I said, your good lovin' comes like the Summertime Sun, oh yeah...
You keep me warm in the day, but you're cold when the evening comes
Sing yeah, yeah, yeah
When it's good it's really good and I never do want it to end.
When it's bad, it's really bad and you mess around with all of my friends
Sing yeah, yeah, yeah
But there's something about you...
When I want to get busy, well you're too busy having fun
You're like an angel, you're a devil in a puzzle that has come undone
Sing yeah, yeah, yeah
But there's something about you...

Hey, we're goin' to a Shanty Party
Vibe is so hectic, sound is electric
The other DJ's cut but I'm the antiseptic, cuz'a
When you get the infection, gonna need protection
Cuz I'm your doctor honey, come and make me a selection
Cuz'a Once you try it, you can't deny it
My beat are complicated, no you just can't simplify it
It's a grand illusion, mental confusion
Thoughts pour from me head but come to no conclusion
It's a Shanty Party
Up on the mic, say what me like
Me wakin' all your neighbors up in the dead of night
Me come to party, me come to play
Me come to get down, so don't jump in me way
Cuz'a way up the tree, down to the ground
We all can skank together to the Monkey sound
It's a, not a song, it'sa, a celebration
Me rockin' it from the pocket then me takin' it to the nation
It's a Shanty Party
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!

You Don't Know
04:34

You don't know what love is...
and you keep on tellin' me, that You don't know what love is about?
I keep on tryin' every day to show you how I feel
I keep on tryin' and tryin' and a tryin' now
To let you know that this man is for real
And I keep a leavin' it up to you, but you keep running away,
Because it's easier to say that we are through
And the years go by and we are still here waiting
While inside, it feels so frustrating
We are both beat down and commiserating
What we need is collaboration!
You don't know what love is...
and you keep on tellin' me, that You don't know what love is about?
And the years go by and we are still here waiting
While inside, it feels so frustrating
And we can't spend our whole lives hating
What we need is emancipation!
You don't know what love is...
and you keep on tellin' me, that You don't know what love is about?
You keep on pulling us apart
You keep on pulling us apart
You keep on pulling us apart, every day
You keep pulling us apart, in every way
Puling us, Pulling us apart
Every day.

To the homophobe and racist man the time has come
When you must pay for the evils you have done
You must open up your eyes, you'll see only one
You must open up your eyes, cause we can take no more
We leave you hanging in the trees, swinging in the leaves now
Just like you've done with my friends and their families
Hanging in the trees, swinging in the leaves
Just like you've done so many times before
Many times before
Times before, many times before
For all the hatred and violence that you enjoy
You may get shot down with the gun that you employ
You must open up your eyes, you'll see only one
You must open up your eyes, cause we can take no more
We leave you hanging in the trees, swinging in the leaves now
Just like you've done with my friends and their families
Hanging in the trees, swinging in the leaves
Just like you've done so many times before
Many times before
Times before, many times before
Woah, no more hatred in this world
You must not divide by color
We are all one blood and one skin
Unity Dub... Woah

Trailer Park Love
03:13
|

It must be the idealist in me
or just the little things I can't see
But when my heart, you know my heart? When it got hot
I thought I'd give it a shot
With the Trailer Park Love
We never get a chance to push, no we start out at shove
With the Trailer Park Love
Hey, one of these days I'm gonna hitch it up and run
Trailer Park Love has a thing she calls guff
And if she hears it, she'll break all your stuff
but Trailer Park Loves knows all about romance
If she don't get flowers, she'll burn all your pants
I don't think she even knows
How many mangy mullet men she's ever known
But she keeps track of the pennies she saves
For a couple little bubbles full of silicone
But she get what she wants and she don't regret
She come up and ask me for a cigarette
And maybe, maybe it's just strange to me
She don't shut her mouth or door when she has to pee
But that's ok, you know that's fine, that's good, it's all right...
Cuz when she grabs me by the balls I know she really loves me
With the Trailer Park Love
We never get a chance to push, no we start out at shove
With the Trailer Park Love
Hey, one of these days I'm gonna hitch it up and run
Trailer Park Love keeps a bottle by the bed
for beating me off, if I ever act stupid
but Trailer Park Loves knows about forgiveness
Upon her last release, she spared the witness
You know my confidence is sparked you know
She tried to keep me hooked by threatening my life
Still I can't wait to spend another night
Sittin' sippin' something by the golden light
Then she try to tell me that I mistake her affection for anger
But when her truck haul champion nephew was around
She'd treat me like a stranger
But to her, it's ok it is a medical condition
Class is something, she'd rather not attend
Peace of mind is what comes out when the hot hits a telephone pole
Tv, Tequila and dismemberment can all sooth the soul
She's my Trailer Park Love
We never get a chance to push, no we start out at shove
With the Trailer Park Love
Hey, one of these days I'm gonna hitch it up and run

Attraction
03:05

Never was a good boy, but I was never bad to you
We've both done our time in hell for what we've put each other through
Now I'm broken hearted, and I wanna go back where we started
Remember when you stole my money, and totaled my car?
Well I wrote your name in the bathroom of every sleazy bar
Now I'm broken hearted, and I wanna go back where we started
Well, it's funny how attraction starts all over
Baby, let me take that chip off of your shoulder
and we'll learn to act like other people do
So, you tell me I'm an asshole, well baby sometimes you're an asshole too
We both should be dead by now, but dreams don't always come true
Now I'm broken hearted, and I wanna go back where we started
Cause, it's funny how attraction starts all over
Baby, let me take that chip off of your shoulder
and we'll learn to act like other people do
And I wanna let go, but every time we kiss
I feel that something that I know I'll miss
For every bruised arm, black eye and broken tooth
Do we really love each other or do we need the abuse
So, let's bury all the hatchets, throw out those dogs and cats
We'll stop all this fussin' and a fighting, baby can we do that?
I know it sounds retarded, but I wanna go back where we started
And, it's funny how attraction starts all over
Baby, let me take that chip off of your shoulder
and we'll learn to act like other people do
Like other people do

Simple Satisfaction
04:28
|

Cause I want simple satisfaction, whoah oh oh...
Well, I'm so tired of the fighting, I'm so tired of the screaming
That my throat hurts and I wanna go home
But every single time I think of walking out an leaving
Makes me cry just a little bit more
And the sound of the rain conceals all of my pain
And the tears are fallin' from my eyes
It's just another lonely road, another ticket sold
And another day of being alive
Time moves oh so slow... stress breaks the silence, whoah
14 hours to another show in the simple satisfaction
of the audience reaction
Cause I want more! Simple satisfaction, whoah oh oh...
So, I could quit my band and go back to school to satisfy with a 9 to 5
I could call up every one of my ex-girlfriends to a-p-p-pologize
And the ones that would listen would think that my position
Was sadder than it was before
Cause it's hard to debate, it's even harder to relate to those
Demons from the night before
It's like a sickness of my soul, music's my addiction oh
It's like living out of control in the simple satisfaction
of the audience reaction
And I could change the world, but I can't change my world
When I could stand on stage tonight, spouting simple rhymes and poetry
Which sounds a bit like me, to me.
So, here's to the memories and here's to the stories
And the rice and beans that kept me alive
Here's to all my friends that never would disown me
Though I drove them crazy most of the time
And in the end, I hope to see you all again before this
Big ol' world stops spinnin' around
Through all the fussin' and the fighting, the thunder and the lightning
No I never thought I'd make it this far
So let's dance to the music slow
Jump up or lose control
Life ain't nothing but a one big show in the
Simple satisfaction of the audience reaction
Cause I want simple satisfaction, whoah oh oh...

Would You Wanna?
04:03

I see you walking down my street every day at the same time
When our eyes meet, I often wonder would you like to know me?
Would you like to know which house is mine?
It's the one that's yellow and it seems to smile and say hello
Would you want to know what car I drive?
Or if I've got a bitchin' stereo
Would want to know what's been rollin' round in my head
Crayons, pens or paper dolls all bound with twine and thread
Now would you want know me down to the letter
Keep preparing for the worst, but it only gets better
Would you wanna know me, would you even care?
Have you got a secret? Would you like to share?
Well, we're doin' swell... we're on a little row boat in a wishing well
and every time I see you drift like leaves upon this guilded sea
I wonder if there's something wrong with you
Cause maybe something's wrong with me
Would you wanna know me?
Oh I, I know we're lost but we're doin' swell
We're on a little row boat in a wishing well
And every time I see you drift like leaves upon this guilded sea
I wonder if there's something wrong with you
Cause maybe something's wrong with me
Would you wanna know me?

Voice of America
03:46

It's got me sufferin' now, it's got me feeling so low
Well, you know what I'm sayin' when there's nothing good playin
On my radio
Where did my favorite song go? What happened to my favorite show?
Well, the DJ's lost his soul to the corporate control
Did I say that too loud? I think I said that too loud
Well, I started from the top of the sinking ship
I got 8 lives left, so I'm not gonna trip
No one can slow me down, I'm too busy tearing social walls to the ground
Because I've got the music, I've got the songs
I've got a six-pack of love, I'm gonna bring it along
And when you hear the sound, get ready for the party to come now
Are you ready right now? Yeah!
Cause we need musical intervention
And maybe, maybe, maybe, I just wanna be the voice of America
And maybe, maybe, maybe, I just wanna hear my song on the radio
And maybe, maybe, maybe, I'm asking too much
I think I'm asking too much...
Ay oh, woah ... The DJ, oh! Has lost his soul
Ay oh, woah ... The Radio has no control
Bring me the head, of the head, of the radio station!
And we all can sing
Ay oh, woah ... The DJ's lost his soul to the corporate control
Ay oh, woah ... The music has lost it's soul to the corporate control
Ay oh, woah ... The listener's lost their souls to the corporate control
Ay oh, woah ... And even the musicians have lost their souls
to the corporate control
Bring me the head of the head of the radio station!
The DJ's lost his soul to the corporate control!
