Wasn't lookin for a villain but I think I found one Partner in crime to fence my heart and hold me up with Cupid's handgun Been thriftin words in hope that I might find an appropriate expression You've gifted verse and melody in form of joy and inspiration Lookin back, was it ever a question? If I stay the track, does that make you the exception? Would you hold my hand, together learn life's lessons? If I make you laugh, is that not the point of creation? Stayin busy stayin focused and I la la la along Then my old lady swoop me up and force me to write this song Most other men would shy away from vigilance of higher ground I let my heart give chase and my ball and chain was never found

Irrelevance 03:22
I feel irrelevant in every aspect of my life Never wanted answers as much as I needed closure A desperation move, I threw my chips on an all-in When heart and soul lose focus and drift to full disclosure Never wanted comfort, merely needed contact There goes the content spirit I'm never gonna get back Validation for the countless hours that I've spent Hunched over empty canvas, working to be relevant Whoever had a clue that making it would be so hard? Without ample work ethic, you'll never get that green card I'm feeling like I'm lost at sea Just wandering so aimlessly Step back to watch this scenery unfold
3.
Occupy This 03:39
I was raised in a country where the rich consume the poor A life of disparity You watch and wonder, "Could I ever change anything?" So you sit back and listen as the strong weed out the meek Without the funds, you'll never fix anything What is your purpose? A world where I am proud to bear young, not this place We dream of a better world, a place where we can find peace We know the difference between insanity and trying to plead a case We're told the melody was ringing false before, until it starts ringing true again One old skeleton key will never open doors to a better life just around the bend So many people will discover that the wolves don't cover well They'll eat your income, your hopes and desires It isn't science, they reap everything for themselves And call it progress We dream of a better world, a place where we can find peace We know the difference between insanity and trying to plead a case We're told the melody was ringing false before, until it starts ringing true again One old skeleton key will never open doors to a better life just around the bend If you never look around, you'll never see What's really going down with you and me

Lockbox 03:58
We've all got our hobbies, mine's playing guitar I love playing rugby, but that won't get me far I can't pay my bills if my limbs all get broke I need health insurance, but I drink and I smoke I hope I'm alive to see the day The pleasure that I find in such tiny things It's part of the reason that I dance when I sings Can't argue with loving me everyday life I spend all my spare time enjoying no strife I hope I'm alive to see the day I just can't bother asking for a helping hand I'll be okay on my own Own, own, help me
5.
If I were out there, giving up my life For those who don't care, I'd say it's not right We're fighting false wars, extremist soundbites For fat old rich bores sending (soldiers) to die One death is a tragedy, one million's a statistic It's all a comedy of epic proportions The unknown thousands we'll never mourn for The ones we did send return from horror The scars which they bear so we can live free The feds just don't care about our civil liberties One death is a tragedy, one million's a statistic It's all a comedy of epic proportions Restore the fourth (Give me back my rights) Don't make us mourn (An empty sacrifice) The military spending is out of control The troops they're sending to scatter the whole Martial law declared, combatant citizenry I would be more scared, but it don't affect me
