Life is action-packed, listen close & follow your hunch
When push comes to shove be ready to throw a punch
When you know you're wrong be strong enough to just concede
But when you know you're right have the courage to stand and lead

And earn your keep, eight hours of sleep, don't follow the crowd, make papa proud
And earn your keep, eight hours of sleep, don't follow the crowd, make mama proud

Life can be a bore but don't ignore the peace silence brings
differentiate between necessity and mere material things
When life gives you lemons you oughta' offer something in return
And when death comes a' knockin build your coffin or pick out your urn

And earn your keep, eight hours of sleep, don't follow the crowd, make papa proud
And earn your keep, eight hours of sleep, don't follow the crowd, make mama proud


Whispers from the womb & the tomb.wav (week 2)

You're a fool in your own prison when you have a closed mind
It's so easy to be the victim of your very own crime
All it takes is pessimism and bitterness to make men blind
To all the colors of the prism and all the beauty one can find

Chorus:
Oh, breath some fresh air for as long as it's given, for as long as it's there
Oh, watch the bitterness fade.  Feel the warmth of the sun and step out of the shade.

To your own pergatory, you can condemn yourself
When your morals and your standards collect dust on the shelf
Be a light to the world til' it all fades to black
Don't expect no rewards nor a pat on the back

Chorus

A fool's prison.wav (week 3)

Well you think that you're all set cuz' you decided to settle
But ever since we met, a fires a' burning beneath this kettle
It's about coming to a boil and someone is bound to get burned
He's had his half-assed chance so I say that it's my turn

Let me be Frank, give me a try cuz' you deserve a better guy
Oh Anna Leigh, please let me be you're lovin' man
Let me be Frank, give me a chance, let me cut in, may I have this dance?
Oh Anna Leigh, please let me be you're lovin' man

I know the Good Book says, "...thou shalt not covet..."
But I would tell the Good Lord that he can go and shove it
I'll put your man down, hide his bones without a trace
Then I'll be around, you won't be alone, cuz' he's been replaced

Let me be Frank, give me a try cuz' you deserve a better guy
Oh Anna Leigh, please let me be you're lovin' man
Let me be Frank, give me a chance, let me cut in, may I have this dance?
Oh Anna Leigh, please let me be you're lovin' man

Lyrics:  I don't want to go to work today :)

i dont want to go to work today (week 5).wav

I can do anything  I want
sleep in until noon wake up watch cartoons
I can wake anytime I want
eat candy for lunch, grape drank or fruit punch
I consume anything I want
go play at the park, come in after dark
I can roam anywhere I want
whenever I want, wherever I want

cuz my life awesome! (x3) I can do anything I want

stay in my p.j.'s for days in a daze
I can be any way I want
hang out with my friends though some are pretend
I play with anyone I want
silent but deadly, won't lie, that was me
I can smell anyway I want
Whenever I want, whenever I want

cuz my life is awesome! (x3) 
I can do anything I want
whenever I want, wherever I want


My life is awesome (week 7)

L-I-V-I-N (week 8).wav

eu tô me afogando nesse oceano x2
dos seus olhos azuis x2
havia salva-vidas, mas não a pus 
eu não pus.  Não, eu não pus.

fiquei enredado no seu cabelo enrolado x2
que nem o bicho coitado já morto após o noivado.
na teia da viúva negra, virou almoço dela segundo a regra.

o amor, coisa feia e estranha. o amor é a teia de aranha. x2
DA VIÚVA NEGRA.

Sweeping & mopping & scrubbing
		                Cuz life’s a mess

Feather-dust a cluster of dust bunnies, ah-choo!
		                                        Godbless.

And all the cobwebs in the ceiling
		               I just leave them be

They are my shield from pest and vermin
		                            And they protect me

				They crochet fine patters in corners of my 	
				Otherwise humdrum lifeless boring walls

Sweeping & mopping & scrubbing
		                 Cuz life’s a mess.

lyrics:
Don't tell your man I gave you a rose (2x)
Because he'll punch me good, square in the nose
I'm better off if no one knows
Don't tell your man I gave you that rose

Don't tell your man I gave you a kiss (2x)
He'll rip my lips right off my face, and yank my tongue out from it's place
So don't tell your man I gave you a kiss

Chorus:
Don't tell your man! (Don’t tell your man) That big bad man! (That big bad man)
or I’ll be tasting all ten knuckles
from his big sledgehammer hands
I’m better off if no one knows
So zip your lip, just keep it closed and
Don’t you tell your man, I gave you a rose 

Don't tell your man I gave you a ring (2x)
You'll rip his heart right from his chest
All the beatings in the world would hurt me less 
Don't tell your man I gave you  a ring

Outro chorus:
Chorus:
Don't tell that man! That big bad man!
or I’ll be tasting all ten knuckles
from those two sledgehammer hands

I'm better off if no one knows, so zip your lip just keep it closed and don't tell your man i gave you a rose.
