Say What You Will Clarence...Karl Sold the truck lyrics

Stranger

I said "Hey brown girl I seen tears through the window of the junk shop
downtown"
Selling trinkets from your far off homeland, did the Promise land let you down?

I said "hey young boy I notice that you ain't afraid to walk next to me"
"Old man, you look like you're dying, is that all you want is a quarter from
me?"

Money talks these days and everybody listens
We're whipping out our wallets trying to but what we're missing

Money screams out "I need a slave"
I'm just trying to find some worker to dig my grave

Everybody's listening, everybody's listening, all those eyes are glistening
I need more, a little more, in a little while

I say those???
Machines?

The sun's creeping up and stomping on my dreams
Works all right, party's fine, but sleeping is my scene

The traffic inside your head is tearing you apart
Stick your fingers down my throat and grab on to my heart

And I'm walking a little closer
Gonna rise up, take you away,
Sunday's just another day

Her eyes shine like oceans, her skin is like the earth

I'm hung up on a wire so thin,
tearing out what's been trapped in
My puppet strings, been pulled too tight
I can see the real me's going to be a bloody fight
I'm your Voodoo doll don't you hear my call

Trying so hard to forget, got my bottles, got my pills, got my TV set
I'm imprisoned by my passion, i;m a slave to my trade
How can you be so possessed by the profit that's been made

I'm sick of that song about how you lost your lover
Sick of that song about how you hate your mother
Sick of that song laced with useless solutions
I'm sick of that song about how you look at life
Sick of that song about how you beat your wife
Sick of that song about China Problem
I'm sick of that song about sex and drugs and rock
Sick of that song about how you love your cock

Nail myself way up high and I'm gonna die for you
The mother offers up the child to the preaching of channel two

The empires rise and the babies cry, when is the lesson to be learned
And all I hear is the commercials and now the crosses are gonna burn

Now I ain't gonna be the cure to wash away your sins
Why so the children have to pay for the poor planning that you did

Mine is a lonely one, I forgot to have fun, standing under the street light
Ever so nervously, people lookin' down on me, telling me it's all right

If it were up to me I'd tear down this whole city, what's all this sh*t here for?
I give you my heart, but you just say I make you feel like a whore

All this trouble just to die, all this trouble's only temporary, it's temporary, temporary

When I'm with my friends my troubles end
I'm one of the boys, so self employed

When we're together, could last forever
And I'm almost there

I'm away from the boss, at least for awhile
I'm away from the girls that cramp my style

I'm away from the jerks, I'm away from the works
And I'm almost there, I'm almost there

And it's happy time, happy, happy time

Long distance information, ring me 608
Laughing at the other end
get me my prescription, come and walk my dog
please get me anything

You can't seal fate with a kick
You should know it doesn't work that way
As for your lofty aspirations
You couldn't give them all away (throw away)

Those precious things that juist don't last (throw away)
Everybody's been cut like broken glass

Protect and serve, slice my nerve
Gotta make sure everybody’s gonna get what they deserve

Make my plea, I’m down on my knees
Street cowboy with a badge that says can do what you please
Do what you please, do what you please, do what you please

Rape me, take me, shine your lights so I can’t see
Holsters, guns and uniform just don’t impress

AAA So you think I got a problem
You think its all to clear
Got fucking mental of disorder
Wheres the fucking order around here?
Im a spacehead im not a stupid head
I am a space head just open minded
Spacehead(x2)
Why when I cry do I hang my head down low?
How do you move so fast but think so slow?
???????????/
I hang my head the way I let it flow
Im a spacehead im not a stupid head
