Charlie has no use for me so he sat me down and set me free Always hoped I'd catch a break Instead that break's laid into me Don't miss my boss, don't miss my cube Don't miss that corporate attitude The only thing I really miss Is paying rent and buying food (chorus) So tell me Charlie what you've got to say When a working man can't work for another day You can knock me down, show me the door But I'll keep coming back for more So now I have all day to sit To cast the blame and pitch a fit To ...

Cotton mouth in another town I drank the river dry Traveling with a broken crown, a demon passing by I watched the blackbirds taking flight like ashes in the wind They disappeared into the night and I felt my spirit bend (chorus) I'd scream right up to heaven if I thought it'd do me good I'd wash my hands of sin, if I really thought I could I'd speak my mind right now if I had half a mind to give and I'd lay right down and die if I had ever... really lived I went and killed a man today I watc...

We had a blizzard yesterday. At least, that’s what the news channels were calling it. Bottom line, it snowed…a lot. They warned us. By 9:am, the world was covered in a blanket of soft fluffy snow. Schools were smart; they closed. The public education system is required by law to care about the general well-being of the student body. Safety concerns, apparently, are something we grow out of as we hit adulthood. It goes hand in hand with giving up a rousing game of kick ball at recess and the a...

I'm losing myself, or was I someone else? Tucked away somewhere on some shelf... What happened to my accent?

Has this been set to music? I really like it. It has some really smart lyrics. It feels like something Shannon Hoon or Ani Difranco might write. I'm not sure about the meaning of the song, is it about playing to a hostile audience? I sepecially love this verse pattern: We’re all seeking to be different, High-achieving and so unique. Crave to open a new life of possibilities And when we’re upset by the changes… Start longing for the antique. I'd really like to hear the music.
I really like this one. It has a positive undertone to it, but still keeps an honest and realistic level of life's burdens in it. It doesn't come across as a sappy life-affirming disney song. I'd love to hear what it sounds like with music.
this is good...poignant...true... Is it a poem, or a song? Every time I read lyrics I try to imagine the music... I imagine this one to be a lilting, ethereal ballad.
This is a tight song. I don't know how it fits musically or what genre this song fits, but from a lyrical standpoint, it brings to mind the gothic-americana sound, conjuring those rustic hellfire images I love so much. (I'm in a goth-am band called Strawfoot) Has this been set to music? Is it available to listen to? nicely done.
I really like the flow of this. I have a feeling I'm misinterpreting the lyrics, though. Of course, that's the beauty of music and a song, like a painting, we all fins our own personal message. Though I'd like to know what the true point was... it seemed to me it was a song about a woman who yearned for freedom and a different life, but stuffed those feelings down deep inside her once she had children, putting them at the center of her universe, while quietly yearning for a different life. Am...
