Driving in the fast lane with your left blinker on Holding up the elevator when I want to get down Tell me ‘bout your dream last night And it's 20 minutes long Bringing in some attitude check it at the door Ain't nobody got time for that, no Ain't nobody got time Ain't nobody got time for that, no Ain't nobody got time Chore boy out the door and I need to mow the lawn Half a of coffee left all the rest is gone Don’t put the tools away then the job’s not done Going to a work party that don't count as fun Ain't nobody got time for that, no Ain't nobody got time Ain't nobody got time for that, no Ain't nobody got time All the people break my balls and try to bring me down Mayor, judge and jury, bunch of fucking clowns Talk under your breath to me then I turn around, you're gone Take me to the temple, baby Bring the cannons on

Smooth Patch 03:59
I don’t need no SUV, and I don’t need a giant TV I don’t need you hypocrisy, but we still need democracy I go to work and I pay my bills, I’m clipping coupons and looking for deals I don’t need a gun that kills, and I don’t need exotic thrills I need a smooth patch, cause life ain’t easy I hope to hit one before I go crazy I need a smooth patch, I need it right now So I can begin to live my life… out Credit card bills, making wills, cutting corners, but who really cares Cancer’s taken a toll on me, it’s robbed me of my family But if you come over, you will see, a better life for you and me One with pleasures and with fantasies, we’re setting sails for the open sea To a smooth patch, where life is easy Thank God I found one, before I went crazy  I like this smooth patch, I like it right now  I’m gonna begin to live my life… now Insurance rates, always inflate, I need a break from this downward fate. I’m fading fast and I need a taste of easy living and sunny days. Terrorists and Jihadists, spreading hate and spreading fear I close my eyes and I drift away, now all the bad shit has gone away  I Gotta smooth patch now life is easy And now I realize that I’m not crazy I need a smooth patch, I like it right now I’m gonna begin to live my life… now

She’s got special needs Puts me on my knees Now it’s time to feed You know I aim to please I am gonna burst Just can’t quench my thirst We all got special needs Baby, let’s not tease We all got, we all got special needs We all got, we all got special needs I’m just a simple man Do just what I can I’m not asking for much Just need to feel your touch We all got, we all got special needs We all got, we all got special needs We all got, we all got special needs We all got, we all got special needs

Bake Sale 02:50
I started our with an easy bake oven I made a cake, and I made a muffin I fed ‘em to my family It made them feel so happy So I put a sign on the street corner And built a stand in my front yard Cars lined up for miles and miles It brought me joy to see all their smiles We’ll have a bake sale today Rock and roll all night We’ll have a bake sale each day For the rest of our lives In middle school, they taught home economics They taught us things like making brownies Then I learned a secret ingredient  That made my desserts heaven sent So I sold them in the boys room I sold them on the school bus  I sold them at the football games Now everybody knows me by name We’ll have a bake sale today Rock and roll all night We’ll have a bake sale each day For the rest of our lives Now Betty Crocker, she’s the bomb With a white apron and a g-string on She’ll tear it up in the kitchen And when she’s through, we’ll all be itching, for her Cupcakes, her cherry pie Her crusty muffin makes a grown man cry She makes me so horny When She bends over and cuts the cheese We’ll have a bake sale today Rock and roll all night We’ll have a bake sale each day For the rest of our lives

I used to be somebody special I used know everything I used to feel nothing at all I used to be I used to be somebody special I used know everything I used to feel nothing at all I used to be Break down real time Build up feel fine You used to be somebody special You used know everything You used to feel nothing at all You used to be You used to be somebody special You used know everything You used to feel nothing at all You used to be

Middle of the night and I’m wide awake, wondered what happened when she went away. Left her hanging on the other side. Never found out if she’s alive. Left her dancing on a high wire. Never found out if she survived. Every day, too much play, gotta get away now. Walking down the street just the other day, wondered what happened when she went away. Left her hanging on the other side. Never found out if she’s alive. Left her dancing on a high wire. Never found out if she survived. Gotta get away now. Once the needle goes in, it never comes out. Once the needle goes in, nothing but doubt.

The 509ers New Haven, Connecticut

The 509ers are a garage rock outfit from New Haven, CT. They have been kicking around the local music scene in various configurations for nearly thirty years and formed as The 509ers in 2009. Former angry young men, now grizzled and older, The 509ers still have something to say about the state of the world and it is not complimentary... but it is honest, loud, and raw. ... more
