Local H : Hallelujah! I'm a Bum

Тексты песен


1. WAVES

We get set free in waves again.
We're saved again.
But no one rises up.
And no one wises up.
We get set free in waves again.
Jesus saves again.
We get set free in waves.
We get set free in waves.
We get set free in waves.


2. COLD MANOR

I was schooled in a cold manner.
They call my name
when they call roll call.
Yeah, I was fooled.
And there was no sadder
No sadder way, way to fall.
Looking for all the reasons why.
We're over and under.
We're running in place till we die.
And for all the reasons why.
You'll never win.
We're living that lie until we die.


3. NIGHT FLIGHT TO PARIS

Hang up and listen.
You found your direction and cut the line.
Night flight to Paris.
You'd rather leave than lose your sight.
You're done fighting the blind.
Some sort of surrender.
2 a.m. and the last thing I hear from you:
"Don't live a life untrue."
You stick to your story.
Every story has someone that they stick to.
You pay for your glory.
Everybody has someone they aspire to.
And I aspire to you.
But I won't follow you.
To live a life untrue.
Don't live a life untrue.
You say, "You're better dead than blind."


4. THEY SAVED REAGAN'S BRAIN

Now I ain't losy my nerve because I don't want to burn.
And I wouldn't say my missionary zeal is gone.
There's a high wind up ahead.
We've left our old for dead.
Our dancing days are numbered.
Yeah - they ain't got long.
Yeah - it's alright.
Yeah- it's okay.
You can move up through the corporate ranks.
No use running with the Chinese coming.
And I don't wanna see this world burn no more.
It's dog versus master in this ruling class of gangsters.
And I don't wanna see this world burn no more.
Georgie wrote a book and Sarah's naming names.
Obama's on the hook and O'Reilly's laying blame.
They saved Reagan's brain and there's bodies on the plane.
Our dancing days are numbered.
Yeah - we're going up in flames.
Yeah - it's alright.
Yeah - it's okay.
No one penetrates the Wall Street ranks.
There's no use running with the Chinese coming.
And I don't wanna see this world burn no more.
It's dog versus master in this ruling class of gangsters.
And I don't wanna see this world burn no more.
I'll see you in the slip.
There's houses left to flip.
No sense bumming with the payback coming.
And I don't want to see this world burn no more


5. BLUE LINE

It's getting hard to realize.
A sense of self in other eyes.
It's us and them.
Do people even know why their backs are up in crazy times?
The "we" is dead.
Trash fire bummers cry a river for the drunken boys and girls.
We're rolling by in washed up waves.
Back into your everyday.
Counting stops along the Blue Line.
Never shown how.
You'd never know now.
The places you return to don't exist.
There's nothing left here to be saved.
Just barreling dogs and barking trains.
Another year lost to the Blue Line.
Trash fire bummers and a river cried for every boy and girl.
Never shown how.
You'll never know now.
Give in to your reasons to resist.


6. ANOTHER FEBRUARY

Come on.
You're digging out your car again.
The chair left in the yard has another life again.
Another February comes and goes.
Another February snows and snows.
Go on.
Your February comes again.
The circle comes around.
The bartenders are down.
February comes again.
Another February.
Spare a dime.
Another February slightly worse than January.
Oh, God I lost the thread.
That goddamn battery's dead.
I can't kick the cough.
The heat's been turned off.
The family unit tightens.
You bounce another check.
The dog's a nervous wreck.
And I smell like a brewery.
A measure of my misery.
Another February.
Scratch for food.
Another February slightly worse than January.
Luck.
A little bit of love and...
Another February.
Belts are tightened.
Daddy's frightened.
Another February so much worse than January.
A little bit of love and luck.


7. SAY THE WORD

If all the world were innocent and true.
One flag unfurled.
A belief in all we do.
Wrong your rights.
A change from what you are.
Refracting light.
A billion tiny scars.
Stand in line - but if you want to run.
Just say the word.
On your mark with reasons not to start.
On your guard with terror in your heart.
Fall apart.
It comes as no surprise.
Fail to chart.
A gauntlet of goodbyes.
Hold the line - but if you feel the need.
Just say the word.
Bleed your life.
Your innocence will do.
Read your rights.
Believe in something true.
There've been times when you don't even know.
Ignore the signs pointing where you'll go.
Why you came doesn't matter anymore.
Just say the word.
Breathe - defecting from the ranks.
Free - elude the armored tanks and break away.
On your mark with reasons not to start.
On your guard with terror in your heart.
For your time you weren't that bad at all.
Sad you lied but no one's keeping score.
Stand in line - but if you want to run.
Just say the word.


8. COLD AND MANNERED

...And for all the reasons why.
We're over.
We're under.
We're running in place till we die.
And for all the reasons why.
You'll never win.
Believing their lies until we die.


9. TRASH FIRE BUMMERS

Trash fire bummers cry a river for the drunken boys and girls.
Trash fire bummers and a river cried for every boy and girl


10. FEED A FEVER

Heard the news.
And I don't hear no more.
Sell your views from camera 4.
Take your cues.
Another FOX whore.
You know who you're working for.
That laughing gas.
You feed a fever.
Built to last.
Like a cockroach high on laughing gas.
You feed a fever - starve a cold.
Fed your views.
An I don't know no more.
Sell the news.
New abuse.
You big stock whore.
Chained up to the ruling kind and their laughing gas.
You feed a fever.
Jet to crash.
So, keep them high on all that laughing gas.
You feed a fever - starve a cold.
Laughing gas.
You feed a fever.
Spell to cast.
Elect your witches and their laughing gas.
You feed the masses what you're told.
You're a fever - I'm a cold.
And no one's sweating you out.
You feed them full of that laughing gas.
You're a fever - I'm a cold.


11. HERE COMES OL' LAPTOP

You're lucky - I'm lucky, too.
A quick study - I'll follow you.
A turning table - a true believing fool.
A ton of able - I'll take you back to school.
It's always who you know.
They get you in the show.
You really want to go.
Past your sell by date - you're frozen.
Hey, witchy woman - I'll steal your curly shoes.
Tornado coming - I'll fix your little dog, too.
You wanted in the show.
You really wanna go?
It's always who you know.
Past your sell by date - you're frozen.
The need to be the boss - justifies the cost of each and every loss.
Way past your sell by date - you're frozen.
Get it out of neutral.
Make yourself useful.
Here come Ol' Laptop


12. LOOK WHO'S WALKING ON FOUR LEGS AGAIN

Look who's walking on four legs again.
I'm the kind of man only a dog could love.
Times are tough - but, man, this time it's tougher.
We'll all see who we are when push comes to shove.
And, baby - these feet were made for walkin'.
But I can't walk in boots of broken glass.
And, maybe - these times weren't made for talkin'.
So I won't answer questions that you don't ask.
Look who's walking on four legs again.
It's hard to stand when you've gone from scraps to crumbs.
Times are rough - but, man, this time you'll suffer.
Well, I say, "Hallelujah! I'm a bum."
And, darlin' - these knees were made fro crawling.
And snakes will talk to men straight eye to eye.
And, darlin' - these times weren't made for stallin'.
But red-faced and russhin' ain't really what I had in mind.
Look who's walking on four legs again.
There's no shaking hands when you're hanging by your thumbs.
Times are tough - but, man, this steak is tougher.
Well, I say, "Hallelujah! I'm a bum."
We'll all sing, "HALLELUJAH! WE'RE ALL BUMS"


13. RULING KIND

The ruling kind.
The warrior mind.
I don't buy your line.
The losing time.
The worrying why.
I don't believe your lie.
Deflated hype.
The startled type.
You're just an infant whine.
The great divide.
The kiss goodbye.
You're just the perfect crime.
The ruling kind.
The vicious mind.
Delete your kind, alright.
The leaving kind.
The wondering why.
I don't buy your lie.
The party line.
Mark your time.
You serve you term - you're gone.
Betraying type.
We're fed your tripe.
You're just a waste of space.
The smiling lie.
No reason why.
You piss on a perfect day.
the vicious kind.
The ruling mind.
Delete your mind, alright.
Delete your kind, alrightalright......


14. LIMIT YOUR CHANGE

Change.
Limit your change.
Change.
People like to limit their change

Change.
Limit your change.
Change.
People like to limit their change

People, people limit your change.
People like to limit their change

Limit your change.
People, people limit your change...


15. PADDY CONSIDINE

I ain't of the mind that Paddy Considine is one to take guff from no conspiracy of toughs.
In my mind I talk to Paddy Considine and it always goes something like this:
The kids in my hood! They're up to no good!
Tell me, Paddy, what to do in an age of no pity?
From that young Irish face to that dude who plays bass
they're bringing baseball bats down to stroller city.
I ain't of the mind that Paddy Considine is one to take guff from no conspiracy of toughs.
The bums and punks and drunks sift through my junk?!?
I hear stories about last night's meat train.
I never thought I'd see the day when the white man has no say.
Tell me, Paddy, how do we get our country out of the crapper?
That fat, pink fuck is crying on tv again!
He's got the persecution complex of a coked up rapper.
I ain't of the mind.
I ain't of the mind.
I ain't of the mind.
I ain't of the mind.
Well, it's a hot summer!
Someone could get hurt!
And it's a hot, hot, summer!
People get hurt.
I'll take you out first!
There's blood for your thirst!
And, Paddy, it's all just a matter of time before you get your ass kicked when you're walking a straight line from the bar to your goddamn house.
But living's just not worth it when you live like a mouse.
Am I right, Paddy?
I ain't of the mind that Paddy Considine is one to take guff from no conspiracy of toughs.
Much less some pussy like you.


16. SAD HISTORY

Maybe you and me and our sad history are gonna go and get the best of us in the end.
And maybe 'wait and see' is the right way to be.
To see if all this evil is just another fucking trend?
Hey, hello - where'd you go?
You disappear from time to time and I've been known to change my mind.
Hey, hello - where'd you go?
You take her up and fly her blind and God knows I can't change your mind.
Maybe I should see that you'll never show me mercy - and I should just cut the rope and let my body down.
Hey, hello - where'd you go?
You disappear from time to time and I've been known to change my mind.
Hey, hello - where'd you go?
We'll take her up and fly her blind and fall asleep to the engine whine.
Hey, hello - where'd you go?
I can't seem to walk away.
The debt grows deeper every day.
Maybe you and me and our sad history could mean nothing.
Or we could be something.
We could be something that's worth every penny that we ate.
Every little penny that's dragging us to the bottom of the sea.
Maybe you and me are over now forever.
But maybe I just need you too much for that to ever be.
Hey, hello - where'd you go?
You disappear from time to time and I've been known to change my mind.
Hey, hello - where'd you go?
We'll take her up and fly her blind and fall asleep to the engine whine.
Attention!
Attention!
Attention!
Attention!
I know you're tired.
I know you're scared.
I know all this is getting old.
Attention!
Attention!
Attention!
Attention!
But believe it when I say that there's another story left untold.


17. WAVES AGAIN

The charts and graphs.
All your epitaphs.
The blinding flash.
The market crash.
Your throbbing aches.
Your sobbing shakes.
Your swamp of snakes.
Your flags are waved.
But nobody's saved.
The spiraling rate.
The sovereign state.
Our Superman.
He says that "yes, we can."
But we're grains of sand.
We get set free in waves again.
We're saved again.
But no one wises up.
So no one will rise up.
We get set free in waves again.
Jesus saves again (again).
We get set free in waves.
We're waves again.
We're waves again.
We're waves again.
We're waves again
