Velvet rope
01:16

Made plans this weekend
to get together with some freinds
go down to the corner bar
where they made us stand behind a velvet rope
Gone-the aromas of yester-year
cigarettes & stale beer
With areas for special guests & celebrities
All the rest get behind the velvet rope
They've just added a line with a velvet rope
There's no ins or outs but there's a velvet rope
just gotta do our time behind the velvet rope
The whole neighborhood's being gentrified
time to run away or change sides
Yuppie forces are closing in but they're
just putting lipstick on a pig
Now we get to stand behind a velvet rope
gotta do our time behind the velvet rope
As if we've committed a crime-behind the velvet rope
It's a sad day in the suburbs
They got a velvet rope.

You need this!
01:57
|

|
Kinda neat-check it out
You're gonna love it!
A G-R-E-A-T opportunity
To make yourself some $$money$
Don't have to wear a suit & tie
You don't have to leave the house
Just harrass people on the phone
Or with a click of the mouse-GO!
Can't believe you're not all-in
This is right up you're alley
Just gotta watch the DVD
That'll give you all the answers
Then you buy the product
Stack it up in the garage
Now all you freinds have a target on their back
It's up to you to work it out
Rip-off at 1/2 the price
But you neeed this
Or you need that.

Another perfect day
02:04
|
|||
|
Tired, aching
I'll get up & do it all again
And if the stars align
It'll be another perfect day
Now I'm late getting to work
The boss has me trapped on the phone
But if the stars align
It'll be another perfect day
I wait to calm down
Next exit get off & turn around
Another perfect day.

They decided
01:39
|

I hate that I work for peanuts
It hurts getting out of bed
Just when I feel like I need a break
I'm summoned upstairs...
They've decided to let me go
Try hard to procure more
Harrass people to buy their shit
Then just when I close another deal
They decided to let me go
They decided the time was right
They dwelled on it for quite a while
They decided I don't fit in
My pittance better spent elsewhere
They decided to let me go.

Secret spot
02:10
|
|||
|
Sitting in the dark
Trying to find a spark
Shot of adrenalin
Get my motor running
So I can go get shit on by the world
Make it home, slam the door
Lay there on the floor
And let the feeling creep back into my limbs
I'm sitting in my chair
The TV's off
But the record player's there
That makes me feel warm & fuzzy
Tension melts away
Colors explode inside my head
Feels like a different day
My own secret parade
And I'm gonna sit here 'til the end
'Cause that's the little corner of the world
I understand & relate too
I'll meet you there
Wear what you like-nobody cares
Here we go again
Wake up & get out there
Just wanna go to my secret spot

Status symbol slump
01:41
|

|
I'm in a status symbol slump
My phone is older than my car
I'm so washed up
Just can't get my name on that list
Of everyone everywhere who has everything
I'm in a status symbol slump
Can't remember what it's like to be on top
Pick up the clothes that I love
From the thriftstore
Get sympathetic looks
Like I'm deformed
I'm in a bit of a status symbol slump
It's just temporary-Understand?
Please don't talk behind my back
It's just a phase I'm going through
Pretty soon I'll catch up
I'll be like you
I'm in a bit of a
Status symbol slump.

Carpool trap
01:28
|
|||
|
I carpool with this girl who's abusy-body
Her M.O.'s to hound me into a coma
Drills me for every little detail
How'd I get trapped in the back with this?
Trapped in the back
Holds this GIANT cuppa coffee
Has this crazy grin
I can hear the gears grinding inside her head
It's like waking up while having your skull bashed in
How'd I get trapped in the back with this?
Trapped in the back
You'd think she'd run out of shit to say
Be better off if I'da walked today-Trapped!
The drive home-that's a whole other nightmare
Like 100 years of torture & dispair
I'm trapped!

Part of the problem

Young man-don't take another step
Young man-stop dead in your tracks
Young man-we got some questions to ask you young man
Young man-were you up 'round the corner
Young man-what's that cut on your forehead
Young man-got sumpthin' under your shirt young man?
I haven't seen you before have I?
Young man-just tell us the story
Young man-don't make anything up
Young man-You're just part of the problem

Chinese water torture
01:59
|
|||
|
I'm not all she wants me to be
Her loss-my insecurity
For the life of me I can't figure it out
It sucks!
She spits venom
It sears my skin
Is that just a cry from within?
For the life of me I can't figure it out
It's soul destroying
I hate that I love you
You take the little things we do
& turn them into chinese water toture
I hate that I love you
You take a sunny afternoon
& make it a torrential downpour
I hate it!
On one hand it's my reality
On the other-just a big mess I don't need
I put pros & cons on a piece of paper
Look! I'm done
I hate that I love you
You take the little things we do
& turn them into Chinese water torture.

In the glow of the T.V.
01:35
|
|||
|
Lying there half awake
Food untouched on the plate
In the glow of the T.V. The world's gone insane
I try to sit back, take it in
Make some sense of it
But from what I can see
The world's gone insane
The whole world's insane
Sinking right down the drain
The world looks insane
In the glow of the T.V.
The world looks insane
