Somebody Who Cares
I need somebody who cares
I need somebody who cares
I only want someone to pay attention to me
and maybe introduce me to life's mystery
I'm standing her looking for somebody who cares
who cares who cares
I lost my puppy who cares
I need some money who cares
I need someone I can tell about the trouble I'm in
who won't laugh or pretend to play the violin
I know you're gonna do that violin thing again
who cares who cares who cares who cares who cares
they say that love is a wonderful thing
they say it will find a way
they say I'm ok you're ok
they think they know everything everything everything
one thing they know they really know how to ruin my day
if she is somewhere who cares
tell her I'll be there who cares
I wonder if there's any hope left in this world
or if anybody cares for anything anymore
that's what I'm so frustrated for
who cares who cares who cares

Love Manifesto
I look into your eyes,
doesn't help at all.
I buy you something nice,
doesn't help at all.
I have spent too many nights
waiting for your call.
I'll run out of space
and time before we fall.
I could wait forever
but this time that's
not what I'm going to do.
No call returned
no lesson learned
and it's up to you.
But this will be my love manifesto.
There will be no remorse
and I won't rule out
the prudent use of force
to bring about
the transformation of this life
because there have to be means
for ends to justify for you and me.
You're so isolated
and I know that it's so absolute
but we're alive if we don't die
and I can get to you
and this will be my love manifesto.
And through this revolution
we can be together once again.
We'll make a date
to smash the state,
just you and me.
The End

The Dustbin of History
These are from the liner notes of "Our Bodies Our Selves" in place of the
actual lyrics. Maybe one day I'll get around to transcribing the song.
The invaders have used poisons drugs microwaves particle beams and gases
setting up a perpetual torture. The government by keeping silent has allowed
torture murder and other atrocities to be committed by these satanic fiends
while the victims have no recourse to law and in fact have their sanity
impugned if they dare mention it. They are taking over the world by replacing
humans with disguised extraterrestrials. It is being kept secret as human
beings are done away with one by one. This is how they can sometimes be
detected: one large pupil and iris, one normal human type eye, triangular
irises, offset eyes, longer eyes, small mouths inside larger artificial
mouths. If they shoot you with ray guns you may not notice because the heat
builds up slowly numbing the nerves and sometimes stunning the brain. Use wet
towels on the head to shield against radiation, ice packs to reduce pain and
cool the overheated interior. Is there intelligent life in outer space?
That's what certain pseudo scientists ask. Then they go through the most
elaborate calculations to say no there couldn't possibly be. Some of these
are extraterrestrials themselves. There's got to be intelligent life in outer
space, after they were smart enough to get rid of their worst ones by sending
them here. The CIA knows. The FBI knows. Only human beings don't know.

Personality Seminar
It's got to be got
together things must be nailed to the ground
things must be tied to each other
things which must be figured out
why I'm alive and what I'm doing with my life
and what I should have tried to do
and how I'm going to make it through through through
I think I might be sure now
if I can only learn how
everything will turn out A OK
and everything's going to be great
now that we've made all progress
now we can finally relax
we know the means and the object
and now there's no turning back
why can't I lose that feeling
of impending doom
when I see what I must choose
and think of what I have to do do do
I think I've got a feeling
I feel I've got a reason
I was only thinking it's okay
and I don't want to think anymore
I don't want to think anymore
I don't want to think anymore

Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret
Are you there God? It's me Margaret.
I'm so scared God. Why can't I stop it?
Girl or woman am I now
a Christian or a Jew
what's a girl supposed to do?
Maybe I try too hard,
maybe I go too far,
maybe there's something more.
Are you there God? It's me Margaret.
I'm a teenaged afterthought, I'm a symbolette.
Sometimes I just wish that I was Harriet the Spy
or a pretty butterfly.
Maybe I try too hard
maybe I go too far
maybe there's something wrong.
I'll lock myself in the bathroom
or hang myself in the classroom
then I won't have to go
and that's the second time I swear
almost a woman now
oh yeah it's a special time
something we all share.
Are you there God? It's me Margaret.
You're the one I want
let's not forget
fondness makes the heart grow absent
don't you think that's true?
What's a girl supposed to do?
Maybe I try too hard,
maybe I go too far,
maybe there's something more

Martyr
If you try to be a martyr
it will only slow you down
and I'll cry a little harder
as I wrap you in your shroud
but it's never going to happen
and it's never going to count
and there's nothing we can do
about it now.
Once we had so many options,
now they're narrowed down to one
and it's sad to see you watching
while the damage has begun.
If it's not what you expected
I expected more from you
and I'm sorry
but there's nothing we can do
about it now.
And I'm all overcome with apathy,
doesn't have anything to do with me.
If you think I should feel responsible
I don't know anything is possible.
Picture of you in my head and I'm waiting
here in my bed it's an iron maiden
I heard what you said but I can't remember
something about my neck.
And at last you'll be a martyr
as you're crying on the stairs
soon you'll be flashing your stigmata
and repackaging your prayers.
And we'll hang you in the parlor
and we'll cut you into squares
and we'll think of you when anybody swears
but there's nothing we can do about it now

Even Hitler Had a Girlfriend
I still haven't found a girlfriend
though I've tried a lot
so can you help me please
it's tougher than I thought.
The odds are pretty good
but the goods are pretty odd
still at this point
I'd take anything you've got.
You see this all the time
nice girls in love with jerks
what could they be thinking
tell me how it works.
If I've got some problems
well I wouldn't be the first
but the ones I have in mind
are even worse
and even Hitler had a girlfriend
who he could always call
who'd always be there for him
in spite of all his faults.
He was the worst guy ever
reviled and despised
even Hitler had a girlfriend
so why can't I?
life is full of contradictions
hard to understand
and for every happy woman
there's a lonely man.
Nixon had his puppy
Charles Manson had his clan
but God forbid that
I get a girlfriend.
Even Hitler had a girlfriend
who he could call his own
to sweeten days of bitterness
and feeling all alone.
I'm not as bad as Hitler
but it doesn't mean a thing
since they'd rather be
with Hitler more than me
I don't see
why they'd rather be
with Hitler more than me

More Than Toast
Is it efficient or does it kill
with the skill of a cluster bomb?
it'll take time but you know it will
if I happen to live that long
if you would listen to me
things wouldn't seem so gloomy
now you keep jamming up the gears
and I can't see through the smears
and everything's exactly as it appears
more I love you more I love you more
than I did before
but now it's either or
or neither nor
and when I think about you
I start turning green
and it shakes me up inside
cause it used to be the color of your eyes
everywhere I go I see your ghost
the spirit of '91
you said you loved me more than toast
but less than a staplegun
is this the wrong direction?
that's such a stupid question
now when you make a sacrifice
you're supposed to get a wish
why does this only work in theory
not practice?
more I love you more I love you more
than I did before
but now it's not allowed
you're not around
I see you going out
and everything goes black
and I start to fall apart
it reminds me of the color of your heart
I miss you more than mud
lost you more than blood
knead you more than dough
I love you more than toast
more I love you more I love you more
than I did before
but now we're in a war
and what's it for?
I read your horoscope
and everything is clear
and it feels a little weird
cause it used to be the color of your tears

Swallow Everything
There were things I could have told you
but you've heard it all before
and you look so calm and peaceful
when you're passed out on the floor
swallow everything
swallow everything
you're the pellet with the poison
you're the hand that holds the pearl
you're an alcohol girl in an alcohol world
swallow everything
swallow everything
that's how a little bit of me
becomes a part of you
and I know I shouldn't be complaining
cause I enjoy it too
the eyes of a zombie
and the will of a table for two
swallow everything
reject nothing
you plant a new emergency
for every one you kill
it's a fluid
it's a solid
it's a powder
it's a pill
swallow everything
swallow everything
seeing double
feeling single
weigh the benefits and costs
double single single double double single double crossed
swallow everything
swallow everything
and someone will always be there for you
to tell you what to say
and you know you'll never walk alone
cause you can't control your legs
you know you'll believe it
and it's only a weekend away
swallow everything reject nothing

Not Guilty
How many times have I looked at her lies and covered my eyes
though I understand her inimical and diabolical plan?
She's my accuser I don't want to lose her just want to confuse her
or try to appease her you know it ain't easy just look in your freezer.
Not guilty but she's made up her mind
I'm not guilty but I'll swing for the crime
I'm not guilty she's an eye in the sky
I'm not guilty.
Forgotten by time accused of a crime I did not commit
it happened to be what happened to me just happened to fit
she's having a wigger bigger and bigger a hand on a trigger
she's trying to jump up she feels like a pump but she looks like a sneaker.
Not guilty but she's made up her mind
not guilty but I'm still gonna fry
not guilty and I don't have much time
not guilty.
I testify to my alibi
but I'm sick of it all and nothing's going to be solved
I watch it all go by.
Pinch me I'm dreaming or waking up screaming the essence of being
guilt by attrition and sins of omission and acts of contriction
she's such a comer dumber and dumber the smash of the summer
and I got her number she peeks like a sneak but she squeaks like a pumper.
Not guilty but she's made up her mind
I'm not guilty but I'll swing for the crime
I'm not guilty just a lie for a lie
I'm not guilty

Game Over
I don't understand what you're asking me
we put so much into this machine
we never get on the board
so what do you want it for?
You think I should be with you
when you make it to level two
and you've got nothing but time now and then
game over game over again.
Now looking back on those happy times
we should be put away for our crimes.
We got away with it then
but who's to say if we will again?
We come together for more than games
we pull apart looking for some change
but still we know just how it's going to end
game over game over again.
And in this land of a thousand kills,
you lose control of your motor skills
you lose control of your life,
and blow apart in a flash of light.
But after everything here we are
and who'd have thought we would get this far
so when they say insert coins insert coins in
game over game over again

Will You Still Love Me When I Don't Love You?
Will you still love me
when I don't love you?
I sure hope you do.
It would be an ego boost.
When I leave you,
will you still be true,
phone me up every night,
ask me if I'm eating right?
Cause I can't stay with you,
I've got other things to do,
but while I'm away
it sure would be great
if you would wait for me
cherish my memory
keep my picture by your bed
remember all the things I said.
And you know if you would
it would make me look good
and everyone would say
he's quite a guy.
I hate working
it's so stupid.
I'd much rather
not have to do it.
If you really
love me honey
get another job
and send me the money.
If people knew that
I could make you do that
then everyone would say
he's quite a guy

Together Tonight
There was a time when I had you back
I let it go by
fear prejudice pride melancholy or tact
I don't really know why
when there was nothing but time
I let it go by
what am I coughing up
I don't even know why
we should be talking
not just tying up the phone line
let's be together tonight
I don't know why I'm a time bomb
waiting to go off
but even if I should lose my mind
that's really no loss
even if I lose my mind
it would be no loss
even though I know
it wouldn't mean a whole lot
I'm getting tired of being
rock 'em sock 'em robots
let's be together tonight
oh oh oh oh oh oh
if ever I have you back again
I'm gonna hold on tight
the question is now
the answer is when
the meaning is all night
if ever I have you again
well I'll hold on tight
nothing can hold me back
when I hold you all night
come over and I'll pretend
that everything is all right
let's be together tonight

God Bless America
Why don't you shave your legs
cause a little hair can make a lot of difference
much more than whatever you're trying to prove
I know you've got your pride
and I know you think it makes a statement
and you've got a right to be just as ugly as you want to be
beauty is only skin deep
and everybody's beautiful underneath
I believe in that
but let's not push it
if you won't do it for me
do it for our love
for planet earth and the little children
do it for peace and humanity
and do it for the United States of America
and baby if you'll only shave your legs
the world will be a better place
for you for me and for America.
God Bless America
