Girl in the Cafeteria
02:34

Hey girl in the cafeteria,
You don't know it but you're already mine.
Hey girl in the cafeteria,
We both come here each day to dine,
But I know it must be destiny
Pulling me into the arms
Of the girl in the cafeteria,
Yeah, the girl in the cafeteria.
We walk up to lunch
And we always see you,
You come here every day
And eat the same crappy food.
It might seem weird
That we're looking at you,
But it all makes sense
When I run into you
(Chorus)
I see you smiling at me
Across the room,
But for the moment
I don't know what to do.
I wanna walk over one day
And sit next to you,
But that's never gonna happen,
So this goes out to you.
(Chorus) x 3

This Song is Empowering
05:13

If there’s ever a point
Where you feel like you can’t
Oh Just remember
There’s always someone else who can’t
Be happy with who you are
Because you are the best
If you’re down you’ll never get far
That’s only half the test
Chorus
Soap may wash into your eyes
The water’s falling from the sky
The suds will run true
Always be true to you
If there's soap in your eyes
It may sting like the lies
That are always holding you back
But as water runs down let it dissolve your frown
Chorus
You can shampoo your cares away
Condition your fears away
Wash your regrets down the drain
Scrub your skin clear
Chorus
There’s a shampoo for every wound
A face mask for every mood
Though some people may be rude
Towels will keep them subdued.
So hair-dry those tears away
Tomorrow is another day
Your shower head will always spray
You have the power so don’t dismay.
Chorus x2

Disposable
02:45
|

Men are disposable
Real and compostable
Trash bagged and portable
But easily forgettable
Can’t be irrational
Never emotional
Any time night or day
I don’t want to feel this way
And don’t tell them that they are wrong
And don’t tell them that they don’t belong
But don’t let them sing their song
But don’t ask them to come along
He can be intellectual
But at times ineffectual
Always makes the same mistake
He’s never gonna get a break
Never too responsible
Always changeable
Completely incapable
Of understanding why
Men are disposable
Real and compostable
Trash bagged and portable
But easily forgettable
Can’t be irrational
Never emotional
Any time night or day
I don’t want to feel this way
And don’t tell them that they are wrong
And don’t tell them that they don’t belong
But you can’t live if they are gone
Just you see, it won’t be long.

The Way It's Gotta Be
02:00
|

Get up
Brush you teeth
Comb you hair
Pull your pants up tight
Read the news
Wonder why
We’re fallin’ behind
Start the car
Go to work
Get there on time
Sit and stare
At the wall
Like you’re not alive
You may not like it
But you have to deal with it
Though you don’t agree with it
‘Cause that’s the way it’s got to be
Sit up
Twirl your pen
Sort some files
And you do it right
You work
9 to 5
At your desk all night
Then you go
To the bar
To forget it all
Then you rinse
And repeat
Do it all again
Chorus
You’ve got
All this debt
That one day
You will have to repay
Go to school
Half your life
Just to find you can’t
Get a job
‘Til you get
Experience
Now you’re down
80 grand
That you’ll never get back
Chorus
Get up
Brush you teeth
Comb you hair
Pull your pants up tight
Read the news
Wonder why
We’re fallin’ behind
Start the car
Go to work
Get there on time
Sit and stare
At the wall
Like you aren’t alive

Eyebiter Man
03:35
|
|||
Let me tell you ‘bout a story
Not a year gone by
Since the eyebiter man
Done took my eye
Cause he’s The eyebiter man
The eyebiter man
The eyebiter man ran like the win’
And I ain’t seen him ever since
The eyebiter man
He’s gonna come for me again
I can feel it in my bones
I can feel it ‘neath my skin
Cause he’s the eyebiter man
The eyebiter man
The eyebiter man is a slimy son of a gun
Ain’t gonna let him take the other one
The eyebiter man
Gonna catch me again
Yeah the eyebiter man
He’s gonna get me if he can
Cause he’s the eyebiter man
He’s the eyebiter man
The eyebiter man gonna see me
He’s comin’ round the bend
Just the other day
I seen him with ole Oed
Eatin’ cornea on the cob
And spreadin’ jelly on their bread
Cause he’s the eyebiter man
He’s the eyebiter man
The eyebiter man is gonna get him too
But he ain’t gonna get me again
I seen him in town
He said he’s coming down
I’m gonna chase him off
Can’t ya see I’ve had enough
Cause he’s the eyebiter man
The eyebiter man
I walked right up to him and spit in his eye
He ain’t comin’ back till the swamp goes dry
The eyebiter man
Ain’t gonna catch me again
Yeah the eyebiter man
He can’t get to me my friend
Cause he’s the eyebiter man
The eyebiter man
The Eyebiter ain’t Gonna see me
He’s never comin’ back round the bend
