LEGO MANIAC
L-E-G-O…
L-E-G-O M-A-N-I-A-C, Let’s go!
I was a lego maniac
Stacks and stacks on stacks and stacks
I built them up to hide where I was at
Stacks and stacks on stacks and stacks
L-E-G-O M-A-N-I-A-C, Let’s go!
L-E-G-O M-A-N-I-A-C, Let’s go!
We built our homes
on tectonic plates
we watched it all shake
until it flattened, and what a shame
yeah, I know we made some mistakes…
didn’t count the pieces,
and we built it all wrong…
L-E-G-O M-A-N-I-A-C, Let’s go!
L-E-G-O M-A-N-I-A-C, Let’s go!
My dad makes LEGO art
Pirates with movable parts
He made me too, when I got the part
He even gave me a LEGO heart
He didn’t count the pieces,
Just carried on, stacks and stack…
didn’t use the manual
and built me all wrong
Stacks and stacks, woo.
L-E-G-O M-A-N-I-A-C, Let’s go!
L-E-G-O M-A-N-I-A-C, Let’s go!
L-E-G-O M-A-N-I-A-C, Let’s go!
L-E-G-O M-A-N-I-A-C, Let’s go!
L-E-G-O M-A-N-I-A-C, Let’s go!
L-E-G-O M-A-N-I-A-C, Let’s go!
L-E-G-O M-A-N-I-A-C, Let’s go!

EARLY DELUSIONS
not a "cool kid"
nobody likes me
I sit alone at recess
and hang by myself
not a cruel kid,
I use my imagination
and I pretend
everybody’s my friend
these were my early delusions…
is life just an illusion?
is life just an illusion?
these were my earliest delusions
who am I fooling?
Nobody likes me
I sit alone in my room
Try not to hang myself
Not a fool, kid’,
No proclamations
Just pretend
I’m already at the end
these were my early delusions…
is life just an illusion?
is life just an illusion?
these were my earliest delusions.
and I hardly ever think of them
And I know that one day I’ll be dead
So until then, I’m going to ride on a stationary horse.

INOCULATION
Inoculation / inoculation
oh no, I think it’s pretty clear
that we are all sick in our minds, and
the things, it spouts out our lips.
Enter our ears like pathogens
I hoped by now to be immune to them… but till then…
inoculation / inoculation
inoculation / inoculation
under microscopes its clear,
in our minds, and the things, it spouts out our lips!
I think someone better get to the cure
as quickly as we can, no time to defer…
inoculation
we got to find a natural immunity
inoculation
can't let this ruin our community
inoculation
we can come together, seems obvious to me / inoculation
we can still be friends even if we disagree,
but are we disagreeing? Woo hehehaha
Use to be a fungus
lived on other planets
single celled organism
with multiple habits...
I am a thinker, and a day drinker
I’m habitual with everything I tinker
I have many cousins,
some can heal this planet.
some eat the oil spills -
some help understand us.
some to free our minds,
some to fight diseases,
others can kill you off -
I don’t think they’re needed.
Some to take to war…
some remind what love is for
some grew in the garden of Eden,
contains knowledge, that’s why I eat them.

EAST MOUNTAIN VIEW DRIVE
east mountain view drive
east mountain view drive
east mountain view drive
no mountains in sight
helicopters overhead every night
everyone’s inside
east mountain view drive
east mountain view drive
east mountain view drive
lock your doors and hide
someone’s coming through the window
same junkie who just robbed you.
east mountain view drive
east mountain view drive

no mountains in sight

Stationary Horse

STATIONARY HORSE
we're riding a stationary horse
so we don’t ever veer off course
(but of course)
we don't mind, if we never get there!
we don't mind, we don't mind if we ever get there!
life’s riding on a stationary horse
I hope these springs can stand the force (but of course)
I don’t mind if I never get there! Ewe
I won’t mind if tomorrow aint fair
I’ll make up my mind, I’ll make up my mind
I’ll make up my mind when it gets clear
(never going to get clear)
I’m content now, just to stay here
(tomorrow only holds our fears)
Until then, homies going to ride!!!
At sunrise, I’ll rise with my mare, woo!
I don't mind if I never get there!
I don't mind if I never get there!
Going to take a ride on out to nowhere…

MY FOLKS ARE GOOD
yeah, I know my folks are good...
that they did the best that they could...
and it’s not easy
with a demon like me for a son
and they made sure it’s understood
yeah, I know my folks are good
punished me like they should
and its not easy
with a demon like me for a son
and I’m just misunderstood, woo!
mom threw me out with the bath water
she'll try again for another, wooooo!!!!
God I hope you find (16x)
God I hope you find some holy son
but there’s a demon in everyone...
I’m a mistake...
but my folks are good!
yeah, I know my folks are good...
that they did the best that they could
and it’s not easy
with a demon like me for a son
and they made sure it’s understood

1992 ADDITION
1986 I was formed
1987 I was born
1988 dads already gone
1989 just me and mom
1990 new dad sprung
1991 Lego phenomenon
1992 addition, little sister, new division
1993 eyes were fine
1994 it just rhymed
bruised my ribs in 1995…
we can't wait for 1999!!! Woo!
2000 and nothing changed!
2001 skies were clear
2002 freshmen year
‘03, ‘04 and ‘05 -
graduated, still alive...
2006 got a job
now 2000- something odd,
time travel is still fiction
I’m longing for 1991
let me get a revision
all these years’ calculation
let me get a revision
1992 addition
wish it was still 1986
back when I did not exist
