The Pancake Song (Cavallo,Hill)
The Dawn Of Time
way back in the dawn of time
i cooked up pancakes nice and fine
cooked them up and ate them down
they were the best flap jacks in any old town
pancakes were the greatest thing that i ever did eat
i twas a tasty treat, no it couldn't be beat
rock and roll every night you can play some rock and roll then get into fights
go into the local bar and everyone they put the money in the jar
pancakes were the greatest thing that we ever did eat
it was a tasty treat, no it couldn't be beat

Part 2: Europe
I have a cat she is very sad
She has no tail and is very mad
It cries out at night to play with those kitties
and in the litter box she makes stinky smelly shitties
My cat she has no tail
my cat shes very mad
Now I had a friend who had a kitty
it had 3 legs and hes feeling shitty
so he went to Europe to ease the pain
and now that hes there all he does is complain
complain and complain!
he cant get no ass
he cant get no ass
he cant get no ass
its the same as if he was here
pancakes were the greatest thing that we ever did eat
it was a tasty treat, no it couldn't be beat

That Front (Ron Hill)
You just do what you want
your gonna roll right up and put on that front
and roll right back again
and you can say what you want
your gonna roll right up and put on that front
and roll right back again
now I remember when
you were the little fawning band
your nose following the fumes from those teeth
and I remember when
and how the blinking took you in
and then you realized
there was a certain prize
and all the boys they united for the rise
they burst right into the sun
they burst right into the son
cause now you walk around
your a jealous little clown
your pulling all the tricks you said you despised
your just a little band
with some little fans
and your selfishness will always trip you up
forever to be the local fool
the village idiot
with your imaginary hits
pleasing 35 of your friends
pleasing 35 of your friends

Buggy Grain (Cavallo, Hill, Purpura)
go where you can, where you can hide, where you can hide from the buggy grain
that's in in the walls, that's in in the seeds,inside the feed
its down the drain
its in the pipe,its in the walls,it in the stores
its at the mall
its where you go and what you see, its whats you, you want no one to see!
just where you are and what you do an energy that's inside you
a darkened man, the soul of pan, the mules its kicking all the rule
tear the door, tear gas its in, the burst of flames and the laughs of friends
they turn you in and turn you out the powders flowing up your snouts!
go where you can where you can hide where you can hide where you can hide
go where you can where you can hide where you can hide where you can hide

Magnetic Pulse (Cavallo, Hill, Purpura)
all my friends they are fighting for a stale piece of the pie
they set they sights and they set their sights and they lock right in
digging in with their knives
magnetic pulse
a silken jolt
junky hero man
he went lighting up the bums
and shooting smack
its the greatest plan
yeah!
Hypnotized by the medias lies those unwitting fools drops their jaws!
in ultimate pause a fashion plate he turned out to be a chubby flake
reading glossy coloured odor rags their reading glossy coloured odor rags
the greatest plan!

The Inevitable Letdown (Ron Hill)
you were weak and weary
and all the drugs they had no effect
your were waiting for your big break
but the handout was a big letdown
no longer a local clown but a well paid artist
so everyone they put their trust in you
you were the trusted one we did trust in you
and that lead to the destruction of all our dreams
on a time worn clock is a well honed scheme the dollar bills they start growing wings
copper wire covered in the piss of the beast
cause your girl ruled you and your boy ruled you lead on the big run around the inevitable letdown

Paint Into A Corner (Ron Hill)
Now look at all the ways we waste our time
we're losing our minds
a subtle indicator that we're blind
we're always running round too and fro
with nowhere to go
nowhere will lead us to a bind
nowhere will lead us to a bind
so paint into a corner painting a dead end we spend and spend and spend and spend and spend and spend and spend and spend!
a wiser indicator we're alone
polluted our souls
we're all alone no one to phone
the happy days that left us with no bone
with no bone!
the happy days that left us all alone
the happy days that left us all alone
so paint into a corner painting a dead end we spend and spend and spend and spend and spend and spend and spend and spend!
happy days that left us

The Awful Page (Ron Hill)
Its amazing how you kept reading her letters
you read between the lines and you didn't feel no better
and all the lines were copped from books up on the shelf
the printed headlines scream but you wont read yourself
its a verbal contest denial of the trust
its isolating you with splinters of aloof
unite as one pretend like voltron only do
the lions lie when they roar
producing only mews
and I'll form the head!
play a 3 note sound impacting all your thoughts
the fashion battle banish sand made out of forts
if we want a deal then we must keep up the pace
and if we're serious then we all must loose some....
in your social club united in your rage
cutting off your friends when you don't like what they say
but your a know it all and your empowered by your rage
so clicking on your screen you'll read her awful page
write it down take to town
write it down take to town
you must look straight ahead
just do not turn your head

Sacrificed The Spark (Ron Hill)
"...and he understood that if your didn't give the policy makers what they wanted, that your weren't a player. Therefore your views wouldn't be taken and you wouldn't be invited to the closed meetings. He traded integrity for access, and that's a bad bargain anytime in life...."
a living that is empty will haunt you in the end despite the cash
charles foster kane can tell you, he can tell you
"rosebud"
it was the smallest things that mattered in the end
drive down the road chasing dreams you sacrificed the spark for technique
and sold out in the end
deny your heart, its bitter load, all the glory, can return no soul
and you cant go back again
you cant go back there in the end
a living that is empty will haunt you in the end despite your cash
charles foster kane can tell you, he can tell you
"here under protest is beefburger"
it was the smallest things that mattered in the end
drive down the road chasing dreams you sacrificed the spark for technique
and you cant go back again
deny your heart, its bitter load, all the glory, can return no soul
and you cant come back again
you cant come back here in the end
thank you, your predictable
the way you always sell your lies
its lovable but your impossible
in all the realities that you deny
"now what is it you want,in you depths of your ignorance, what is it you want? Whatever is you want I just cant deliver, cause I just dont see it. No money is worth this!"

Hook a Brother Up (Cavallo, Hill, Purpura)
Gonna tell you people about a man that I know

he takes that train into the city everyday
just to earn his wage

Hook a Brother Up
You know it is not funny when you messin with a brother money

The Resort (Ron Hill)
thought that things would get better
cause I thought things were beat
and its rough out in the streets
now you know just what I speak
and the time keeps flowing faster
cause my friends just fade away
the loyal servants now the masters
you lost your needle in the hay
do you need a break?
from the pain and suffering of modern life
a simple space
where we can rest the thoughts that are keeping us awake at night
the worlds unrest
will not disturb the process forsake the grasp we will clasp
a resort for the peak of the human conscious class
an underground retreat for the anguished and depressed
and when you find yourself carded
oh magnetic strip impressed
well you bought into the best
the mastery of your finance
your when you feel smarter
when you feel you are the best
stick an arrow in your chest
and multiply your happiness
do you need a break?
from the pain and suffering that is your life
a simple space
where we can rest the thoughts that are keeping us awake at night
the worlds unrest
will not disturb the process forsake the grasp we will clasp
a resort for the peak of the human conscious class
an underground retreat for the anguished and depressed

Someday Soon (Ron Hill)
someday soon we can bark at the moon our feet will be on the grass
we're taking our time drinking bottle of wine
walking hand and hand on the path
they'll be no telephones no Internet zones just you and me and the dogs all alone
someday soon we can get us a room and the whole world can kiss our ass
someday soon I'll write the band a tune
and they can play the bass and the drums
I'll sing in double time and I'll stagger my lines
with perfect protools edited sass
I'll play my guitar
I'll bend the strings really far
record it on up and I'll send it to mars!
someday soon I'll write the band a tune
and give us a reason to escape from the womb
someday soon we can bark at the moon our feet will be on the grass
we're taking our time drinking bottle of wine
walking hand and hand down the path
they'll be no telephones no Internet zones just you and me and the dogs all alone
someday soon we will bark at the moon and the whole world can kiss our ass
