Above the Arctic Circle

Have fun in the Arctic Circle
Have a good time in the wilderness
Got plenty of time to come up for a visit
But I’m waiting on my check from the government
It's been a long time since I've had the time
Have fun running through the jungle
Have a good time in the tropic heat
You can swing on a vine, then you’re gonna be fine
Don’t get to close when the tigers eat
It's been a long time since I've had the time
CHORUS
It's been a long time since I've had the time for this x4
Have fun crawling through the desert
Have a good time in the desert sun
Holy coyotes pushing peyotes
You gotta understand how the desert's run
It's been a long time since I've had the time
Have fun swimming in the ocean
Have a good time sucking up the surf
Swimming in the dark with the killers and the sharks
I wish you the best for what that's worth
It's been a long time since I've had the time
CHORUS
It's been a long time since I've had the time for this x4

You’re gonna love me
Yeah, you’re gonna love me right now
You’re gonna need me
Yeah, you’re gonna need me right now
You’re gonna want me
Yeah, you’re gonna want me right now
You’re gonna miss me
Yeah, you’re gonna miss me right now
Everybody’s got something to prove but you
And I’ve got nuthin’ to lose but you

The Dust We Raise
04:36
|
|||
Oh, the dust we raise
Oh, the mess we made
But we keep on moving anyway
Oh, the times we had
They weren’t all bad
But we keep on moving anyway
Don’t say a word
We got nothing to talk about
Don’t say a word
Don’t say a word
Oh, the history
Life’s sweet mystery
But we keep on moving anyway
Oh, the wars we wage
But the roads get paved
And we keep on moving anyway
Don’t say a word
We got nothing to talk about, you know we don’t
Don’t say a word
Don’t say a word

World Won't End
04:47
|
|||
We are ready
Ready to play
Attitude counts for nothing
So long as we get paid
The world's not going to end
Just because you got no money to spend
And I think things are on the mend between you and me
But if that’s the way it’s going to be
That’s the way it’s going to be
We are ready
Ready to play
Attitude counts for something
So long as we get paid
The world's not going to end
Just because we got no money to spend
And I think things are on the mend between you and me
But if that’s the way it’s going to be
That’s the way it’s going to be

All Right in the Morning
06:51
|
|||
You’ll be alright in the morning
You know you always are
Shine your light in the corner there
You never know what you’ll find
Stay out of the way of the richochet
Don’t let it hit your heart
Burn a hole in the atmosphere
Don’t forget who you are
You’ll be all right in the morning
You know you always are
Don’t turn out your light 'cause they asked you to
They can all see in the dark
Slicing the air like a razor blade
Tearing up and cutting out
And if you're throwing your stones in glasses cages then
They're gonna hit your mark
CHORUS
I know you’ve seen easier days
Shine a light and come on
I know there are better ways
Shine a light and come on
But those were better times
Shine a light and come on
Some of those were mine
Shine a light and come on
It’ll be like that again
Shine a light and come on
I know that’s true but I don’t know when
Shine a light and come on
Just look ahead don’t look behind
Shine a light and come on
Look ahead don’t look behind
Shine a light and come on
You'll be all right in the morning
You know you always are
Shine your light in the corner there
You never know what you'll find
Fire needs to feed on your oxygen
Dont let it burn you out
Smoke blows the way that they want it to
That's what it's about
You'll be all right in the morning
You know you always are
Dig in deep to the barricades
Keep your ammo dry
Stay out of the way of the richochet
Don’t let it hit your heart
Burn a hole in the atmosphere
Don’t forget who you are
REPEAT CHORUS

Don't Trust Anyone
04:28
|
|||
Don’t put your trust in no machines
They’ve been wrong for a little too long now
Don’t put your trust in the government
They’ve been wrong for too long
Don’t trust no one else
Don’t even trust yourself
Don’t put your trust in the phone company
They'll bill you wrong, they've been doing it all along
Don’t put your trust in the Internet
Or the past or what hasn't happened yet
Don’t trust no one else
Don’t even trust yourself
CHORUS
If you need something to believe
Then drop your guard down and receive
The promise of nothing's all you need
Expect nothing more and you will find peace
Don’t put your trust in no religion
They’ve been wrong for a little too long now
Don’t put your trust in your television
They’ve been wrong for a little too long now
Don’t trust no one else
Don’t even trust yourself
Don't put your trust in America
You salute the flag, but that won't take care of yah
Don't put your trust in your schools
All those teachers with their rules (Fools!)
You can make the grade, but they won't stop scaring yah
Don’t trust no one else
Don’t even trust yourself
REPEAT CHORUS
Don’t put your trust in double negatives
Don’t do that, no, don’t do not do that
REPEAT CHORUS

That Just Happened
03:32
|
|||
In your heart you wanna be a soldier
You want to go fight a war for
Glory and honor and money and fame
Now ain’t that a shame
And if that’s true then I have a question
or maybe it’s a suggestion
but to me their the same
Let's give it a name
In your heart you wanna be a hero
Isn’t that what we’re here for
To be honored and worshipped and born again
But it’s only a game
If that’s true then we got some problems
And we better solve them
Find out who'se to blame
Let’s give it a name
CHORUS
That just happened
Let’s give it a name
That just happened
Let’s give that a name
That just happened
It just happened
In your heart you wanna be our new leader
Wherever that’s gonna lead yah
To glory and power and money and fame
Now ain’t that a shame
And if that’s true then I have a question
or maybe it’s a suggestion
but to me their the same
Let's give it a name
CHORUS
In your heart, you want to be our savior
You better watch your behavior
To be worshipped and gloried and honored and famed
Here we go again
And if that's true then I got a feeling
But it's not fair dealing with those worries again
Let's give it a name
CHORUS

Bed of Nails
06:33
|

Where’d you get that bed of nails?
The one you lie on, the one you rely on
Where did you get that bed of coals?
The one you walk on, the one you get off on
Where did you get that crown of thorns
The one you wear so well, oh honey, I can tell
Where did you get that cross you bear
The one you’re nailed to, the one that’s gonna fail you
When did you board that ship of fools
The one that sails you, the one that fails you
Where did you get those chains you wear
The ones that rake you, the ones that are gonna break you
Take all the sour grapes that you can find
Turn them into sour wine
And when they bind you up to pay your debt
Forty lashes plus one is what you’ll get
