4:20
4:20 it's the start of my day
a little somethin' somethin' gets me on my way
stop talkin' you got nothin' to say
good mornin' america not today and me
i can't be bothered cause i'm walkin' the dog
gonna show me how to put that green dress on
doesn't matter if you think that i'm wrong
this is my life, my song and
it seems, you might know what i mean
when i say, oh i saw it all in a dream
there was you, me, and a glass of wine
the truth - and 4:20 all of the time
$40 and a good idea
don't worry darlin' gonna get you oughta here
you're with the captain you got nothin' to fear
don't grab that helm unless you wanna steer
and now i'm makin' money like i fall off a log
somebody help me gotta shoot this nasty dog
a little hazy as i come through the fog
but my mind is intact and i'm movin' on and
it seems, you might know what i mean
when i say, oh i saw it all in a dream
there was you, me, and a glass of wine
the truth - and 4:20 all of the time

Finite Land
Can you spare some time for me
Cause I've roamed around the world enough to see
twisted lies and broken dreams
I'll tell you right now friend - that this place is not what it seems....
And yes I've seen the Demon
heard the evil screaming in the night
Now I'm trodding through darkness
hoping that someday I'll get it right... right...
If you want to know what's real?
Then Trust in what you see - not what you feel
Watch the kids fight for their meals
then sit, watch your uncle make (all of his) shady deals...
Now I'm Sorry about the future
and I'm Sorry about the way shit has to be
But we're running out of chances
So I'll take another chance that you might see...
That, Sure as the sun will rise and the earth filled w/ sand
Your time is right now - don't let it slip through your hands
sure you can close your eyes and pretend you don't understand
That time is so fleeting down here in ...finiteland
In your heart there lies a key
You can know the truth - the truth can make you free
So don't ever lie to me
Cause I'll see your true colors - and know your not my destiny..
Now I'm Sorry about the future
and I'm Sorry about the way shit has to be
But we're running out of chances
So I'll take another chance that you might see...
That, Sure as the sun will rise and the earth filled w/ sand
Your time is right now - don't let it slip through your hands
sure you can close your eyes and pretend you don't understand
That time is so fleeting down here in ...finiteland

Pick Up the Phone
Break the silence
I've seen this face a million times
another dial tone
your food is gettin' cold
and i'm here alone
Verse 2 Blind defiance
I thought you'd change as the years went by
can you tell me why
even though I've tried
I can't read your mind...
Chorus How much longer will it take you
to break the chains that make you
sit there with that vacant stare
and make you think i'd hate you
if you'd tell me so
I'd really like to know
Pick up the phone
I know i can help you
I need you to pick up the phone
verse 3 Bare your secrets
I want to meet the one inside
won't you let me in
I don't care where you've been
can't you hear the phone?
verse 4 I'm playin for keeps here
and i hope and pray night after night
that you'll hold the line
working overtime
can you hear the phone?...
Chorus
and you think that all this yellin'
is gonna make me hear you better
*no better*
who told you to face
all your fears on your own?
seems to me - we could be runnin together
look at me - pretty plain to see
i can get you out of here alive
i can set you free
Solo
Chorus x2

PISSED
How ya'll doin' here
Let me make this clear
I've got somethin' that I need to mention
find the words that best
Get this off my chest
Let loose some of this tension
If you ain't pissed you ain't payin' attention
Brother if you think this is cool - you better look again
Cause the Man will have your heads for your dissention
Brother, if you ain't pissed... (you ain't payin')
if you ain't pissed... (you ain't payin')
if you ain't pissed... You ain't payin attention
watch the government
see how the money's spent
and I question their intentions
cause there ain't shit on mars
that's gonna feed the starved
or shore up all your pensions
Chorus
but the sweet and lazy life
keeps them trapped in the sorrow
no hope for tomorrow
I'll tell you man we still got time...
are you payin attention?
Solo
Chorus - outro

The River's Edge
Near the river's edge
I can hear decision callin' me
Oh, she knows my name
should I take the bridge?
or should I dive into the dark and deep?
she says "hey Dave it's your game"
in the end you die anyway...
I got nothin' to say tonight
gotta feelin' that just ain't right
I.... told you so
I'm feelin' low
can't take many more
I'm goin' down
Did you make the pledge?
Did they make you sign the dotted line?
Oh, did you say, "i do?"
you better look again
'cause it seems to me your markin' time
Oh, don't let 'em change you
they wouldn't help if you asked them to
Chorus
Out on easy street,
who did you expect to meet?
Did you really think that they'd let you in?
let 'em play their silly games...
let 'em throw their pawns away
let them say what they will
it's still the same - game
Solo
Chorus x2 |
Wastin'
Starin' - at the ceiling - all day long
Wonderin' how these voices got so strong
and i'm oh so tired and uninspired all the time
cause' tho ive tried i just can not drink them off my mind
One more - pot of coffee - make it strong
Maybe take a shower later on
and yeah i got my vices but they don't help to hide what's real
and i hear them laughing as the jackals circle for the kill
(I'll make it alive if I reach that hill )
And I'm waistin' away to something real
Are you going my way do you know how I feel
Passed out on the sofa - the TV glares
One more sad reminder - that no one cares
and i know some answers
but i just can't do this on my own
so i'll twist another
and sit here waitin' by the phone
(you can try to call but no one's home)
Cause I'm waistin' away
to something real
Are you going my way
do you know how I feel
Change
Ch x2 and Out

X
i saw an old man walkin' down a road.
i said, "sir how are u today?"
he said, "i'm fine and if you really wanna know
i can teach you to feel this way. oh..."
he tipped his hat and he pulled his overcoat
and he blew his hot breath into the cold
he said, "i found a treasure map, a treasure map of old"
He said "son do you wanna go home?"
then he took a little time
and said what was on his mind
he said "son, are you listenin'?"
"life's an open door
you gotta reach the other shore,
X is what your Missin' -go."
so i drove on the old man in my head
and the treasure map lyin' on the floor
then i lit a cigarette and pondered what he said
turned the car and headed for home
and now i take a little time
and i say what's on my mind
son are you listenin'?
yeah life's an open door
you gotta reach the other shore,
X is what your Missin' -go."
time to hoist the sails
reach your destiny
don't you wanna go home?
SOLO
v that's why i take a little time
and i say what's on my mind
son are you listenin'?
yeah lifes an open door
you gotta reach the other shore,
X is what your Missin' -go."
