Brucerfer 03:37
It’s a four string dream from my childhood Never cool enough for the neighborhood Wait a little long, no one understood I was stuck in the hood Plinking on the keys of my big old cake Cutting my teeth for goodness sake Wade in the water of the fire lake Do another take No, Bruce aint Hell Just show and tell These golden dreams Bike riding scenes Surf rock and screams He’s my bass machine ...so many dreams Number nine came to take its’ place A hardware fix for the broken case Back the next day, to steal home base Bass in the place It’s a four string barrel of a shotgun With too much advice for everyone Killing all my ghosts that make me run Leave love for everyone Amp stereo, drums, and bass speakers Shame all the way for you Hi Fi tweakers Standing on a Crate with my drum set Looking for some friends who'll make a bet With over cooked tunes in the garbage can Trying to save the world when nobody can

Division God’s mission of our saving race A salvation station chock full of grace Divine wine pouring from the stone’s face Drive a wedge with the sledge so to take the place The Body Blood Machine leaving little space Daring hearts seem mean But do we know the love they really mean? The Body and Blood Machine Puts faith up in the place of you and me. Race killing face on the river bank The scribes prophesy a think tank Fear stabled table stealing for the bank With blood drawn borders of the mandate Faith’s shaming power our forward flank. Staring at the Body Blood machine Thinking that you know what it means But the body and blood machine Doesn’t want us to know what it means Bass beat to death by the country fear. Sacred cows marching to be rendered dear. Ravings like ratings like we always do With the voters clicking levers dumping stock in you The Market's Holy Order will come save you too. The Body and Blood Machine Doesn’t want us to know what it means Because the Body and Blood Machine Puts fear up in the place of all our dreams.

Real To Reel 03:34
Brown shag, like in your van It can’t be, we make it here Lay it down, be a man, on the ground, a drum sound Neil Young, Neve Board, Fleetwood Mac...set the course Analogue. Practice. Reel to reel. The real deal. After the Gold Rush fades away What’s left to say Who’ll play Who’s left to make a drum sound Real spins around, on the ground Sound City Records Reel to Reel The human feel The real deal Real to Reel Evel Kenievel, Low Rider, Lofgren, Benatar, Santana, Dio, BTO, Gottfried, Skeeter, Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Greatful Dead, Iovine, Punk Fear, Butch Vig Nevermind, Rumors, NSA, computers, Petty thieves, Mr.Grieves, Fading Neve, No make believe Tape hiss, people, Rock and Roll Steeple Make a sound, lay it down, spread your word the world round

Dead Guy Ale 02:54
There’s a Dead Guy Ale at the top of the hill Your empty bottle on my window sill You went freeway ridin’ on your telephone Then you’s All Hallows Eve’n there and throwin' me bones There’s a Dead Guy Ale at the top of the hill I got a disappearing friend, He aint commin' back He head to head off his own heart attack. There’s a Dead Guy Ale at the top of the hill Your empty bottle on my window sill I got hog tied icicles in my basement shed Your ten carrot dagger hangin' over my head Your Sundrop arrow blowin' through my heart And a table saw stain before we could start

Allegory stains all over the page Psychotic moves all over the stage Transistor heart beating in the ground Solar shock fencer making ultra sound. Razor comes slick for the surgery Pill popping babes of the century Latch key meals in the suburbs Allegory stains melting icebergs Corporate war whores dumping their drawers on the radio TV freak preachers with their double speak feed the ego Cyber zombie kids flipping their lids starring in the show Buy another round Dump it on the ground Raise the prose! May the thumbs oppose! Fable making baby from the underground Screaming for the kick of the bass sound Fader on the level hears the muse’ trance Beat it on home in a ghost dance Roller comes tricked for the surgery Pill popping babes of the century Latch key meals in the suburbs Allegory stains melting icebergs

Mob Ray 02:32
Organ donor with a loaded truck Around town hound for his lady luck Surf rock drummer with a heavy load Rockabilly screams on a dead end road Scrap iron bands in suburban wood Kicking out songs like Zahn said we should Wake Up Drunk playing in the hall Abalone Yearning and a Barn Yard Brawl

Sincerity 05:12
Love sick on a rainbow Dumb stuck in your window Fire in islands Life through my hands Let go of a jealous game Forcing fear to get some shame Take in and let it go Level myself and know Tuned in the key we wrote Breath deep and clear my throat It might be a travesty Or a moment of clarity Sing of the joker too Spray paint and Elmer’s glue Victims of circumstance High cheeks and morbid stance Take in or be afraid Remember the things you said Careful the life you glean Speak what you really mean It could be a tragedy But let’s have sincerity Moon shots in the morning Sailors take warning Acid rain inside my chest Snow cleanse and winters rest Ice water inside your veins Sharp tongue still remains Kill you with kindness Warm words to remind us A tree in the forest Broke branches and little rest A devil of detail Strong wind inside your sail I’m sending my roots down So, spread word across the town Give me your best shot That’s all we’ve really got Save me your charity And your talk of simplicity I want sincerity It might be a travesty Or a moment of clarity But, let’s have sincerity

I’m sittin' by the Fire and I don’t know what to do The pressure’s on and it’s calling for me and you The cave is getting cold and the food’s getting down there too We’re sittin' by the fire and we don’t know what to do Pick up that stick and start some abstract fight We pick all our teams for this pre-historic plight Why we use our thumbs to force your will? Survival you say. We learn how it is to kill We worship some crown and conquer the world We'll say it’s for Christ, then put it in the bank The flames get higher and the brain abstracts Until nobody know what to do He got more fire power than you So, you tell me, that I owe you So I’m sitting by the fire and I don’t know what to do Thinking of a way to make mine bigger too Found it in the ground that old black and bloody crude Compressed all my thoughts and drove out to get some food Now I’m sitting by the fire and I don’t know what to do Cause I started this fight, now it’s burning my house down too The river is on fire and the sky isn’t even blue The lake won’t freeze and I don’t know what to do….do you? Let’s start another war. We’ll save this holy place All the money from the battle creates the elitist race. WE can burn it six times over. Send machines to outer space We only got this one rock…this warm and dusty place We vote for some clowns who conquer the world They say it’s for Christ, then put it in the bank The flame gets higher and the brain abstracts Til nobody knows what to do He’s still got more fire power than you So, you tell me that I owe you...again So, I'm sittin' by the Fire and I don't know what to do Loud mouths can't listen, and they want to sing with you "They won't know this one. Can you sing 'em somthin' blue?" What I need to say might depress the shit outta you The song must end, and in the end, silence lays to blame. Nobody knows what to do. So, we'll clap for me and for you It gives us something to do. I’m sittin' by the fire and I don’t know what to do The wind is still blowing and the sun is shining too With more power than we would know with what to do The whole world is telling us just what we need to do But we sit here pretending like we don’t know what to do I’ve said my piece and it’s still up to me and you So, I’m sitting by the fire and I think I know what to do.
