Bakehouse 03:09
Jenny's in the Bakehouse bakin' bread Sad little tears runnin' down her head Jenny's in the Bakehouse bakin' bread Jenny always wishin' she were dead She will always give the boys what they want So many nights beside the phone Just feeling so alone So many nights beside the phone Just couldn't take it anymore

S.O.C.K.S. 03:57
It's only you and yourself; a lonely clock of the shelf Sun is about to come up and you’re dreading what's coming No sense in waking up, don’t feel like getting up In the morning You wake; the room is all wrong. You feel you can’t get along In the morning Don’t fit into your own shoes, you've got no rhythm just blues In the morning No sense in waking up, don’t feel like getting up In the morning You feel you're better off alone Still just you and yourself, that lonely clock on the shelf The sun is peek-peeking up and you're dreading what's coming No sense in waking up, don’t feel like getting up In the morning You wake; the room is still wrong. You feel you can’t get along In the morning Don’t fit into your own shoes, you've got no rhythm just blues In the morning No sense in waking up, don’t feel like getting up In the morning You feel you're better off alone ES O SI QUE ES

There’s a place where my contributions don’t mean shit I keep putting in my hours 'cause I’m too poor to quit But there is a place where my thoughts are appreciated And my feelings are just sounds communicated Just let me go To the place that I call home When my stress is building and I need to disconnect There’s nothing I do that has quite the effect Of heading to the back room and picking out the tones That make my frustrations known Just let me go To the place that I call home I put in my maximum effort Put in my heart and soul I put in my maximum effort Into the things I love Just let me go To the place that I call home

Insecure 02:42
Faced with an adventure and you've got all you need Your insides are Jell-O but no one asks you how you feel because outside you're steel What do you want me to say How can I let you know that you will be okay? Fighting through the jungle In an endless sea of vines Your thoughts your worst enemy Your mind is your blade Maybe all your efforts vain What do you want me to say How can I let you know that you will be okay? When they tell you you're pretty And the tell you you're clever It's not a ploy just to make you feel better The world isn't lying Don't listen to your fears Help will always be near What do you want me to say How can I let you know that you will be okay?

Going Down 03:31
I left my heart in a paper bag On your front porch Oh so sad You lit a fire and you stomped it out, Sent me into a world of doubt I don't think I can hang I don't think I can take pain No sense in waiting for it No life, no sense of catharsis I feel that i could use a pick me up But instead I'm going down I left my heart in a paper bag On your front porch (Oh so sad) You lit a fire and you stomped it out, sent me into a world of doubt I don't think I can hang I don't think I can take pain No sense in waiting for it No life, no sense of catharsis I feel that i could use a pick me up But instead I'm going down I drove by your house last night Just to see if you were still alive i don't think I can hang I don't think I can take pain No sense in waiting for it No life, no sense of catharsis I feel that i could use a pick me up But instead I'm going down No sense in waiting for it No life, no sense of catharsis I feel that i could use a pick me up But instead I'm going...

Dreamers 02:24
Took a window seat on the drive home Saw the clouds outside, an ever-darkening sky The bus it hit a bump, my shit feel down on the floor I tried to pick it up, but I don’t care anymore I know that I was supposed to be home ‘bout an hour ago, I’m really sorry, Ma, just tryin’ to make us some dough The guy on TV said that I should live in Mexico, I’ve never really been there, never been there before To them I’m just another immigrant To them I’m just another son of a bitch We don’t have a voice We don’t get a choice We don’t have a voice Go back home I don’t belong here I don’t belong there I live my life in a kind of haze We don’t have a voice We don’t get a choice We don’t have a voice Go back home
