June 14, 2013Great new song by Tim Heidecker – Running out the Clock
February 2, 2013
And wants to see us dead
They ask you to ignore the news
Watch the Super Bowl instead
Why should you be shocked
We’re all just runnin out the clockThey say the rivers are polluted
And the waters not safe to drink
But they try to confuse us
And trick us not to think
Better head for the dock
We’re all just runnin out the clock
Running out the clock
It’s the only thing left to do
Running out the clock
It’s running out for me and you
They say there’s guns and murder
And violence on the street
But they tell you just to lie in bed
And hide beneath the sheet
Think you’re sly like a fox?
And we’re all just runnin out the clock
Well they say the food we eat
Is not even fit for a dog
But they sell it to you wholesale
As you walk around in a fog.
Might just sell your stock
Well we’re all just runnin out the clock
Running out the clock
It’s the only thing left to do
Running out the clock
Running out for me and you
Well you can try for the hail mary
you can go for it on fourth down
you can pray the saints are watching
and rooting for your hometown
pull up your sock
after all we’re just running out the clock
The Last Resort
January 26, 2009Because music is poorly understood, Don Henley is not recognized as one of the greatest American poets. Here are the lyrics to the song The Last Resort:
She came from Providence,
the one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hang
heavy in the air
She packed her hopes and dreams
like a refugee
Just as her father came across the sea
She heard about a place people were smilin’
They spoke about the red man’s way,
and how they loved the land
And they came from everywhere
to the Great Divide
Seeking a place to stand
or a place to hide
Down in the crowded bars,
out for a good time,
Can’t wait to tell you all,
what it’s like up there
And they called it paradise
I don’t know why
Somebody laid the mountains low
while the town got high
Then the chilly winds blew down
Across the desert
through the canyons of the coast, to
the Malibu
Where the pretty people play,
hungry for power
to light their neon way
and give them things to do
Some rich men came and raped the land,
Nobody caught ’em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus,
people bought ’em
And they called it paradise
The place to be
They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea
You can leave it all behind
and sail to Lahaina
just like the missionaries did, so many years ago
They even brought a neon sign: “Jesus is coming”
Brought the white man’s burden down
Brought the white man’s reign
Who will provide the grand design?
What is yours and what is mine?
‘Cause there is no more new frontier
We have got to make it here
We satisfy our endless needs and
justify our bloody deeds,
in the name of destiny and the name of God
And you can see them there,
On Sunday morning
They stand up and sing about
what it’s like up there
They call it paradise
I don’t know why
You call someplace paradise,
kiss it goodbye

Posturing
December 16, 2007Sell out – do what they want – you’ll get a record deal
Talk about bitches and hos, work out 5 hours a day
Wear ten pounds of gold around your neck
Oil your muscles and flex while they take your picture for the album
Congratulations, you’re a real man
You’re a sell out, a slut, a man whore
Whitey has his cock stuck up your ass
Tell me how you like it – once you get out of the limo you’re hiding in
You’re worth about 50 cents
Never turn your back on your people
Never exploit anyone, and especially not your own
Bitches and hos? Gangsters and pimps?
Whitey is laughing at you all the way to the bank, blackie is crying for you
All I want to do is put a bullet in your brain
Some good music
