Way out west of Saskatoon On lonesome route 14 I ask the folks, with a picture now To find if you've been seen. A truck stop here, a diner there, A few have seen your face Those hazel eyes and slender thighs But can't recall the place. One more town I'll go And then my searchin's through. One more town, Even though I know I'm better off without you So drive on through the dead of night, Beneath the pourin' rain Every song on every channel now, It seems to sound the same And every verse and every chorus Seems they're singin' out you name... You left me in Vancouver, yea, Three weeks to the day Said you couldn't take no more And went to find your way The words you said that autumn night Replayin' through my mind My drinkin' and your dead end job You couldn't find the time One more town, I've said that seven times tonight If I have to now, I'll chase you all the way to P.E.I. So drive on through the dead of night, Beneath the pourin' rain Every song on every channel now, It seems to sound the same And every verse and every chorus Seems they're singin' out you name...

Lets go, gonna get fucked up Night Train Express, ya' gonna clean my clock Seven Fifty millimeter bottle o' wine Leave all my pains & troubles behind Smokin' cigarettes will kill ya', I heard it all before And everytime they say it, gonna smoke one more Just got outta work, gonna get fucked up, Cause its F R I D A Y, N I G H T F R I D A Y, Friday, Friday Night Kasey in the back seat smokin' a bowl, But look around the corner now, the fuzz patrol Didn't pull us over but he gave a good scare, Thank God that turkeys gone an' outta our hair But we get to the party and there's real bad news, Cause some frat boy fuckers went an' stole all the booze Guess you gotta take the good with the bad, When its F R I D A Y, N I G H T F R I D A Y, Friday, Friday Night -One more time- Now rollin' back in at a quarter to two And everybody gone except me an' you And I say anything just to get in your pants Well you're lookin' so fine guess I'll take a chance Finally got you in the sack and we're ready to fuck But your face is turnin' green now its just my luck! Holdin' back your hair as you barf in the bowl, Cause its F R I D A Y, N I G H T F R I D A Y, Friday, Friday Night

What's the moment Called when you realize That all things that you once believed in Aren't right and the world's not black and white? I hope that it's not grey But if that is the case I figure, I'll just go with What I don't know... Should you, would you never Won't you, don't you ever Wonder, if you had the chance to travel backwards Would the footprints smudge When you tried putting yourself A the scene of your last crime? I don't know... Did you really think that You lived in a vacuum Never interacting With the world around you Do clocks stop ticking when you're Missing a single cog? I don't know...

Easy Living 02:04
Washin' all the dishes an' vaccin' the floor Screamin' little baby, can't take no more An' then the husband comes home, an' he crash in the chair Doesn't even know that she's been workin' in there... She says boy you just don't know, How good ya' have it everyday She says boy you just don't know, How good you have it everyway Well it may seem bland, But you're gonna find along the way That you may move on, But ya' gonna wish that you had stayed Workin' in the office eight hours a day Yea twenty-four months and the same old pay An' then he gets on home, an' the gossip's the same So just gimme my dinner an' turn on the game He says girl you just don't know, How good ya' have it everyday He says girl you just don't know, How good you have it everyway Well it may seem bland, But you're gonna find along the way That you may move on, But ya' gonna wish that you had stayed I say boy they just don't know, How good they have it everyday I say boy they just don't know, How good they have it everyway Well it may seem bland, But they're gonna find along the way That they may move on, But they're gonna wish that they had stayed

On 6-2-5-5-2-0-0-5 St. Petersburg Rob did arrive Just won the big one, 34 All decorated with awards Vladimir saw his hand glinting And asked if he could see the ring An honor that he hadn't planned Robert placed it in his hand... Vladimir smiled and closed his fist Said I could kill someone with this Surrounded by the KGB Rob had no choice but to up and leave He said get the President on the horn, or Jimmy Bond, or Jason Bourne Cause when he asked to have it back Vlad said in Russian "kiss my ass" When Rob got through to the White House They said you oughta' shut your mouth Say that you gave it as a gift Cause it's in the nation's best interest... Robert frowned and clenched his fist I deserve a tax write off for this Surrounded by the CIA Robert had nothing to say And finally eight years now have past And we hear the story of Robert Kraft He'd like to have his rock returned But Vlad says it's the first he's heard He truly gave it as a gift A weird old man with a mind adrift In another attempt to smear my name In this international ball game...

Yea, just gonna be myself Ain't gonna worry 'bout nobody else Well I don't give a fuck what the people say I don't give a shit, gonna do it my way Gonna quit my job an' live it day to day All my friends think I'm missin' a screw They don't get my point of view Yea, just gonna be myself Ain't gonna worry 'bout nobody else Well I don't give a fuck what the people say I don't give a shit, gonna do it my way Gonna quit my job an' live it day to day Mom and Dad think I'm outta my tree They don't get what I wanna be My girlfriend thinks I'm a basket case Because I never wanna go no place

Loving mother climbs the stairs to a darkened little room Where there's three sick children and an overcast of gloom Drawin' back the curtain as they're dyin' from disease Sunday mornin' TV gonna put your minds at ease Give em' all some bread and a little bowl of broth Try and lower the fever with a cold face clothe She makes em' feel secure with every kiss upon the head But demands with such a temper that they never leave the bed The children only wish they could leave the little cell But she'll take away the TV and she'll give em' lotta hell A little bit of freedom just ain't worth all the strife To lose out on that comfort zone of watchin' Nick at Nite Yea she tucks em' all in and then she closes the door And then she lights up a smoke, before she starts another chore Back down in the kitchen add the Ricin to the soup And then a little Clorox for good measure to the juice...
