1. MESSIN'

Right now the world ain't looking too hot
Unless you're dead you must know what I mean
There's a ...
They say they've got an answer but I think it's all a dream

Well it's easy to forget about it, just get high
Live up in your castle in the sky
But you still breathe in the same air as me
Eating, drinking, poisoning where it should be

We're messin' up the land
We're messin' up the sea
We're messin' up the air
Messin' up on you and me
(Repeat)

Things are worse than going wrong
Here we still go rushing proudly on
Take a look around, like around you everywhere
This must be the age, the age of I don't care

Right now the world ain't looking too hot
Unless you're dead you must know what I mean
You can read it in the papers, hear it on the news
The earth is going down, going down in pollution blues

We're messin' up the land
We're messin' up the sea
We're messin' up the air
Messin' up on you and me
(Repeat)


2. BUDDAH

Saw Buddah walking down the street
I said, "Hey man, I never thought we'd meet"
Looked at me and he did a dance
He said, "Hey son, you gotta take your chance"

Saw Jesus in '65
Said, "Hey son, you're still alive"
He was standing in a riot zone
Said, "Hey man, why don't you go home?"
He said, "I never was, never will be
What you gotta do is carry on and forget about me"

Saw Moses in a Cadillac
Said, "Hey man, why did you come back?"
He looked at me and he did a dance
Said, "Hey man, you gotta take your chance"

Saw the saviour standing on the stage
He looked at me, I was in a rage
Looked my way and he said to me
"You gotta carry on and forget about me
'Cause I never was, never will be
What you gotta do is carry on and forget about me"

4. GET YOUR ROCKS OFF

You know, there's two ol' maids layin' in the bed,
One picked herself up an' the other one, she said:
"Get your rocks off!
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off-a me! (Get 'em off!)"

Well, you know, there late one night up on Blueberry Hill,
One man turned to the other man and said, with a blood-curdlin' chill, he said:
"Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off-a me! (Get 'em off!)"

Well, you know, we was layin' down around Mink Muscle Creek,
One man said to the other man, he began to speak, he said:
"Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off-a me! (Get 'em off!)"

Well, you know, we was cruisin' down the highway in a Greyhound bus.
All kinds-a children in the side road, they was hollerin' at us, sayin':
"Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off-a me!"

6. BLACK AND BLUE

I been working so hard my backs near broke
My brows are wet and my throat's a choke
You sent me here for ten long years
I miss my whiskey I miss my beer
Ain't seen a gal since I don't know when
And the way you treat me won't see one again

Well, you can beat me
You can try to break me
Still I'll say to you
You'll never break my spirit
When my body's black and blue

Well in my arm there's a dreadful pain
It's hard digging ditches with a ball and chain
You broke my back cause I spat on a guard
That don't make me no better, that just makes me hard
Your water it stinks 'cause it comes from a bog
And the food you serve me ain't fit for a dog

You can beat me
You can try to break me
And still I'll say to you
You'll never break my spirit
When my body's black and blue


7. MARDI GRAS DAY

The big bass drum led the big parade
All on a Mardi Gras Day
The trombone was playing the tailgate song
All on a Mardi Gras Day
The bugler came down playing a bugle call
All on a Mardi Gras Day
And all that you could hear the people say
was, Oh Bah Lea

Everybody now comes .. (in line?)
All on a Mardi Gras Day
... are doing the second line
All on a Mardi Gras Day
...
All on a Mardi Gras Day
And all we're gonna say all night and day
is, Oh Bah Lea

The world danced down to St. Andrews Street
All on a Mardi Gras Day
From Chapitulla south to Magnolia Street
All on a Mardi Gras Day
I (espied/spied) the Injuns and ...
All on a Mardi Gras Day
And all that you could hear was the people saying
Oh Bah Lea
Black Eagles band plays ... Fee-Nah-Nay
All on a Mardi Gras Day
And all that you could hear was the people saying
Oh Bah Lea


8. PRETTY GOOD

I met a girl from Venus
And her insides were made of gold
Well, she did what she did and said "How was it, kid?"
She was politely told
"Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain
But actually everything is just about the same."

I heard Allah and Buddha
Were singing at the Saviour's feast
And up in the sky an Arabian rabbi
Fed Quaker oats to a priest
Pretty good, not bad, they can't complain
'Cause actually all them gods are just about the same

Moonlight makes me dizzy
Sunlight makes me clean
Your light is the sweetest thing
That this boy has ever seen

Molly went to Arkansas
She got raped by Dobbin's dog
Well, she was doing good till she went in the wood
And got pinned up against a log
Pretty good, not bad, she can't complain
'Cause actually all them dogs are just about the same

I got a friend in Fremont
And he sells used cars, you know
Well he calls me up twice a year
Just to ask me how'd it go
Pretty good, not bad, I can't complain
Actually everything is just about the same
