ONE PERCENT by Anthony Moser
Ninety nine percent don’t have the gold you pay the rent
You’re working hard you’re getting stiffed
I ain’t no chump you catch my drift
You know you just got to be that one percent
Ninety nine percent why can’t you save what I have spent
Why can’t you straighten what I’ve bent
Why can’t you cover what I’ve lent
You know you just got to spot me that one percent
Heavy is the wealthy head that wears the golden crown
You don’t know how hard it is to keep you people down
One has got to win some ninety-nine has got to lose
One percent can keep the money
ninety-nine can pay the dues
You just got to be that one percent
You and everybody that you know
and everyone you’ve ever met
all put together still won’t make a dent
You just got to be that one percent

refrain: I got it all, got it all, got it all, got it all
I don't have food but I do have candy
I don't have shoes but I do have sandals
No light bulbs but I do have candles
I don't have goths but I don't have vandals
Got nothin in the world but I don't have cancer
I don't have whiskey but I do have beer
I don't have anger but I do have fear
No driver's license but I'm fine right here
Today's not Christmas but I'm full of cheer
I got nothin in the world at least not this year
Bridge:
I don't have sugar but I got my baby
I don't have yes but I might have maybe
The road ain't straight but I'm all right with wavy
Got no hard rhymes but I can still be savvy
I don't have sleep but I do have coffee
I don't have many friends but they call fairly often
No mob connections but they also won't off me
No one to listen, but I can sing softly
I got nothin in the world but my plans are lofty

Transhuman Blues

I'm trapped in my body
like a fish trapped in mud
give me new eyes to see with
let my heart beat new blood
new eyes new ears new hands new feet
new thoughts to think I want a new shining sun
for my pillow
starry crown for my head
I'm gonna kill all the living
and raise all the dead
new legs to kick new lips to kiss new toes to tap new fists to crush new forms to find new peace of mind new forms of new I want a new make me a new make me anew
build me a new body
and I'll make my own new soul
I'll be a new man
be in control
Oh death might come looking
but he will not find me
I will drink the elixir
eat from the tree

Morning Song
02:14
|

and in the morning
before the sun creeps through my window
I sing this song: ba da da da da da
da da da da, da da da, da da da da da
and when I breathe in
breathe in the air that's all around me
the oxygen goes through my heart and down
down da da da, da da da, da da da da da
all through my body
all through my body
all through my ba-da da da da da da
da da da da da da da da da da da da dum
and when the light dies
and when the light dies
and when the light dies
I sing this song: ba da da da da da
da da da da da da da da da da da da dum
and when the light dies
and when the light dies
and when the light dies
I sing this song: ba da da da da da
da da da da da da da da da da da da dum

Back and Forth
03:00
|
|||
I think I might I ought I don't know what to do
maybe perhaps really I should but then again
maybe I won't I guess I could
I re-decide again and again
Sometimes it's so much trouble I wonder if it's really worth it
I go back and forth

Bitter Old Man
05:28
|
|||
You bitter old man
you sorrowful shell
you will drown in a well
full of tears that you shed for yourself
you bitter old man
you slowing machine
you clock winding down
you have a dessicated petrified frown
and nothing else as your gears grind low
you slowing machine
you leaf in the fall
you cloud in the sky
we both see your life
and have to ask why
you leaf in the fall
you float on the wind
descend or move on
going unremembered by

Google Is Listening
04:02

When you need
When you need
When you need
A sympathetic ear
Google is listening
when you need to talk to someone you hold dear
Google is listening
In the middle of the night
when you have questions with no answers
Google is listening
Google is listening
Google is listening
When you think you're all alone
Google is listening
When there's nobody home
Google is listening
Sharing secrets in the dark
with your lover or your friends
Google is listening
Google is listening
Google is listening
Everybody needs a listener
Who never says a word
and every advertiser wants
to make their message heard
If you need a car or a toy or a girl or a boy
Google is listening
what you like, where you go,
who you call, what you know as Google is listening
When what you need is someone
who knows you better than you know yourself
Google is listening
Google is listening
Google is listening
Listening, listening
They're listening
early in the morning
late in the midnight hour
when I'm talking with my baby
they're listening
I've got em right here in my pocket
listening
listening

Test II

I for you
I am like no other lover you know
I for you
I am like no other lover you know
I for you
I am like no other lover you know
Reconvalesce the excess in your dress
Reconstitute your cute little root
Will you take me home with you and wrap me in attire
Will you take me home with you and set me on fire
Will you take me home with you now don't be so defensive
Will you take me home with you I'm not all that expensive
Will you take me home with you oh I'm not one for bragging
Will you take me home with you you know the evening's dragging
Remultiply your crying goodbyes
Resignify the divide between sides
Instr. Break
I for you
I am like no other lover
Will you take me home with you and wrap me in attire
Will you take me home with you and set me on fire
Will you take me home with you now don't be so defensive
Will you take me home with you I'm not all that expensive

Blue Darkness
03:14
|

They say there's a moon that glows above me
but no moon have I seen
They say there's a sun that makes the daytime
but no sun have I seen
They say that there's stars that light the heavens
but no stars reach my eyes
They say there is darkness
They say there is darkness
They say there is darkness all around me
But no dark covers my eyes
This world of lights
It shines so brightly
It hurts my eyes

That Old Feeling Is Gone
10:14
|
|||
How could you ever worry baby
With a heart that's made of stone?
So grab your hat and hurry
cause you should have been gone
Science is busy makin new things out of old
The love I have for you is slowly turning cold
History has turned on another page
I used to love you baby but this is a different age
I know you don't think I mean it
But I swear to the stars above
I'm through with you forever
So go back to the one you love
The dream that I was building
around you tumbled down
you're always welcome dear
whenever you come around
I've found somebody new
To carry my business on
I used to love you baby
but now that old feeling is gone
