I need a brand new wagon, new clothes that i can brag in
whiskey to make me talk like Clint Eastwood
and i want something sweet, caffeine and nicotine
I want a golden goose and i want it right now
pterodactyl, mastodon, I want that sabertooth
cause I need the entire collection, triceratops, tyrannosaur
oh I want it all, I want the megazord
give me, give me, gimme, gimme, gimme everything
I need something to make me feel happy
that dose ran out, now i need something new in my routine
cause I’m addicted to dopamine
I want some recognition, a trophy just for living
make me an app that moves the straw straight to my mouth
I wanna watch one more season and take naps for no reason
I want a golden goose and I want it right now
earth and fire, wind and water, I want the heart
cause my world needs a captain planet
but I’m a hungry hungry hungry hippo, so feed me marbles ’til i choke
I’m gonna scroll down just one more page
I’m gonna turn off my phone just give me one more day
at least I’m not on hard drugs as well
I’m just addicted to everything else
I’m feeling better, I’ll be okay, I’m just kidding, give me everything

hey, I’m just trying to help, I think you've mistaken the snake
that spirals up this rod, as the rattle that bit you
cause you were knocked unconscious when my ambulance just hit you
you’ve also lost a couple liters of blood
next time I’ll drive more carefully, but luckily I’m first on scene
and for you, I’ve got just what you need
Pokémon band aids and flintstone vitamin c
that’s all you'll need, for the venom and the trauma as you bleed
at least I think it’s all you'll need
I’m not giving up, even if you want me to and even if you punch and scream
I’m going on and on ’til your heart starts to beat
stop waving your arms you’re making this so much harder than it has to be
a real doctor's not as good as me
I’ve got so many lessons on how not to bleed
your vitals are slowing, your eye's they are rolling
well I know that's not my fault
and for you I know I’ve got just what you need
new hugs and varsity parenting
that’s all you'll need, I’m the best paramedic you'll meet
at least I think it's all you'll need
hey just halt right there young man
you can’t talk back and just go and die on me
you did this to yourself, I was just trying to help
ok I lost my cool today, I guess I’m not that great
it’s time to just give up
if only there was something bigger than us that won't give up
I’m so small, I think I should give it up
if only there was something bigger that could keep us up
I’m so small, I think I should give it up
if only there was love, bigger that could keep us up

born a slave to die, Spartacus Kirk Douglas
he’s got a sword by his side and his future’s looking a little brighter
but roman reach divide, leader of men
can you imagine the father he would have been?
but they seized him and killed him before his child
and I know the “how” and the “when” but the “why” I can’t seem to comprehend
if I could just say I’m Spartacus, come off that cross, stay with us
I keep asking, “are you satisfied?” if you’re not then, why’d he have to die?
is it just for your complex story line? just tell me, why’d he have to die?
back to modern times right now
grandfather clock design, aural advice, I have relied on his chime
but his chambers speak of spontaneous combustion
and they blew up last night
his heart - it quit beating - just stopped, expired time
the weights are too heavy now, that was his job but he died
and I know the “how” and the “when” but the “why” I can’t seem to comprehend
his hands and face aren't moving, say something, anything
hey, I know, what you’re feeling like
but you don’t understand what I’m doing with your life
are you not stronger now? what I did to him I did for….you
but you’ll never know, cause it’s all about what’s best for you
but you only feel what’s right in front of you, right now

It's Gotta Be the Gaming
04:33

Adolf Hitler, he played call of duty on Friday nights
when he lost at Nazi zombies, that made him rage quit his whole life
and Genghis Khan, before he destroyed an entire population
spent decades playing age of empires in his mother's basement
Wikipedia and history books they got it wrong
it was never about power or terror all along
turn it off or else you'll end up the same
that Mario, that Tetris will make you go insane
video games they cause violence and fighting
it's not because humans are sick and they're crying
no it’s got to be the gaming, turn it off is what I’m saying
i think we got to pause the gaming now
Jeffrey Dahmer, he played mortal kombat at the arcade
the way scorpion's spear penetrates Lui Kang felt way too great
and Billy the Kid, his favorite console was the Xbox one
before killing sheriffs he would turn it on to red dead redemption
why are those birds so angry, why are you old birds always angry?
I guess if you had fledglings that were violent too
you'd want something to blame and someone to hang
so slingshot at the pigs and blocks, your points will eventually come across
but the chicks will fall right from the nest if they don't get warmth
beneath your breast, find the scape goat, pull back and fire
Eric Harris and Dylan shooting columbine
they played doom and quake together in their spare time
but there's something deeper, something more than simple games
there was a chemical disease, illness in their brains
Wikipedia and history books they got it right
it was always about mental health and suicide
and the irony is when you say games are the problem
it makes me want to punch you in the throat even harder

Living in a Cave
03:14

I’ve worked this mine going on centuries at least
fighting orcs and dust, trolls and rust
and every cavernous beast
cause I’ve been searching for some precious gems so long
I never knew, I had ‘em up above all along
I’ve got the diamonds in the night sky
and emeralds in your eyes
I’ve got the gold of your hair
these gems I’ll keep forever
I’ve got the diamonds in the night sky
the sapphire ocean tide
the ruby beating in your chest
these gems I’ll keep forever
I’ve hunted dragons and it's always been the same
one goes down then there's a bigger one to hunt in its place
the treasure is nice but the feeling dies
oh it dies so soon
you've got perfect clarity
cut and shape, that shape and clarity

that planet is a scary place
heffalumps and humans they await
to break your spine and face, laugh as you fall
captain, what should we do?
two billion fathoms into space
little men plot courses from their base
keeping secret what they do (covert mission)
an interstellar rendezvous with a stone
gliding that sleeps in the void
an innocuous body of an asteroid
the stone has no plan to seek and destroy
but they're gonna weaponize it, strap on rockets
change its course and watch it collide
that planet's gonna get what’s coming
well they deserve it so I don’t even care at all
look how they treat each other, all in the name of love
well they deserve it so I don't even care at all
look how they cheat each other, all in the name of love
you know I almost had some pity, savage, their brains are too small
but if they'd been more like us peaceful beings
we wouldn’t have had to kill them all
lie down, admire a heavenly body
Virgo, she glistens from a crescent motel lamp
in the breezeway, a foreign vibration
Orion approaches with a gun and a simple plan
gravitational love brings illegal intrigue through a heart with fatigue
the stone in the chamber knows not what it does
but it carries the burden of jealousy
the portal opens, a flash from yonder lights the figure of Virgo
her lover's grey matter all over the floor
both stones impact and they bore through the cores
that planet really got what’s coming
we're just aliens, and we like to play with laser beams
we're just aliens, and we like to feel supreme

a little coffee and the smell of holiday cinnamon rolls
the sofa's softer with a blanket and pillow and dog
laugher bounced off the frames that hang on these four walls
and we'd gather closer, light a fire, whenever we got cold
but now it's so empty with change
I used to think that this house seemed great, but…
it's not home without you, it’s not home if you're not here
when I wake up and I’m all alone, this place ain’t home
you've had a long day and I strangely wanna hear you complain
just to hear your voice, it makes me melt (ah) and drip away
I could use some cold toes on my shin underneath the sheets
you see, just to know you're there helps me forget about everything
if we blast off to live on a star
I know I’ll be warm cause home's where you are
I wish you’d come back home

Something About Lou
03:56

I’ve got some beef with my neighbor building his new shed
he blocked my view so naturally I wish that he was dead
stop and go in this traffic, people make me insane
at least when I get home I’ll sit, relax, and watch the game
why did he pass it? there was only 1 minute left!
and is this ref on the other team and both blind and deaf?
I’m gonna lose it again
some people say “won't you let it go?”
“these inconsequential things you can't control"
what they don’t know is if I keep on screaming
I’ll convince myself things are fixin’
I’m howling for no good reason
might be a full moon or just my feelings
you might say I’ve got so much to live for but I can’t help feeling
all the bad breaks and wrongs of the world
can you believe what he posted on twittergram?
and it's been raining since last Tuesday morning, 5am
I was born about 34 years too late
that’s why my moves and game are all worn out, no second date
why won't she love me? I’m the nicest and humblest
ignore the cabbage smell, fedoras should make you impressed
they don’t know I exist
some people say "won’t you let it go?”
"all these things you totally can't control"
I know there's cancer, and famine, and earthquakes
if i get mad enough I’ll save myself from bad breaks
why won't you shut up, you are so ungrateful
how could you have it all but still sound so hateful?
hey, Lou Gehrig, he always knew
he had it taken all away but still felt gratitude
some people say "won’t you let it go?”
“all these things you totally can't control"
if I keep screaming you know what will happen?
yes, absolutely nothing
I’m howling for no good reason, I’m just happy cause I’m still breathing
you should say I’ve got so much to live for
cause even with bad breaks I’m the luckiest man in the world

Grandpa Loves Rhinos Idaho
Brotherly duo Paul (drums) and Seth (guitar/bass/vocals) Hyde, and their jobs in the Air Force have forced them to live hundreds of miles away from each other, separated by mountains, valleys, and creatures of the deep. Although distance plagues Grandpa Loves Rhinos, their desire to create music burns eternal--GLR creates music in correspondence of a blend of modern rock, pop punk, and emo. ... more

Value Pac's Jalapeño was one of my favorite punk albums growing up. Their obscure third album Incognito from 2001 or so was an album I'd only ever heard rumors about. Thanks IVM for releasing it. This is great.

A long-time fan of Dogwood. They got me through some tough times as a teenager. Whether it was dealing with my dad who bailed or struggling through the faith, their songs always made me feel like someone else understood.
