It doesn't matter what I say because you're not listening It doesn't matter what I play because you're not listening It doesn't matter anyway because you're not listening I'm only basing my life on everything that I write if I didn't do this I would think myself worthless so I send out into the world I send it into the void where it disappears without a word no praise no criticism no sadness no joy It doesn't matter what I say because you're not listening It doesn't matter what I play because you're not listening It doesn't matter anyway because you're not listening but I rather like it this way no one to answer to each day I wouldn't be free to explore if I knew who I was writing for so I send it out into the world I send it out when it's time never expecting to hear from it again I made it for me so you see it's finished, goodbye It doesn't matter what I say because you're not listening It doesn't matter what I play because you're not listening It doesn't matter anyway because no one is listening

What is that sound? I think they're dropping bombs All around my home This may be my last moment here so I thought I'd tell you my dear Oh, I love you In case I forget to do it from beyond the grave I want you to know that I'll always think of you...

'Now this a story, it's about a fox, a very special fox with a heart of gold' If you believe in magical creatures You know the fox is the greatest of deceivers So always watch for lies that come to your ears All the world seems to look his way Scrutinizing every word he says One day while I was collecting insects I came upon a fox who appeared to be distressed I let the beetles scurry and listened as he said: 'All the world seems to look my way Scrutinizing every single word I say' Even with all those eyes around him He still managed to keep his cool I spoke to the fox no longer was defensive I knew somehow that this one was different To never be believed is a pretty tough existence All the world seems to look his way Scrutinizing every word he says I said to the fox 'I will be your friend' He gave me a hug, I wished it would never end And then he told me something I didn't quite understand Even with all those eyes around him He still manages to keep his cool 'I was tempted to tell you but thought discovering it on your own was best.' Oh tell me! 'If you do mess up the world, I'm gonna put it in the fridge and you'll have to eat it for dinner.'

Oh Marley you gave the world your tune Oh Marley you were taken too soon Oh Marley they did not understand Oh Marley you were a capital man Oh Marley Oh Oh Oh Marley Oh Oh Marley Oh Oh Marley Oh Oh I saw you again last night I thought it was a dream you gave me such an awful fright I had to stifle a scream you denounced all your life's work you said it was in vain you did it all with a smirk but now you carry all those chains Oh Marley Oh Oh Oh Marley Oh Oh Marley Oh Oh Marley Oh Oh a spirit arrived at the stroke of one showing me all the bad things I'd done a second arrived at 2am showed me the state of poor Tiny Tim a last appeared just after three and showed me a future yet to be Oh Marley I am right now taking action Oh Marley my business will be compassion Oh Marley you came from beyond the grave Oh Marley and now my life is saved Oh Marley Oh Oh Oh Marley Oh Oh Marley Oh Oh Marley Oh Oh

Dull Dishrag 01:57
What do I see before me? A dull dishrag Oh why must everything always be such a drag? If you could see what I see I don't think you would disagree 'Cause when I take a closer look I see someone who can be read just like a book that's always cute and fun If you could see what I see I don't think you would want to leave dull dishrag dull dishrag dull dishrag

I saw you on Sunday and there went my heart into that fortress of you Locked up tightly like a caged animal moaning and screeching inside your zoo I let you catch me though you don't know the things you make me do I am your mongrel at the end of your leash and I know there's no escaping from you there's no escaping from you When you look my way severely I fall in love desperately I am torn apart completely and I become a pool of blood for you Pluck out my eyeballs just like my heart that I give so freely to you Wear them on a bracelet at the end of your wrist so I can continue to watch you be cruel And I'll be the first in your collection of parts of men who had lept too soon but they went willingly knowing full well that there would be no escaping from you there's no escaping from you When you look my way severely I fall in love desperately I am torn apart completely and I become a pool of blood for you Slice me to ribbons to tie in your hair like a bird silken and blue surrounding your body I am so happy the knot is so tight that there's no escaping from you there's no escaping from you there's no escaping from you

Sophomore Stomp! Sophomore Stomp! Sophomore Stomp! Sophomore Stomp! Remember when you were in high school and you wanted to fit in? The things you tried and later lied when your parents had questions? You picked up many nasty habits now you wish they could be dropped but everybody else was doing it Everybody Sophomore Stomped! Sophomore Stomp! Sophomore Stomp! Sophomore Stomp! Sophomore Stomp! Sophomore Stomp! Sophomore Stomp! Sophomore Stomp! Sophomore Stomp! Then you got out in the world and left your naive ways behind But, what's that? A TV ad! Now you must go out and buy A short time later you smack your face you can't believe you did it again there is no finish line to this race The Sophomore Stomp will never end Sophomore Stomp! Sophomore Stomp! Sophomore Stomp! Sophomore Stomp! Sophomore Stomp! Sophomore Stomp! Sophomore Stomp! Sophomore Stomp! over the years you've gotten smarter you want to share your wisdom Now you have kids but they won't listen just like you way back when so when you're feeling wise and foolish And you want it all to stop Just remember that we all do it Everybody Sophomore Stomps! Sophomore Stomp! Sophomore Stomp! Sophomore Stomp! Sophomore Stomp!

when you think life has got you down and you don't know how to get around just remember friends and the love they give and the only rules you need to live just go, just do, just be in this world there are twisted souls who may try to make you their own but you are yours for all eternity keep on the straight and hope that they will see a love of life and nothing less nothing to hold back nothing to distress just go, just do, just be sometimes a person cannot see the way sometimes that person can be led astray if you see that someone tell them 'it's okay just be true to yourself it doesn't matter what they say' just go, just do, just be and when it's done you don't need to look back you will know you chose the right path if there's any doubt just look around and see all the joy that you have found just go, just do, just be

Sometimes you need a hand to help you understand all the madness in this world But the best advice always comes at a price that you can barely afford So you turn to me now darling hoping I'll give you something something you really don't need Look in my eyes don't be surprised if you should see a new reality Maybe you can pay me in kind When all is said and done you won't find anyone who will believe your story and I am so sorry about what happened to your mind

All day at my job I can't get nothin' done because everyone stops me from working I have to get out and so I plan to fake my resignation fake my resignation fake my resignation so if they think I'm gone left for a better gig then I can get down to brass tacks, oh when I fake my resignation fake my resignation fake my resignation he's not here he won't be back I don't know he must have cracked leave those papers on the stack and we'll outsource them
