Baby You're Saved

Long time ago when we were young
And knew the universe was one
Beneath the moon and stars and sun
We always stuck together babe
Whatever kind of weather babe
We went on forever babe
And all the subways in your mind
Lead us to a certain space in time
And when we get there you will find
It's nothing like a thing you read
It ain't like the Bible said
The revolution's in your head
Baby you're saved
And everything we took as true
Was just another point of view
And life is round and earth is blue
Pleasure's pain and dark is light
Loss is gain and black is white
And everything's gonna be alright
But all you wanna do round here
Is stuff your face and spill your beer
Hit Grand Parade and score your gear
And pray you're dead within a year
Baby you're saved
Baby you're saved
Twisted and crazed
Spun out and dazed
Badly behaved
Vile and depraved
But no longer enslaved
To the things that you crave
Out your head in a cave
Or dead at a rave
Or riding the crest
Of your own little wave
With no need to shave
To wash or to bathe
Cause you call yourself Dave
And you live like a brave
With all the things we forget
And the things we forgave
And the trails that we blazed
On the way to the grave
Baby you're saved
Baby you're saved
Baby you're saved

Talking to Gug

Well I finally found you baby
Wrapped up in a rug
In the bottom of the subway
When I was talkin' to Gug
And the people may call you crazy
And the shit might crack your mind
But you're not a loser
You see what I'm saying darlin'
But you don't know what it's worth
Well I don't know how we got here
But we got here just the same
I was smokin' like a trooper
You were going down the drain
When a dirty blind old man
He come down off the street
Looking for gold
The Devil says: "Look out boy
The stuff gonna kill you when you're old."
And every time you look around
It all looks just the same
Just the same
We're on a loser darlin'
So we'd better get away
Well I don't know what you're doin'
But I'm doin' the same
And I don't know what your name is
And you don't know my name
But on a sunlit night I see you
Wrapped around a grave
Diggin' up dirt
We're all the same darlin'
So violently it hurts

Plastic Lasts Forever

Out of the blue
I see me I see you
Don't ask me nothin'
I'm sick and I'm wasted
Endless oppression
Possession obsession
The slaggin' and whoring
The hassle of scoring
Lying and cheating
And taking a beating
The dirt and the grime
The space and the time
Tumbling on
Till we get to the border
There's chaos, disorder
The bridge it is gone
Veiled in disguises
We take to the skies
Tears in our eyes
And a new spirit rising
Can't tolerate
All the bullshit the hate
We swallow and wallow
And die for tomorrow
Where sons are forsaken
And liberty taken
Souls are forgotten
And everything's plastic
