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!
