There's something in this sugar
Which isn't very sweet
I can't put my finger on it
But I'll find it yes indeed
There's something in this sugar
I've tasted it before
It once tried to break me
So I hate it all the more
Well there's something in this sugar
I don't seem to like
It tastes like fascist words
And other kinds of stupid tripe
There's something in this sugar
That I refuse to eat
I've got a switchblade tongue my friend
So go on take a seat
Gonna treat you like this country
Treated Ol' Detroit
So get ready... get ready
Here comes Detroit
There's something in this honey
That doesn't seem to drip
You keep drilling holes
To sink a sinking ship
There's something in this honey
Which doesn't seem to stick
What you say ain't funny
So go on take the mick
There's something in this honey
The pussywillows see
When the floor come's up to meet you
I'm the one you'll see
Cuz t here's something in this honey
It doesn't seem to flow
I've got a switchblade tongue my friend
And yes you've got to go

You Are The Disease

Everytime I see you
I feel sick in my soul
You take and you take
And we all pay the toll
Everytime I see you
I feel sick in my soul
You do whatever you please...
But I want you to know
You are the disease
You open your mouth
You're giving poison for free
You don't care about anyone
Especially me
Yeah you open your mouth
Giving poison for free
You do whatever you please
But I want you to know
You are the disease

When I was a little boy
I needed just a little toy
Just around the 4th of July
I need something to get high
Asked my mom and dad
Just what they had
They said...
Bottlerocket, bottlerocket, bottlerocket
You need a bottlerocket
Bottlerocket, bottlerocket
You need a bottlerocket
Bottlerocket
I gotta get up
Cuz I'm goin' down
Now, when I was in high school
I sat next to the prom queen
Told me 'bout Saturday night
Goin' with the captain of the football team
She said, "He's (She's?) what I need
He's a...
Bottlerocket, bottlerocket, bottlerocket
I need a bottlerocket
Bottlerocket, bottlerocket
I need a bottlerocket
Bottlerocket
Gotta get up
Cuz boy I'm goin' down
Now that I'm older
I need something to get high
I can't get it up
Just like I try
So I need a little somethin' to help me out
Bottlerocket, bottlerocket, bottlerocket
I need a bottlerocket
Bottlerocket, bottlerocket
I need a bottlerocket
Bottlerocket
I gotta get up
Cuz I'm goin' down

Gold

I ain't crying no more
All my blues have been sold
I ain't crying no more
All my blues have been sold
Gonna take all this money
And turn it into gold
See I found me a woman
Don't know if you've been told
See I found me a woman
Don't know if you've been told
I can't tell you much
But I can tell ya... she's got hair of gold
Some hearts are shy
And some are so bold
Some hearts are so, so shy
And some are so very bold
But what this man needs
Is a heart that's made out of gold
I ain't crying no more
All my blues have been sold
I ain't crying no more
All my blues have been sold
Cuz I've got me a love
That shines just like gold

Without You

Got my guitar in my hand
Cuz I'm feeling so blue
Got my guitar in my hand
Just trying to say something new
But I don't know what to do
No I don't know what to do
Without you...
I ride around in the dark
Just to hear the wheels
I ride around in the dark
Just trying to lose these feels
But I don't know what to do
No I don't know what to do
Without you...
The world outside's on fire
And I just don't understand
The world outside's on fire
So c'mon baby. C'mon please just hold my hand
Cuz I don't know what to do
No I don't know what to do
Without you...

Ain't Not But Nothing

It ain't not but nothing
You can believe what I say
It ain't not but nothing
You can believe what I say
See it ain't like tomorrow
To be like yesterday
It ain't not but nothing
Despite what you might believe
It ain't not but nothing
Despite what you might believe
Cuz my Mama always told me
It's better to give than to receive
It ain't not but nothing
That's all you need to know
It ain't not but nothing
That's all you need to know
Cause before my song is over
You're gonna pay out what you owe

Stumblin' Over My Feet
04:31

I'd rather sit down
But I'm rollin' and tumblin'
I'd rather hold on
But I'm droppin' and fumblin'
I'd rather get a grip
But I'm slidin' and slippin'
I'd rather stay up
But I'm fallin' and trippin'
Cuz Lawd Lawd Lawd... I just saw a woman
Wanna buy me some shoes
And start me a'walkin
But I'm lookin' at her
Mumblin' and talkin'
Stumblin' over my feet
She's young and fine
And I'm kinda moldy
She's looking at me
Seein' some golden oldie
I got nothing to give
And she's bound to see it
She's a 9 or a 10
And I'm gonna three it
Cuz Lawd Lawd Lawd... I just saw a woman
I've been the one
Givin' out the gimmie
I'd bet money
She can shake n' shimmy
But I gotta get gone
No time for delayin'
Don't wanna show
How I've been decayin'
Cuz Lawd Lawd Lawd... I just saw a woman

For 13 Men
05:51

It was the darkest of times
In the year of our Lord
When they made a plan
And had their weapons stored
They crossed state lines
To practice their aim
The governor would pay
When judgement came
And freedom would rise
To shine in the sun
For 13 men
They planned in the corners
Of darkened saloons
They stayed off the roads
Travelling by the light of the moon
The served the cause
And the cause was just
That's what they believed
And believe they must
Because if they failed
There was nowhere to run
For 13 men
The night of the raid
It was all prepared
They ate the last of their food
But none of them cared
They'd set the world alight
For all to see
Then make their escape
And get away scot-free
Then the governor would hang
By a noose in the sun
For 13 men
Then the lawmen came
Like a storm from the sky
There was nowhere to run
Oh, there was nowhere to hide
A scream in the night
Then the flash of a gun
It was over so fast
The governor had won
The all would hang
By a noose in the sun
For 13 men
