Stoners are stupid
They can’t find their keys
Dropping cold cash
To make their synapses freeze
Stoners are stupid
Think they’re keeping it real
Spinning round their brains
Like a hamster in a wheel
Stoners are stupid
They wake and they bake
Losing half the day
Till there’s another toke to take
Stoners are stupid
Thinking squares are just haters
Crawl into a haze
Then it’s twenty years later
Stoners are stupid
Getting dumber every day
The older they get
The more their brains melt away

I’m the same old trouble that you’ve always been through
So why don’t you love me like you used to do?
—Hank Williams
Tell me what I did
Tell me what I said
How did I get exiled
And banished from your bed?
Never had the guts to dream
Your love would come my way
As soon as I believed it
It melted all away
Our love was like an island
In an ocean full of sad
I was drowning when I met you
You were everything I had
The fool who said it’s better
To love and then to lose
Never loved on borrowed time
And lost someone like you
Tell me what to say
Tell me what to do
I’d do anything you want
To get back to me and you

I must have been mad
I never knew what I had
Until I threw it all away.
—Bob Dylan
I’ve walked away from love
And hurt a lovely girl
I’ve turned my back on everything
That matters in this world
I’ve walked away from love
When it still had room to grow
Where it might have taken us
I’ll never ever know
I’ve walked away from love
I’ve run and I have hid
It doesn’t really kill you
But it makes you wish it did
I’ve done a lot of stupid things
Someday I’ll make a list
But nothing hurts like giving up
The sweetest ever kiss

I fell head over heels
When I fell for you
I felt like the world
Had begun anew
I fell off a cliff
When I fell for you
I’m tattered and torn
And broken and bruised
I fell out of grace
When I fell for you
And I forgot all the things
That I thought I knew
The bottom fell out
When I fell for you
I don’t know who I am
Don’t know what to do
I fell on my face
When I fell for you
Now I’m down in a ditch
And I don’t like the view
I fell under your spell
When I fell for you
Must have been the Hemlock
In your witch’s brew

Seen your phony
Ass around
Kissing up
And kicking down
Back-stabbing con man
Shifty little cur
Smiling like a demon
You slander and slur
Big house of lies
Cunning little plan
Lying little weasel
Shifty little man
A two-faced
Sneaky snake
Spreading discord
In your wake
Playing all against
Each other
You’re the dude who
Snitched his mother
Sycophant, con man
Double-dealing liar
Pouring gasoline
Creep away from the fire
Just another
Dirty, smelly
Two-bit little
Machiavelli
by Richard W. Bray

The knowledge imposes a pattern, and falsifies,
For the pattern is new in every moment
And every moment is a new and shocking
Valuation of all we have been.
—T.S. Eliot, East Coker
Don’t get caught in a pattern
Don’t get stuck in a rut
Don’t be ruled by a pain
In the pit of your gut
Don’t make a prison of the past
Don’t contest old wars
Don’t hesitate to open
An unfamiliar door
Don’t miss tomorrow for today
Don’t clutch the dead and gone
Don’t turn your whole life into
A sad country song
Be open for the future
It’s shocking and new
Can’t know what it is
Until it gets to you

The girl I didn’t marry
The girl who loved me true
Was a precious little angel
Just like you
I had a good life
But I hadn’t figured out
Who I had to be
Or what I was about
She never ever knew
She couldn’t see
She fell in love
With the man I tried to be
That’s why I ran away
I couldn’t get locked in
Now I’ll never know
What we might have been
Now you wanna love me
That’s not a good plan
I still ain’t figured out
Who the hell I am

I don’t care she went away
I don’t care the kitchen smells
I can buy some paper plates
I can live on Taco Bell
I don’t care she went away
I don’t care that she’s gone
a man’s gotta be free
and I gotta be strong
I don’t care she went away
I don’t care that I’m alone
I ain’t about to cry
cuz I’m totally grown
I don’t care she went away
I don’t care I was wrong
time to drink some whisky
and play a sad song

I cannot be
Your fantasy
I won’t make
Your life complete
I cannot fix the world
I’m not your
Pixie Dream Girl
I’m not a maid
I’m not a saint
I’m not a shrine
Where you can pray
I’m not your mommy
Put on earth
To make the ouchie
Go away
We can walk
For a while
We can talk and
We can nuzzle
Don’t forget that
I’m a person
Not a piece
Of you puzzle
I’m not a maid
I’m not a saint
I’m not a shrine
Where you can pray
I’m not your mommy
Put on earth
To make the ouchie
Go away
