The Devil You Know

Bitter arsenic
You made it taste so sweet
But for much too long
I've marched to your beat
Now it's all been said
Now I've crossed that line
Now I'm seeing red
And I feel just fine
Compared to these, the Devil you know is a friend indeed
From all I've seen, the Devil you know is a friend...
A friend indeed
When this all began
You seemed so sincere
The way you took your stand
And backed it up with fear
Now your time is through
Now I'm wide awake
Now I'm pushing you
And now you're gonna break
Compared to these, the Devil you know is a friend indeed
From all I've seen, the Devil you know is a friend...
A friend indeed

Go On

When I left you everything was good
When we split, I felt the way I should
Feels like I've known it for so long
I just couldn't admit the wrong
And now you're trying to bring me back to you
Go on
And take the past with you, take away your hell
Go on
And take the pain with you, leave me to myself
Well I found out I can think for myself
Then I walked out and finally found myself
Now I see it all so clear
Your only weapon's empty fear
In the guise of such concern for me

Fat Cat Grin

Oh, bring your charm and smile your fat cat grin
You wear the suit so bloody well
Oh, keep on talking small until you're in
It's just the essence of your spell
Thou shall not sit upon your throne
And pretend that we're all blind
Thou shall not claim to have concern
And leave the rest of us behind
Oh, tell me how we're family and we're friends
I feel the knife; it's sticking in
Oh, tell me how you want me to ascend
Until you hear about my sins

Gotta Get Away
04:30
|

|
Keep walking around in circles here
Tow the line, nod your head, get your ass in gear
This ain't the time; this ain't the place for you and your opinions
'Cause it's our dime, and even though it's wrong it's our decision
But I can't take another minute of your presence
If I scream loud enough, maybe you'll get the message
Gotta away, get away, get away from here
Gotta away, get away, get away from here
Keep taking your shit, keep clocking in
Take a breath, breathe a sigh, keep the anger in
This is the time, this is the place for me to take some action
'Cause it's my life and now it's time I got some satisfaction

Show of a Lifetime
03:56
|

|
When you take a smiling look at those faded photographs
With every Kodak moment, am I still good for a laugh?
You always looked to me to say the right thing, but half the time
My thoughts weren't worth your penny, so please don't waste another dime
'Cause there's plenty of idiots and far too many clowns
The world's still full of hypocrites, but I think I'll stick around
'Cause you never know just how the story turns out in the end
And a lifetime for this kind of show is not too much to spend
When the road less traveled finally needs to be repaved
I guess I'll try and hitch a ride, but I'm not sure I'll behave
I'm sure that somewhere there's a place where everything makes sense
So help me to tear down this wall I've been banging my head against
When the doctors and the nurses can all read, but not comprehend
I'll close my eyes and count to ten, and I'll try not to offend
And when the temple's full of money changers who arent' sure why they're there
I won't turn over any tables, but I'll try and clear the air

So Long
06:13
|

|
I knew that one day you'd be gone from me
Just never thought today was the day it would be
Time shows no mercy, the days turn to years
To waking up today, without you here
So long seems so hard to say
You'll live on in each song that I play
You're gone, but I still feel you here
And I hear your song in me
I tried to be there as much as I could
With all these distractions, I hope you understood
One last conversation, to look in your eye
One last chance to laugh with you, one last goodbye
And everywhere I look, I see what you've given me
And when I need the strength to stand, I hear your voice whispering

The sky is falling all around you
Can't you see it coming down?
They tell me these things and more and it makes me want to scream
'Cause I've decided not to drown
The sky's not falling, it's just raining
We all need the rain to help us grow
Yeah, it's wet and soggy, but it won't last all that long
And pretty soon there'll be a rainbow
'Cause I can see that this life right here is not my own
And I will believe that I'm working toward what I cannot see
'Cause it's better than what I've seen and known
So you can talk about the pressure
And you can talk about your pain
And you can waste your time on all those things that hold you back
Never seeing what you've got to gain
Or you can take a look around you
At the blessings that you've got right now
And just be thankful that your life's not a whole lot worse
You'll find the rainbow's end somehow

When I Get the Blues

When I get the blues, gonna play it on this guitar
When I get the blues, gonna play it on this guitar
Well I'm hopin' someday these blues are gonna take me real far
Called my mama, to tell her that I got the blues
You know I called my mama, to tell her that I got the blues
My mama said "I can't talk right now, son, I got too much shit to do."
Tried to go to church, but the preacher said I done too much wrong
Tried to go to church, but the preacher said I done too much wrong
So now I'm standin' outside, just waitin' for the Lord to send me a song
When I get the blues, gonna play me some rock and roll
When I get the blues, gonna play me some rock and roll
Well I'm hopin' that someday, these blues'll come down and lift up my soul

I'm Ready

I got my blue jeans on and I feel alright
I'm ready to go
I got a bulldog bark, and a rattlesnake bite
I'm ready to go
I found a sweet little woman that'll treat me right
I'm ready to go
Gonna rock it on out 'til the mornin' light
I'm ready to go
Well I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
Ready now, I'm ready to go
I got 48 hours and an ace in the hole
I'm ready to go
Well I kicked off my blues, but I got me some soul
I'm ready to go
I got a one-track mind and no self-control
I'm ready to go
Gonna spice up the night with a little rock & roll
I'm ready to go
Got a new set of wheels and they need a good spin
I'm ready to go
Got my foot in the door with a wink and a grin
I'm ready to go
I hold my cards to my chest because I'm playin' to win
I'm ready to go
Gonna throw the top down in the city of sin
I'm ready to go
