As with all my music you are free to use this music as you want, so long as you give credit where it's due (to me)

So I heard you bought a gun
Please don't use it on me
Everything will be fine you'll see

So I heard you bought a gun
So I heard you bought a gun

learn to shoot before you try
learn to live before you die
find out love is just a lie
just don't make her cry

So I heard you bought a gun
Yeah I heard you bought a gun

Every year is worse than the rest
But the next one will be the best
And an old lady told me this
Nothing good ever lasts

So I heard you bought a gun
Yeah I heard you bought a gun
Hope you use it for fun
Hope you use it on someone else (besides me)

Heard You Bought A Gun

As with all my music feel free to use this music as you wish, so long as you give me credit

in a cathedral
they shared a glance
looking out upon a grave
took a chance
they don't always 
see eye to eye
but they try

and in the wastes they preyed
upon the friends they made

big boys don't cry 
they kill themselves instead
and if they die
well they've made their beds

big boys don't cry
they kill each other
and then lie
down with their brothers

and in the wastes they prey
upon the friends they make

big boys don't cry 
they kill themselves instead
and if they die
well they've made their beds

Cathedral

Feel free to use this track as you want, just give me credit fool

take off little eagle
go find the sky
the wind wisps around you
at such great heights

10-9-8 you are full of hate
7-6-5 but still alive
4-3-2 i love all of you
1 and go start the show

though they tried
by the pen and the knife
you know this bird wouldn't take flight
they said goodbye

and she cried
i need to get this right
cause all i dreamt about last night
was getting high

return to the earth
please come back home
the world needs a rebirth
we're so alone

Rocket Sauce

Use the track but give me credit bitch

Listen to music just to make me sad
It's only good if I feel bad
I never wondered if this was a fad
But in the end I am glad

Because all this shit is a waste of time.
If you ask me we crossed the line
and killing yourself shouldn't be a crime
The night is mine, and I feel fine

Can this ever change? I don't think it will
Moving through life like I'm standing still
So I'm out here looking for a thrill
put it on the card, send me the bill

Because all this shit is a waste of time
Ask me, we crossed the line
and killing yourself shouldn't be a crime
The night is mine, and I feel fine

Worse Than Yesterday, Better Than Tomorrow

I wrote this song after binge watching the 1990 TV series Twin Peaks. It was a great show that ended too abruptly which was disappointing, but in being left unfinished sort of sparked creative material. Little did I know, David Lynch is filming another season of Twin Peaks to be released early 2017!

As with all my music, feel free to download, utilize, materialize, synthesize and formulize this music to the best of your ability. Just give me credit if you do anything with it!

lyrics:
in this town
i saw my fate
the sky was brown
like his face

in this town
they shared their fears
i stayed around
'til i shared theirs

in this town
of coincidence
we all spun round
in this dance

in this town
of consequence
i took them out
to have a chance

In This Town

This song is about happiness and love and being happy. Enjoy at your own risk! As always, feel free to use this song in any way you see fit, so long as you give me credit :)

i saw her a month ago today
now it seems like a blur
she didn't want
to talk with her father
but i knew someday
it'd come to haunt her

i met myself in a quiet room with nothing much but doom and gloom
to comfort me 
and as it was i couldn't sleep
but i saw what my reflection would be
and i wept as i feared the reality

of this
eventuality

well i lost someone that i shouldn't have had
and i can't help but feel kinda glad
that i can move on and stop worrying
about being happy and other silly things

and i
just don't care
no i
don't need her there
anymore

i've made up my mind
i've given up tryin' to find
ourthing that was lost long ago
i didn't play games i didn't know
don't need to stay till the end of the show

i love you
but i don't want to
i love you
but i don't want to

I Love You

Yet another uplifting, happy song from Race Chapman. This one is just about how wonderful it is to live in a society that cares about us and our well-being, and one which would stop at nothing to protect the Earth and the life upon it.

As always feel free to use this song as long as you give me credit :)

lyrics:
let's watch the sky turn black
from the smokestack
in a third world for a thrill

we'll make the ground give way
just to pay
our bills

and i like the oceans blue
so let's poison them too
until we've had our fill

we'll make it all go away
it'll all be ok
just swallow this pill

and they say
it's not fair
but they don't hesitate
to bring us there against our will

it's a perfect world
it's a perfect world

and i love the ak
like a sunny day
but drugs should not be allowed

and we'll have a blast
pumping nerve gas
into an annoying crowd

and when a soldier dies
it brings tears to my eyes
but damn they make me proud

and though i abhor
the horrors of war
bring on the mushroom cloud!

and they say
it's not fair
but they won't hesitate
to bring us there against our will

it's a perfect world
it's a perfect world

i just want you to know
it's a perfect world
yeah i just want you to know
it's a perfect world
it's a perfect world
