I Live In A Nice House
I live in a nice house
Got a roof over my head
I live with a sweet girl
We met in a record store
We live in America it's just the greatest
Yellow ribbons around the Hollywood sign
Everything is perfect
I
I just can't be sad
I can't be satisfied no no
i just can't be satisfied
I've got cable TV
Nelson comes and sings to me
Bill Cosby is my black friend
Television makes me happy
Love's a word people throw around
Throw it all over this town
People sleeping on the streets yeah
Begging for quarters
I
I just can't be sad
I can't be satisfied no no
i just can't be satisfied
I drive a fine car
With a super loud stereo
My worries are minimal
I lock the doors and away I go
Everybody talking
Trying to tell me how they think that I should live my life
I
I just can't be sad
I can't be satisfied no no
i just can't be satisfied
Blood Is Thicker Than Water
Sometimes I think about my sister
Sometimes I think about myself
Well she's this born again christian
And me i don't believe in anything
I called her on the phone the other day
I love her but we're so far away
Sometimes i think about my sister
Sometimes I think about myself
Sometimes I cry about my sister
Sometimes I cry about myself
I think my dad was a racist
Or maybe he was just ignorant who knows
Well he thought all black people stole from you
And he didn't like Mexicans, he didn't care for Jews no no
Still I wish he was alive today
So we could go off to a Dodger game and talk
I'd tell him what I believe
And he'd just sit there and listen to me and then change
Because blood is thicker than water
Oh yeah blood is thicker than water
At least that's what they say
That's what they say
But I don't know
Well my friends they're important to me
Some more than any family ever has been
They're the ones that bail me out of jail
They're the ones that pick me up every time i fail
Well I love them and they love me
And they don't worry if i'm not what they want me to be
But blood is thicker than water
Oh yeah blood is thicker than water
At least that's what they say
That's what they say
But I don't know
I swore i'd never ever be like my dad
He smoke and drank and yelled at everyone
I swore i'd never ever be like him but now I look in the mirror and there he is
I swore i'd never ever be like him I swore i'd never ever be like him
But blood is thicker than water
Oh yeah blood is thicker than water
At least that's what they say
That's what they say
But I don't know
Is blood thicker than water?
Body And Soul ?
I sleep with the TV on so I don't feel so alone
This house is an empty wreck it's a perfect match for it's perfect guest
In between getting pizzas delivered and going to the store for beer
I sit around every day and night wondering why I'm here
It's like my body and soul can't take it anymore
Please somebody help me i've never wanted help before
I didn't cry the day my mom died
I don't think i even flinched
But I broke down this morning when I saw these two kids kiss
Something's ripping around inside me that i really don't understand
Now I know something's got to change I just don't know if I can
It's like my body and soul can't take it anymore
please somebody help me i've never wanted help before
I've wanted to kill myself but i've always been too scared
My life is like sideways rain swirling around in the air
I’ve been searching most of my life for anything to believe in
Like god or love or something any kind of simple solution
It's like my body and soul can't take it anymore
Please somebody help me i've never wanted help before
Oh somebody help me

I Get So Scared
I've had dreams
Where everything goes right
i've been that kinda high
Where life is just right
But it's only for a moment
It only lasts for a moment and then I get so scared
Well I get so scared sometimes
Yeah I get so scared
I don't know
I've been alone
I slept all by myself
And the bed seems so big
And I seem so small
But it's only for a moment
It only lasts for a moment
Then I get so scared
Well I get so scared sometimes
Well I get so scared
I don't know yeah
I don't know which way to run
Which way to run
And that's why
When you look
In my eyes sometimes
You can see
Just how scared
Just how scared I get yeah
Just the other night
While I watched A Star Is Born
I thought how beautiful and innocent yeah
And all my fear was gone gone gone
It's only for a moment
Yeah it's only for a moment
Then I get so scared
Well I get so scared sometimes
Well I get so scared
But I don't know
yeah I don't know
Which way to run
Which way to run
Well I get so scared
Yeah I get so scared sometimes
I get so scared
Yeah I get so scared sometimes
Song For A Politically Correct Girl From The Valley
You think you're gonna change the world
With a few stupid songs
Well I got news for you baby
The music's not that strong
I've watched them come and go
Well i've watched them fall
And now I know what you want baby
I know what you are
You know that you are just a liar
So lay on your back baby
Lay on your back now
Like everyone else
I was a fool for awhile
But I can see it in your walk now baby
I can see it in your smile
Scratch right up to the top now baby
Scratch right up to the top
Miss Berkeley School Feminist
Dance in her panties in bars
You know that you are just a liar
So lay on your back baby
Lay on your back now
you know that you are just a liar
so lay down baby
Lay down now
You sing I'll beat you up
But you know I never did
And you talk about love now baby
But you got no love to give
What about New York you were as bad as me
But I didn't go walking off with some faggot from The Posies
You are just a liar
So lay on your back baby
Lay on your back now
You know that you are just a liar
Just a liar
How can you sleep at night
How can you sleep
Liar
Ain't Never Been Nuthin' for Me in This World
Well skipping along
On the sunny side of the street
Dancing in the parking lot
Looking at you
Like the way you look at me
There's something that I just don't trust
Ain't never been nuthin' for me
Ain't never been nuthin' for me in this world
Ain't never been nuthin' for me
And there never will be
But that's alright oh yeah baby that's alright
Sunday morning
I’m drinking coffee
The Sunday morning paper in my hand
Looking at you
Standing in the kitchen
Standing in the kitchen with your morning dress on
Ain’t never been nuthin' for me
Ain't never been nuthin' for me in this world
Ain't never been nuthin' for me
And there never will be
But that's alright oh yeah baby that's alright
Late at night
Listen to Miles Davis
Your naked sweaty body next to mine
Lookin' at you
While you're sleeping
Trying to figure
What the fuck is going on
Ain’t never been nuthin' for me
Ain't never been nuthin' for me in this world
Ain't never been nuthin' for me
And there never will be
But that's alright oh yeah baby that's alright
Bus With No Driver
I'm like a bus with no driver
I'm like a plane crash
That no one survives
I'm the one who's afraid of himself
Who's afraid to look in the mirror
I'm a liar and a cheat
A lying cheat
But hey you don't forsake me
‘Cause i'm not bad
Well hey you don't forsake me
I'm not bad
Just a little bit mislead
But i'm not that bad
There's been times that i've prayed
There's been lots of times when I can't remember what i've said
There's been times when I've cried all for nothing in the middle of the night
Hey don't forsake me
‘Cause i'm not bad
Well hey you don't forsake me
I'm not bad
Just a little bit mislead
Well i'm not that bad
There's gonna be a time and a place
When everything's gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
Just t rust me
Oh just trust me
And this time i won't lie
Hey don't forsake me
‘Cause i'm not bad
Well hey you don't forsake me
I'm not bad
Just a little bit mislead
Well i'm not that bad

Like we're all grown up and going off for the weekend

Strong Wind
Honey I'm too tired tonight
Can't we talk about it in the morning
You and me don't stay together
But you and me don't stay apart for long
Just like a strong wind
Working on the weakling
Something's got to give
Well someone's got to give
Laying in our bed tonight
Scared of you and scared to death of moving on
Of leaving all of it behind
Of leaving you for good this time i'll see you
Just like a strong wind
Working on the weakling
Something's got to give
Well someone's got to give
Honey I'm too tired tonight
Can't we talk about it in the morning
You and me don't stay together
But you and me don't stay apart for long
Just like a strong wind
Working on the weakling
Something's got to give
Well someone's got to give
Couple Of Kids
Late one night
On the good side of town
There's a couple of kids getting down
And they were taking off their clothes
And they were looking at each other
They didn't know each other's name
But that didn't matter
And one of 'em had a nose ring
I don't know which one it was
But you can bet they were both wearing black
'Cause they had met at the Scream Club
Or some other club like that
And they liked what each other were wearing and that was that
They're spreading AIDs around
just a couple of kids now
They’re spreading aids around and it really ain't a joke
'Cause soon they'll be all alone in a hospital bed
Thinking to themselves what a big mistake
Oh aids is all around now
Yeah aids is scaring me to death
Oh aids is all around now
AIDSs no no no
Though i'd never try to tell you what you should do
No nobody should tell you what you should do
This aids is all around now
Yeah AIDSs is scaring me to death
AIDS is all around now
AIDSs
Oh just please watch your step
I Met An Angel
Well I met an angel and I know that that sounds dumb
But I think she's here to save me
Save me from myself
She loves me when I hate me
Stands by me when i’m wrong
I met an angel and left you one
In a world full of misery she's like a kid at Disneyland
I don't know what she sees in me
Nobody else can understand
I know that she's not perfect
but I love to watch her sleep
I met an angel one I'd do anything to keep
She's like a Charlie Chaplin movie
Makes you smile when you want to cry
There’s something just so pure in her
It’s like her heart’s a million miles wide
I swear there’s no one like her
Anywhere i’ve been
I met an angel
She’s getting under my skin
A Little Bit Nervous
Everything’s been going so good you know
I’m not used to that
I’ve got everything I ever wanted
You could say i’m lucky i guess
But I get a little bit nervous
‘Cause I know how things can change
Got me a beautiful boy
He plays Dick Tracy and he shoots me down
I must’ve bought him every toy
On the weekends he comes around
I get a little bit nervous
‘Cause I know how things can change
Change on
I used to cry in my beer
But i don’t drink no more
Things have gotten a whole lot better
Especially in the morning time
But still I get a little bit nervous
‘Cause I know how things can change
Well I get a little bit nervous
You Want Me To Change
Crawling down Melrose tonight
Cause i’m too drunk to drive
And i’d rather be home but you won’t let me inside
I’m trying to change
But you won’t give me half a chance
So there’s nothing you can say to me tonight
You say that you will then you turn around and say that you won’t
You say that you want me then you change your mind and say that you don’t
‘Cause I make the same mistakes over and over again
And you don’t like it but that’s the way it’s always been
I’m trying to change
But you won’t give me half a chance
So there’s nothing you can say to me tonight
I drink inside Al’s ‘cause he let’s me drink there for free
I drink there morning afternoon into evening
I’m trying to change
But you won’t give me half a chance
So there’s nothing you can say to me tonight
