India 04:23
Yesterday I threw a penny in a wishing well I asked for truth and peace of mind Time slips passed like a Dali painting the surrealism defines our lives Our sins will not be forgiven there is no pennance for all the lies we have told to make ourselves feel better no forgiveness for all our crimes And I don't understand when things got so hard Complications used to be rare when we all played our part Last week the worker next to me got laid off Another economic casualty Took his job and they moved it to India, and now he lives out on the street Spends his time at the shelther downtown Another victim of corporate greed Saw him last night and he asked me for spare change to buy a bottle and ease his suffering And if I should lend a hand would it all fall apart? As united as we stand, divided we all fall

Wounded knees hit the pavement I cant walk through the pain Shattered face, choke on my blood I can't get enough But no, I won't follow through Two more wheels, I'd have a car but I can't travel anymore I'm paralyzed from the waist down An apparatus raises me up and down So no, I won't follow through.

Montauk 02:32
I remember the day we drove to Montauk Just a bunch of kids without a clue about life There we sat on the beach, we drank and we laughed about old times But we had no idea what that means, we were only 18 years old I'd just gotten out on my own but I looked around and said that I'm alright At the time it might have been untrue, I was lost not kowing what to do I'd just moved so far away, far from everything that I knew As we sat one more time together, close friends without a concept of forever I was sad to know things were changing We'd all move on but I knew I'd be alright And I'm alright. Twelve years have passed It's all gone by so fast but it feels like only yesterday We've grown up now and moved to different towns, We've started lives and families. And I'm alright.

Corporate 05:18
Used to be a corporate whore, but now I'm just poor.
