cell phone blues
Cell Phone Blues
​
on my way back home
I left my cell phone
on a subway platform
how stupid can I be?
​
I get on the train
like there's nothing wrong
realization hits me
I'm a mile away
​
I let out a scream
and I turn my way back
and hope that my cell phone
wasn't stolen away
​
And I swore to god
that I'd sell my soul
just so my cell phone
would still be right there
​
I get off the train
and lo and behold
my precious cell phone
was still plugged in right there
​
But my mind went dark
when I realized
I'd given my soul away
for a little piece of plastic
​
I still can't beleive
that I am not free
that I am a slave
to technology
Carry On
​
Carry on, carry on
we raise a glass to you
we wish that you could have
seen all we could do
so we'll carry on for you
​
we lay him down like a king
if we'd had known he was in pain
that wonderful idiot
could've had the world
so we'll carry him on in our hearts
​
Carry on, carry on
we raise a glass to you
we wish that you could have
seen all we could do
so we'll carry on for you
we'll carry on for you
Red Tape Lines
​
Chased down all the time
demanded to pay the fine
my soul don't look good
drowning in red tape lines
I don't wanna die
I just wanna feel alive
​
Life always gets so tough
never can get enough
days where I get no peace
I just want some sweet relief
​
Don't take it away
the joy to life, you'd make me pay
I cannot obey
don't wanna life my life so afraid
​
I never can be strong
but I know my right from my wrong
a child dies everyday
for it, every man must pay
​
If I were to relent
I'd just be a shell of a man
Love, pride, joy, hate, and fear
Have you no emotions, my dear?
​
I'd rather life go unplanned
than to go on living in a can
I'd rather be uncontrolled
than to be forced into the mould
