"There Isn't Any God" lyrics & chords

CAPO on 3rd FRET

INTRO: Dm  A  A7  Dm  Dm  A  C  G  Bb  A

Well some songs are happy,

Dm                                     A

And some songs are sad,

A7                                     Dm

Some songs are really well rehearsed,

Dm        A               C                        G

And other songs are bad,

Bb                                      A7

Well some songs are angry,

Dm                                     A

And some songs are sweet,

A7                                     Dm

Some songs are made to help you wake up in the morning, 

Dm                             A                                 C                             G

Well here’s a little song to help you go back to sleep,

           Bb                                                         A7

There isn't any God and when you die you're just dead,

           Dm                                                     A

And heaven's just a fairy tale to put you to bed,

              A7                                             Dm

Sometimes I think about the chance that I'm wrong,

Dm                         A                               C                             G

And then I close my eyes and just remember this song,

           Bb                                                         A7

I said there isn't any God and when you die you're just dead,

                       Dm                                                     A

And heaven's just a fairy tale to put you to bed,

              A7                                             Dm

There ain’t nobody watching us cause nobody cares,

             Dm                         A                                C                  G

And in the end we're living all alone,

           Bb                              A7             Dm    A    Dm

If I could live forever,

I’d do it if I could,

Leave it all behind everything that I've done,

It’s just as bad as if its never begun,

If I was a believer,

And Lord knows I’ve tried,

Well, I could be at peace when I close my eyes,

And I could go to heaven on the day that I die,

Chorus

Love don’t matter cause you die in the end,

 D#m                                                 Bb

Money don’t matter cause you die in the end,

Bb7                                                          D#m

Life don’t matter cause you die in the end,

D#m                                               Bb

But it’s really never over, no its really never over,

                 Bb                    B                      Bb7                Bb

(Last chorus is the same progression as first one but 1 half step higher)

"I Keep on Walking" lyrics & chords

CAPO on 4th Fret

Sometimes I think about how the world can be so cold,

G                                                C                G                                  

But I keep walking on down the road, 

            C                                                    G            C

And sometimes I’m feeling like that I got no place to go, 

           G                                                C           G                                

But I keep walking on down the road, 

                       C                                         G     

I keep on walking on down the road, 

                     C                                       G

I keep walking on down the road,

                   C                                     G

I keep on walking on down the road road road,

                     C                                        G        D       Em

Somedays they may never shine,

D                      

But I just keep on walking down the road, 

        C                                               G

Sometimes I see no signs of better things to come,

But I keep working till work is done,

Sun or rain, don’t matter much when a new day has begun, 

Cause I keep working till work is done,

I keep on working till work is done,

I keep working till work is done,

I keep on working till work is done done done,

Somedays they may never shine,

But I keep working till the work is done, 

Well I think it’s kinda funny, cause I still think back, 

To when I use to keep my money in a gunny sack, 

To when I use to drink my water from a dirty hoes,

To when the clothes on my back were my only clothes,

Well times have had their ups and downs, 

But I just keep on walking down the road, 

Well I find it kinda silly when we try to compare, 

Our own selves to another when we think it’s unfair, 

That the grass grows greener on the other side,

That we covet what our neighbors use to build their pride,

Well I got what I got and that’s all I need,

So I just keep on walking down the road, 

I keep on walking on down the road, 

I keep walking on down the road,

I keep on walking on down the road road road,

Somedays they may never shine,

But I just keep on walking down the road, 

Somedays I work my fingers right down to the bone, 

But I keep reaping just what I sewed,

Sweat and blood done stained my clothes 

And I ache down to my toes, 

But I keep reaping just what I sewed,

I keep on reaping that what I sewed,

I keep reaping that what I sewed,

I keep on reaping that what I sewed sewed sewed,

Some things can be worth the time,

So I just keep on reaping what I sewed,

Some things seem to take too long when the years go by so slow,

But I keep planting for trees to grow,

What we put into the ground is what we got to show,

So I keep planting for trees to grow,

I keep on planting for trees to grow,

I keep planting for trees to grow,

I keep on planting for trees to grow grow grow,

Someday everything will die, 

But I keep planting for the trees to grow,

I keep on walking on down the road, 

I keep walking on down the road,

I keep on walking on down the road road road,

Somedays they may never shine,

But I just keep on walking down the road.

"Write Me a Letter" lyrics & chords

CAPO on 2nd Fret

MAIN PROGRESSION: G  Am  C  G

BRIDGE:  Am  D  G  Em  Am  D  D7

I that I haven’t been around in a bit, 

But Mama, don’t think that I could ever forget,

You probably been wondering as to where that I’ve been, 

Got picked up last week, and I’m stuck in the pin,

And I know that I haven’t been the best son,

You can’t forgive for all the things that I done,

But my attorney tells me that I got a good case, 

So write me a letter, Ma, send me your grace, 

Write me a letter, give me a call,

Cause I’ve been inside for way too long, 

With all of my sorrows and all my regrets, 

Write me a letter and help me forget, 

Well hey there John, Man it’s been a long time, 

And I hope that you and boys are doing just fine, 

You probably been wondering why I don’t hang around, 

I’ve been stuck in county since that shit when down, 

And it might be a lot to inquire about, 

That you and the boys could pull some dough and help me get out,

Cause us and the gang, man, ain’t we been through it all? 

Just let me know, buddy, just give me a call, 

And write me a letter, give me a call, 

Cause I been inside for way too long, 

With all of my sorrows and all my regrets,

Write me a letter and help me forget, 

Knowing you’re with me, it keeps me holding on,

Knowing you miss me whenever I’m gone, 

With you all in my heart, is my only escape, 

And oh, how I wish for a loving embrace, 

Well Mama, I haven’t heard from you in a while, 

It’s been about a year but I’m still trying to smile, 

I couldn’t pull bail and I lost in the case, 

And ain’t no one willing to help out in this place, 

I hope you get this, I hope you respond, 

Cause I ain’t talked to no one ever since I’ve been gone, 

And I don’t know if I’ll ever see you all again, 

I just want a family, I just want a friend,

So write me a letter, give me a call, 

Cause I been inside for way too long, 

With all of my sorrows and all my regrets,

Write me a letter and help me forget. 

"The Final Voyage of the Wailer's Essex" lyrics & chords

CAPO on 1st FRET

I done my level best, to whomever’s concerned, 

     C                           Em                         Am             C

For children of wailer’s, we all take a turn, 

        C                      Em                  F                  G

Now we lay in our oars boat, us six men at sea, 

                 Dm                    G                       C                   Am

And travel for home with rations for three,

              Dm                G                     C                 Am

Two ounces fresh water and hardtack a day, 

              Dm                        G                  C                 Am

But we’ll see Nantucket again, 

        F                          G              C

Forty days and forty nights, we followed the wind,

In the southern Pacific, many miles from land, 

The first mate of Essex, and few crew with me,

Our captain George Pollard is lost at the sea, 

And I look to the East and see nothing but blue,

So what can us starving men do? 

But sing, sing, we’re on our way home,

         C          G                   F                      G

Across the Pacific, and through the unknown,

    C                  G                       F                        G7

With God as our shepherd then no harm shall pass,

             C                       E7                     Am

We’ll be in Nantucket at last,

            F            G                     C

But oh, how this skin of blistered leather pulls tight on our skulls,

        C7                       F                                                          F7

As rations all dwindle away,

        C                  E7            Am

And oh, how our dreams every night, of our stomachs so full,

        C7                        F                                                       F7

But awake to find water to last two more days, 

         Dm                        G            C                           Am

Our spirits all broken, our minds are all crazed,

         Dm                 G                    C                         Am

And oh, how I’d kill for just one more good meal,

          Dm                 G                     C               Em       Am

But home’s a little farther away, 

         F                   G                     C

So sing, sing, we’re on our way home,

Across the Pacific, and through the unknown,

With God as our shepherd then no harm shall pass,

We’ll be in Nantucket at last,

But oh, when I look at my crewman, I see them looking back at me, 

Humanity gone from their eyes,

Once we were men of our god, and brothers at sea,

Those times weren’t so long ago, but how quick they pass, 

Was once death a stranger, now approaching us fast, 

But we are Nantucket, the proud and the strong, 

For Nantucket, we must travel on, 

But oh, how these hunger pangs drive all the thoughts in my brain,

And body dries up in the sun,

Oh, cause it’s meat and fresh water that the six of us crave, 

So six bits of paper are tossed in the cap, 

And six men reach in and each pull out a scrap, 

And one man of six, with the unlucky draw, 

Is one man to help feed us all. 

"The Hearse Song" lyrics & chords

Don’t ever laugh as a hearse goes by for you may be the next to die, 

              Dm                               Bb                             Gm                          A7

They wrap you up in bloody sheets to drop you 6 feet underneath, 

            Dm                              Bb                          Dm                          A7           Dm   (This repeats pretty much the whole song)

They put you in a pinewood box and cover you up with dirt and rocks,

It all goes well for about a week, and then your coffin begins to leak,

And the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,

The worms play pinochle on your snout, 

They eat your eyes, they eat your nose,

As you begin to decompose,

A slimy beetle with demon’s eyes, 

Chews through your stomach and out your sides,

Your stomach turns to rancid grease,

And puss pours out like melted cheese, 

You spread it on a slice of bread, 

And that’s what you’ll eat when you’re dead,

And the worms crawl out, the worms crawl in,

The ones that crawl in are lean and thin,

The ones that crawl out are fat and stout, 

Your eyes fall in and your hair falls out,

Your brain turns into maggot pie,

Your liver starts to liquify,

And for the living, all is well,

As you sink further into hell,

And the flames rise up to drag you down,

Into the fire where you will drown, 

Your skin melts off as you descend,

And Satan tears you limb from limb,

Your suffering will never end,

And the worms crawl in, the worms crawl out,

They’ll eat your guts and then shit them out, 

And when your bones begin to rot,

The worms remain, but you do not, 

So don’t ever laugh as a hearse goes by, 

For someday, you’ll be the one to die, 

And when Death brings his cold despair, 

Ask yourself, “Will anyone care?”

"I'll Come Back to New Orleans" lyrics & chords

CAPO on 2nd FRET

The shallow water shimmers in the street light,

C                                                                         E7

The neon signs can’t escape the eye,

Am                                                             C

The smell of fish and spice, a smell of which can mix so nice,

C                        E7                               Am                   

So take me back here before I die,

F                      G                                  C

And the greatest infection, is that of affection, 

F                                    C            F                        C

And I wouldn’t have it any other way, 

F                             C                                 G7

But what can I say,

                                C      E7      Am      F       C       G        C         

Circumstance had brought her to the city, 

C               E7                                                          Am

She was left behind to try and find a cheap hotel to sleep at night,

                    F                         C                    G        

Well hard times fell and she took to stripping,

C                               E7                                      Am

Just a 19 year old girl in the grasps of middle aged married men,

             F                                                          G

And the Bourbon Street bullhorn boys bellowed boasts of beautiful girls,

F                                                  C                      F                                       C

Who dance behind black curtains in the night, 

F                                                  C                           G      G7

And oh, how that stigma follows, just another slut on drugs,

F                                    C                         F                            C

And through the drunken slander, she held her pride,

F                                                     C                                         G            G7

And I’ll come back to New Orleans,

                                C   E7                 Am 

And I hope to find that you’re still waiting there for me, 

F                                                                  G

Cause I’ll be back in New Orleans,

                          C      E7                Am

If you still want me there,

F                G                     C         E7    Am    F    C   G  C

She’d only been two weeks in the city,

It’d only been two nights for me,

And was it vacation high? It felt so real when we said goodbye,

And I hope this feeling never fades,

And the greatest infection is that of affection, 

And I wouldn’t have it any other way, 

In a city full of devils, I found an angel there,

And fell in love with a stripper but I never saw her dance,

but I’ll come back to New Orleans,

And I hope to find that you’re still waiting there for me, 

Cause I’ll be back in New Orleans,

If you still want me there,

And the shallow water shimmers in the street light, 

The neon signs can’t escape the eye, 

And the city sleeps, but I keep on stirring, 

So take me back here before I die. 

"This Place" lyrics & chords

CAPO on 4th FRET

Intro: E... A E B E A E E B E

Deep down in the pines where the world has forgotten was still alive

B                                                                                                E

Where the dirt roads twist along for no more than a mile 

B                                                                       E

Where the old man’s bar marks the center of town, and the county was never dry

                       A                                                                                                    E

Where the people will go, where the people will stay

E

Where they live until they die

                         B                           E

Well I knew a guy, his name was Ricky McCoy 

An ass kicking bass fishing good ol’ boy 

And he can build a fire in 10 seconds flat

And he can ride a bull even longer than that

Well he was only 15 when he dropped out of school

‘He said I never been a genius, but I ain’t no fool

I know what I want, and I’mma get it in life

And I ain’t never gonna leave this place’

He said, Man I ain’t never gonna leave this place

                   A   

It’s where I’s (was) born, It’s where I’s raised

              E

And when I’m old on my dying bed

             B

I pray this is where I’m gonna lay my head

     E

I got me a town I can call my home

   A

I got me a place I can call my own

   E

I told you once and I’mma say it again

   E

I ain’t never gonna leave this place

                B                                             E

Well Jessie was a young girl who grew up fast

She used to make her money lying down on her back

Her daddy drank whiskey till he’s numb in the head

He’d beat her every night until the day he was dead

Well she was just an only child with nowhere to go 

In the same square mile where her seeds were sewn

‘If there’s more to life, I guess I’ll never know

Cause I ain’t ever gonna leave this place’

She said, Man I ain’t never gonna leave this place

It’s where I’s born, It’s where I’s raised

And when I’m old on my dying bed

I pray this is where I’m gonna lay my head

I got me a town I can call my home

I got me a place I can call my own

I told you once and I’mma say it again

I ain’t never gonna leave this place

Repeat chorus 

"If All Should Fail" lyrics & chords

I said I’m gonna spend my time alone

Bm                                                             D

Cause it ain’t worth trying to find that lover’s soul

                                             G                                     D                 F#m7

I said it’s better searching in myself 

Bm                                                        D

Cause I couldn’t give away my love, 

                                               G 

Or spend my time with anybody else

                                                     b♭6

But oh, sometimes I believe I can make the change,

                              A                                       A7

Oh Lord, are you feeling the same way

F#                                  F#7

(chords repeat for this next part)

I said I better change my sinking thoughts

Before they pull me under to drown out everything I’ve got

And yet I find comfort in despair

Cause I’ve wallowed in it far too long, when things go wrong

It feels good not to care

And oh, sometimes I believe I can make the change

Good God, are you feeling the same way

Cause I would do it for her, if she’d do it for me

D                                             A                                       Bm 

If this is where we ought to be

                     G                  A            D          

I am only a man, my sins of pride

                          A                               Bm

are swallowed down here by your side

                                 G                F#7

Instead I’m gonna praise my stubborn heart

But I feel like dying, and I know I’m only at the start

And as the days go passing by

Well that window begins to close, and so it shows

When months turn into years, well I try

And oh, I believe I can make the change

Good God, are you feeling the same way

I would do it for her, if she’d do it for me

If this is where we ought to be

I am only a man, my sins of pride

are swallowed down here by your side

If all should fail, so often does

Of lack of passion and lack of trust

But I would do it for her if she’d do it for me

If this is where we ought to be.

"The Grave" lyrics & Chords

CAPO ON 3rd FRET.  The same chords repeat through the song, besides the bridge. 

MAIN CHORDS: G  Am  D (sometimes D7)  

BRIDGE CHORDS: Bm Em Am D G B7 C G Am D D7

Blue skies shining down, oh lord, what can it be? 

You got the gift of your morale, but you know ain’t nothin’s free

Red skies burning bright, it’s another dark day’s night

Just a prayer to bloody sacrement of everything all right

Well anything is possible, if you got the means

You just call your friend who lives within, for everything he brings

And what you want is a pick-me-up, well I got just what you need

You just take this gift, that tit-for-tat, but you know ain’t nothin’s free

Cause the day I saw the grave, I just knew I’d misbehave 

Going out there every night, Drinking whiskey, shooting dice

Thinking nothing but myself, thinking nothing about my health

Crazy women all the way, I could do this every day

I owe it all to you. 

Well the nights are growing longer now and I lift your name on high

Burning every wick from end to end, but never question why

And I’ve lost the hope, I’ve lost the feeling, I’ve lost the times of days gone by

When you’re dancing with the devil, it’s so easy you don’t have to try 

Cause the day I saw the grave, I just knew I’d misbehave 

Going out there every night, Drinking whiskey, shooting dice

Thinking nothing but myself, thinking nothing about my health

Crazy women all the way, I could do this every day

But we all need our motivation, we all need our bit of fun

You can give away your dollar bill, but can you really name one single thing

One selfless act you’ve ever done

Cause the day I saw the grave, I just knew I’d misbehave 

Going out there every night, Drinking whiskey, shooting dice

Thinking nothing but myself, thinking nothing about my health

Crazy women all the way, I could do this every day

I owe it all to you. 

"We're The Gang Stalkers" lyrics & chords

CAPO ON 3rd Fret

I called my baby just the other day,

    G                                     C      G

I called my baby but she’d gone away

     G                                       D

I called my woman and she didn’t reply

     G                                       C        G

I wanna be with her all the time

     G       C    G     C    D         G   

I’m a gang stalker baby and I do just fine

I followed my baby to the county line

I seen my woman with another man

My heart went cold so I thought up a plan

We’re the gang stalkers, buddy, and we’re everywhere

When you see a gang stalker than you better beware

We follow you around in our bright red cars

We’re all gang stalkers and we know where you are

I’m a gang stalker, but I ain’t the only one

I know a gang stalker who’s a hired gun

He followed my woman, dressed all in black

And now my baby ain’t coming back

We’re the gang stalkers, buddy, and we’re everywhere

When you see a gang stalker than you better beware

We follow you around in our bright red cars

We’re all gang stalkers and we know where you are

I know a gang stalker in the secret police

He burned all the records of the recent deceased

Two weeks later, and the time has passed

Nobody missing, no questions asked

We’re the gang stalkers, buddy, and we’re everywhere

When you see a gang stalker than you better beware

We follow you around in our bright red cars

We’re all gang stalkers and we know where you are

When I'm Drinkin' Whiskey lyrics

"When I'm Drinkin' Whiskey" LYRICS

by Rusty Cage

When I'm drinkin whiskey, I know nothin can go wrong, 

When I'm drinkin whiskey, only time my mind is strong, 

When I got my bottle is when I'm standin tall, 

When I'm drinkin whiskey, I don't feel nothin at all, 

When I'm good and drunken, can't nobody bring me down, 

I like to drink my whiskey when nobody is around, 

I know my empty bottle is the only one that understands, 

When I'm drinkin whiskey, I forget the man I am, 

When I'm drinkin whiskey my hands don't ever shake, 

When I'm drinkin whiskey I don't lay in bed awake, 

Cause when I got my bottle, I don't care if I'm alive, 

Cause when I'm drinkin whiskey, I ain't afraid to die,

Cause when I'm drinkin whiskey, I ain't afraid to die. 

Ain't The Man lyrics

"Ain’t The Man" 

LYRICS

by Rusty Cage

I gather my sins in a gunny sack, way down the side of the scale, 

when it meets the ground, a sickening sound, I’ll await that trumpets wail, 

with a fist of mud right before my judge, may he lay his glory on me, 

a verdict passed with an audible laugh, I know what the score will be, 

Was a time I tried, and many I lied, there were plenty of them by and by, 

But I don’t expect to stretch out my neck, these reasons I’ll tell you why, 

I ain’t the man that you want me to be x 4

No, I ain’t the man, I ain’t the man that you want me to be, 

because the life I lead, one of strife and greed, 

I can’t break that hold on me. 

Oh no I ain’t the man, I ain’t the man that you want me to be, 

cause I dance with the devil and I gamble with God,

I ain’t the man that you want me to be. 

There been them nights I prayed for change, that fear I never could, 

There been them days I stayed the same and I knew I never would, 

There been them weeks when all was bleak, buddy, drink that bottle brown, 

there been there years with a lack of tears, that wall came crashing down, 

Well I’m the son of a farmer, a low down charmer, I can cheat my way in cards, 

I done stabbed my fingers, I’m an off key singer when I play that broke guitar, 

And well I can talk, I been around the block, I can lift my Lord on high, 

But I wouldn’t take a chance if you want romance, and these reasons I’ll tell you why, 

I ain’t the man that you want me to be x 8

No, I ain’t the man, I ain’t the man that you want me to be, 

because the life I lead, one of strife and greed, 

I can’t break that hold on me. 

Oh no I ain’t the man, I ain’t the man that you want me to be, 

cause I dance with the devil and I gamble with God,

I ain’t the man that you want me to be. 

The Devil's Song lyrics

"The Devi’s Song" 

LYRICS

by Rusty Cage

Casted out like dying seeds upon the ground, 

single file our marches echo through the trees,

we left no crumbs of bread to lead our way back home again, 

Past the point of no returning, should we please, 

And we all sang the devil’s song and sank into the night, 

Saying God damn It might be wrong but at the time it all feels right, 

and my my, how time flies, what are we living for? 

And we all cried, at least we tried, and drank a little more. 

We dawn our new born face and toss all masks aside, 

among our new born kin, got nothin left to hide, 

so pierce the flesh, our sacrament begins to grow, 

and one by one into the darkness we all go. 

And by the black wing of the raven, we take our flight, 

Hold true to the laws of the Devil’s rite, 

By the power of the sigil we made this pact,

as the children of Cain, as the souls of black, 

as the fang of the serpent, head of the ram, 

Consume Almighty through the blood of the lamb, 

With the star of the morning to bring us the light, 

and the eyes of the fallen to give us our sight to see. 

So pass the chalice of that bitter tasting wine, 

we’re gowned from head to toe in all midnight attire, 

This growing moon, it brings us closer to the time, 

so raise that skull of high and dance around the fire, 

And we all sang the devil’s song and sank into the night, 

Saying God damn It might be wrong but at the time it all feels right, 

and my my, how time flies, what are we living for? 

And we all cried, at least we tried, and drank a little more. 

Here’s to knowledge we take from fruit, 

progress with the heresy, it stems from the root, 

Here’s to lies, forgotten goodbyes, 

May we all take a sip, the Almighty arise, 

Chant with vigor, find the truth, 

with the cries of the night bring the final sooth, 

And the star of the morning to bring us the light, 

and the eyes of the fallen should it give us our sight to see. 

Already have we all been damned, born of the blood that our god condemned, 

shunned by the ones who set the standard of right, 

with a skewed newer view of proverbial sleight, 

It is we who went against the settling stone 

as the waters of the mass wash us down to the bone, 

It is we, the burdened by original sin, 

who understand the weight of our fate, let us begin,

so as we bask in the black new void of the night, 

move past every last limitation from sight, 

In the bleak of the soil where the seed is sewn,

if the remnants remain the the tree can grow, 

if the spring should allow of the tree to flower, 

well then the song of the seed only grows in power, 

and the power of the song makes strong its calling, 

cause the calling is the cry of the one who’s fallen, 

All hail, to Ye who we sing this song, 

For through he we are free from bond, 

All hail, to Ye who has made us free, 

who brings light by of which we see, 

All hail, to the lightened mighty glow, 

that of which brings the power to know, 

All hail to enlightenment the knowledge will bring, 

All hail to the lord, that of which we sing, 

So we shed all doubt for the hour has come, 

Praise be for the year is one, 

We shed all doubt brought upon with fear, 

Praise be for the Lord is here, 

We shed all doubt for the lives we give, 

Praise be for the Lord shall live, 

And we shed all doubt, you can hear his call, 

for in the end It is judgement that defeats us all. 

And we all sang the devil’s song and sank into the night, 

Saying God damn It might be wrong but at the time it all feels right, 

and my my, how time flies, what are we living for? 

And we all cried, at least we tried, and drank a little more. 

Requiem of the Crazies Lyrics

"Requiem of the Crazies" 

LYRICS

by Rusty Cage

It’s kinda hard being a bum in this town, where the kids run wild, running all around, 

We go by behind without a sound, and we all got stories to tell, 

Put a penny in the cup, you might hear us moan, 

Im just a dollar short of catching the Grey Hound home, 

and God bless you sir, you won’t see me no more,

cause Ill be drunk behind the Jiffy store, 

But I’m gonna get straight if it’s the last thing I can bare, 

I’d get my life together if someone would care, 

And if I should die before my time is through, 

Tell all the people who I was. 

On a bench, sour stench, clutching my booze, 

a pair of swiss cheese socks and tore up shoes,

whiskey breath, dumpster chef, next to taco bell, 

I dropped my aspirations down a wishing well, 

Drunkin stance, piss my pants, piano key teeth, 

All these things will blind you from the man beneath, 

I’m not a fool, I been to school, I’ve read Sun Tzu,

You see us bums are people too.

So I’m back in jail, I can’t make bail, I get my three square meals,

Oh, how I’ve forgotten how a bed and pillow feels, 

I’ll take a breath, there’s nothing left, 

I lay my head, the bible said,

“To all those weary I will give you rest”

But I’m gonna get straight if it’s the last thing I can bare, 

I’d get my life together if someone would care, 

And if I should die before my time is through, 

Tell all the people who I was. 

On the streets, where I sleep, Bullet is my name, 

You see, I lost my wife and child and the whiskey is to blame, 

So I been teaching gospels to the crazies on the curb, 

Among all these people I’ll achieve my fame, 

Cause I can’t get a job cause the dirt on my face, 

I can’t find no food or a resting place, 

I ain’t a bad guy, Lord knows I try, 

And I’ll probably rot here in the ally where I die, 

I’m gonna get straight if it’s the last thing I can bare, 

I’d get my life together if someone would care, 

And if I should die before my time is through, 

Tell all the people who I was. 

All The Fish Will Be Floating Lyrics

"All The Fish Will Be Floating" 

LYRICS

by Rusty Cage

They say the world is broken, I guess it could be, 

All the fish should be floating on top of the sea, 

I remember the days when I was young and all alone, 

on my bedside with hands clasped together, 

well I won’t do that no more, 

Cause I aint praying no more,

and I staying no more, 

and I aint worshiping no one, 

and I aint firing no gun, 

Apathy is a killer at heart, it enters your brain, it brings you no pain, 

Apathy are the idols hands of life, forget all your trouble, forget all your strife,

and I aint looking no more,

and I aint cooking no more, 

and I aint stealing no more, 

and I aint feelin no more,

and I aint thinking no more,

and I aint drinking no more, 

and I aint lying no more, 

and I aint trying no more, 

Apathy is a dangerous tool, too much of empathy will make you a fool,

Apathy blinds your eyes from everything, has nothing to bring from the words that I sing, 

Apathy, distracting what we see, trivial and useless technology, 

Apathy, how seductively it calls, and now that I have it, I don’t want it at all. 

I remember Nazi Germany back in 1939, what a wonderful time, 

when the future was bleak they all just turned the other cheek, 

does it please you to say that everything is okay, 

what the hellcan I say, cause it doesn’t really matter, 

No it doesn’t really matter at all, 

And I aint writing no more, 

and I aint fighting no more, 

and I aint reading no more, 

and I aint bleeding no more, 

And I aint learning no more, 

and I aint burning no more, 

and I aint seeing no more, 

and I aint fleeing no more, 

and I aint helping no more, 

and I aint voting no more, 

and I aint choosing no more, 

and I aint losing no more, 

and I aint winning no more, 

and I aint sinning no more, 

Aint doing nothing no more, 

I ain’t nothin no more, 

Apathy infects us like disease,

enough of the caring, we do what we please, 

Apathy, Ill take for any cost, 

and when it’s all over, 

All hope is lost. 

Shame Lyrics

"Shame"

LYRICS

by Rusty Cage

Shame, Shame, what kind of man could I be, 

played your mind, played your heart, 

I played it all for me, 

kept you frightened, kept you fighting, 

for something you would never see,

kept you trying, left you crying,

oh baby I could never let you free,

Cry, Cry, Sing your dying sound, 

I know I will only bring you down, 

Shame, Shame, what kind of man could I be, 

Shame, Shame, What kind of man could I be, 

Kept you frightened, kept you fighting,

for something you would never see,

kept you trying, left you crying, 

but I could never let you free, 

Shame Shame, what kind of man could I be, 

Shame Shame, what kind of man could I be, 

Cry, Cry, Sing your dying sound, 

I know I will only bring you down, 

Shame, Shame, what kind of man could I be, 

Shame, Shame, What kind of man could I be, 

Shame, Shame, what kind of man could I be, 

Shame, Shame, What kind of man could I be, 

Parasomnia Lyrics

"Parasomnia"

LYRICS

by Rusty Cage

You say you had a nightmare, reoccurring dreams of a summer last year, 

Now normally that ain’t none of my business girl, until you start having them dreams over here, 

Won’t you try a little harder, to recall what you did that night, 

don’t try to play it off like it’s one of those dreams, say those things to make it alright, 

You see your friends they taunt me, try to explain the way you feel, 

They say you think you feel you want me, But what you say you think will make me ill, 

Why don’t I believe you, that you could speak and act in your sleep,

breathing heavy while your shaking, slightly stirring while you weep, 

You’re quite the piece of art girl, prettiest thing that I had ever seen, 

but you got a wicked heart girl, and your words can be awful mean, 

why would you speak of such a story if not it true, but it don’t make no sense to me, 

don’t make me a fool to believe in you, just tell me the truth and then let me be, 

you directed me to my own destruction, I only acted on your lead, 

and with a phone calls interruption, thats when you had to up and leave, 

You see your friends they taunt me, they try to explain the way you feel, 

they say you think you feel you want me, but what you say you think will make me ill,

I know what we did was unjust, the acts we took before the act you didn’t make, 

but if you claim to be parasomnia, exactly what time did you awake.

Time of Dyin' Lyrics

"Time of Dying"

LYRICS

by Rusty Cage

In my time of dying, don’t want no cry, 

all I want for you to do is take me when I die,

well well well x 4

So I can die easy, well well well x 4

Meet me Jesus, meet me, in the middle of the air,

if these wings should fail me lord, won’t you meet me with another pair,

well well well x 4

So I can die easy, well well well x 4

In my time of dying, don’t want no one to mourn,

all I want for you to do is take my body home, 

well well well x 4

So I can die easy, well well well x 4

Jesus gonna make up my dying bed x 8

What They Said Lyrics

"What They Said"

LYRICS

by Rusty Cage

I left my home for the weekend, and the safety of my bed,

my life is secure, my opinions validated,

I feel special in my head,

The world outside seems so shitty,

all the people try to bring me down,

I thought that I was perfect 

and I thought that they would love me,

but instead they only try to offend,

I can’t believe what they said,

Well sometimes criticism is given, 

it’s the one true fact about the world we live in,

you can choose to accept or reject critique, 

there’s a risk that you take every time you speak,

if you shout your opinions in a public place,

well then they might just shout right back in your face,

if you think that you’re safe guess again my friend,

because sometimes life’s just got to offend, 

My mother told me she loves me and she’d always hold my hand, 

she told me that my feelings were the only thing that mattered,

but nobody seems to understand,

Not everything is gonna be about you,

cause the world keeps turning whether with or without you,

you can cry your griefs about what you believe,

but don’t expect anyone to see the way you see,

don’t expect anyone to feel the way you feel,

when the flack that you’re fed is a three course,

offense is never given it can only be taken,

when the age of outrage comes to break you down,

All the agendered, bigendered, non and cis gendered,

pan, demisexual, trans, and misgendered, 

plantkin, otherkin, dragons and therions, 

muslims, satanists, jews and christians,

black skin, white skin, yellow and brown,

we all got people trying to put us down,

and word is only strong as the power we give it,

we can censor it out, or we can learn to live with it, 

I left my home for the weekend, 

I left the safety of my comfortable bed,

I had to talk to people different from me,

and I just can’t believe what they said,

I can’t believe what they said

Bone To Pick Lyrics

"Bone To Pick"

LYRICS

by Rusty Cage

You say you got problems girl

Well I got em too

You say you got problems baby

Well we all got problems too

Yea, but you can cry all night now sugar

After what you put me through 

So cry now for the life you lack, 

spread your fears when its holding you back, 

you know you can’t change and you’re feeling the pain,

well we all got something that can take the blame, 

you were born under a bad sign, lack of privilege, 

the upper hand was never something that you lived with, 

so raise your fists and stomp your feet, 

fight for the cause then take a seat, 

Why can’t anybody let me be,

and oh, how I love to cry,

Woe is me,

Because it feels like the world is stabbing in my back, 

Everybody’s got to have a bone to pick, 

Got my straw man standing ready too conflict, 

Everybody’s got to have a bone to pick, 

Ah huh

Don’t you know there’s people out there, 

who don’t got a cent to their name, 

I said there’s people out there honey, 

who don’t got a cent to their name, 

yea and you’re walking in the streets now,

looking for someone you can blame, 

Locked down by the PC police,

knocked down trying to get my release, 

the blood hounds always hot on the trail,

for the next petty issue they can mark for sale,

all the first world victimized profiteers,

just collect your tears then they oil the gears,

cause when you’re sad, you’re mad,

when you’re mad, you rage, 

and your rage makes you click upon the internet page,

and when you click upon the page

everybody gets paid,

and the sheep all flock to the false charade,

when it dies away they just do it again, 

cause where you’re freedoms end

that’s where their feelings begin, 

whenever speaking your mind becomes a crime

I find it’s better doing the time 

than living vocally blind,

you know control of your words 

is control of your thoughts,

well god damn, I think I’d rather be shot.

Why can’t anybody let me be,

and oh, how I love to cry,

Woe is me,

Because it feels like the world is stabbing in my back, 

Everybody’s got to have a bone to pick, 

Got my straw man standing ready too conflict, 

Everybody’s got to have a bone to pick, 

Ah huh
