Rusty


VERSE 1
It’s been too long since my last dance
Never gave my tired soul a single chance
To rest and unwind in the easy chair
While complaining that this isn’t fair
Fifteen hundred words sung like birds
The most drunken shit you’ve ever heard
Colored pencils on a blank white canvas
Muscled orcs swinging big fucking axes

CHORUS
Not a problem, it’s just a little rust
Blow the pages into a cloud of dust
Clear the cobwebs from my head
Thank the universe that I’m not dead

VERSE 2
Three days coming, three more going
Ran out of gas, showing signs of slowing
Can’t concentrate worth a good goddamn
Can’t be your Adderall addicted superman
A candle that burned at more than two ends
A streak of sadness growing hard to defend
The lowest of lows and the lowest of blows
Is when everyone cares, but nobody knows

CHORUS
Not a problem, it’s just a little rust
Blow the pages into a cloud of dust
Clear the cobwebs from my head
Thank the universe that I’m not dead

BRIDGE
How much more can I do today?
How many obstacles are in my way?
How many hours must I spend in bed?
To not feel like I’m the walking dead?

VERSE 3
Complaining about it doesn’t feel right
When others have a much bloodier fight
Keep my chin up and ball up my hands
I don’t expect the world to understand
I don’t expect the world to forgive me
For this rusty life that I’m truly living
I don’t expect the world to bow down
I’m tapping out in the final round

CHORUS
Not a problem, it’s just a little rust
Blow the pages into a cloud of dust
Clear the cobwebs from my head
Thank the universe that I’m not dead

Right Here Right Now


VERSE 1
Get your ass out of bed
You ain’t fucking dead
You just want to pretend
You’re at the contract’s end
I will sue your tired ass
If you don’t get your act
Together right this minute
This fight? You can’t win it

CHORUS
Right here! Right now!
Next show! Next town!
You were born for greatness!
So I won’t accept your lateness!

VERSE 2
Chug that can of Red Bull
Until your bladder’s full
Pop those bitter pills
They help pay the bills
Sign your autographs
Share a few horse laughs
They’re your fucking fans
Treat them like your clan

EXTENDED CHORUS 1
Right here! Right now!
Next show! Next town!
You were born for greatness!
So I won’t accept your lateness!
Right here! Right now!
All smiles! No frowns!
I won’t accept mediocrity!
Or this will end in tragedy!

VERSE 3
Do it for the exposure
As you find some closure
With your corporate deal
Your pie in the sky meal
You’re stretched so thin
It’s almost like a sin
How we treat our staff
It’s all just for a laugh

EXTENDED CHORUS 2
Right here! Right now!
Next show! Next town!
You were born for greatness!
So I won’t accept your lateness!
Right here! Right now!
Make me rich! Make me proud!
You can rest when you’re dead!
But you’ll still be in my debt!
