ease your mind
ease your mind
pay attention to the world
look around, what do you see?
who do you love?
who do you hate?
ease your mind
(ease your mind)
ease your mind
(ease your mind)
except when the world around you makes you blind
except when the world around you makes you blind
do you want to live in a world where you’re blind?
(no hell no)
stay awake! be aware!
keep your eyes wide open
and ease your mind
media lying people dying
enemies dictated
do you see the love?
do you see the hate?
ease your mind
(ease your mind)
ease your mind
(ease your mind)
money and media it’s all aligned
money and media it’s all aligned
do you want to live in a world where you’re blind?
(no FUCK NO)
stay awake! be aware!
keep your eyes wide open
stay awake! be aware!
make your thoughts outspoken
and ease your mind
we must work together
we have all the power
do not fear the haves
it’s the have-nots’ hour
time for change no more greed
stability is all we need
dignity will show you how
crush the greed the time is now
stay awake! be aware!
keep your eyes wide open
stay awake! be aware!
make your thoughts outspoken
and ease your mind
(ease your mind)
ease your mind
(ease your mind)
ease your mind
ease your mind
ease your mind
ease your mind

not momentarily
not arbitrarily
i’m telling you i love you
but not necessarily
tuesday night swiping right and we match
she said “are you fun?”
that’s right gonna find out tonight
downtown at a dive bar not too far
from her place
i kissed her face
not momentarily
not arbitrarily
i'm telling you i love you
but not necessarily
i'm easy
thursday morning comes ‘round and you’re still here
in my bed
get out of my bed
you came in through the window
just sitting in the darkness
get out of my life get out of my life get out of my life
get out of my life
not momentarily
not arbitrarily
i’m telling you to leave now
but not necessarily
i’m easy (yeah)
i’m easy (whoa)
she’s freaky (yeah)
i’m easy
you’re a cheap love, not deep love [3x]
not deep love not deep love
[instruments perform]
i’m easy (yeah)
i’m easy (whoa)
she’s freaky (yeah)
i’m easy

Are We Connected?

staring at a screen
what does it mean?
everything is at your fingertips
everyone just a swipe away
are we connected?
living in our bubbles
an effervescent existence
will we pop will we pop
or will we stop?
Are we connected?
views are injected
no one respected
are we connected or
are we infected?
(bass yam)
views are injected
no one respected
are we connected are we connected or
are we infected?
views are injected
no one respected
are we connected are we connected?
let them burst
it’s gonna hurt it’s gonna hurt pop
let them burst
let them burst
are we connected?

Thank You

no problem no worries don’t mention it
no problem no worries don’t mention it
thank you
i wanna thank you
rushing living for somebody else
no laughs no smiles just yourself
crowding crawling i need to get out
no laughs no smiles just yourself
my pleasure anytime it’s alright
my pleasure anytime it’s alright
thank you
i wanna thank you
the meaning has been lost
disengaged with fits of rage you explode
drowning together feels like I’m drowning alone
my pleasure anytime it’s alright
my pleasure anytime it’s alright
thank you
i wanna thank you.
the meaning has been lost
these words represent nothing
gained much at what cost?
these words represent nothing
the meaning has been lost
these words represent nothing
these words represent nothing
and nothing
and nothing
and nothing
thank you
no problem no worries [4X]
thank you
my pleasure, anytime [3.5X]

Roll with the Punches

hey ee yai hay ee yai hay ee yai hay ee yai
stabbed in the heart tossed in the gutter
got better treatment from my former mugger
who left me stranded picked up by a trucker
she couldn’t have known i was born to suffer
when we fishtailed off a cliff
when we fishtailed off a cliff
certain we were dead
i looked at her and this is what she said
roll with the punches (hey yai)
roll with the punches (hey yai ee ai yai)
roll with the punches (hey yai)
roll with the punches (hey yai ee ai yai)
hey ee yai hay ee yai hay ee yai hay ee yai
on the mountainside she’s passed on
holy fucking shit i can’t believe she’s gone
then came a scary dude with a knife in hand
cut me loose and saved me from my end
as we gazed up at the sky
as we gazed up at the sky
we got really high
i looked at him and this is what he said
roll with the punches (hey yai)
roll with the punches (hey yai ee ai yai)
roll with the punches (hey yai)
roll with the punches (hey yai ee ai yai)
hey ee yai hay ee yai hay ee yai hay ee yai
[bass yam]
life is better living
embrace the days you have
sometimes you are in control
sometimes you’re not in control
roll with the punches (hey yai)
roll with the punches (hey yai ee ai yai)
roll with the punches (hey yai)
roll with the punches (hey yai ee ai yai)
hey ee yai hay ee yai hay ee yai hay ee yai
