Slavery Train

Rolling on the tracks 
Faster than the eye can see
Heading somewhere
A place where we can be free

We have no time to waste 
Soon they’ll be looking for us 
Going town to town 
If they don’t find us, they’ll have a fuss

Riding in the cars 
Being quiet as we can be 
Waiting for the next stop 
We’ll all be ready to be free

Were happy to be alive 
To be able to escape the fears 
Knowing that we were dying slowly 
Crying all those tears

Being beaten to the inch of our lives 
For doing what we were told 
Our lives being torn apart 
Like a pair of pants unfold

Pouring out of the train 
Heading to the outskirts of town 
Getting away from all of the commotion 
All of the smiles turn into frowns

Now we are really happy 
As happy as we will ever be 
Heading somewhere
A place where we can be free

Life of a Hobo

Walking along the road 
Pushing the metal cart 
Having to be in a useless life mode 
I am a hobo with a broken heart

Finding new things everywhere
Picking up random things and putting them in my cart 
I even found a new pair of underwear
I told my wife that we would never be apart

I am an uncleaned man  
I remember the times when I took a shower
And going to the living room to sit in front of the fan
I sat there for an hour

Thinking about the old times 
And the new times too
Fighting all this nasty, stinky grime
Makes me feel blue 

I think I should have stayed in school 
Probably wouldn't be a hobo in this situation 
Maybe I thought I was too cool
I should have filled out that application

Cool Kids

Hot long haired boys
Skating around town 
Being the cool kids

Short haired boys 
Walking around school 
Always the cool kids

Young, dumb, and popular
All the cute guys 
None that I could never get 

Skating around town 
Smoking joints and cigarettes 
Acting like they are the cool kids

Working Man

Working from dusk to dawn
Going home worn out 
All he wants to do is go to bed and sleep
But he has other things to do 
Take a shower and eat
Watch a little television 
Read the newspaper 
Then he might go to bed
Sleep endlessly 
Hear the alarm go off 
Time to get up 
Getting ready to go back to work 
Working from dusk to dawn 
…again…

No One, No Friend

Walk in and walk out
It’s always the same
Kids fighting each other

It hit me one day
I was scared
Never knew who secretly waits for me

One hurtful, naughty word
It was all that it took
To easily hurt me or somebody else

Now I have no one 
No one to be happy with or
Tell secrets that I wish to be kept

Only one important person
That loves me 
He always stands beside me

I have one true friend
She is gone now
Disappeared from my life

Tell Me a Secret

Go ahead 
Whisper in my ear 
Always trust me 
You don’t need to fear

Tell me the simple words 
As fast as you can 
Get it out to me 
I need to know man

You’re leaving me curious 
Telling me simple statements 
They’re not helping me any 
I don’t think your making any sense

Gently rocking back and forth 
Steadily on the hard ground 
Waiting impatiently and… 
Working with what I’ve found

Tell me the simple words 
As fast as you can 
Get it out to me 
I need to know man

Different

You’re ugly 
You’re mean 
You’re stupid 
You’re fat 
You’re unattractive 
You’re retarded 
You’re a nerd 
You’re geek 
All I say is 
I am just different

Fantasy World

Dreaming past the fantasized world 
Thinking of all unrealistic things
Unicorns with beautiful wings
Flying endlessly in the white, puffy clouds

Coming back in the realistic world 
The place where I feel like I don’t belong
Wanting to go back to my unrealistic world
So wonderful that I lose all the pain that I am suffering in 

Facing the unwishful truth of no fantasies 
But in my world, I feel like they are realistic
Keep dreaming of those unrealistic creatures 
In my wonderful, fantasy world

Daily Life

Living day in
Living day out
Working as hard as I can
To get money to pay the bills
Searching for food for the family
Trying to get through the day
As best as I can

All it matters
Is to get some money
To be able to not to think
How am I supposed to support?
My kids, my husband, and I
It all hits me like rain pounding the roof
Is this how life is supposed to be?

Going down hills
Going up hills
Having great times
And some bad times
You think your life should be easy
It is not supposed to be
Life is difficult for a reason

*MAKE LIFE WHAT YOU WANT IT TO BE. LIVE EACH DAY, THE BEST WAY YOU CAN, LIFE GOES ON UNTIL YOU DIE. BE HAPPY BECAUSE YOU CAN DIE ANY MINUTE NOW. SO LIVE IT UP!!!

Until the Afterlife

Dancing on the wild floor 
Bouncing on other people 
Who are trying to dance along 
To the wild music 
Getting drunk crazily 
With friends and partying 
Until the afterlife

Sleeping into the next day 
Waking up with a bad hangover
From all the drinking the other night
Trying to soak up all the memories
While getting drunk crazily 
With friends and partying 
Until the afterlife

Going back tonight to the party 
Dancing with the finest men in town 
Along with the craziest music ever
And enjoying every drink that enters the throat 
While getting drunk crazily
With friends and partying 
Until the afterlife
