Jesus, for once in my life
Don't make me beg
Don't make me lie
I got nothing in my pocket but bottle caps
clack, clack, clack, clack
I got it like that
Look left, look right
I'm drunk again, you right
My tire gone flat
Fuck My Life
I feel like I failed
Fuck My Life
No going back
Fuck My Life
La da dee dee da day-o
Fuck My Life
Jesus, have I lost my mind?
It's always the last thing that you'll find
I got nothin' in my brain but bangarang
Clank clank clank clank
No gas in the tank
Look up, look down
I guess I live here now
My tire gone flat
Fuck My Life
I feel like I failed
Fuck My Life
No going back
Fuck My Life
La da dee dee da day-o
Fuck My Life
My tire gone flat
Fuck My Life
I feel like I failed
Fuck My Life
No going back
Fuck My Life
La da dee dee da day-o
Fuck My Life

Messin' around garbougie
Let 'em all know you're garbougie.
I see you there
Can't shake the morning off
People gonna wear you down
They're all the same
Don't let them change you
I love the kicks you wear, they
fit you but the diamonds wore a hole through the sole
Come on downtown with me
Let 'em all know you're garbougie
Come on get down with me
Messin' around garbougie
Garbougie x3
What's in your High Life?
Campari that's nice
Let's drink those all night
If you're buying
Hop in your ride
G'damn you stylin'
Your Crave Case pile is
Fallin' out the door
They never gonna get it
You never gon' regret it
Sippin' your malt liquor from Tiffany crystal
Come on downtown with me
Let 'em all know you're garbougie
Come on get down with me
Messin' around garbougie
Garbougie x3
You got champagne in your red solo cup
Garbougie x3
Brunch! Bagel & lox Beastie Boys on the box
Don't let them change you
I love the kicks you wear, they
Fit you but the diamonds wore a hole through the sole
Come on downtown with me
Let 'em all know you're garbougie
Come on get down with me
Messin' around garbougie
Come on downtown
Let 'em all know you're garbougie
Come on get down
Messin' around garbougie
Let 'em all know you're garbougie.
Messin' around garbougie

Gasoline
03:27
|

We were breathin heavy
I said oh my god
Good lookin, you're trouble
And trouble gon' get caught
I'm feeling courageous
So run baby run run baby run if you're not
My love is electric
Can't resist your lighting rod
My heart pumps gasoline
My heart pumps gasoline
Strike it, light it, watch it glow
Burn it up, burn it up 'til there ain't no more
My heart pumps gasoline
Sun came up that morning
Like it always does
And despite my warning
Sucker, you're in love
I need the sensation
So come baby come come baby come back to bed
My love's a libation
Drink up 'til there's nothing left
My heart pumps gasoline
My heart pumps gasoline
Strike it, light it, watch it glow
Burn it up, burn it up 'til there ain't no more
My heart pumps gasoline
Strike it, light it, watch it glow
Burn it up, burn it up 'til there ain't no more
Strike it, light it, watch it glow
Burn it up, burn it up 'til there ain't no more
Strike it, light it, watch it glow
Burn it up, burn it up 'til there ain't no more
My heart pumps gasoline

Through the Changes
04:29
|
|||
I found my voice
They said it wasn't mine
I had a choice
But choices are always blind
So far from home
and my home just keeps on changing
If I was alone
I'd worry and worry for ages
But you stay with me baby
Keep me safe through the changes
Honestly, no sages could've seen
You settling for me
Too many exits
I been waiting outside
It's like fear of death
It'll keep you from living your life
If I went out
I know I'm too poor to choose
You came around
And you showed me we've nothing to lose
When you stayed with me baby
Keep me safe through the changes
Honestly no sages could've seen
you falling for me
Stay with me baby
Keep me safe through the changes
Honestly no sages could've seen
You dancing with me
Stay with me baby
I'll keep you safe through the changes
Honestly no sages could've seen you and me.

They say it's not a lot
But it's all that I got
End of the month, we celebrate it
When ooooh, we just made it
They say it's not enough
And we got it so rough
Wen they start callin' us lazy
Ooh, they're crazy
All I can say is I know I got it made
With you
Me and you
Ain't no time to dream
When you're living your dream
But we been wakin' up slow
So whaddya know?
They say that it's not much
Cuz they're so outta touch
Well I ain't messin'
Those microaggressions got me stressin'
We gon' teach 'em a lesson
All I can say is I know I got it made
With you
There's so much we gotta do
Somehow we make it through
Me and you
Me and you
Yeah, we look good in our Goodwill clothes
We getting down at the local shows
We lookin' good in our thrift store clothes
We getting down at the local shows, come on

Clear Black Night
04:15
|
|||
Bought my last last pack of smokes with quarters
Now I can't afford the train
So I'm walking to the High Hat Club to make some change
He's always sittin' at the back,
His favorite place to settle.
He never looks up once while I'm up checkin' levels
He ain't Mr. Universe, more like Mr. Ashtabula
And yeah he turns me on
But he's straight as a ruler.
It's been raining all day
But it's a clear black night
Don't need your blue skies
Just your clear black night
A look of recognition and it's back to his magazine
It's all I wanted now I'm back to my fantasy
But now I'm moving closer and he smells of mesquite
He's a real man's man but not the kind that would be into me
Of all the words I had, I finally had to settle
Has anyone ever told you you look like Burt Reynolds?
It's been raining all day
But it's a clear black night
Don't need your blue skies
Just your clear black night
I been looking all around but I ain't seen a thing
That'll take him off my mind and I just can't tell him
I been sniffing all around but I ain't smelled a thing
That'll take him off my mind, no I can still smell him
It's been raining all day
But it's a clear black night
Don't need your blue skies
Just your clear black night

Hey Now
03:40
|

You got a lot of bravado
Mr. I lead you follow
Look back tomorrow
You'll be so full of sorrow
When you see I don't miss you
I bet you gon' wish you
Had a whole box of tissues
But that's not my issue
No more
Man I gave up, uh huh
I told you I had enough
Hey now, hey now
World ain't gonna stop just 'cause you ain't 'round
World just keep on turn' 'round
I heard you're down in Miami
Got yourself a young man he
Probably cannot stand me
Cuz you're still my fan, see
I can see you've been clickin'
While you're fixin' to love him
But your texts I been duckin'
Cause I sure ain't fuckin' around
With a man who gone out of bounds
Another man, another town, oh no
Hey now, hey now
World ain't gonna stop just because you ain't 'round
World just keep on turning around
You know it doesn't impress me
When you puff out your chest, see
I been keepin' it sexy
And you full of regrets, we
Said we were no mo'
Now I hear you in Soho
Telling everyone you know
That I'm still your homo
Oh no!
Scandalous man, come on
I told you just give it up
Hey now, hey now
World ain't gonna stop just 'cause you ain't 'round
World just keep on turnin' 'round

Get it all out, get it all out, baby come on
Get it all out, get it all out, baby come on
Gotta set me straight, it can't wait, gotcha up all night
Gotta get it right write it down if ya gotta
Get it all out, get it all out, baby come on
Betcha feelin' pretty high and mighty now
It's a long, long, long a long way down
Gimme more lies, gimme more lies, baby come on
Gimme more lies, gimme more lies, baby come on
Dress it up, spit it out, start a new fuss all about
Something old, something new gimme some fake news
Gimme more lies, gimme more lies, baby come on
Betcha feelin' pretty high and mighty now
It's a long, long, long a long way down
Dead tree with some purty fake leaves stuck on it
Set free but the lease we bleed upon it
Red deed hand shake behind your back fingers crossed, turn and cough, doctor the facts, boss
Let green lift you up and put me down
I'll see you in hell before I bow
feeling pretty high and mighty now
I guess I'm feeling pretty high and mighty now
Everyone's feeling pretty high and mighty now
But it's a long, long, long a long way down
Get it all out, get it all out, baby come on
Get it all out, get it all out, baby come on
Gotta set me straight, it can't wait, gotcha up all night
Gotta get it right write it down if ya gotta
Get it all out, get it all out, baby come on
Betcha feelin' pretty high and mighty now
It's a long, long, long a long way down
Now I'm feelin' pretty high and mighty now
It's a long, long, long a long way down
Everyone's feelin' pretty high and mighty now
It's a long, long, long a long way down

Roll Big River
04:25
|

Roll Big River, rolling all night and day
Roll big river and everything gonna be OK
They shook Billy down on his first night in town
And Dan got jumped behind Jewel
They took all that Joe owned, but they left his trombone
Now he's right back playing the blues
Well Gen and Marc, they had to park
Their trailer on the side of the street
Someone busted off the lock and drove it off the block
But they're right back ain't missed a beat
Roll Big River, rolling all night and day
Roll big river and everything gonna be OK
My band broke up, and damn I was stuck
beat down without no choice
But to pack up and move, get a new point of view
I got right down finding my voice
I dropped in on some friends back in South Bend
A bangin' rhythm section of pros
Instead of laying down tracks, broken glass
I lost everything even my clothes
But I just roll big river, rolling all night and day
Roll big river and everything gonna be OK
Just 'cause I ain't mentioned fighting I ain't inviting
You to pull one over on me
We carry bats and chains now, we'll beat out your brains now
Had enough turning the other cheek
It's happened so many times, can't get it off my mind
What exactly I'm gonna do
Just a little bit of torture before I report you
Send you off with the boys in blue
Now you can roll Big River, rolling all night and day
Roll big river and everything gonna be OK
Roll Big River, rolling all night and day
Roll big river and everything gonna be OK
