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!

Kicking Me While I'm Down


VERSE 1
Cheap shot, money shot, what’s the difference?
They both chip away at someone’s innocence
Brick by brick, my foundation crumbles down
The rubble on my carcass weighs a million pounds
Even when life itself has passed me the fuck by
I keep asking myself again what’s the reason why?
Why are these steel toed boots kicking my ribs?
Why is negativity all these fuckers have to give?

CHORUS 1
You’re kicking me while I’m down!
In the head! In the balls!
You’re kicking me while I’m down!
It’s funny as shit when I slip and fall!

VERSE 2
One final pulse beats through my broken body
Yet none of you clowns have found a new hobby
Kicking me around like you own the damn town
And here I thought this ended after the final round

CHORUS 2
You’re kicking me while I’m down!
In the teeth! In the ass!
You’re kicking me while I’m down!
You’ve got no soul! You’ve got no class!

BRIDGE
Maybe if I pull myself up by the bootstraps
Walk a hundred more miles to fill the gaps
Stretch myself a little thinner every day
You’d kick me when I’m down anyway

CHORUS 3
You’re kicking me while I’m down!
In the jaw! In the gut!
You’re kicking me while I’m down!
Giving me bruises! Opening cuts!
You’re kicking me while I’m down!
In the shins! In the ribs!
You’re kicking me while I’m down!
If I’m going to hell, I’m taking you with!
