Uncle Sam
I am the plan, I am the man
Who tells you what and when you can
I'm the old one that torments you
I am the voice that tells you to
Don't get caught with your fingers in my pie
Mess with me boy you're surely gonna' die
If ever you're in doubt about who or where I am
I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere
I am your Uncle Sam
Electric Uncle Sam
You beg me please on bended knees
Not to sit among these enemies
If you feel like you wanna dance
Then step aside and take a chance
Don't get caught with your fingers in my pie
Mess with me boy you're surely gonna' die
If ever you're in doubt about who or where I am
I'm here, I'm there, I'm everywhere
I am your Uncle Sam

Natural Joe
There's a boy out 'Luma way
Named Joe Eugene
He's one mellow ass son of a bitch-a
He loves his wheat grass
And cold bean curd
He's one healthy ass son of a bitch-a
But late at night
He sneaks on down to the liquor store
For a bottle of sheep dip
Natural Joe
Got an easy flow
Wherever he goes
They say "Here comes Joe"
Joe he's a happy man
And he won't do you wrong
He's one respectable son of a bitch-a
Now Joe ain't no patriarch
But he's smooth with the girls
He ain't no chauvinistic son of a bitch-a
But late at night
He sneaks on down to the porno store
For a little bit of ....
Natural Joe
He's hangin' low
Wherever he goes
They say "here comes Joe"
There's a boy out 'Luma way
Named Joe Eugene
He's one mellow ass son of a bitch-a
He don't like firearms
He don't own knives
He's one pacifistic son of a bitch-a
But late at night
He eases on down to the video store
For a little bit of ....
Natural Joe
Got an easy flow
Wherever he goes
They say "Here comes Joe"
Natural Joe
Lookin slow and low
Look there he goes
Go Natural Joe

Lacquer Head
Sometimes bored sometimes lonely
Pimple faced and rather homely
He wasn't much for socializin'
The TV kept a mesmerizin'
In one ear and out the other
Picked up a trick from his older brother
Got him a can of sniffin' sauce
Pinned his mind upon the cross
Lacquer Head knows but one desire
Lacquer Head sets his skull on fire
Lacquer Head knows no in betweens
Huffin' on bags of gasoline
Sniffin' paint since the seventh grade
She was high on gin and Gatorade
On turpentine she lost her luck
Fell in front of a speeding pick-up truck
He was a boy of soft demeanor
And he loved his carburetor cleaner
The vapor made a sweet aroma
He sniffed himself into a coma
Lacquer Head feeds his one desire
Lacquer Head sets his brain on fire
Lacquer Head knows no in betweens
Huffin' on bags of gasoline
Keep on sniffin' till yer brain goes pop

The Antipop
The earth it did crack open
On the day that I was born
And a thousand merry pranksters
Came dancin' through the storm
I lay cradle bound
A howlin' out my wind
Not knowin' years to come
I'd be shoutin' over din
I sucked information through the holes in my skull
As my belly gurgles hungry my mouth is always full
I am Antipop I'll run against the grain till the day I drop
I am the Antipop The man you cannot stop
As a young man
I plug into the tube
But the stench of all that pretense
I can not muddle through
I lay on my back
And scan the radio
All that comes out of my speakers
Is a steady syrup flow
I suck information thorough the holes in my skull
As my belly gurgles hungry my mouth is always full
I am Antipop I'll run against the grain till the day I drop
I am the Antipop The man you cannot stop
I stood by watching
And I seen 'em come and go
I seen 'em make that million
Then vanish in the snow
They come upon you
Like a pack of rabid hounds
As they slobber in your ears
And purge you with their sounds
Pushing misinformation through the holes in my skull
My belly gurgles nauseous and still my mouth is full
I am AntipopI'll run against the grain till the day I drop
I am the Antipop The man you will not stop

Part I
Blinded By The Sun
Bring me back again
I'd really rather not be out here on my own
Someone reel me in
I'm drifting ever farther from my home
I remember when I was a baby
Gazing in amazement at the sky
Sing it twinkle twinkle little baby
Daddy's gonna learn you to fly
High
Like a comet through the sky
Bring me back again
I'd really rather not be out here on my own
I'm drifting with the wind
Trying to hold the course that I've been shown
I remember when I was a baby
Staring in amazement at the sun
Better shield your eyes now little baby
No one ever said you were the one
No one ever said you were the one
Who can't be blinded by the sun
I think I'm blinded by the sun
Part II
Sanity Is Coming To Town
I like to taunt
I like to tease
I'll bring your psyche to its knees
Juggling
Sanity is coming to your town
Who gives a damn what you say
You're pissing all your dreams away
Juggling
Sanity is coming to your town
Part III
Pressing Onward Towards The Light
Pressing onward through the night
Pressing onward towards the light

Greet The Sacred Cow
Slice me up a big slab
Of that sympathetic cheer
If I'm zapped with radiation
They say I'll last another year
Line 'em up now
To greet the sacred cow
My hands are full of protein
My arms are made of fire
If you're calling me a diplomat
I'll be calling you a liar
Line 'em up now
To greet the sacred cow
Line 'em up now
To kill the sacred cow

Mama Didn't Raise
No Fool
The best of times the worst of times
The times you can't ignore
Sometimes you bite the bullet
And flip flop on the floor
They tell you where to go
They tell you what to do
They set your face on fire
Then stomp it out with their shoes
I ain't no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
The times I can't complain
Are the times I do the most
On a diet of black coffee
And prozac buttered toast
These eunuchs in their prada
And Gucci flavored clothes
Wouldn't know a fresh perspective
If it bit 'em up on the nose
I ain't no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool
Don't do as they say
Just say as they do
No flavor's quite so bitter
As the taste of one's own shoes
I ain't no fool
Mama didn't raise no fool.

Dirty Drowning Man
I'm a dog
A dirty flying dog
I drink Campari
With marinated wild hog
I've no sense
I lick electric fence
I put barbed wire in my pants
And do a Celtic dance
But when I can
I am a giving man
I'll flip you out the fire
And back up into the frying pan
And if you're down
Looking like you're gonna drown
Of all your friends I'm the one
Who's most apt to stick around
I'm a drowning man
Who will save this drowning man
Who will save this drowning man
Who will save this dirty drowning man
You're so fine
So bright and shiney fine
And I'm so proud to say
That you in fact are a friend of mine
And doubly pleased
With crooked wobbly knees
I dive on in and backstroke right
Across these seas of cheese
But on the times
When I'm not such a giving man
Please flip me out the fire
And back up into the frying pan
And if you're down
Looking like you're gonna drown
Of all your friends I'm the one
Who's most apt to stick around
I'm a drowning man
Who will save this drowning man
Who will save this drowning man
Who will save this dirty drowning man

Ballad Of Bodacious
Bodacious am a whole lotta' bull
Over nineteen hundred pounds
He's born in Galtry Oklahoma
And he's the baddest sonsabitch around
If a Burma bull ever were a super star
Then Bodacious just might be
He's a cream colored, beefy brawn,
Full-fledged, four footed bovine celebrity
Who's gonna ride Bodacious
Who's gonna tame him down
Look out for Bodacious
He's bound to hold his ground
Here come Bodacious
Ya'll just step aside
Big and bad Bodacious
Takes a toll from those who ride
Young Bo met a man named Tuff Hedeman
At the start of his buckin' spree
And Tuff became one of the few to make the whistle
Back in nineteen ninety three
Tuff tried to ride Bo again at the finals
In nineteen ninety five
Bodacious had got a little older and wiser
Tuff barely came out alive

Power Mad
Military show is blastin' off to Kosovo
Military show with lightnin' speed
Sensitivity? Oh, just a rusty nail in the corporate show
How many stabs before we bleed?
Those pinocchios chattering out in stereo
Boy pinocchio and his golden deed
Masculinity? Oh, galvanized in the world wide show
As we fertilize the seed
Power mad, I didn't chop the tree down dad
I only try to do what's right
Power mad, the best friend you ever had
Unless of course you choose to fight
Power mad driving out of the shadows
He never tires when he plays
Power mad he's a streak in the night time
Speculating how he'll take on the world some day
Originality? Oh, just a rusty nail in a broadway show
How many stabs before we succeed
Power mad, I didn't drop my pants down dad
I know my left hand from my right
Power mad, the best friend that you ever had
Unless of course you lose the fight

The Final
Voyage Of The Liquid Sky
I been fightin' gravity since I was two
Questers of the prize
Blind men in the snow
Some streak the skies
I choose to go below
Skin moves towards malignant
Worshipping the sun
They clamber over corpses
To be the chosen ones
Drift along liquid sky
Descending through the darkness
To the vast terrain
Down here on the bottom
You rarely hear the rain
Drift along liquid sky

Coattails Of A Dead
Man
He wasn't Lookin' for fanfare or fame
But it all came around just the same
He then met a girl with desire in her eye
He gave her love, she took his name
The times they were good, the times they were bad
Most times it was just in between
The hard pill he swallowed was the times that they had
She put on display for all to be seen
Some find their solace in work or the lord
She was quite content in her dream
When his eyes they burned from the bright lime light
He found comfort in the bottle of ol' Jimmy Bean
One day from the depths of his deep darkened hole
He reached out for somethin' to feel
She offered back nothin' but lack of respect
So he let himself out with two barrels of steel
She cried in the day she cried in the night
She cried loudest when someone was near
Whether crying for him or she cried for herself
The bigger the camera the bigger the tear
Most folks agree she was living a hell
And publicly she showed her pain
And never once was there a thought for herself
And the ever growing slices of fortune and fame
Now on the coattails of a dead man she'll ride
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride she'll ride
On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride she'll ride high
