___________________________________________________________________
Let's start with this touching and sensitive examination of the fragile and transitory nature of life...
Drop Dead
You could pull the shades down, spend your whole life watching TV
Eat a lotta donuts, gain a lotta weight, it's easy
Or you could pump some iron, and do a lotta reps
You could get some definition in your pecs
But either way you go, someday you're gonna Drop Dead
You could be a monk, take a vow to never marry
Eat a lotta brown rice, never leave the monastery
Or you could hit the bars, every single night
You could put the moves on every girl in sight
But either way you go, someday you're gonna Drop Dead
You could be a banker, worship the almighty dollar
Watch your bank account grow, while your personality gets smaller
Or you could give away, every dime you've got
You could never have a single selfish thought
But either way you go, someday you're gonna Drop Dead
_____________________________________________________I think this one speaks for itself...
Toe Tag On My Love Life
When my baby grabbed her suitcase
And started for the door
My love life felt a chest pain
Like it never felt before
When she told me it was over
And said she wasn't comin' back
It was then my love life
Had its fatal heart attack
Now there's a Toe Tag On My Love Life
It's as dead as dead can be
There's a Toe Tag On My Love Life
Now it's just a memory
Now the cold and lifeless body
Is on a slab down at the morgue
It's just another love life
That was tragically cut short
The moral here is obvious
I think you will agree
You should keep a girlfriend on the side
Or you'll wind up like me
Now there's a Toe Tag On My Love Life
It's as dead as dead can be
There's a Toe Tag On My Love Life
Now it's just a memory
_______________________________________________________True love is so rare....
I Can't Make It Without YouYou said we were through, you took your love and you left
What was worse, you took your big-screen TV set
How could you walk out when you know our love is true
How could you walk out when you know the rent is due
I Can't Make It Without You
Without your love, I won't get by
I Can't Make It Without You
Won't you come back before I die
I miss the little things that you used to do
Like the dishes and the laundry, too
I miss the way you used to give me chills
I miss the way you used to pay the bills
I Can't Make It Without You
Without your love, I won't get by
I Can't Make It Without You
Won't you come back before I die
Let's see if we can't rekindle that ol' flame
A love like this don't come along every day
Come on back, baby, from wherever you are
I need your love, I need your car
I Can't Make It Without You
Without your love, I won't get by
I Can't Make It Without You
Won't you come back before I die
___________________________________________________________
Why Don't You Move?
I know that it's over between you and me
You made it quite clear that you had to be free
So now I would just like to forget the past
Is that too much to ask?
But every time that I step out my door
It seems no matter where I am headed for
There is one thing I can count on to be true
I'm gonna run into you
Why Don't You Move?
I think it's the least that you can do
After all you put me through
Baby, Why Don't You Move?
Just when I start to forget you exist
And start to forget all those nights that we kissed
Just when I think I might live through this yet
That's when I see you againWhy Don't You Move?
I think it's the least that you can do
After all you put me through
Baby, Why Don't You Move?
Pack up your bags just as fast as you can
If you like I will lend you a hand
'Cause this town is big but now it's plain to see
There's only room here for me
Why Don't You Move?
I think it's the least that you can do
After all you put me through
Baby, Why Don't You Move?

The title says it all. The title says it all. The title....
Be Redundant
Redundant
It means that it has been said before
But it doesn't mean you can't say it some more
Be Redundant
Come on and say things lots of times
See if you can't drive people out of their minds
Go on and on and on and on
On the topic of your choice
It's so much fun to listen to
The sound of your own voice
So Be Redundant
And if you do it right
You can say the same thing til you die
(and here's how)
Go on and on and on and on
On the topic of your choice
It's so much fun to listen to
The sound of your own voice
So Be Redundant - that's all I've got to say
Be Redundant - I'll say it again, anyway
Be Redundant - c'mon, give it a try
Be Redundant - don't be shy
Be Redundant - don't say it all in one breath
Be Redundant - beat it to death

Somebody was listening to too much talk radio...
Whaddaya Think?
Should we legalize all drugs, should we just say what the hell
Drive the dealers outta business, and set up our own cartel
Do we ban all fossil fuels, would that help clean up the air
Or do we keep our Eldorados, and take a gas mask everywhere
Does a woman have a right to an abortion on demand
Or can the government step in and say there's been a change of plan
Should we get paper or plastic, which way should we go
Or should we bring our own bags, or should we just stay home
Whaddaya Think? Make up your mind
Where do you stand? Come on, decide
It's enough to push you right over the brink
Whaddaya Think? Whaddaya Think? Whaddaya Think?
Do we give the junkies needles, so they maybe don't get AIDS
Or do we figure what's the point, they'll probably die soon, anyways
Are the fillings in your mouth gonna give you some disease
Or does your dentist just need money, cause you got no cavities
Do all the convicts on death row deserve to get the chair
Or do we give 'em life, and let the Lord take it from there
Did Oswald pull the trigger, did he do it all alone
Do you believe the Warren Commission, or Oliver Stone
Whaddaya Think? Make up your mind
Where do you stand? Come on, decide
It's enough to push you right over the brink
Whaddaya Think? Whaddaya Think? Whaddaya Think?
Do you think we can repair the damage to the ozone layer
Or do you figure it's too late as you crank up the central air
And what about the guy who's sleeping in a cardboard box
Do we help him off the streets, or do we buy a few more locks
Do we close up all the borders, send back all the refugees
Do we have our fill of wretched refuse yearning to breathe free
Is Elvis still alive somewhere driving in his Caddy
Or is he buried in the yard next to his momma and his daddy
Whaddaya Think? Make up your mind
Where do you stand? Come on, decide
It's enough to push you right over the brink
Whaddaya Think? Whaddaya Think? Whaddaya Think?

Thief In The Night
My heart has been stolen before
Lovers have taken it right out the door
So I put it under lock and key
To keep it safe from a robbery
But somehow you slipped in undetected
You must have your trade perfected
'Cause by the time I knew what was goin' on
It was too late, my heart was gone
Just like a Thief In The Night
You stole away this heart of mine
You pulled off the perfect crime
Just like a Thief In The Night
Too bad there ain't no law against it
I just might have you arrested
But I really don't want you under lock and key
I want you doin' your time with me
Just like a Thief In The Night
You stole away this heart of mine
You pulled off the perfect crime
Just like a Thief In The Night
