3. _ Life Boat
Every time I open my mouth
I take off my clothes
I'm raw and frostbitten from
Being exposed
I got red scabby hands
And purple scabby feet
And you can smell me coming from
Halfway down the street oh
And I remember that old hotel had quite the smell
Where I would go to use the phone
Between the donut shop and the pizza parlor
Where I learned to live alone
Sweet sixteen and smiling
My way out of any jam
Learning the ways of the world, oh my
Learning the ways of man oh
And I didn't really want a baby
And I guess that I had a choice
But I just let it grow inside me
This persistent little voice
And I guess I got her off and running
And then run off is what she did
And that's part of what I think about
Think about that kid oh
So now there's nothing left to wish upon
Except for passing cars
The cacophony of city lights
Is drowning out the stars
This park bench is a life boat
And the rest a big dark sea
And I'm just gonna lie here until
Something comes and finds me oh
Yeah I got this tired old face
Still grinning most of the time
Just 'cause it don't have a better way
To express what's on it's mind
And I got this running monologue
Entertaining in it's outrage
And I've got the air of an animal
That's been living in a cage oh
Every time I open my mouth
I take off my clothes
I'm raw and frostbitten from
Being exposed
I got red scabby hands
And purple scabby feet
And you can smell me coming from
Halfway down the street

6. _ Splinter
Something about this landscape just don’t feel right
Hyper air-conditioned and lit up all night
Like we just gotta see how comfortable comfortable can get
Like we can’t even bring ourselves to sweat
Sweat in the summer, shiver in the winter
Just enough to know that we’re alive
Watch out for that TV, it’s full of splinters
And remember you can always go outside
Really, really, really far outside
And some might call it conservation
And some might call it common sense
And maybe it’s because I am Libra
But I say balance balance balance balance
I say balance balance balance balance
Who put all this stuff in my apartment?
Who put all this ice in my drink?
Who put the poison in the atmosphere?
Who put the poison in the way I think?
O women, won’t you be our windows
Women who bleed and bleed and bleed
Women who swim with the tide, women who change when the wind blows
Show us we are connected to everything
Show us we are not separate from everything
So here’s to the trials of living
Here’s to feeling our share of pain
All the way from childbirth to dying
Here’s to being connected to everything
Here’s to staying connected to everything

7. _ Unworry
I know I've seen you around
You can't forget that hair
But I didn't hear you come in
How long have you been sitting there?
You know you can tell me anything
I promise I don't scare
Let's only ever be allies even if the whole background dissolves
And little pink hearts can pop over our heads but we'll keep our cool
You know I have enjoyed my life
It's been exciting
And I've become more peaceful
No more fighting
And I ain't gonna waste your time
Wronging and righting
Round and round centered by the grooves on an old oak tree
Nibbled by minnows and licked by a salty sea
And I gotta say I'm amazed not in a good way at how much I don't remember
I just gotta hope though I'm slow it's all part of what I know the facts are pretend anyway
Yeah the facts are pretend anyway
I know I've seen you around
Always in that uniform
Pirate hat just a little stained
Sword just a little worn
Know you know you can tell me anything
I'm not just tooting my own horn
Let's only ever be allies even if the whole background dissolves
And little pink hearts can pop over our heads but we'll keep our cool
Baby teach me to unworry
I will teach you to unhide
In the city where they don't need x-rays
To see each other's insides
Under a big old oak tree
Synchronicities gather in tide
Round and round centered by the grooves on an old oak tree
Nibbled by minnows and licked by a salty sea
And I gotta say I'm amazed not in a good way at how much I don't remember
I just gotta hope though I'm slow it's all part of what I know
The facts are pretend anyway
Yeah the facts are pretend anyway
Yeah the facts are pretend

8. _ Albacore
Look here I just tattooed
A wedding band
On what looks like to me
My mother's hand
I'm no blushing girl
No innocent dove
It took me a long time to find love
But now I have no doubt
And I never will
That I am meant to be loving you
And it fairly blew my mind
To be so sure
When that little needle said I do
My love gives me hope
My love gives me pride
My love gets me past
The land mines inside
When I am next to you
I am more me
Inside me is a room to which you hold the key
Look at that honeymoon
In the albacore sky
Look with all of you
Not just your eye
Look at its dancing light
Through the whispering trees
Look how I love you and you love me
Look how I love you and you love me

12. _ Which Side Are You On?
They stole a few elections,
Still we the people won
We voted out corruption and
Big corporations
We voted for an end to war
New direction
And We ain't gonna stop now
Until the job is done
Come on all good workers
This year is our time
Now there's folks in Washington
That care what's on our minds
Come one, come all voters
Lets all vote next time
Show 'em which side are you on now
Which side are you on
[Repeat: x4]
Which side are you on now
Which side are you on
Thirty years of diggin'
Got us in this hole
The curse of reaganomics
Has finally taken it's toll
Lord knows the free market
Is anything but free
It costs dearly to the planet
And the likes of you and me
I don't need those money lenders
Suckin' on my tit
A little socialism
Don't scare me one bit!
We could do a whole lot worse
Than Europe or Canada
Come on Mr. president
Come on congress make the law
Which side are you on now
Which side are you on
Which side are you on now
Which side are you on
They say in Orleans parish
There are no neutrals there
There's just too much misery
And there's too much despair
America who are we
Now our innocence is gone
Forgive us mother Africa
History's done you wrong
Too many stories written
Out in black and white
Yeah come on people of privilege
It's time to join the fight
Are we living in the shadow of slavery
Or are we moving on
Tell me which side are you on now
Which side are you on
Which side are you on now
Which side are you on
Which side are you on now
Which side are you on
Which side are you on boys
Which side are you on
Which side are you on now
Which side are you on
My mother was a feminist
She taught me to see
That the road to ruin is paved
With patriarchy
So, let the way of women
Guide democracy
From plunder and pollution
Let mother earth be free
Feminism ain't about women
No, that's not who it is for
It's about a shifting consciousness
That'll bring an end to war
So listen up you fathers
Listen up you sons
And tell me which side are you on now
Which side are you on
[Repeat: x4]
Which side are you on now
Which side are you on
So are we just consumers
Or are we citizens
Are we gonna make more garbage
Or are we gonna make amends
Are you part of the solution
Or are you part of the con?
Which side are you on now
Which side are you on?
