1. And You Need Me Play
And You Need Me
And You Need Me

You
Tried
To get the best of me

You
Thought
That I could not see

Don’t call me your baby
You don’t know what love means
X2

Chorus:
And you leave me
You leave me
And you leave me here alone

But you need me
You need me
Why can’t you just let me go…..

Cuz you need me…..
And you need me

Was
She
Worth everything

Your
Love
Has only brought me pain

Don’t call me your baby
You don’t know what love means

2. Generation RX Play
Generation RX
Generation Rx

I am messed up
Feel like giving up
Pharmaceuticals
To make life beautiful

Anesthetize
A whole generation
But we still ended up
On probation

(Pre-Chorus)
Nothing down here is real
I just want to feel
Something

We don’t have to go to sleep (Yeah Yeah)
We don’t have to wake up (Yeah Yeah)
We can do what we want (Yeah Yeah)
And we don’t give a f*ck (Yeah Yeah)

But everyone’s a rock star
Courtesy of Phizar
Corporate TV
Has obscured Reality

Faith hope and love
Just aren’t enough
Everyone wants to be rich
And everything’s a sales pitch

(Pre Chorus)
Nothing is down here is real
I just want to feel
Something

We don’t have to go to sleep (Yeah Yeah)
We don’t have to wake up (Yeah Yeah)
We can do what we want (Yeah Yeah)
And we don’t give a f*ck (Yeah Yeah)

3. The Rain Play
The Rain
I am aware of the sun in the sky
If I look up it might make me cry
I know that you and I will collide
And form a star up in the sky

Chorus:
But the rain keeps falling the rain keeps falling the rain
Keeps falling
Down
X2

I know the clouds are passing by
They make me wish that I could fly (away)
I know that we are not alone
I believe that all that exist is love

Chorus

I know that we’ll be together someday
If I can remember to hope and pray
I know that you will come for me
And we soar through infinity

Chorus

4. Meltdown Play
Meltdown
Yeah we live in the shadow of a nuclear reactor
Where all the children seem to run a little faster
Yeah we live in the shadow of a nuclear reactor
We have to get out of here we have ta have ta have ta have ta yeah

My momma told me that it was a cloud maker
And we were lucky to see them released into the sky (hey hey)
My dad always told me that my life could be better
If I believed in myself
And was willing to try

Oh but we lived in the shadow of a nuclear reactor
Where property values really don’t seem to matter
Yeah we live in the shadow of a nuclear reactor
We have to get out of here we have ta have ta have ta have ta yeah

They said a little raydon in the water would be OK
Then they took our school subsidies and my dad’s job away (hey hey)
Now mommy is bi-polar and daddy drinks too much
We get help from the government
But its never quite enough

Because we lived in the shadow of a nuclear reactor
Where all our parents keep on getting cancer
Yeah we live in the shadow of a nuclear reactor
We have to get out of here we have ta have ta have ta have ta yeah

(V.O. with nuclear statistics)

At 13 someone, said it really didn’t make the clouds
It made me wonder what else my parents lied about (all stop)
Now that I’m older I guess it is ok
But sometimes my mind rages about the choices they made

Because we lived the shadow of a nuclear reactor
Where all the children seem to run a little faster
Oh Yeah we lived in the shadow of a nuclear reactor
Where property values really don’t seem to matter
Yeah Yeah lived in the shadow of a nuclear reactor
Where all our parents keep on getting cancer
Yeah we live in the shadow of a nuclear reactor
We have to get out of here we have ta have ta have ta have ta have ta have ta have ta have ta have ta have ta have ta have ta have ta have ta Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

5. I'm Gonna Play
I'm Gonna
I'm Gonna...(Live at Czars 505)
If you could read my mind from across the room
You’d be surprised at all the things I’m thinking of
If you could read my thoughts from where you stand
You’d be surprised to find out I think I’m in love

Pre Chorus
What is your name don’t tell me
What is your name don’t tell me
What is your name no don’t tell me
Your perfect
Your perfect

Chorus
You exhale-I inhale you
You exhale-I inhale you
You exhale-I inhale you
Into me
your touching the air
that is touching me

V2
Hush now baby please
Don’t you say a word
Cuz I’m not interested in what you have to say
There are bigger things at work right now
So ask your mommy
If you can come out and play

Pre chorus
Chorus

Bridge

6. Big Daddy's Cadillac Play
Big Daddy's Cadillac
Big Daddy's Cadillac (Live at Czars 505)
Big Daddy’s Cadillac

Making my getaway
The cops are after me
The desert sun is baking all the sense out of me
I need a place to hid
Got to get inside
But the heat on the asphalt is
Melting my mind


Chorus:
Ohhh, I got big daddy’s Cadillac
And I ain’t never looking back
No you will never have the satisfaction
I got Big Daddy’s Cadillac
And I an’t never going back
Cuz I, had to take
Some action

Blue and red lights
Have passed by me twice
At this point I think its only a matter of time
110 degrees
Sweat dripping off of me
I think i made the right decision
cuz I am finally free

Chorus

Bullits cut through the sky
I fan feel them passing by
And the air displacement around my head
Is frightening me
I can’t see a way out
But now the suns behind the clouds
And I think the break in temperature
Has given me clarity

Chorus

7. Divine Comedy Play
Divine Comedy
Divine Comedy (Live at Czars 505)

Did you buy your way into Heaven Baby?
Did you upgrade to a better cloud
Do you think that God plays favorites Baby?
And likes to hang with the in-crowd

Did you do good deeds only when others could see
Did you latch on to every name brand tragedy
Giving money to Hurricane’s and tsunamis
While there were children starving on your own street

Chorus
Hear them scream
Hey
Hear them scream
Hey
Ignore their screams
Hey
And you say
My oh my what a wonderful day

Did you buy a map to salvation baby?
Sold by the magazines and tv
Did you think that givin money was the same as lovin
Sit back and enjoy the divine comedy

You said you cared but it was a lie
The door to hell is locked from the inside
But you keep livin like you will never die
And lay deep in the ground lookin up at the sky

Hear the scream
Hey
Hear the scream
Hey
ignore the screams
Hey
And say
My oh my what a wonderful day

Bridge
Goodbye Jesus
Money is our new God
And as for your sacrifice
Let me be the first to say
Thanks a lot
My new awesome God
Is a mini bar and an escalade
And getting paid
furry things and Diamond rings
Designer pills and expensive things

I’ll still blame you when things go wrong
I refuse to believe I’m one of the throng
I’m sure in I’m held in high esteem
And everybody else down here needs to be redeemed

Hello heaven goodbye hell
At least that is what the preachers sell
And the clocks on the church bang and chime
Reminding you to repent because your runnin out of time


Hear them scream
Hey
You hear them scream
Hey
You hear them scream
Hey
But you say
My oh my what a wonderful day

8. Our Own Little Slice of Hell Play
Our Own Little Slice of Hell
Our Own Little Slice of Hell
You and I will never know the splendor, we were meant to live in
But being with you is like owning my own slice of heaven
So many chances come & gone
But the link 2 our souls still stays strong
And for everything I’m thinking I hope I can be forgiven

Chorus
Because we’re standing on a precipice
One of sin & one of grace
Where happy endings seem to make you fall
& if I had the chance again
Then we would be much more than friends
And live in our own little slice of hell


Verse 2
I’m counting on my better judgment to see me through
So please don’t take the lead because I know I’ll will follow you
I try & try to push behind
The rabid thoughts that cloud my mind
And hope that everything I know about love is true

Verse 3
You know I think that you and I, we could last
As long as we remember not to move too fast
I know this shouldn’t feel so right
But I’m not gonna worry bout that 2nite
Because I think we happen stand a snowballs chance
