I was born I was never born I was never born To lead I was shot On the National Mall In 1963 I bled out on the street They put it all up on T.V. [Chorus] I need someone Who really knows my name To tell me I'm insane For saying all these things That put me in my grave And it's so lonely Martyring myself Abraham Lincoln Edward Joe Snowden I hope I go to hell I was born I was never born I was never born To lead [Chorus]

Cheaper go the children and When they first walked in I guess it's true I guess it's true Cut me with a credit card Snort me like a soldier in a tomb I guess it's true Maybe I'm more to blame than most Maybe my work is unincorporated Speakers bump a burnt out man Dishes sound like windmills I've blown through I guess it's true Capture me on photograph I'll be looking at the lens and through Maybe I'm more to blame than most Maybe my work is unincorporated Man I got no discipline, yeah Maybe I'm more to blame than most Maybe my work is unincorporated

Colorado 03:55
All along this western field Bison blew to cross Colorado I've never been but I've heard before My spirit flew out west Colorado I will not die in a dime store I will not be where I'm not needed Busted cars are the homes I've roamed All my scenes out west Colorado City streets hold the water I've seen All my scenes out west Colorado I will not die in a dime store I will not be where I'm not needed anymore All along this western field Bison blew to cross Colorado

Crime Wave 03:33
I've had lovers here before you Do I fear I'm not enough? I could talk to you for hours But I'll never win your love I've been lonesome for so long now Right on with the wave of crime And I'd rather be imprisoned Than to die without a bride Heaven knows where I may find you Maybe I'm already found I wish someone would implore me To take the sad out of my sound I'm a goner, girl, won't you call my mother? Tell her that I found my love in time And I spent my life just learning I'm right on with the wave of crime

Eli Lilly 02:30
Well I fall down to my knees and I pray to the lord of all things I ask him for a wristwatch and some change to fill my jeans I 'aint goin' hungry But won't you take pity over me, Lord? Well I'm piss drunk on an airplane 30,000 feet above sea Turbulence starts shaking me from my economy seat Lord I'm just a poor boy, can't you tell from the size of my wings? Jesus was a healer before we cured leprosy When I take a cab downtown it's all Eli Lilly Funded and entrusted city government buildings I 'aint scared of dyin' But when I go Don't let the pharmacy take me

I know how not to be lonely Have another smoke, and then go to bed Count time by the cracks in the ceiling I should have followed you when you left I know how not to be stoic Tell myself that someday I'd lose my guilt Crack off all this tar that I'm stowing Steal away to some copper rusted hills Trip D and vibe on the moment Lose myself in a puddle on the deck Whoa Reid won't you tell me what this is? Chew the moss that's growing on my back Lost my leg in North Carolina Falling down the Appalachian Trail Back home in Indiana Shoot some whiskey and eat some Hydro pills I know how not to be lonely, yeah I know how not to be lonely Shoot some whiskey and eat some Hydro pills I know how not to be lonely Eat some Hydro pills I know how not to be lonely, yeah Eat some Hydros

Aliaday 03:31
Wasted days and I see you 'fraid of the cross-stitch on your lip Catch a bus for the west side of Texas, 'gonna watch me an execution When he rides you know the smoke it fills his eyes I'm gonna wish that I, wish I was dead While away in my heart aliaday They'll say "boy, where have you been?" [Chorus] Whoa me it seems I haven't seen you for so long If I throw myself out the window, will you still be gone? I drop a nanodrone right into my blood flow Just to write myself a map And I cut my gums I get a transmission "You don't know what you have left" While away in my veins aliaday They'll say "boy, where have you been?" In a cemetery building me a sanctuary with the skin I peeled from my friends [Chorus]

Colorblind 02:44
Tried my best Best to stay contented Often falls short sometimes I tried to win the fight with Lennox Lewis If I beat Lennox Lewis, is it a hate crime? [Chorus] He's got titles undisputed He's a whole fourteen wins ahead of me He's got gold and silver medals But I can't see the colors that went into their creation They're linin' up Outside Ceasar's Palace Posting bets from the telephones I show up, acting like I matter Acting like I matter, but I'm KO'ed [Chorus]
10.
I am bleeding from my feet Leaving trails in the sand So you can follow and find me here Leaning off the end of a pier Watching shadows of bull sharks feed And I hush them at their reeling I wanna hear the fishes screaming I wanna know if my blood is a fluid as that Which flows through the Gulf of Mexico I am standing on some peak Appalachian breathing fog Am I no better than the masses below? Kneeling to their Gods, singing hymns as old as them Oh so frightened that it's never enough And I hush them at their singing I wanna hear the people screaming I wanna know if my blood is as fluid as that which flows through the air in Carolina Won't you let me off, yes I think I got a girl I need to see I need to see No one ever told me that there 'aint no doin' harm in being free In being free

Anderson 04:08
So you talk about leaving home But you're too scared to go MegaBus has got tickets for dollars But you're too poor to board [Chorus] I'll go instead of you I'll go instead of you Yes I do Everything that's east of here has at least 20 stories I will climb up every flight oh to find out mine, to find out mine Everything that's east of here has at least 20 stories I will climb up every flight oh to find out mine, to find out mine [Chorus]
