you want to know what my wish is
to permanently burn my bridges
so, i never have to go back
to that

listening to the voices
of all of my bad choices
in thinking i was right
not quite

if you ask me i see no sense
in doing it all again
the results would be the same
what a shame

that's why i'm here with matches
in front of all my bridges
so, i never have to go back
to that again

With so much here to worry for
Where went the big I can
As opportunity closes another door
For The New Millennial Man

Promised this and that in the past
From the upper echelon
Only to have our hopes dashed
As the world outside rubs us wrong

Like a dooms day prophet preaching
After predictions fail to land
Holding tight the sliver of hope
For The New Millennial Man                

Are we done paying attention
To our needs not being met
With all the noise it's hard to listen
How many second chances will we get

Would you mind this time showing us a sign
Or at least a helping hand
As our kind dies on the vine
The New Millennial Man

Theodore Tooth
Refused to let loose
Like he was supposed to
Being long in the tooth

Although a part of the crowd
He would not go that route
Brushing often, up and down
Flossing himself where it counts

Staying ahead of the game
Sadly, his friends did not do the same
Ask him and he'd often say
What a doggone rotten shame

As they one by one fell out
Far too many now to count
Gone from the North, East, West and South
His friends no longer hang around

To tell you the honest truth
What is there for a lone tooth to do
But to change his name into
That of Snaggletooth

This isn't what I thought it was
We took a left and then got lost
Rumble, tumble, twisted, tossed
In this Modern World

Dorthy, there's no place like home
Take me back to sticks and stones
Please just leave me alone
In this Modern World

They said that we'd be flying cars
Vacationing on the Planet Mars
In the future near and far
In this Modern World

We've lost our thoughts in how to think
I mostly miss the sanity
Before this game of hide and seek
In this Modern World

Supposedly we'd all relax
As our robots did their best
Now we serve them at their bequest
In this Modern World

We find that time is running thin
Working more at worrying
Out of control in constant spin
In this Modern World

Cannibals love
To make dinner with friends
Until there are
None of their friends left
Although to them
It doesn't much matter
They'll even have
Dinner with strangers
And take-home doggy bags
To enjoy them later
From medium to rare
Well done to raw
Their Savoir-faire
Is they'll eat them all
Although there's one thing
Cannibals seldom eat
And that's vegetables
It leaves green in their teeth
Cannibals wash
It all down with Pepsi
They think Coke is a joke
Those backwoods Pygmy's
With so much going on
In todays does and don'ts
Everyone knows
Friends go better with Coke

i said what i said
believe it or not
ideas swirl round my head
long before they are caught

one might slip in its dip
making little sense
before you know, there you go
another follows it

flying through fiery hoops
skedaddle de do
this is as old as it is new
may the farce be with you

take it with a grain of salt
before you pepper it
with the thing you ought not
adding to the mix

are you ahead of the times
or do you tend to lag
be the string that holds the kite
to the tail that steady's it

jumping through fiery hoops
skedaddle de do
i think a ***** is coming loose
may the farce be with you

Like the time before this
And the time before that
Will we do it again
Don't make me laugh

Double or nothing
On the nothing we have
Want to hear something
Here we go again

You can lean to the left
Or rumba to the right
Doesn't much matter
In how you choose sides

You can dip your toe in
The slightest tidbit
If truth be known
Here we go again

There's nothing new
Still without a clue
Of what we have done
And are soon to do

We'll buy the whole farm
From beginning to end
Sound the alarm
Here we go again
