Track Name: Fun Fun (Fun)
Basking in the sun, you step aside for no one
Who would have thought, you'd be the last one on the beach!

You're having Fun

Needed a vacation soon, or your job would be impending doom
Wake up, retirement's gone, you'll work until you're a bag of bones

But you had fun

Woke up from your dream, realize things weren't as they seemed
Pawned off all your stuff, bought a gun and blew your head off

But you had fun (you're done)
Track Name: Devil's Bed
wasted time here, all alone in the dark
actions breathe a different world from tales beyond the start
and if the mighty can yield, the foes that have been set forth
time will be the burden of man, legends test all their self worth

but the tide will rise, vanquish ships beneath the sea
there will be no higher ground that's safe for you and me
it seems night will never end, the only light is up ahead
a fiery island they call the devil's bed
we best not stop, or we're all gonna wind up dead

water graves from recent past, give me shivers down my spine
captain's orders to move along, assuring everything's just fine
some cowards jumped off, they're on their own, to the murky waves below
off to the devil's bed they go!
Track Name: Saddle Up!
its hard to be nice when you're walked all over
it pays to be good when you're trying to get sober
commitment's ringing loud in your ears when its time to come home
so saddle up the horse, we're breaking in the kitchen
gonna raid the cupboards to feed our latest addiction
the smell of victory has never felt better than now
and now we plow

the drawings on the fridge are bound to get lost
you'll lie, cheat, and steal, and you'll pay the cost
friends will come and go, but the best will stay right here with you
i tried so hard to get good grades in school
i tried so hard to be the popular kid too
years go by and i try to get in touch with old pals on facebook, but they think i'm stalking them
Track Name: Shoes & Breast Milk
i finally awoken from my slumber
it was so strange to me
after the disaster, i started to ask her
"is this how it's suppose to be?"

i'm a fool, i forgot
thought i was lucky you're here
and now i'm not
friends and foes
will help you tie knots
to save you from harm
or leave you to rot

finally escaped this gruesome outcome
and kept my hands pretty clean
i gave only the best, and you gave up on the rest
and now you'll see it on the screen
Track Name: Trying To Relax
you said it would be simple, that life is so easy
well i'm sitting here trying to relax, and i'm still clinching my teeth
seize the day, its gonna be wide open
pick my clothes off the floor, and i'm headed right out that door
to work for nothing, but it seems to be redemption
9 to 5 for 40 years, and i'll be lucky if i get a pension
but i'm gonna strut on, even though ive got quite the load on my plate
if i dont get outta here soon, i-i-i-i'm gonna break

we built this hysteria from the ground up
not everyone will keep quiet, and drink from the same cup of yours anymore

tell me, how many lives were put at ease
fabricated by this insidious disease
how many lives will you take, how many more

where's the sense of security, when families are enriched with poverty
you say there's justice, i say there's not, when protesters are being shot
but there's an overflow in jails, and the year is stretched high in medical bills
2nd mortgage taken out to pay off a loan, now its life on the streets they lost their home

work for nothing, but it seems to be redemption
9 to 5 for 40 years, and i'll be lucky if i get a pension
but i'm gonna strut on, even though i got quite the load on my plate
if i dont get outta here soon, i-i-i-i'm gonna break
