M.I.A. 01:30
M.I.A. Have you ever been standing in line , Thinking to yourself. If it wasn’t for this dollar store I don’t know how id live. In your hand a dollar toothbrush in the other a dollar paste. You bought it with the money you got from counting up your change. Because at home you needed it at home it was all gone. Your wife used it all up polishing her jewelry to pawn. Between us we got twenty dollars on a pre-paid Visa card and an eight dollar cell phone but the minutes are all gone. But I stick with her and she sticks with me and she sticks with me because I stick with her and again I stick with her because she sticks with me. We are M.IA. ..M.I.A. in the was on poverty.

Ballad of a long haired country boy. I was sitting in a bar on the south side of town. Had a whiskey and a couple of beers. Just sitting sipping smoking and thinking washing my cares away. When a country boy sits down beside me . He says I just got out of county . And if you don’t mind I’d be much obliged if you’d join me for a drink. We had one beer two shots a scotch and a water a shot and another beer. When he said hey fella if you’d like to have another let’s roll if you got the wheels. We hit one bar two bar three on the south side and headed up towards the north. But it was getting pretty late and I was starting to fade so I headed on out the door. I was getting in my car and I was ready to leave when that country boy called me out. He said your welcome to leave but mister give me the keys. Then he pulled that big knife out. He did his best aiming for my chest when I turned that knife around. I could hear him squeal as ten inches of steal went sawing right through his chest. I got in my car and went driving. That country boy lay dying and the moral to the story ain’t a day I been sorry that long haired boy is dead. Ballad of a long haired country boy.

In loving memory The sign read at the post office. In loving memory of Norm. Along with a photo copy of a bad Polaroid. That was taken many years ago when Norm was just a young man drinking beer at a party and having fun. I imagine the poster was made by Loretta because that’s how she wanted her man remembered. A sadness washed over my day. Another dear friend has gone away. In the city life seems cheap but the city is far away. Here it’s just a boring,..deadly waiting game…. On the counter at the circle K lies a plastic pickle jar holding a handful of change. And at the church down the road his family gathers to sing his praise. But that night in back of the lumber yard all us guys we got together and told every dirty story about Norm. Of coarse the best were told by Loretta. Cause that’s how she wanted her man remembered. But the sadness caught us all next day. As the morning mirror spied a new grey hair. In the city life seems cheap but the city is far away. Here it’s just a boring…deadly waiting game…. Until the sign reads at the post office “in loving memory of me”.

She’s still around She’s been around. In fact she’s the hottest game in town . I see you made it home in one piece. Well now let’s hope that’s how you leave. Since you been gone she’s been getting around some. With a couple of bikers and I hear they are surly fellas. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but they’ll be none too happy to see you. If what you say is true. Since I been gone she’s just been blue. She seems to do this nearly every time I go away for a little wile. She’s still around. In fact she’s the hottest game in town . I see I made it home in one piece. but I’m having my doubts that’s how I’ll leave. You tell those Bikers if they’re looking for trouble. Well, I’m there man and I’ll be there on the double. And if with my woman they continue to mess around I’m gonna come and burn their club house down. She’s been around. In fact she’s the hottest game in town. But now she’s home and now there’s peace. Until the next time that I leave.

Have you ever been struck by a cup of coffee. How it’s either too hot, too bitter or too cold. But there’s something about it that makes you feel cozy. When it’s made just right there ain’t nothing better. Have you ever been hit by a flying saucer? Well I have and it came from out of nowhere. I was just discussing things with my loving wife. Like the rent , the bills and my musical career. Then all of a sudden I was sleeping beneath the stars . Later on I woke up in our kitchen. Later that night I awoke to a shining light. But it wasn’t the light of Jesus, it was the police’s. And as I stared into that officer’s eyes I could tell this man had never been in love. Have you ever been struck by a cup of coffee? How it’s either too hot, too bitter or too cold. But there’s something about it that makes you feel cozy. When it’s made just right there ain’t nothing better. Have you ever been hit by a flying saucer? Well I have, because I’ve been in love.

Three O’clock in the morning Well he’s the nicest guy in town….and all the girls wanna chase him down….Then.. Three O’clock in the morning rolls around. His charming smile turns to a frown. Well you can hear it in his voice yes it’s there in his spleech. I’m sorry baby but it appears your date has left. Four O’clock in the morning rolls around. Then he starts insulting his girl in front of everyone. She’s looking at him liking to say ,I should have seen the coming. Five O’clock in the morning rolls around. We find our boy stumbling around. Well, He’s headed for the stairs and it’s a mighty long drop. I’m sorry baby but it appears your date is dead. Six O’clock in the morning rolls around. And all the girls surround his dying body. “he was such a nice guy” and everyone of them is lying. 7 O’clock in the morning rolls around. The entire party is moved downtown. Now they got them lined up and they’re asking them all the same. “Does anybody here know this mans last name” ? 8 O’clock in the morning rolls around. And the judge says to the chief, what do you think? It appears to me judge this man stayed up to late. 3 O’clock in the morning rolls around.

Shitty little world When I was a boy maybe six maybe four. Sitting in the park play pen. Digging through the rubble with my little plastic shovel wishing that I had a friend. Another little boy with another plastic toy when he found him a big cat shit. He dumped some down my pants and did a little dance and kicked the rest in my face. So I went to the other end of the park and consulted my father a fountain of great wisdom with no doubt. I asked him how come so many children are so Fucking mean to other children. I looked up at him , he looked down at me like usual and he said Boy…. Theres a whole lotta people in this world that just ain’t happy. And there’s a whole lotta people in this world that just ain’t cool. Now some of these folks are out to get you. So its best you get em boy before they get you. And its a shitty little world full of shitty little people and they’re all out to shit on you. So don’t you be a clown wear a shitty little frown and shit on them before they shit on you. At the tender age of four I thought this was the greatest advise I had ever received and I lived by it for many a year. Nearly a decade. When I was a boy fourteen maybe more courting little Suzy down the block. She invited me over said her folks ain’t home we could have the whole place to ourselves. I knocked on the door and there she was on the floor with that same little prick from the park. I walked out the door wondering what for little Suzy wants to break my heart. So I consulted my father a fountain of great wisdom with no doubt. I asked him how come no matter how hard you try to love someone they just won’t love you back. I figured he as the perfect man to ask. I looked up at him and he looked down on me like usual and he said boy….There’s a whole lotta people in the world that just won’t like you. No matter what you do son you will never please them. When it comes to these folks I want yo to tell em fucking boy you tell them….Fuck off! And its a shitty little world full of shitty little people and they’re all out to shit on you. So don’t you be a clown wear a shitty little frown and shit on them before they shit on you.
