you try and justify your life
as it all moves right along
you do your best to try and find
a good reason to all that's wrong

you nitpick at the answers
like an unruly child of three
around the issues, a great dancer
in two part harmony

you consult with modern gurus  
hand picked from the bunch
but like you without a clue
they're also out to lunch

but never has that mattered
when you come face to face
you just put back on the blindfold
and move along your merry way

as you continue the lies to justify
all the wrongs pretended right
you're the only fool you're fooling
but not the only one in this line

Tony the Tiger sleeps in the bowl
And me right along by his side
Waiting for the day to make its way
And the sugar surge to be our guide

Homogenized as the TV lies
On the days upcoming events
Pasting our capes with frosted flakes
To combat every hit that we get

With utensils in hand we'll spoon our way fed
The moment we wake from this dream
Then it's back in the box where we hide the whole lot
Tony the Tiger & me

From one end to the other
Climbing trees and riding bikes
I'm lucky to still be kicking
After all this time

Some things that I've ingested
Have taken its toll on me
I have yet to learn a lesson
On what I do and do not need

In all of this I propose a toast
Raise my glass on high
I've seen more than most
This cat has had some lives

From skydiving to bronco riding
I have yet to skip a beat
After all these years I find that
I'm still landing on my feet

Call it a curse or call it a gift
Throwing caution to the wind
Sometimes I hit, sometimes I miss
But I always get up and do it again

In all of this I propose a toast
Raise my glass on high
I've seen more than most
This cat has had some lives

So glad it came with nine...

Superman needs to iron things out
The Man of Steel is filled with doubt
The world's moving faster than a speeding train
Which only hurts his brain

Used to jump tall buildings in a single bound
Now he jumps at the slightest sound
Popping pills to calm his nerves
Just getting out of bed these days is work

Krypton is looking like a wonderful place
Than the world the Man of Steel sees these days
He might go back and hide in the fact
He's much happier as the mild mannered Clark Kent

When it's hard these days to fly in the sky
As all the smog clouds his eyes
And have you ever tried to bend steel
With a battered soul and broken will

The people of the world can take care of themselves
Either that or call somebody else
He's packing it up and calling it a day
Moving up, up, and away

Superman these days is filled with doubt
Needs a break to iron things out
He'd rather sleep on a bed of Kryptonite
Than try and deal with this crazy life

I've lost my  "J"
I've lost my  "O"
I've lost my  "Y"
Don't you know

I've let recent
Circumstance
Dictate to
My song and dance

The Joy that
I once had
In a "****"
Up and left

I miss the  "J"
I miss the  "O"
I miss the  "Y"
That held me close

I used to wake up
In mid-smile
Ain't seen that smile
In quite a while

With no more  "J"
And no more  "O"
There's no more  "Y"
For me to hold

I hope and pray
That one day
My lost Joy
Will come back this way
And my life can convince it
this time to stay

These days I must say
Can drive a man insane
I throw my hands up
Scream explicit names
From mornings early warning
Until late in the day
What can you do
What can you say

About all these crazy times
That we are living in
Out of our minds
At our wit's end
Don't do as they do
When you see what they did
To tell the truth
Who are we trying to kid

We can monkey it all up
Or either tear it down
Walk and chewing gum
Is much harder than it sounds
I'll tell you what's going on
We're all going down
Searing of the conscience
With all that we've aloud
