I wake up to the news every morning I take a shower, cut myself shaving Then I go to work like all the other workers I think one day I might just go beserkers I can't make sense of it nobody gives a shit maybe it's time to give up This is my anti-everything song no stadium anthem, no chorus singalong this is my anti-everything song I hope you like it I hate real-i-TV and politics too religion and musicians to just name a few I could go on and on forever endlessly until there's nothing left except little old me This only sucks a little the jury gave acquittal but I still have to pay the fine This is my anti-everything song No dance floor explosion, no download #1 this is my anti-everything song Tell me you like it I've got one word for everything: No No No No Anti-everything song so it goes and so it goes Anti-everything song

I picked a little town in Iowa and didn't stop to pack the bags I drove the back roads out of Fayetteville to leave a husband in Fort Bragg I didn't ever use a credit card but I could've used a bodyguard A little evil goes a long way and I can say I've had my share the day I met him was the wrong day a little evil goes a long way it goes a long way There was a diner where I got a job but the boss was such a bitch He told me that I'd have to sleep with him otherwise he'd have to snitch I told him he could take a flying leap or just go and find some friendly sheep A little evil goes a long way and I was on the run again and I'll be running every damn day until I shed this skin A little evil goes a long way it goes a long way I can't play the victim anymore ain't no way to live A little evil goes a long way and it was time to spread the sin So I loosened up his wheels and let him chase me again As I watched him crash and burn it was so easy to say A little evil goes a long way it goes a long way it goes a long way it goes a long way

The snow is fallin' like teardrops tonight the temperature has dropped off the chart And I picture a Tennessee moon as bright as the glow of a soft, Southern heart And now this Greyhound is taking me there to a place somewhere south of the Jersey state line They call me a Stranger in Dixie and I can't deny, been living a lie I'd rather be stranger in Dixie than somewhere so cold the hearts don't thaw in July A life so full of mistakes and pride I've never been able to shed Tonight I'm going to leave it behind and start looking forward instead And now I've packed up and said my goodbyes As these storm clouds head north I'll pass 'em on by They call me a Stranger in Dixie and I can't deny, been living a lie I'd rather be stranger in Dixie than somewhere so cold the hearts don't thaw in July I dreamt about glories past and summer days dying off too fast I always knew I'd come here last so I could be buried under bluegrass And now this Greyhound is taking me there to a place somewhere south of the Jersey state line They call me a Stranger in Dixie and I can't deny, been living a lie I'd rather be stranger in Dixie than somewhere so cold the hearts don't thaw in July somewhere so cold the hearts don't thaw in July

You been whistlin' Dixie long enough I'm gonna change that tune I'll show you notes you ain't never heard but you'll be singin' 'em soon I'll just take that there termometer and blow it into little bits Cause if ya can't take the heat don't stand in the kitchen Hours pass like minutes honey and minutes feel like days It's taken me months to get one little kiss ain't got no time to waste If I wanted ice I'd go to the freezer instead of your fingertips Cause if ya can't take the heat don't stand in the kitchen Don't stand in the kitchen Don't stand in the kitchen Ready or not, here I come, ya better not turn & run Don't stand in the kitchen If your June is hot, I'll give you July and toss in August for free You'll be sweatin' buckets of icicles at just one little look from me So hold your excuses and 'not tonights' I'm just not buyin' it Cause if ya can't take the heat don't stand in the kitchen Don't stand in the kitchen Don't stand in the kitchen Ready or not, here I come, ya better not turn & run I've been up and down this road before On your way out, please don't slam the door We've been dancin' a cool slow one babe, it's time for callin' it quits Cause if ya can't take the heat don't stand in the kitchen Don't stand in the kitchen Don't stand in the kitchen Ready or not, here I come Don't stand in the kitchen Don't stand in the kitchen Ready or not, here I come, ya better not turn & run Please don't stand in the kitchen Please don't stand in the kitchen

It was raining on the Interstate today and my vision was filled with gray I cradled the wheel with pen in hand to write you this letter again Cause the brakes don't work, like they used to and the engine runs on it's own State highway 60 -- one lane each way and I'm fightin' the wind and rain From St. James to 'Kato I can't think of a word you haven't already heard already heard Cause the brakes don't work, like they used to and the engine runs on it's own And I may be sittin' in the driver's seat but I can't seem to find my way home Blew a tire just out of Fairbault it's just as well though guess I ain't comin' home just lettin' you know Cause the brakes don't work, like they used to and the engine runs on it's own And I may be sittin' in the driver's seat but I can't seem to find can't seem to find can't seem to find my way home

I left home to save myself a useless marriage is what I gave myself Bitter days and nights of tears that I let turn into all these years I don't wanna hear what you been sayin' or know what you been doin' I just wanna love you the thoughts that you been thinkin' the whiskey you been drinkin' I just wanna love you A glass of wine becomes a bottle becomes another broken window The liquor the lies and everything between gone but not forgotten like a dream I don't wanna hear what you been sayin' or know what you been doin' I just wanna love you the thoughts that you been thinkin' the whiskey you been drinkin' I just wanna love you If ya take another minute baby that's too long I just wanna love you I don't wanna hear what you been sayin' or know what you been doin' I just wanna love you the thoughts that you been thinkin' the whiskey you been drinkin' I just wanna love you I can't stand another stupid reason it might as well be treason I just wanna love you If ya take another minute baby that's too long I just wanna love you I just wanna love you I just wanna love you

Thunderhead 04:47
I was born a wispy mist jealous of the cumulus hoping that someday instead I'd become a Thunderhead Passing by on heaven's breath for a cloud there is no death shedding tears on fools earthbound how they fear my every sound When you begin your life in the middle of a heat exchange any little pressure drop is likely to enrage you You must be a cloud You must be a cloud When I turn from white to gray something dark is on it's way see the sky burst into tears see why I deserve your fear When you begin your life in the middle of a heat exchange any little pressure drop is likely to enrage you You must be a cloud Clear blue sky no prevailing wind and where am I? Lost in space again When you begin your life in the middle of a heat exchange any little pressure drop is likely to enrage you You must be a cloud When you begin your life in the middle of a heat exchange any little pressure drop is likely to enrage you it's likely to enrage you it's likely to enrage you

There was snow on the ground the day you split and the wind blew around like an argument I followed up your tracks to the frozen lake and I prayed you'd be there for your own sake How long have you been gone? I don't know But I can't get myself out of this bed and I can't get your words out of my head I can't find a way to a fresh start until I get you out of my heart out of my heart All my friends did their best to cheer me up but a bottle of Jack wasn't near enough and I pity (not "pretty") every single woman who came after you There ain't no talkin' sense to this shipwreck dude How long 'til you are gone? I don't know no no no But I can't get to sleep without being numb and I can't start the day without Coke & rum I can't write myself into a new part until I get you out of my heart out of my heart out of my heart out of my heart [bridge] How long 'til I am gone? I don't know-- I just don't know I can't get myself out of this bed and I can't get your words out of my head I can't find a way to a fresh start until I get you out of my heart I can't get to sleep without being numb and I can't start the day without Coke & rum I can't write myself into a new part until I get you out of my heart out of my heart out of my heart out of my heart out of my heart out of my heart

She's a face somewhere out there a state of grace for those who dream sex and race - a woman named Sojourner love and passion speak Born into a separate nation black and tall a woman too she refused to crawl into emancipation her ideas grew Red hot rivet of Truth she's a red hot rivet of Truth She's a child, she's a mother she's a life of spirituality and when she says Ain't I a woman?, who can disagree? Red hot rivet of Truth she's a red hot rivet of Truth when it comes over you it's a red hot rivet of Truth She's no ordinary no imaginary Truth Truth...... she's a red hot rivet of Truth when it comes over you it's a red hot rivet of Truth a red hot rivet of Truth when it comes over you it's a red hot rivet of Truth

Unconscious 04:52
Sun comes up sun goes down like a million times before in this unconscious town And I stand where I stood as if the act of waiting can do me any good I'm standing at the altar I'm begging for redemption I'm living in the past and future tense A man without religion or sensory perception and why you left I can't begin to guess You said laugh you said cry you said live inside the moment and die before you die But my past imprisons me and my fear about the future that can never set me free Sleeping on the sidewalk dreaming of forgiveness and waking up to nothing but regret time is an illusion and pain is it's companion clocks and calendars a constant threat Lightning strikes surrounded by thunder I'm alone in the rain Memories pulling me under I'm unconscious again Sun comes up sun goes down like a million times before in this unconscious town Standing at the altar begging for redemption living in the past and future tense A man without religion or sensory perception and why you left I can't begin to guess A man without religion or sensory perception and why you left I can't begin to guess
