Down in Louisville, Kentucky in the whitest neighborhood
Where the people bet on horses and the chicken’s not as good
Lives an old decrepit turtle cashing corporations' checks
And the transportation secretary gnawing on his neck
Sending cops to kill black people, while the virus rages free
Why would you tax the rich just to save the economy
When instead you’ll get propped up by more disgusting super PACs
It’s really quite a shame that no one’s stabbed you in the back
People are dying ‘cause of you
Tell me, what the hell is praying gonna do
CHORUS:
Oh, Mitch (won’t you crawl back into your shell)
Oh, Mitch (let’s send you down to turtle hell)
Oh, Mitch (our country isn’t yours to sell)
Can’t we make a choice for ourselves, ow!
With a little help from Moscow, each November is a breeze
Now bipartisanship’s good and dead, so you do what you please
I can't seem to find your heart, I assume you're made of tin
You can't pick a fight with China just because they stole your chin
All these bills to fix things up are in your graveyard underground
You know none of this would fly if Merrick Garland was around
Stopping everyone from blabbing so your party doesn't fall
You all claim to be white men but we can't seem to find your balls
We know you only made it to third base
We can see the Cheeto dust all o’er your face
CHORUS
Lady Liberty may still have class
But she’ll gladly shove that torch right up your...(ahhhh)
CHORUS
Oh, Mitch, subhuman scum
Why don’t you go back to where you came from
Oh, Mitch, your time will come
Maybe someday we can make a choice for ourselves, ah-ah-ow!

Back to the Days
04:41

I used to think that I passed my darkest years
I thought I'd paid the price
I fought my way through all the anger and tears
With hope that I would have a better life
Well, that’s a place I’ll never be
I could never bring you on board for this ride
Don’t sacrifice a thing for me
The last place you want to be is by my side
Take me back to the days when I
Used to go outside, we were side by side
Think of all the things that we used to do
All before I knew I lived in denial, too
In order to get past the errors that I made
I told myself a lie
Those days were long ago, now I’m a better man
I thought that I could put my past aside
I had never been so wrong
How could I predict the days that were to come
I can't even turn to song
Where’s this cautious optimism coming from?
Take me back to the days when I
Used to play dumb games, I’d feel no shame
Think of all the plans that we used to make
Till we took a break, now I hide from my mistakes
I’m a toxic man, so stay away from me, I should be alone
I've turned into the man that I used to be
I swear to you that guy is still inside, somewhere you cannot find
Oh, why did he go, I'll tell you why
When was the last time I felt alive
Take me back to the days when I
Simply wasted time, it was so sublime
Think of all the things that we used to say
Up until the day that you finally went away
Take me back to the days when I
Used to go outside, we were side by side
Think of all the things that we used to do
All before I knew I lived in denial, too

Goodbye Misery
03:16
|

Paid my dues, feeling oh so blue
About you, left without a clue
So I’ve been changing, I’ve been growing
I’ll be strong enough to carry on
Now I’m gone, learn to be me
When you’re gone, but I’ll say it
Goodbye misery, hello new love
It’s been a while since you had come to be
With me
With me
Now you’re back to mend the cracks
Thought you’d take me back, but you won’t stand a chance
Cause I’ve been changing, I’ve been learning
That I’ll be strong enough to carry on
I am done, learned to love myself
Since you’ve been gone, my mantra now is
Goodbye misery, hello new love
I’ve grown to see the joy that comes from me
I’m free, don’t need you baby
I’m free
I love you baby, don’t need you baby
I’ve found me baby, fine without you baby
Hello, new love, it’s been a while
Since you’ve knocked on my door
Hello, new love, I welcome you
Sweet misery can’t imprison me anymore

In the Clouds

Oh listen, don’t you see
The world was made for you and I
You made a brand new me
With you I was a better guy
A change came over you
I only wish that I knew why
Now you’ve reduced me to
A raindrop in your cloudy sky
What came over you, oh, why’d you go away
Your smile always made my day
CHORUS:
Whoa, tell me, what did I do wrong
What do I have to do to make you proud
Whoa, baby, you’ve been gone too long
I know the answer’s hiding in the clouds
One day you went away
Just disappeared without a clue
You surfaced just to say
You didn’t want me there for you
That was our final bow
From what I gathered, we were through
I screwed it up somehow
But what I did, I never knew
What came over you, oh, why’d you leave my side
What is it I did not provide
CHORUS
What came over you, I have a right to know
It’s killing me, I don’t know why you had to go
What came over you, oh, why’d you go away
Was it just that hard to stay
CHORUS x2
What am I supposed to do if I can’t get this out of you, oh, look me in the eyes
I miss you, don’t you miss me, I think about you constantly, babe, you’re one of a kind
Please stop doing this to me, oh, don’t you know that I can see through your transparent lies
Just tell me what I did wrong so I can end this tragic song, please, I'm losing my mind

You Wanna

You wanna hold somebody close
Sometimes it’s hard to be alone
And with your love so far away, I'm telling you that it's okay
If you want to turn the lights down low
Just take a second, watch me move
Let's start to really feel the groove
And when you really think it through, we both know who you're gonna choose
Deep in your eyes I see the proof
Take my hand, come and dance, lend me your lips
Don’t try to remember, just feel on my hips
Don't you wanna
What feels so good just can't be wrong
What's bad about getting along
So with your love so far away, I'm gonna say that it's okay
If you wanna go and take me home
Won't make you any more or less in love
You shouldn't hold fidelity above
Holding hands when we dance, lend me your lips
Don't try to remember, just feel on my hips
Don't you wanna
So take my hand, come and dance, follow my lead
You have to remember, baby, you’re free
Don't you wanna

Cabin Fever

Well, I been cooped up for a long, long time, just going with the flow
It’s so easy to lose my mind in this room that I’ve gotten to know
Whoa, it doesn’t mean a thing to me if there’s rain or sleet or snow
Time’s never gone by so slow
Well, you know why I’m stuck in here
I got nowhere else to go
Can’t go to California, cause they’re burning all their trees
Can’t go to New York City, cause there’s no economy
Whoa, I’d head to Minnesota, but they got that bad police
Can’t even go to New Orleans
I know I can’t go anywhere
It’s all ridden with disease
If you’re knocking on my door
I won’t be here anymore
I’ll be slowly wasting away
What are we still fighting for
I can’t live like this no more
Oh, help me, I think I’m losing my mind all holed up in this space
I’ve been all alone for so very long, I can barely remember your face
Whoa, I’m gonna escape one day, gonna make it to another place
I’m gonna make it one of these days
You know I miss those olden days
What am I supposed to do
Well, I’m not completely alone
I know you remember too
Maybe you don’t remember me
But I still remember you

Rose-Colored Lies
04:38
|
|||
|
Out on his own and rain begins to fall
A man all alone, he’s waiting for her call
He can’t believe she’d leave his lips for something new
But her fickle heart played his, so what is there to do
He knows that she loves him still
Knows she didn’t mean to break his stride
But these are nothing but rose-colored lies
It’s been a while, he says he’s moving on
But at 8AM, he knows the train she’s on
Just like every other day, he sees her at the pool
Oh, what he wouldn’t give to break one little rule
He knows that she loves him still
Knows she didn’t mean to take his pride
Leaving him with these rose-colored lies
He gave her some space, he gave her time
All of this with hope set up in mind
That she’d see his heart and maybe someday
She would see he was just like the sun
She’d realize he was the only one
With her all night, with her all day
Oh, he knows she loves him still
Knows she wants to be back in his life
But these are just some more rose-colored lies
Seen through his rose-colored eyes
Yeah, they’re all rose-colored lies

Exit 24
04:40
|

As a boy, he walked the lonely streets
Kicking dust, simply biding his time
Lends a hand to everyone he meets
All in all, he was doing just fine
His home was in a sea of grey concrete
And the neighborhood was long past its prime
Naturally, his life felt incomplete
All he needed was a genuine sign, whoa
CHORUS:
Every time he tries to move up and out, he can’t get through the door
He would love to see the world, but every single morning, he finds himself on Exit 24
There’s too much to leave behind, so he stays, but he’s longing for more
Feeling tied down for so long, he’s just going through the motions, trying to get through Exit 24
He figured he’d move on from here someday
But he’s still living here as a man
His friends are gone, they’ve all moved far away
Getting out of this town while they can
Working 9 to 5 day after day
At the shop that his family ran
For hours every night, he’d lie awake
So watch out, he’s a man with a plan, whoa
CHORUS
Saying goodbye is so hard to do
But you know he’s ready for something new
Up on top of the world looking out at the view
His hometown and his family were all that he knew
Busy streets simply cut through his walls like a knife
Feeling like he’s just gotta hang on for dear life
He’s not ready for the real world, he just wants to go home
Such unfamiliarity in new worlds that are unknown
He can’t take it anymore, I guess he doesn’t know what to do
It was such a ball for a while, but his exploring is through, whoa
As a boy, he walked the lonely streets
Never noticing all that he had
His ultimate return was bittersweet
When he realized it wasn’t half bad
