DO THE CARYL CHESSMAN
Complete immobility
Takes full grasp
Stores short of food
Car will be my target
For all my frustrations
Put a dent in the gas crime
Be Caryl Chessman
Do the Caryl Chessman
SOLDIER
It’s an honorable discharge
For the man in green
He’s back in the States
But he can’t shake his hate
Machine of war
Put to rest
Futureless civilian
Can’t be appeased
Soldier, now you’re older
What’s your identity, now?
Security guard job
At a factory
Uniform for uniform
But it won’t suffice
Stays in his mind
Flashbacked to the fight
So when the comps came to get him
They had to take him dead
BORED WITH THE BOYS
Put your female counterpart on a pedestal
Doing things you wouldn’t even do for yourself
Got your 3-piece suit, and it’s dinner for two
And you think it’s gonna be another one-night stand
But it’s you who’s gonna be another notch on the belt
Bored, bored with the boys
Bored, bored with the boys
Bored, bored with the boys
Bored, bored with the boys
CITY ON ICE
She said, “I gotta get away”
She said, “To find a better place”
Do you think that I will find it as well?
Thousands of people, frozen in the city
Thousands of people, inability
Do you think they even have a choice?
Try to move on the city on ice!
Ice!
Try to move on the city on ice!
Ice!
Try to move on the city on ice!
