COME TOMORROW
written by Ugly Kid Joe and Roger Lahr
About the
time I'm eight years old
I met the devil, kept my soul
Walkin' out on lakes of fire and I'm gone
Walkin' in a wonderland
And I don't really understand
The place I'm comin' to right now today
Come tomorrow, you could see the light
Come tomorrow, break it right down to the place you were before
Fifteen years on down the line
I guess you'd say I'm doin' fine
Wandering down that same old road again
Walkin' in her wonderland
But Alice doesn't understand
The place she's comin' to right now today
Come tomorrow, you could see the light
Come tomorrow, break it right down to the place you were before
Move a little slower
You yome a little faster, honey
On your knees, you'll be beggin' me please
As you feel the disease
You're goin' down again tonight
See me runnin', watch me fall
I guess you'd say I've finally found my own,
See me cryin' and wonder why
I guess you'd say its time to die today
Come tomorrow, you could see the light
Come tomorrow, break it right down to the place you were before
PANHANDLIN'
PRINCE
Sittin'
on a rusty park bench baby
Not much else to do
Smoke cigarettes and drink my Mickey's
Fine malt liquor brew
As I start drinkin' and I start thinkin'
That death is on my side
If my heart stopped beatin', the street kept reekin'
That's suicide... that's right
I grew up in the inner city
A dark part of this town
just another innoncent backwoods victim
Society like to put down
You can call me a boozer, or call me a loser
It really doesn't matter to me
I got a bench for snoozin', some sauce to keep boozin'
That's all I need
I keep it comin', sometimes don't know why
I'm gonna do it 'til the day I die
Consider me the duke as I dine in your dumpster
Unsanitary engineer
Baron of the bench the panhandlin' master
Well, I'm pullin' twenty G's a year
I know it ain't much but at least I'm in touch, yeah
With reality
I wouldn't trade no places to be in rat races
No siree
I keep it comin', sometimes don't know why
I'm gonna do it 'til the day I die
Yo, Mr. Trump, can I ask you a question
You got some spare change for me sucker
'Cause I'm down and out and there ain't no doubt
That I am here to stay
Yeah you see me with my brothers
Lyin' in the gutter with my paper bag in hand
Yeah the streets are cold but at least
There's soul all I need
You'll take away my peace of mind
You'll leave me there to rot and die
But look again, my careless frind
The world you live is just a lie
It's a give and take, the more the fake
The more the pain, the more you lose
So live your life, don't take no sides
N' seize the day and drink your booze
BUSY BEE
Everybody's
alright with me
Possibly you'll disagree
Busy bee watch the world go by
Everybody's alright with me
That's just the way I choose to be
Everybody's on my mind
Can't sit aside and watch his world go by
That ain't me
Busy Bee watch the world go by
Everybody does their time
The people walk in crooked lines
Everybody's got their choice
But often we don't use our voice
Busy Bee watch the world go by
How could you be so blind
Some people they just ain't satisfied
Watch the world go by
I always hear the school bell ring
Let the children dance and sing
Just let us find what's been lost
So many people get torn and tossed away
Busy Bee watch the world go by
Everybody's alright with me
DON'T GO
written by Ugly Kid Joe and Eric Phillips
This time,

Last time, last time I hate you
Next time, ohhhh I need you
Baby please me don't go
Remember when I met you
School dress on
I never could forget you
And Baby now you're gone
I'm goin' around, around today
Just trying to find the truth
It doesn't really matter anyway
When I'm living without you
This time, this time I love you
Last time, last time I hate you
Next time, ohhhh I need you
Baby please me don't go
I said come on little darlin'
Baby don't you see
I'd never do you harmin', no
It's just you and me
I'm on the corner right now
Waiting for your love
You better make your choice now
Before a push comes to a shove
Yeah things seem kinda different
It ain't the way it was
Remember what your mama said
The bond that lies in us
This time, this time I love you
Last time, last time I hate you
Next time, ohhhh I need you
Baby please don't go
This time, this time I love you
Last time, last time I hate you
Next time, yeah I need you
Baby please don't go
I'm by the phone, I'm all alone
Just waitin' and a prayin' that maybe you'll call
I gotta know right now, should I stay around, should I stay a while
Should I stand here crying or baby should I fly - yeah !
Oh come on darlin', Don't you see and don't you know
I gotta have your lovin', now now I'll never let ya go
I'm lookin' round and round
Tryin' to find that girl of mine
She's so far away
And I am cryin' - yeah
SO DAMN
COOL
I wanna
know, why the people are everywhere
and I wanna know, where to go if I get scared
and I wanna be, in a place where no one cares
and I wanna know you
Because you're so damn cool
Yeah so damn cool
I wanna feel like I'm floatin' in the air
and I wanna know if the sun's gonna bleach my hair
and I wanna know, why life's just so unfair
and I wanna know you
Because you're so damn cool
Yeah, you're so damn cool
So damn cool
Who knows what I'm feelin' inside me
Who knows if I'm feelin' all right
Who knows what I'm feelin' inside of me
Who knows what is runnin' around in my brain
Now that I'm done and I seen it
Don't think I' tryin' to complain
Don't think I'm lyin' cause I mean it
n' all you people don't look at me to lay
all of your blame 'cause you need me
And you want me to go down with the rest
It's just that I'm sick of denyin'
What is runnin' around in my brain
SAME SIDE
I am looking
for you
I have seen the light
I am the fire
Without the one
There can only be you, my child
It doesn't matter who you are
Or what you're gonna be
People from all walks of life
You gotta have diversity
We're all in this together
And together we shall be
You gotta be a friendly neighbor
If you're gonna live next to me
We're all
Livin' on the same side
Same side of town
Walkin' down the same streets
The streets that are all around
You could be my brother
Or you could be my friend
But don't turn your back on me
Cause we'll be here 'til the end
We're all in this together
And we all have that dream
To live in perfect harmony
Like a family that's the scene
Yeah, we're all
Livin' on the same side
Same side of town
Walkin' down the same streets
The streets that are all around
Livin' on the same side
Same side of town
Shufflin' to the same beat
The beat that's all around
Stumblin' down on D.P., keggers all around,
Laughin' at the police as they try to take us down
Hangin' with each other, yeah hangin' with our bro's
We all love one another, from our heads down to our toes
CATS IN
THE CRADLE
written by H.Chapin and S.Chapin
My child
arrived just the other day
Came to the world in the usually way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
He was talkin' 'fore I knew it
And as he grew he said
"I'm gonna be like you, Dad
You know I'm gonna be like you"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man 'n the moon
"When you comin' home"
"Son, I don't know when
We'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then"
Well, my son turned ten just the other day
He said , "Thanks for the ball, Dad. Come on, let's play
Could you teach me to throw ?" I said, "Not today
I got a lot to do." He said, "That's okay"
And he walked away and he smiled and he said
"You know
I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like you"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man 'n the moon
"When you comin' home"
"Son, I don't know when
We'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then"
Well, he came from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"I'm proud of you. Could you sit for a while"
He shook his head and he said with a smile
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later. Can I have them please"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man 'n the moon
"When you comin' home, Son"
"I don't know when
We'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then"
I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
"I'd like to see you, if you don't mind"
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I could find the time
You see my new job's a hassle and the kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talkin' to you, Dad
It's been sure nice talkin' to you"
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man 'n the moon
"When you comin' home"
"Son, I don't know when
We'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man 'n the moon
"When you comin' home"
"Son, I don't know when
We'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then"
I'LL KEEP
TRYIN'
written by Ugly Kid Joe and Alan Reed
If I had
the time and lotsa money
Then I'd take you 'round the world
'N' if I had a dime for every penny
Then I'd buy you diamonds girl
You don't even know how much I love you
And how much I wanna be
Your knight in shinin' armor, yeah, baby
That's good enough for me
And I'll keep tryin'
Yeah I'll keep tryin', to make you mine, mine all mine
I hope you're buyin', I hope you're buyin'
All of my lines
Now if I was the kind and had a castle
Then you'd surely be my queen
we would live up in the tallest tower
And we reraly would be seen
You don't even know how much I need you
And how much you mean to me
I'm a dog without a bone hear me cryin'
and it's time for you to see that
And I'll keep tryin'
Yeah I'll keep tryin', to make you mine, mine all mine
I hope you're buyin', I hope you're buyin'
All of my lines
EVERYTHING
ABOUT YOU
written by Klaus Eichstadt and Whitfield Crane
I, hate
the rain and sunny weather
and I, hate the beach and moutains too
and I don't like a thing about the city, no, no
and I, I, I, hate the country side too
and I, hate everything about you
everything about you
I don't like a thing about your mother
and I, I hate your daddy's guts too
I don't like a thing about your sister, no, no
'cause I, I, I, think sex is overrated too
and I, get sick when I'm around
I, can't stand to be around
I, hate everything about you
everything about you
everything about you
everything about you
Some say I got a bad attitude
but that don't change the way I feel about you
If you think all this might be bringing me down
look again cause I ain't wearin' no frown
I don't really care about your sister
forget the little bitch 'cause I already kissed her
One thing that I did to your lady
put her on the bed and she didn't say maybe
I know you know everybody knows
the way it comes, the way it goes
you think it's sad well that's too bad
'cause I'm havin' a ball and never cared a thing about you
Everything about you, everything about
I get sick when I'm around
I can't stand to be around
I hate everything about you

Got you by the noose, have his way with you
