Buy in it'll shut you up
Try it, it should shut you up We've brought you someone in to shut you up It's a life's work While we were hunting rabbits I came upon a clear The sky its stars like fortune drilled me Until now I was a soldier Until now I dealt in fear These years of cloak and dagger Have left us disappeared And I dance, and I sing And I'm a monkey in a long line Buy in it should shut you up Try it, it should shut you up They've brought someone in to shut you up And it's getting to be light work While we were hunting rabbits I came upon a clear And the sky the stars like fortune filled me Until now I was a soldier Until now I dealt in fear These years of cloak and dagger Have left us disappeared And I dance and I sing And I'm a monkey in a long line of kings And we dance and we sing And we're all monkeys in a long line I'm just a boat on the ocean And I'm just a ship lost at sea |

Go shoot down the Sun and Moon
Close your eyes, live at noon We don't know what we are But we're tired of it Go and get your friends We'll take this city While it's sleeping Down and out Without a doubt We're down and out Without a doubt We're down and out We're so heavy We can't get out from under it There's too many of us That don't want to fight it That don't want to fight it Hey I've lost too many years to this I walk behind the crowd And pick up the garbage That was our future without memory That made the children of the system we created And then forgave How can you love Jove, Drusilla, and forsake Rome? |

Good morning
Don't cop out You crawled from the cancer to land on your feet Are you crazy to want this Even for a while? We're making this shit up The reasons for being are easy to pay You can't remember the others They just kind of went away So you're driving, it's rush hour The cars on the freeway are moving like slugs When you drift off to wake up Do you always hit the brakes? We're done lying for a living The strange days have come and you're gone Either dead or dying Either dad or trying to go It's evening, you're tired You sleep walk, a robot out on the street Are you crazy to want this, even for a while? you're driving, it's rush hour The cars on the freeway are moving backwards Into a wall of fire We're done lying for a living The strange days have come and you're gone Either dead or dying Either dead or trying to go Good morning Don't cop out |

Every now and then baby Ain't it good to be alive? Up again, down again, out of your head When she's beside you you're nearly not so dead Up again, down again, out of your head When she's beside you you're always at your best So a song for the girl |

I've a favor to ask, maybe this is a bad time
You know whenever you ask there's never a good time How do you take your heart out of it? How can you take your heart out of this? And how do you stop once you've started? Somebody gave you a choice And all you do is abuse it If God He gave you a voice Then use it Here's something to ask if these are the bad times Because whenever you ask why it's never the good times How will we get ourselves out of it? How can you take your heart out of this? And how do you stop once you've started? Somebody gave you a choice And all you do is abuse it If God He gave you a voice Then use it Just a lullaby for the new world order |

Not giving a shit may we never forget you May we never forget you Alert status red But the sun comes up instead Alert status red But the sun comes up instead In the wilderness Senile live the zealous Lost to the treasures that compel us Muted down like patriots amiss You know I'm jealous of how you can just turn them off Those bad ideas that feel so soft May they never forget you Alert status red But the sun comes up instead Alert status red But the sun comes up instead Alert status red But the sun comes up instead Alert status red But the sun comes up instead |

from Matthew Good - In A Coma - The Best Of Matthew Good 1995 - 2005 / Disc One (2005)
In the wilderness uncountable voices
Earplugs for the birds and the animals And blinders for your beast of burden, the will For learning These books were made for burning In the wilderness Beneath the ancient sand lies crushed and tanned Those sapphire girls May we never forget you Alert status red But the sun comes up instead In the wilderness the only place to find freedom is in the dictionary Under "F" Men in holes, men in caves, men in chains I ask But the store clerk needn't check Man I forget which came first The bad idea or me befallen by it? Not giving a shit may we never forget you May we never forget you Alert status red But the sun comes up instead Alert status red But the sun comes up instead In the wilderness Senile live the zealous Lost to the treasures that compel us Muted down like patriots amiss You know I'm jealous of how you can just turn them off Those bad ideas that feel so soft May they never forget you Alert status red But the sun comes up instead Alert status red But the sun comes up instead Alert status red But the sun comes up instead Alert status red But the sun comes up instead |

from Matthew Good - Avalanche / International Version (2006)
Today I'm leaving
This bullshit one horse town Full of cowboys and Indians Who only have balls when there's a camera around Where the girls they move to you When money gets thrown around Even happiness is using you Maybe you'll figure that out It's a long way down You know it's a damn shame the sun don't shine underground Maybe that's where it's been Maybe that's where I've been Maybe that's where it's been A long way down So today I'm leaving This bullshit circus town Do you ever get the feeling There ain't no hole when you're not around? Where the world it moves to you When the money gets spread around Even happiness is using you Maybe you'll figure that out It's a long way down You know it's a damn shame the sun don't shine underground Maybe that's where it's been Maybe that's where I've been Maybe that's where it's been A long way down ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By GOOD, MATTHEW <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |
