My brother had a bad year
He had a hard time
My mother got a grandkid
I've had a lot of shit on my mind
But I never learned how to react
And I don't wanna know
Where I gotta go
I just want a place
I can hide away
Really rather stay at home
And if I don't wanna try
Everything is fine
Why am I on the bed
Crying every night?
Crying every night?
I've had a lot of shit on my mind (my heart!)
I've had a lot of shit on my mind
I've had a lot of shit on my mind (my heart!)
I've had a lot of this on my mind

Getting By
00:57

I took a breath and then I took a nap
I took a piece of food and petted the cat
I did the dishes and I swept the floor
I put my clothes away
I did the chores
And now I’m getting high
And now I’m getting by
And now I’m getting high
And now I’m getting by
Just as long as I’m with you
It’s the low, low hanging fruit

Electric Avenue

Now in the street there is violence
And lots of work to be done
No place to hang our washing
Can’t blame it all on the sun, oh no
I’m gonna walk down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
I’m gonna walk down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
Working so hard like a soldier
Can’t afford a thing on TV
Deep in my heart I abhor ya’
Can’t get no food for the kid
Good god
I’m gonna walk down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
I’m gonna walk down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
I’m gonna walk down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher
I’m gonna walk down to Electric Avenue
And then we’ll take it higher

Woah woah, don’t you know that I’m
I’m spinning out of control
Woah woah, don’t you know that I’m
I’m spinning out of control
Woah woah, don’t you know that I’m
I’m spinning out of control
Woah woah, don’t you know that I’m
I’m spinning out of control
And I’ve been spinning here all my life
All my life
Life
And all I’m looking for
Is a little bit of help
So
Maybe you can help me stop the spinning?
And if you can’t then I’ll just try to finish
Woah woah, don’t you know that I’m
I’m spinning out of control
Woah woah, don’t you know that I’m
I’m spinning out of control
Woah woah, don’t you know that I’m
I’m spinning out of control
Woah woah, don’t you know that I’m
I’m spinning out of control

Freelancing Now

I’m freelancing now
Last month I lost my job
And now I’m really struggling to get by
I was fired from a restaurant where the owners weren’t terribly nice
Since then I’ve been looking for work
And well, now I’m screaming into the void
If anybody’s got a dollar to throw around, baby, hit up your boy
I’m freelancing now
Guess it’s not a lot of fun, but—
I’ve been waiting for a guide to come
And put a lot of money in my hand
You can only be rejected so long
Before it really starts to get to you, man
Maybe one of you have seen me on television
Singing on live TV
Now I’m looking for a miracle
Or a single billionaire to help me, please
I’m freelancing now
Hello? Yup, this is him. Great! How are you? Uhh, not much. Okay. No, thank you… thank you for letting me know. Can I ask why I didn’t uh… quite qualify for the…? Hello? Hello? Good. Have a good day.
I’m freelancing
I’m freelancing

Cup Of Tea
03:32

Teapot in the middle of the frame
And it makes me go eeeeeh
Diamond on the tip of the spout
Perfect for a pinkie ring
Hotdog legs maybe they’re buns
I don’t know, what’s his intention?
But there’s a cool looking water loop
Going ‘round the front of the whole entire screen
That’s my kind of cup of tea
That’s my kind of cup of tea
A funny man in the background
Looking so blue yet so olympic
But I don’t care man if he’s outta’ place
I’m here and I’m feeling friendly, uh
But behind all the color and the joy
It’s a dark and geometric
Eye in the sky this 3D theme is alive
So dope and so effective
It’s got me saying
That’s my kind of cup of tea
That’s my kind of cup of tea
That’s my kind of cup of tea
That’s my kind of cup of tea
That’s my kind of cup of tea
That’s my kind of cup of tea
Alone, concealed
It gives me such a thrill
Alone, concealed
It gives me such a thrill
Alone, concealed
It gives me such a thrill
Alone, concealed
It gives me such a thrill
Alone, concealed
It gives me such a thrill
Alone, concealed
It gives me such a thrill
Alone, concealed
It gives me such a thrill
Alone, concealed
It gives me such a thrill
That’s my kind of cup of tea
That’s my kind of cup of tea
That’s my kind of cup of tea
That’s my kind of cup of tea

Brother Named Sam
03:17

Oh, my little brother
My brother named Sam
I kicked him and punched him
Like a battering ram
But these days when I’d fight him
They would soon come to pass
When my little brother named Sam
Kicked my ass
Well, I was just ten then
And Sam was just eight
I’d call him a name and
Sam would fall for the bait
But little did I know
Sam had put on some mass
Just enough extra leverage
And Sam kicked my ass
We were in the basement
Sam sat next to me
Professional wrestling
Was on the TV
I went for the headlock
But it would be my last
And for Sam the first time
That he’d kick my ass
Woah, Sam, you used to run away from me
But now, my little brother
Please, please
Please
If I could go back then
In all my good health
I’d say, listen up kid
Keep your hands to yourself
Hold the hand of your brother
Hold him close and holdfast
‘Cause one day he won’t be there
To kick your ass
