CUT IT

We make the rules, God's our disguise
So shut your mouth & close your eyes
Stand up, sit down, do as I say
Like when to sing & when to pray
I'm not digging all that deep
When I say this world's full of creeps

I'M JUST TRYING TO CUT THE BULLSHIT
WE'VE GOT ONE LIFE & THAT'S IT
THERE'S NO USE LIVING FOR TOMORROW
WHEN THERE'S STILL TIME LEFT IN THE DAY
I'M NOT DIGGING ALL THAT DEEP
WHEN I SAY THIS WORLD'S FULL OF CREEPS
AND IT MIGHT BE A BIT NAIVE
TO THINK THIS COULD NOT BE MAKE BELIEVE
IT SOUNDS NICE WHEN YOU GET SCARED
DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT
ANY MAN CAN TAKE YOU THERE?

Say to my face I should have faith
I wonder how you keep yours straight
I'm not saying there shouldn't be
Someone to make sense of tragedy
But it might be a bit naive
To think this could not be all make believe


MARY JANE

Here's the story of a boy & a girl
If you've heard it please don't stop me, Mr. Jimmy has the floor
She caught my eye the moment she walked through the door
Wanted to make her part of my life but I needed to know more.
She left me speechless, I didn't know what to say
I didn't think about it I just started walking her way
Somehow I got the courage to tell her my name
I said Hello, my name is James. She said, "My name is Mary Jane"

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO
MY GIRL MARY JANE?
(NEW YORK CITY)
SHE LOOKS A MESS
BEEN DOING TOO MUCH COCAINE
(WHAT A PITY)
I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT
SHE'D BE DIFFERENT
BUT SHE'S JUST THE SAME
HER PALE FACE IS
BLENDING IN WITH THE CROWD

We used to drive around and talk just the two of us
Share with each other things cause we were the only ones that we could trust
Said she was moving to the city for school
I had to keep my jaw from dropping, keep from looking like a fool.
She left me speechless, I didn't know what to say
I cared for her but who am I to ask her to stay
She said you look like you've got something on your mind.
I said "Please don't ever change"
She said, "I'll always be your Mary Jane"

She's strung out & stumbling down Broadway
Desperately searching for the after hours
I said I'm coming to the city on a Saturday night
She said I'm gonna spin some records.
Come it's gonna be tight.
So I walked into the club & I screamed out her name.
She said, "My friends call me Janie please don't call me Mary Jane"


FIT IN

Don't waste your time staying up all night
Tossing & turning & wondering why
All of those in power lie

SO WHERE DO WE ALL FIT IN?

All they want of you & I is to quietly die
Slave away for the nickels & dimes
Pay your taxes & you'll do just fine or you're gonna do time

SO WHERE DO WE ALL FIT IN?
JUST AS LONG AS WE NEVER WIN
