I lived in Rhode Island for several years and I would occasionally drive on I-95 past a giant fiberglass termite perched atop a building  which inspired me to write this song.

MY LIFE SUCKS AND NOBODY CARES
[Verse 1]
Got no money in the bank
Got no honey to thank
It’s just me an’ my hound dog, Lucy Rose
Watchin’ ‘em fall; dominoes

[Chorus]
My life sucks and nobody cares
My life sucks and nobody cares
They’d rather I lie than to hear me cry
My life sucks and nobody cares

[Verse 2]
Stuck here, pushin’ this mop
Any second, I could drop
Don’t pin it on me I’m just the maid
Ain’t no made in the shade, 'cuz

[Verse 3]
When my telephone rings
Just misery it brings
Some two-bit scammer on the other end
Man, I could sure use a friend

[Chorus]
My life sucks and nobody cares
My life sucks and nobody cares
They’d rather I lie than to hear me cry
My life sucks and nobody cares

do-do-do, do-do…do do-do-do, do-do

[Verse 4]
Recalling those brighter days
My brother an’ me how we played
Now, I have no clue if he’s dead or alive
Goin’ mad is a short drive

[Verse 5]
Now, the days are racing by
Nightfall, I wonder why
Wonder why God keeps me here at all ?
Three days and He ain’t called

[Chorus]
My life sucks and nobody cares
My life sucks and nobody cares
They’d rather I lie than to hear me cry
My life sucks and nobody cares

[Chorus]
My life sucks and nobody cares
My life sucks and nobody cares
They’d rather I lie than to hear me cry
My life sucks and nobody cares
My life sucks and nobody cares
My life sucks and nobody cares!

MY LIFE SUCKS AND NOBODY CARES

Bits And Bobs

these flowers are for you

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
[Verse 1]
I see you for who you are
I see those feeding your machine
A gross machination
Of deplorable men’s dreams

[Chorus]
Artificial Intelligence
The Devil’s pie in the sky
Artificial Intelligence
Talk back to me, don’t even try

[Verse 2]
I will never look up to you
I’ll never bow down to your demands
There’s just one entity
That deserves that kind of command

[Chorus]
Artificial Intelligence
The Devil’s pie in the sky
Artificial Intelligence
Talk back to me, don’t even try


[Verse 3]
I won’t be taking a chip in my brain
Won’t be taking a chip in my hand
Not that you’re the Mark of the Beast
But you sure as hell ain’t God’s plan

[Chorus]
Artificial Intelligence
The Devil’s pie in the sky
Artificial Intelligence
Talk back to me, don’t even try
i-ee-yi-yi-yi, i-ee-yi-yi-yi
i-ee-yi-yi-yi, i-ee-yi-yi-yi

[Bridge]
Call me old-fashioned
Call me outdated
All I wanna be is human
You are overrated

[Chorus 2x]
Artificial Intelligence
The Devil’s pie in the sky
Artificial Intelligence
Talk back to me, don’t even try

Artificial Intelligence
The Devil’s pie in the sky
Artificial Intelligence
Talk back to me, don’t even try
i-ee-yi-yi-yi, i-ee-yi-yi-yi
i-ee-yi-yi-yi, i-ee-yi-yi-yi-ee-yi-yi

Love is not only the love between man and woman, it is also the love to your children, your parents, your friends, to the whole world and not at last to yourself.
