Track Lyrics
Unplugged Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In this bogus town, I ain't got nothing to do
Everybody's putting Kool-Aid in the stew
Thinking they've created some new kind of drug
They got their wires pulled out
Tell you, man, they're unplugged
They're unplugged
[Verse 2]
Everybody here is a mental case
Their eyes are staring out into space
Try to talkin' to 'em and I really get bugged
Nobody's home
I tell you, man, they're unplugged
They're unplugged
[Outro]
There's too many dumb-fucks
Man, it really sucks
Spending all their bucks
They're all unplugged in their heads, come on
In their heads
Sick!
Just Like Before Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My long hair, it blows in the industrial breeze
My fingernails grow down to my knees
The light that's inside me is just laser beams
All that I know is not what it seems
[Chorus]
'Cause I've tried moving out
But I'm tied to this floor
It's just like before
[Verse 2]
It's a red velvet world that you see with your eyes
You say that you're happy when you're wanting to die
Oh well, it's just like before, oh well, it runs in your veins
Just like before, it keeps it the same
[Chorus]
'Cause I've tried moving out
But I'm tied to this floor
It's just like before
[Verse 3]
Well, the sun's in the sky, it swings and it sways
But it don't shine on Tuesdays and it's cloudy all day
It's just like before, oh, when it runs in your veins
It's just like before, nothing will change
[Chorus]
'Cause I've tried moving out
But I'm tied to this floor
It's just like before
Man From Pakistan Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This man was walking down by the curb
He had lost his saddle in the mud
This guy was crying tears from his eyes
Part of his body was paralyzed
[Chorus]
I thought it was a dream
Strangest thing I've seen
Over and over and over
Until I think I don't exist
[Verse 2]
So I went up to him and asked him what
He was doing and who he was
He said his memory had been diluted
He said he once was electrocuted
[Chorus]
I thought it was a dream
Strangest thing I've seen
Over and over and over
Until I think I don't exist
[Verse 3]
He said he'd come from Pakistan
Where he was beaten by a policeman
That's why he walked, actually crawled
And acted like he knew it all
[Chorus]
I thought it was a dream
Strangest thing I've seen
Over and over and over
Until I think I don't exist
Summertime Blues Lyrics
5 ContributorsSummertime Blues LyricsI'm gonna raise a fuss
I'm gonna raise a holler
About workin' all summer
Just-a trying to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby
And ask her to date
My boss says "Uh duh son you gotta work late"
Sometimes I wonder
What I'm-a gonna do
But there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues
Well my mama papa told me
"Son, you gotta make some money"
If you wanna use the car
To go ridin' next Sunday
Well, I didn't go to work
So my pa said I was sick
"You can't use the car
'Cuz you didn't work a lick"
Sometimes I wonder what l'm-a gonna do
But there ain't no cure for the summertime blues
I'm going to take your wish
Gonna have a fine vacation
I'm gonna take my problem
Through the United Nations
Well I called my congressman
And he said to woe
"l'd like to help you son
But you're too young to vote"
Sometimes I wonder what l'm-a gonna do
But there ain't no cure
For the summertime blues
