Do You Compute
do you compute - i think you do - don t need it proven, don t wanna listen,
don t need a tour of the pieces i m missing, as if you were put here to
straighten us out, and everything you said was being written down - you weren t
and it isn t and nobody s listening, and nobody gives a fuck what you go do
with your life
Golden Brown
i got a shingle and i ll guard it with my life, i m just keeping off the flies
- yeah i drank from the tap - shoulda left it in the pipes. this is my cause
and my excuse - i ll take the loss but i ll get what i got due. yeah i ain t
burnt - just golden brown.
Luau
failures in outer space, failures and crimes, lets get something straight:
s not for mine. before you were born, after you die, failures in outer space,
failures and crimes, it s depth - whatever its worth - it s in the unit to
measure the curse - it s in the set-up yeah it s built in, whatever the get up
- yeah it s buit in - wait til the rubout - wait til the purge - wipe the last
haole the fuck off our turf - aloha! aloha! suit up! luau! luau! luau! luau! -
kill off the tourist and we ll all sleep sound - cash-in their fillings & blow
it in town - we ll blow it on rifles, we ll blow it on drinks, head in the
corner, head in the sink
Super Unison
ready ready to let you in. up with the mob. it ain t no accident we re better
off. you re set to inherit what i got. you re putty now in my hands. you re
bloody now in my hands. yeah keep the herd in check or be absorbed. thats
all. yeah that ll happen next and who ll be there to write you off. bla bla
bla...
New Math

job at the underwriter s lab. you bet i sucked up. everychance i had. that s
how i fixed it. that s what i did. and now my knees are spotless and my legs
are crossed. and i needn t spread them. cause i can afford: piety, chastity,
charity, your company.
Human Interest
you set it up, you set it right, it s fair enough. al right: if i want a
loan, if i wanna trespass. why should i walk when you ve got wheels. when i m
in doubt, when i m in debt, when i m in deep at your expense. then i owe you.
i owe you. i owe. i d never make you suffer, i know that wouldn t do, and
that ain t practical, and i ain t through. when what i got needs fixing, when i
want something new, i know i m covered with you. your re my human interest...
Sinews

for you. ain t gonna watch the store. every last string and gut pulled apart
and divvied up / my share / trash man / etc. found yourself an asshole, knew
you could afford. keep your handouts - cup cake - find yourself the door
