Your trash collection skills are great, Wall-E!
All you need now is a mate.
Eva comes around and don’t you know that she could be your lover.
It doesn’t matter that you are outdated.
If you could only trust that she could never love another,
then you could go and have a date with her on earth,
Wall-E.

Whoah. Sore losers.
Whoah we are sore losers.
You left us crying in the night.
All alone and ultimately unsatisfied.
Whoah.
Last year we came here to rock this here battle.
Whoah.
But since you sent us home, we got business to settle.
And now we’re gonna set things right.
In our own minds we will not be denied.
Whoah.
We played the music tight, our set was mean and lean.
Whoah.
But those guys wore skinny jeans,
we could not compete no.
Whoah.
If we just bang heads together.
Whoah.
Make our look a little better.
You sent us home. And they broke up.

Powerlines
02:00

I look up there to see the towers up high,
looming down from atop the mountainside.
They’re aligned in a path stretched out wide,
connected by thick black powerlines.
And I could make a point about the environment.
And I could make a point about the cost of our convenient lives.
When I was a boy I hiked from tower to tower.
Could get to town in a little less then an hour.
I can still hear the sound of all that power
Electric humming amongst the flowers.
…but I can’t no I won’t.
I just wanna turn my mind off.
Sitting on a hill, looking at a mountain
thinking about our lives among the powerlines.

Staring at the Sun
04:16
|
|||
|
Count back by 7’s.
Start at 111.
We’ll keep it going until those feelings end.
When you can breathe,
if you would like to talk to me,
then by all means I’d love to hear your story.
Everybody I know
would love to live someone else’s life sometimes.
But at this moment,
I’m afraid we’re just gonna have to live
our own lives tonight.
(Like staring at the sun. Look away you’ve had enough. It’s time we live our own lives.)
And I’ve heard it all
so many wounds within us all.
All I’m asking is we try to trust
that we can make it not hurt so much.
Things in life are not so black and white.
Flex your mind to get it right.
Sorrow is as dark as joy is bright.
Hold ‘em both, let’s not minimize.
Not seeing it wrong just incomplete.
I believe in bittersweet.
Please don’t take this the wrong way,
I just want you to go away.
For I know that will be the day
that you don’t need me.

I had a dream I was the man who would rescue her from them.
All of the bad men with the guns were dead the moment they kidnapped my love.
I will destroy you if you mess with her.
It will be like Die Hard but even worse.
They shot me down at the base of the stairs.
They took my love and tied her to a chair.
I fought through them up to the boss
me and his men in a final standoff.
“So what’s it gonna be, the easy or hard way?
I know which one you’ll choose ‘cause I know you’re a smart guy.
You don’t wanna go and make me mad.
I just killed 30 men in a hand-to-hand combat.
I gotta bazooka on my back.
If you move another inch you’ll all go kersplat.
So put down your weapons, give me the girl,
and we’ll get away on this helicopter.”

Get After It
01:03
|

Whenever I hang out with you
I do things I don’t normally do like stay up
playing Yatzee ‘til the sun comes up
so let’s go get after it.
When we get up we’ll go get brunch
not quite breakfast or lunch yet so good.
Breakfast meat all you can eat
so let’s go get after it.
Whoah.
Yeah we like our friends but we don’t need to make a band about it.
Whoah.
Just one song to get along so we don’t cancel any shows.
Real best friends are better than bands!
It’s cool if you’re straight or gay.
It’s just plutonic anyway,
so please don’t take my drift that way.
All I’m trying to say is complicated.

Tell Madonna now I’m a real man.
Got Cialis 20 mg.
I use performance-enhancing drugs for sex.
HGH and ‘roids for the rest.
Whoah.
I got a centaur painting above my bed
with my own head on it.
Whoah.
‘Cause I’m the very best who ever lived
now don’t you forget it.
Tell Kate I can really work third base.
See the look of awe upon her face.
But I’m more of a homerun kind of man.
That’s why they paid him 300 million.
Bigger, faster, stronger, longer.
I am A-Rod.
I know that you have seen me
with Cameron Diaz
at the Superbowl feeding me.

A Loud Opinion

He got a loud opinion.
He’ll tell you what it is.
And if you don’t agree with him then you’re an idiot.
If your views are different,
they’re evil in his mind.
So he can be an ass to you
and think he’s justified.
A really loud opinion.
You!
Hear my loud opinion.
She got the one true worldview.
She’ll stamp it on your mind.
And if you resist she will
only yell harder next time.
How can we take seriously what you say
when you can’t talk to me with dignity?
So I’ll wait for you to calm down.
Fox News, we’re talking to you.
Beck and Palin, especially you.
Hey dad, we’re talking to you.
And self, we’re including you.

Too Many Elephants

Have you heard Phil’s gay?
He came out the other day.
He didn’t need to tell me,
‘cause I knew already.
His uncle Dan is a freakin’ bigot.
When he’s an idiot no one confronts him.
So many are silent
content to never talk about the gays among us,
let ‘em be someone else’s problem.
But to me it’s obvious.
So let us all just go ahead and flick off Dan
then go hang out with Phil and his boyfriend.
It shouldn’t be so controversial.
Phil tried goin’ straight,
but it gave him a headache
dating a lady to avoid ignorant hate.
All of these bullies,
they’re watching the TV,
learning to be mean from Bill O’Reilly.
What’s with all these assholes throwing stones?
I thought they were supposed to be nice.
They claim to follow Jesus Christ.
Too many invisible elephants in the room.

Billy Dreamer
01:58

Staring up at the night sky,
trying to spot the Big Dipper
through the city lights
reminding me of times when life was simpler.
I trip and fall on the sidewalk.
I cut my chin and skin my face,
‘cause I can’t watch where I am walking
with my head up there in space.
I am Billy Dreamer.
This world is a black hole of need.
I don’t wanna get sucked into it.
Or am I just making excuses?
Maybe I should jump into it.
If all that time spent in my head
were used to do some stuff instead,
imagine all that I could do
to care for me and care for you.

Adrenaline

My heart skips a beat
but returns to me when I find out you’re ok.
The fox at night.
He’s crying like he might come out of the dark.
So much in life worth living for.
You my love make it so much more.
From the skies to the forest floor.
We’re a pack for evermore.
My heart skips a beat
when you come to me from the other side of the street.
The truck headlights are flying
like they might not stop in time.
Be alright!
As long as you are safe, we’ll be alright.
Evermore.
Thank you for never getting mad at me.
I wish that I could take you with me every time I leave.
You know that I’m sorry.
When you look at me the way you do,
I know that you can see right through me.
So I know you know I mean it when I say: I’m sorry.
