Millionaire 03:47
lyrics
buy track
For all them folks that can’t stand waiting Looking for them financial six minute abs All stretched out on the credit Ready to burn them plastic little slabs Well there’s hope or so I’ve heard For folks down on their luck Send a self addressed stamped envelope Along with fifty bucks Exchange them dollars into dong Voila! Your’re a millionaire in Vietnam Now don’t go getting all that eager It ain’t as simple as you might think Over there in ‘nam it’ll cost you A hundred thousand dong for that five hour energy drink They got notes to half a million Over in the states your’re sure to get a stare Fold a couple in your pocket You’re a dong millionaire Exchange them dollars into dong Voila! You’re a millionaire in Vietnam Over there in Zimbabwe Used to have a one hundred trillion dollar bill And for a couple bucks on ebay You can probably find yourself one still Oh that runaway inflation Playing that paper game has got you blue Like the saying goes in Russia It’s paper game play you Exchange them dollars into dong Voila! You’re a millionaire in Vietnam WoooooHoooo that national debt just keep on rising All it do is just climb climb climb climb climb One of these days this fifty dollars Might not even be worth a dime Forget all that you’re just fine Need a quick fix my friend you’re in luck Send a self addressed stamped envelope

Boats Down 02:43
lyrics
buy track
All it takes is the spray and the brine to make a deck hands wine And leave you drunk and in love with the wind and the waves Best keep your head lest you wind up dead In the cold embrace of a watery grave Boats down oars in the water Boats down off through the sea Boats down singing to my fair maiden my heart belongs to thee It could be three years or more fore I return to this shore May our love have not gone cold For it’s a promise this ring and it’s fortune I’ll bring Returning with the oil flowing o’er the hold Boats down oars in the water Boats down off through the sea Boats down singing to my fair maiden my heart belongs to thee It’s to be a worldwide trip on board this ship Powered by the wind and the breeze So to reach me by mail send it off in a gale and address it to the seven seas Boats down oars in the water Boats down off through the sea Boats down singing to my fair maiden my heart belongs to thee Once we come around to the cruising ground A foreboding feeling hung in the air Looked me right in the eye as the harpoon bit his side Then split the ships asunder not a soul was spared Now I sink down deep through the water sink down to the bottom of the sea Sink down a chorus of sperm-a-ceti singing my funeral elegy My fair maiden I shant return to thee

Ferry pulls away to steam the waters oh so deep Nothing out of place the homes lay half asleep I can’t help but think this day were created just for me Oh Nantucket like walking into a dream Young since 1931 been cycle logically The best way to see the isle for a mainland escapee So grab a bell a basket and a bicycle built for two Oh Nantucket so nice being here with you Hit that road named Milestone and you’re well on your way Cotton candy clouds the bluest skies a perfect day Sconset beach is within reach once main hits gully road Oh Nantucket that waters awful cold Grab a bite to eat then ride the streets ‘round Siasconset town Cottages and fishing shacks brilliant colors all around Make your way to Sankaty head light high on the eastern shore Oh Nantucket my legs are awful sore Start heading back down Polpis path through the bushes and the trees Up and down you spin along just digging that new England breeze Steamboat wharf coming up in another mile or two Oh Nantucket its about time to be leaving you Ferry pulls away to steam the waters oh so deep Nothing out of place the homes lay half asleep I can’t help but think this day were created just for me Oh Nantucket I’m coming back you’ll see Oh Nantucket I’m coming back you’ll see Oh Nantucket I’m coming back you’ll see

Jonah 05:49
lyrics

Word of Jah to Jonah came To Nineveh go and proclaim against her Evil there is on the rise Whats right is wrong whats wrong is right But there’s hope still Jonah run away He tried to escape He said I ain’t no Shadrach, Meschach or Abednego I’m just Jo Hopped a ship bound for the outer rim The noon day sun is getting dim and the storms rage Seas so rough they nearly died til Jonah thrown over the side And the storms cease But Jonah he can’t swim A great fish come up and swallow him This weren’t no mammoth salmon tuna or no yellow tail It’s a whale And the blues rain down like hail Belly of the beast for three nights and days Jonah screams he cries he prays he calls out Now I say with my final moan salvations with YHWH alone And no other YHWH to the whale command Spit out that boy there on the dry land Among the krill and swill he spill forth from the mighty jowl He smell so foul Word of Jah to Jonah came again And now he walked through Nineveh proclaiming Forty days til you’re overthrown Word reached the king he rose from his throne declaring And the king said Nineveh repent Turn from our evil this God may yet relent The went all in changed from within and Jah removed the threat But Jo’s upset Jonah complains it’s so unfair That YHWH should choose to spare this wicked people Thrown down on the ground and yelled just let me die For days he stays and starts to fry when a tree grows Jah provide Jonah shade Then let a worm eat up what had been made Jo sit and rant pitied the plant But not the Ninevee O Jo can’t you see O Jo can’t you see

Well the worlds gone helter skelter And I’m heading for the shelter This sure ain’t just the sniffles no no no Things have raised to quite a scare Gremlins floating through the air No magic pill to take oh no no no That firewall just blazing red Who knows how many are really dead The info can’t be trusted can’t you see It’s a sci-fi horror tale Here comes the plague we’ve seen the hail Creating superbugs in a bio tech facility They opened the cage and let the beast run free This ain’t from no dang snake fricassee Why it’s the makings of a biological attack C-O-R O-N-A V-I-R U-S-A You best believe they got the crosshairs square right on our backs One more time Well the worlds gone helter skelter And I’m heading for the shelter This sure ain’t just the sniffles no no no Things have raised to quite a scare Gremlins floating through the air No magic pill to take oh no no no That firewall just blazing red Who knows how many are really dead The info can’t be trusted can’t you see It’s a sci-fi horror tale Here comes the plague we’ve seen the hail Creating superbugs in a bio tech facility They opened the cage and let the beast run free This ain’t from no dang snake fricassee Why it’s the makings of a biological attack C-O-R O-N-A V-I-R U-S-A You best believe they got the crosshairs square right on our backs You best believe they got the crosshairs square right on our backs

I’m eating quinoa cowboy burgers For lunch on a Saturday Later on it’s Vikings 49ers And I’m probably gonna watch them play It’s the second week in January Feels like it’s the first of May I’m eating quinoa cowboy burgers For lunch on a Saturday Baby doll been misbehaving Had to take away her phone She’s just a staring at the TV Hashtag all alone Mommy took Kobe running Off the leash they’re in the zone I’m eating quinoa cowboy burgers On a Saturday afternoon The jock climbed the rock to Newton To ball against Kit-a-tin-i-a He’s getting lots of minutes on the JV Not so much on the Var-si-tay And Bear’s meeting up with his friends They’re over at Stephen J And I’ve finished my quinoa cowboy burger I’ve finished my quinoa cowboy burger I’ve finished my quinoa cowboy burger For lunch on a Saturday

Water salt yeast flour too Nanny bread for me and you A twisted braid a three day rise Nanny bread such sweet goodbyes With her apron and her smile Come on in and stay a while I can’t think of a better way Spending this rainy Saturday Aromas dance you can taste the air Nanny bread please take me there While its warm the jam we spread Feeding my soul with Nanny bread When she isn’t here no more I’ll open up my freezer door Treasure I have stored within Nanny bread we’ll have again Nanny bread we’ll have again Nanny bread we’ll have again

Rebel 05:21
lyrics

He’d tell stories about a hot rod GTO 389 with a six pack and that raped ape sure did go He’d smoke the tires straight up through second gear Through prospect park and north haledon a rebel without a fear He had a pack of smokes rolled in his sleeve Marlboro red Living hard and fast with no hesitation didn’t give a damn what they said A pack of smokes rolled in his sleeve a brass zippo for a light He’d say if it weren’t for bad luck hell I’d have none but I try to do whats right He pulled up to the bar and had himself some beers And then he stepped into his car and the man took his license for ten years He came and stayed with us a while and we shared a room Fighting for the TV in the morning were it Flintstones or Captain Kangaroo He had a pack of smokes rolled in his sleeve Marlboro red On the road towards reformation and a quieter life instead A pack of smokes rolled in his sleeve a brass zippo for a light He’d say if it weren’t for bad luck hell I’d have none but I try to do whats right He had a mind that could engineer and design Some clever way to solve a problem and he’d figure it every time He’d take the time to share and show the things he knew And he’d be teaching you how to think instead of just showing you how to do He had a pack of smokes rolled in his sleeve Marlboro red Contemplating each complication fore he took one step ahead A pack of smokes rolled in his sleeve a brass zippo for a light He’d say if it weren’t for bad luck hell I’d have none but I try to do whats right And round good Friday he’d get a haircut and a shave And then he’d place purple hyacinths on his Mothers grave Now he’s gone and he’s left this world behind But those purple hyacinths keep coming back each year right around Easter time He had a pack of smokes rolled in his sleeve Marlboro red Contemplating each complication fore he took one step ahead A pack of smokes rolled in his sleeve a brass zippo for a light He’d say if it weren’t for bad luck hell I’d have none but I try to do whats right

Before You Leave 02:25

Before you leave Before you go Before you have all the answers to life’s questions We all ask but could never know We all ask but could never know We all ask but could never know Before you leave Please take my hand When words fall short and all you’ve got left are blank spaces My child I understand My child I understand My child I understand Now I take the final exit But I ain’t out here on my own I’ve been set free and riding shotgun With the KING driving me home Before you leave Before you go Before you have all the answers to life’s questions We all ask but could never know We all ask but could never know We all ask but could never know

Masterpiece 03:46
lyrics
buy track
She’s an artist She’s got big hopes and dreams She’s a mother She’s only seventeen And life takes one small piece away So the canvas waits for another day She’s working three jobs But the ends never seem to meet She’s got a heart of gold In a world full of concrete And time takes one small piece away So the canvas waits for another day Now the kids are grown Grand babies running round Just a few more years And then she’ll settle down She’s worked so hard the toil and the tears And the canvas calls they ain’t spoke in years She’s got an easel But she’s waiting to be set free For the demons within To be slain by this che-mo-ther-a-py And the canvas ever so patiently waits For the masterpiece Tomorrow she’s gonna paint For the masterpiece Tomorrow she’s gonna paint
