hide away

I don't want to argue with the facts
I want to act
like nothing ever happened
I can only argue with my heart
when it starts
its incessant finger snapping
when I try to keep
emotions to myself
I always end up
hurting someone else
so let me hide away
let me hide away

when did I disappear (new final verse)

when I wake up tomorrow
I'll still be someone else
searching through my memories
for a souvenir of myself
I can't bear another minute
of you not being near
when did I disappear

born long time ago

I was born
long time ago
when time was long
and life was slow
ask me something
I'll share my thoughts
sadly, truth is
I forgot
days go fast
here's how I know
I was born
long time ago

in my Hollywood

in my Hollywood
land of illusion and light
racism still wins

I guess I'll learn

I'm afraid to live with love
but I guess I'll learn

cleaning the refrigerator

at times life is like
cleaning the refrigerator
you gotta throw things out
before they get too cold
and don't put in
something you'll throw out later
you see, sometimes life's
just a big chunk of mold

this old town

take a deep breath
drink a glass of water
and tell me where you were
when it all went down
it's lucky you're alive
they'd kill you for a quarter
they're making a mockery
out of this old town

used to be back when
everything was hunky dory
you got what you needed
through sweat and hard work
now it's completely
an entirely different story
the rich get richer
and the poor get hurt
