I FEEL GOOD WHAT I'M DOING
I feel good what I'm going
I know it's only a feeling
Listen to my band, listen to my band play the music
And I don't even care if you're booing
because I feel good what I'm doing
I'm not picking on you, baby
But I'm a man and got eyes
I'm not fooling with you, baby
because you're the devil in disguise
And you may have more money than me accruing
but I feel good what I'm doing
SECOND SONG
Oops they did it again
Looks like you fully accept what they're saying
There was no hope of a triumph or glory
Lies only a fool could believe
Maybe it's 'cuz you're trained
Maybe it's 'cuz you're stupid and lazy
I don't know just how I'm gonna say it yet
but it's only the second song
Right there you are
So right there you are
Don't you be scared my darling, it's only the second song
I WAS THINKING ABOUT YOU WHEN I DIED
I was thinking about you when I died
when I died, when I died
I was thinking about you when I died
for I will not be back no more
"Were you thinking about me when you died,
when you died, when you died?"
Yes! I was thinking about you when I died
for I will not be back no more
"Were you thinking about me when you died,
when you died, when you died?
Were you thinking about me when you died
for you will not be back no more"
Look, I was thinking about you when I died
when I died, when I died
I was thinking about you when I died
for I will not be back
for I will not be back no more
That's it!
YOU'RE NOT INVITED TO THE PARTY
There's gonna be girls
Girls from all over the world
And if you like boys
well the boys are gonna be there too
There's gonna be an open bar
all night long!
Even the help is gonna get kissed
and all the guests are gonna get tips
but
you're not invited to the party
you're not invited to the party
Why don't you kick a tin can
all the way home?
When you get there you find you owe money
Why don't they just leave you alone?
But in the other yard
high up on a balcony
they're pointing and laughing at you
(they're singing)
you're not invited to the party
you're not invited to the party
(oh, I wish someone would invite me to the party)
Some say a hundred guests
I think it even less
Every year it seems to be a much, much smaller affair
But you can't get home
because your driveway's blocked
You knock on the door but they won't let you in
because you're not invited to the party
YOU'LL NEVER GET RICO
Hold it
and always remember
breaking hearts is bound to please you
breaking hearts is bound to please you
breaking broken hearts will please you
but you'll never get Rico
you'll never get Rico
Easy, your honor, just do what you're going to do
Easy, your honor, just do what you want to do
but you'll never get Rico
you'll never get Rico
You can use your words like thunder
and make me have to run for cover
you may have me, you may have my mother
but you'll never get Rico
you'll never get Rico
Easy, your honor, just do what you're going to do
Easy, your honor, just do what you want to do
but you'll never get Rico
you'll never get Rico
(Search the children, search the ladies, men)
JUST IN TIME FOR NOTHING
"Beat it, mister, beat 'em up bad
Beat 'em, mister, make 'em all mad
You are the greatest goddam thing we ever had"
"Teach me, master, you little master man
Teach me, master, you genius master man
You put a bug so far up their ass, good job, let me shake your
hand"
I was amazed when I first left the city
What they were talking about
I was amazed, even here, right here in the city
What they were talking about
They were the ones who wanted to throw stones, now they're having
doubts
It was once, it was twice, I swear it must have been ten
It was once, two times, here it goes again
I will never forgive those bastards for what they did to my friend
"Watch your mouth, how dare you, all that stuff that you
say"
They told me "Wash your mouth out, son....hike!....we're not
listening anyway"
Well now we're here in the quicksand, HOW COULD YOU BE SO FUCKING
STUPID???
That's the question I ask everyday.
In the middle, in the middle of it again
In the middle, in the middle of it again
In the middle of it, in the middle of it
in the middle of it, in the middle of it
Just in time for nothing, all they got there is clowns
Just in time for nothing, sit yourself right down
If you want to
know why, follow the money, then you might come around.
789 DOLLARS THAT I DON'T HAVE
Had to go sell all of my records to the Academy
Ever since I was a little bitty boy those records were the world
to me
Borrowed about all that I can from my friends and family
Hope I have enough to keep on my electricity
Counting it up and when I get the sum, it's woe, woe-is-me
It comes to 789 dollars and, well, that's bad
because that's 789 dollars that I don't have
Fear of work, love of the good times, I know you know what I mean
Kick myself, drink myself to death, you know what I mean
I'm just an imposter in the house of love, baby
(Water lighty foodoo housey, just like Fela said!)
Don't tell me you've got A.D.D.! You can't listen to my song!
No wonder why I can't make 789 dollars to slap right in your hand
Sorry, that's 789 dollars that I don't have
I know what I'm gonna do now
I know just what I'm gonna do now
I'm gonna find somebody rich, they'll take care of everything
Meanwhile that's 9, 8, carry the 3 and well, you do the math
It comes to 789 dollars that I don't have
(I walk around town singing "troubled about my landlord,
troubled about my landlord")
He wants 789 dollars and he wants it fast
and that's just 789 dollars that I don't have
FOREVER WEAK
Forever weak
and there doesn't seem to be a thing I can do about it
Might as well send me away on a big, big balloon
A fool, a freak
forever weak
And I don't even care about it anymore
Just shoot me right up to the dark side of the moon
I'M JUST A SENTIMENTAL SORT OF FELLOW
I subscribe to precious few axioms
makes it easier bending the facts but oh wait
don't get me wrong
way down deep I'm just a sentimental sort of fellow
Scheming and scamming with high society
while you other people live in anxiety
Wait, don't go little lover
Don't you know I'm just a sentimental sort of fellow
Apparently, I'm blowing smoke rings up this world's sexed-up ass
in hopes that they're fooled
(scam scat)
Apparently, I'm shit out of luck in this crazy world
Oh what can I do? I'm just a sentimental sort of fellow
SMILING WORLD
Suit yourself, suit yourself, suit yourself, shoot yourself
In the winter, I'll be waiting for you
Shoot shoot shoot them down, suits and ties
All I see are faces smiling
I get unnerved in a smiling world
To all these faces that keep smiling
What's the deal-io with this smiling world
LAST SWIG OF THE COCOA
"Looks like they made off with all of the loot", I say
to you
You shrug your shoulders 'cuz what can one say, what can one do?
It's back down to me and you
I was right again
I was right
but no one was going to listen
Get out of my way
for what's there left to say?
They said it was time
and my heart did cry
They said it was time
I knew their mouths doth lie
They're part of the crime
and me oh my
so are you
***
(if I had a million dollars
I'd lose all my friends
and the new people I'd meet
I'd be new money, they wouldn't accept me
if I had a million dollars
think of the paperwork!
They'll always know where to find me
just what I need
if I had a million dollars
I'd die a spectacular death
crash my boat into an electric eel
