see what you need me to see
oh you and I
completely true
well i've crunched the numbers and done the math
and i've calculated a perfect match
and against all odds it's true
it's you
and when we get stuck on the small stuff
you sit me down and start talking tough
but your tenderness breaks through breaks through
breaks through

Melbourne 2
Melbourne is so far away from the rest of the world
but the rest of the world just comes to you
with wombats kookaburras kangaroos
the rest of the world just comes to you
from the tourists down in federation square
to the punk rockers rocking their spiky hair
people of every color every flavor of food
oh the rest of the world just comes to you
it's a Melbourne day off
from the fancy cafes where rich people eat
to Victoria market where I bought some sweets
where the trams are rolling through the middle of the street
and it all goes down not far from the beach
it's a Melbourne day off

Speedbump
when she skates
in sloppy
figure eights
my heart just dies
she closes her eyes
the wind it blows and she just smiles
did you feel my heart pump
when you jumped
the speedbump
I held onto your hand
you said is it safe to wear your
skates into the movie place and
he said it's OK
if you just hold on
to his hand
she can't feel
I'm torn up like
orange peels
her pants fit tight
I watch her roll by
how could she know what's on my mind
but how was he supposed to know
that you're in the process of letting go
you stayed outside
I went in alone
rented the movie
and we skated home
I held your hand for the movie man
he said hold onto that girl
I said I'm trying trying trying
did you feel my heart pump
when you jumped the speedubump
I held you onto your hand
you said is it safe to wear your
skates into
the movie place and my
heart pumped
when you jumped
the speedbump
I held onto your hand

Raw Fish
why would you go
all the way
to Japan to play a show
he said I heard they eat raw fish
just the thought of it makes him sick
but all the clubs have microphones
and people come out to the shows
why do you fear what you don't know
my god my gun my BBQ
don't you have better things to do
he said I thank god every day
that I was born in the USA
where 9 of 10 are overweight
and people get shot every day
god bless the US of A
construction workers flashing lights
turned into robots last night
we walked all over Tokyo searching for a big hoho
one just as big as Mike Park's head
what makes you think Japan's so bad
KKK Highway
did you know that the KKK adopted a highway
just a few miles away from my mom's house
they paid their money and they put up a sign
I guess they dress up in sheets and go pick up the trash
the trash, the trash, they pick up the trash
the trash, the trash, they pick up the trash
they should know it when they see it
they get a good look every day in the mirror
they get a good look every day in the mirror

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 don't make me week
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
and 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 lilt bit of strumming
a little bit of singing
we're gonna make compassion cool again
