Health Insurance

November 23rd, 2008

I feel so happy when I get the letter
premium’s up fourteen percent
again
well, that’s great but I run my own business
how am I supposed to pay

god damn I hate my health insurance
the reason most people have jobs
betting on sickness or injury and trouble
either way I always lose

my health insurance
my health insurance

Mexican Sewer Diver

November 10th, 2008

i used to be an accountant
stuck in an office job
i found a new vocation
in the agua negra
wetsuit is my protection
hopefully it’s enough
somebody has to clear the drains
i know it’s dangerous

and if a hole appears
i won’t regret the years
keeping the sewers clear
so people can live better

To Freedom

October 26th, 2008

We fight for freedom
Freedom makes us independent
We are independent and we have freedom
No more dependent
We are free
Free to choose, free to love
Free to come, free to leave
Yeah, yeah, yeah…

Married Too Soon

October 23rd, 2008

Speak to the crowd gathered at the chapel
We all want to hear about how happy you are
Please talk about how you found your true love
and say we all will fall in love
and be as happy as shit

You wish we all could be as happy as you are
but true love is rare and doesn’t happen every day
Some people are meant to live lives of misery
happiness is not for them
but they feel better when they sing your wedding song

You were never one to make wishes
You were never one to believe in dreams
You were never one to believe in anything
You were never one to believe in me

Here comes the bride, all dressed in white
Here comes the groom, married too soon

Low Down

August 23rd, 2008

why did you abandon me
oh ye of little faith
quickly I was replaced
and all of the past erased
I was the last to see
you no longer needed me
fairy tales end badly
maybe I always knew this

low down in the ground
maybe I won’t have to feel sad
low down in the ground
maybe I won’t have to feel sad
if you die

ooh
I don’t care if you die anymore
because you’re dead to me now
die
ooh
I don’t care if you die anymore
because you’re dead to me now

losing ground every day
I could not stay away
you were not mine to play
I knew but could not accept this

low down in the ground
maybe I won’t have to feel sad
low down in the ground
maybe I won’t have to feel sad if you die
ooh
I don’t care if you die anymore
because you’re dead to me now
die
ooh
I don’t care if you die anymore
because you’re dead to me now

Alcohol Loves You

July 21st, 2008

when the people you love cheat on you (give up on you)
you drink… drink

when no one is faithful and nothing is true
you drink… drink

you don’t need to wonder
what you should do
there’s a way to escape
if you’re willing to

you drink… drink
you drink… drink

when you need to slow down but don’t want to get high
you drink… drink

when cold truth surrounds you and swallows your mind
you drink… drink

when no one can save you
when you want them to
alcohol loves you
you know what to do

you drink… drink
you drink… drink

when your faith in yourself won’t carry you through
you drink… drink

when there’s no one to talk to and nothing to do
you drink… drink

drowning in poison
the pain disappears
the sound of your own voice
is the last sound you hear

you drink… drink
you drink… drink

when you understand love is a trick of the mind
you drink… drink

when the terrible truth is revealed over time
you drink… drink

when you’re ready to go to a better place
a bottle is waiting
you’ll love the taste

you drink… and you drink
and you drink
let’s drink
you drink… and you drink
