Return of the Bully
05:56
|

You pulled me over in our home town
Yeah I guess it’s been awhile
See you’re still pushing people around
With the Systems’ blessing
It seems the perfect job for you
A gun and a badge
Grown-up bully in blue
Same old insecurity but its true
Nobody really liked you
I bet you even miss giving swirlies to the nerds
Your insecurities are on display
For everyone to see them each and every day
You can’t evade the trap they laid for you to
Be the hated visage of authority
And when you reflect on the life you led
The only thing you conclude is how you were used to
Generate some income for a failing system
That will not provide for those they have abused
La-la-la-la-la
La-la
etc
You gave a swirlie to my best friend
Back in elementary
Chased us across the football field
Back in junior high
Faced your brutality every day
Looked for any reason to stay away
High school ended; we made it through
Nobody really liked you
I will pay the ticket graciously provided
For my automotive indiscretion and I
Hope that you will ruminate upon the topics
I have shed a light on with my music so you
Don’t continue being such a bastard to the
People you encounter on a daily basis
Please accept my intercession in this inter
-section where Fate deemed our paths should cross again

My mind is not my own it belongs to Sara Tonin
Ten milligrams a day
Keep all my cares away
Lately it’s been difficult, so hard to keep my focus
I hear the voices speak
I haven’t slept for weeks
The doctor says it must be me, it couldn’t be the Prozac
Will he still be saying that?
When I chase him with an axe?
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Laaa laaa la laaa laaa laaa la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Laaa laaa la laaa laaa laaa la
Now that I’ve been locked away I won’t regain my freedom
It’ll come up for review
In another year or two
They’ll say I’m still too dangerous and shouldn’t be released
I couldn’t care less
In my own head I’m still free!

Another day in the cubicle
Kinda gets you down
Running on the corporate treadmill
They'll run you into the ground
You aren't moving fast enough
Gets so hard just keeping up and it
Takes it's toll on you
What are you going to do?
<chor>
As you claw and you scream
Through you re daily routine
You've become a machine
You don't know what it means
The car is loaded with luggage
Road food and some beer
A secret waiting in your garage
To get you out of here
Waiting for the coming day
Light seems so far away
Where will you be with the dawn
The place where dreams are done
<chor>
As you claw and you scream
Through your daily routine
You've gone out of your mind
And you're Not on their time
Now
<break>
Out there, something better waits
Out there, it' s a risk you take
It's a risk you take
It's a risk you take
<solo>
A thousand miles with the sun at your back
Wearing your wind-whipped grin
Its 10 am and they've figured out that
You're not coming in.
Cause you're out upon the road
And you're totally alone
And the sun is going down
You've gotten off the merry-go-round
<chor>
Now you've gotten away
From the tedious way
That you once called your own
And the desert's your home

I showed up late for work today
On my desk a memo lay
Telling me we all must go
At 10 to watch a video
The goal it seems to motivate
Employees to re-educate
Gain the necessary skills
To help the team and pay the bills
Something seems fishy to me
This guy from 1983
His tie is wide, his mustache large
How the hell is he in charge?
Can't hear a word he'd say
Words he speaks are all cliche
Save me from this Hallmark Hell
Wish for my job to get well
But
Hey Now
Did you hear the news at 11?
People are camping out on Wall St.
Likes this one guy whose name is Devon
He's got a story that can't be beat
His old job was simply heaven
Making 6 figures just to consultate
Now he works at 7-11
Selling Slurpees and other treats

Stupid People

He makes left turns from the right turn lane
Stupid people, doin stupid things
Starts a campfire with a can of gasoline
Stupid people doin stupid things
Vote for politicians and surprised when they lie
Stupid people doin stupid things
Stupid people doin stupid things till they die
Stupid people doin stupid things
Surfin in the ocean when you know you can’t swim
Bettin all your money on a horse that can’t win
Shootin up a place cause you say they’re in sin
Hatin on somebody for the color of their skin
Stupid people doin stupid things
Stupid people doin stupid things
Stupid people doin stupid things
Stupid people doin stupid things
25 items in the 10 express lane
Stupid people doin stupid things
People doin stupid things drive me insane
Stupid people doin stupid things
Talkin on the phone while you’re tryin to drive
Stupid people doin stupid things
Text somebody else and you won’t make it home alive
Stupid people doin stupid things
Surfin in the ocean when you know you can’t swim
Bettin all your money on a horse that can’t win
Shootin up a place cause you say they’re in sin
Hatin on somebody for the color of their skin
