This silly job sucks
My boss is a turd
Every time he turns his back
I flip him the bird
Got a tight little dress
Got some brand new shoes
Can’t wait to get home
And get ready for you
Gonna get myself ready
Gonna powder my skin
Gonna take you some places
That you ain’t never been
I got three kinds of lotion
Orange blossom shampoo
Can’t wait to get home
And get ready for you
Got some new stockings
And some lingerie
Don’t say nothing stupid
It could be your lucky day
You won’t stand a chance
When I’m finally though
Can’t wait to get home
And get ready for you

Huge and horrible things
Happen every day
I won’t try and hide
I won’t look away
Keeping it together
And trying to cope
With a handful of love
And a sliver of hope
I won’t give in
I won’t be torn apart
By the greed and hate
And anger in my heart
Keeping it together
And trying to cope
With a handful of love
And a sliver of hope
Walking up a hill
I’ll walk till I drop
The walk is all I got
Won’t ever reach the top
Keeping it together
And trying to cope
With a handful of love
And a sliver of hope

such a big man
you tell people what to do
you can scream and you can threaten
you can fire people too
personified destruction
a walking fist
knocking things over
to show that you exist
so full of empty
a monument of wind
a maelstrom of hollow
surrounded by skin

You don’t know my life
You don’t know my story
Don’t try and put me
In a category
You rag on everybody
That you ever knew
Thinking up ways
They ain’t as good as you
I ain’t hanging round
To hear you talk smack
You slander and smear
Behind everybody’s back
You rag on everybody
That you ever knew
Thinking up ways
They ain’t as good as you
There’s a million things about me
You’re never gonna know
Don’t try and stick me
In your pigeonhole
You rag on everybody
That you ever knew
Thinking up ways
They ain’t as good as you

The best part of my day
Is your smile
And your grace and your glamour
And your style
The best part of my day
Is your smile
Your countenance
Lights up a country mile
The best part of my day
Is your smile
Reminding me that
Life can be worthwhile
The best part of my day
Is your smile
And your laughter and your
Voice that beguile
The best part of my day
Is your smile
So won’t you set and
Visit for a while?

Got a shark from Gramma
It was soft and it was blue
It had some scary teeth
It tried to by me too
I wrestled with my shark
And ripped apart his hide
That mean and scary fishy
Was all cotton balls inside
“Whatever did possess you?
Goodness gracious Daisy Mae!
We can’t show this to Gramma”
I heard my mother say
Then I got in trouble
So I kicked and I cried
Nobody told me that the shark
Was not a shark inside
Daddy bought a puppy
To be my very own
My parents were frightened
To leave us alone
Silly silly grownups
Don’t they realize?
I know that my puppy
Is all puppy inside

Do you think
You’ll be safe
If you stick
Your head up there?
You should find
A better place
Before you run
Out of air
There isn’t
Sanctuary
Where the sun
Doesn’t shine
The world is
No less scary
And you’re gonna
Wreck your spine
It’s gonna
Hurt a lot
But you gotta
Pull it free
Don’t waste
The life you got
Pretending
Not to see

You had your chance
And then you blew it
A precious soul
Who loved you true
Lord only knows
What made you do it
There ain’t no hope
For fools like you
You had your chance
And then you blew it
All your contrition
Don’t mean squat
You got a lifetime now
To rue it
Ain’t gonna get
A better shot
You had your chance
And then you blew it
Thought you could find
Some greener grass
She was perfect
And you knew it
No one can help
Your sorry ass

Started to date her
Till she said “see you later”
I wasn’t even a skater
And now I really hate her
I hate her smile
I hate her smell
I hate the stories
She would tell
She found a new guy
Before she even said “bye”
Never ever said why
But I ain’t gonna cry
I hate her style
I hate her grace
I hate her
Stupid little face
Her love was misleading
My heart took a beating
And my insides are bleeding
But you won’t see me pleading
I hate her voice
I hate her hair
I hate her most
When she’s not there
