Ain't It Funny

Ain’t it funny just how it works sometimes
Life’s all about timing, rhythm and rhyme
Now all I have are my hopes and dreams
And all of those have frayed at the seams
Playin rock n’ roll and partyin hard
Crashin parties and hanging in the bars
Little did I know I’d want some more
Give it all I could, this I swore
Love is the law (Love Under Will)
Ego’s the flaw (A fault you must fill)
So I formed a band and wrote some songs
Was sounding real good, at least we thought
Come to find out, not everyone cares
Whether or not you go anywhere
Well I figured out that it’s not for them
Grabbed my guitar hit the stage again
And I’ll play till I can’t no more
Whether or not I make the score
Love is the law (Love Under Will)
Ego’s the flaw (A fault you must fill)

Everyman
Woke up this mornin’
In a cold sweat
To the nightmare of life
And my safe bets
It’s not really how
I’d imagined it’d be
I believed all my lies
And their treachery
I thought I was one
Of the good guys
But I’m just like the rest
I’ve broken my ties
Thought I'd given
Too much of myself
Turned out I was wrong
They took so much from me
You can take yours
And I'll take mine
Break my foolish ways
Leave it all behind
I did all I could
to play by the rules
Turned out it made me
Just another fool
I had been molded
Into the wrong machine
My talents used
For another's means
Now I broke away
From others desires
Focused on my own say
I'll make my own way
So, get these gears movin'
shovel in the coals
Get the fire burnin'
Start up this machine
(I can’t even see)
What I'm supposed to be
(Learning to be free)
So much cost to me
(I can't even see)
Bleeding on my knees
(Listen to my plea)
You can take yours
And I'll take mine
Break my foolish ways
Leave it all behind
I've just punched out
And I've made my dime
Then the word came
Through the grapevine
My job is never done
Always called upon
Just to be the
Dutiful son
Now I'm home again
Thrown off my coat
Of today's weight
So I can start again
So, get these gears movin'
shovel in the coals
Get the fire burnin'
Start up this machine
(I have finally seen)
What I'm supposed to be
(Learning to be free)
So much cost to me
(Now you've heard my plea)
Bleeding on my knees
(Learning to be free)

What I Believe

What I Believe
Let me tell ya, what I believe
I believe in love, and that's all I need
I was holdin on to my false hope
Not an easy thing, but I let it go
Truly believe in love, you might too
Either way, don’t try to prove
Have your faith, it’s for yourself
Not to push on anyone else
People will sell you on their hopes and dreams
Not really understanding what they mean
(Give it up) It’s not your fight
(Let it go) Cuz it’s not your right
This is what I believe
And it's good enough for me
And I hope that you find peace
In any faith that you believe
Not preaching hate, and ignorance
Just because, we're all different
So give it up, let it be
We were born, and will die equally
People will sell you on their hopes and dreams
Not really understanding what they mean
(Give it up) It’s not your fight
(Let it go) Cuz it’s not your right

Fire Woman
Fire woman, yeah
Shake, shake, shake, shake it, yeah
Wound up, can't sleep, can't do anything right, little honey
Oh, since I set my eyes on you
I tell you the truth
T-t-t-t-twistin' like a flame in a slow dance, baby
You're driving me crazy
Come on, little honey
Come on now
Fire
Smoke, she is a rising fire, yeah
Smoke on the horizon, well
Fire
Smoke, she is a rising fire
Oh, smokestack lightning
Smokestack lightning
Well, shake it up, you're to blame, got me swayin' little honey
My heart's a ball of burnin' flame
Oh, yes it is
Trancing like a cat on a hot tin shack
Lord, have mercy
Come on little sister
Come on and shake it
Fire
Smoke, she is a rising fire
Oh, smoke on the horizon, yeah
Fire
Smoke, she is a rising fire
Oh, smokestack lightning, baby
I was thinking what I've been missing
I'll tell you truthfully, well
She's coming close now
Oh, I can feel her
She's getting close to me
And I never, yeah
Fire
Smoke, she is a rising fire
Oh, smoke on the horizon
Fire
Smoke, she is a rising, rising, rising fire
Smokestack lightning
A-j-j-j...
Burnin' out
And shake it, baby.
Come on and burn it.
I say send down fire to me
Say send down fire to me
Say send down fire to me, yeah!
Fire woman, you're to blame...

O.D.S.
Woke up today
'round noon I'd say
A little hungover
But not in a bad way
You see I was out real late
For no particular date
Was drinkin some whiskey
To get to a different state
It's not a rare thing
To find me at the bars
Holding onto life
Through the scars
I know that you don't like it
And I don't really care
But it's where you'll find me
When life ain't fair
(So I say)
Fuck what you do, I don’t care what you say
I’m gonna drink all night, and party all day
So wont you join me, fuck the world tonight
Let's have another drink, we'll be doin alright
Whoa
Whoa
Poured myself
Some hair of the dog
'lit up a smoke
To lift the fog
As I made my way through
The drunken memories
I cracked a smile
At the new stories
Cuz a girl is leavin
To do her walk of shame
I probably wont call her
Cuz I don't know her name
So we'll share our tales
And try to blaze new trails
Let's grab a fine ale
And do it all again
Fuck what you do, I don’t care what you say
I’m gonna drink all night, and party all day
So wont you join me, fuck the world tonight
Let's have another drink, we'll be doin alright
Whoa
Whoa
