Here Come The Rome Plows

sad to say its over now, here come the huns - pick a side, or pick a spot -

here come, here come the rome plows.  why waste - your time - here come the

huns - be my date tonight here come, here come the rome plows - cal state - no

fun - stay put - here comes - to clean the slate - to pass the time - to erase

- yank crime - yeah we're on - the recieving end - i never been - dear heart,

dear friend - i never been on - the recieving end - not a scratch, not a dent -

i never been on - the recieving end, i never been

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

yeah i'd stoop to that.  sure i would.  yeah you been had.  that's how i got my

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

found yourself an asshole, find yourself the door.  ain't gonna fix your leaks

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
