If you haven’t noticed this town is a very small place, And it makes me wonder about the type of people that live here. Now there is diversity of origin with every kind of race, But there’s a type of race that is starting to disappear. That race is an economic one called the working class, It is heavily getting replaced by what we normal folk call the wealthy. These people drive their shiny Mercedes like their whole life was a free pass, And they flaunt their money around to the point where it’s unhealthy. They buy their cookie cutter mansions up like they’re buying Taco Bell, Spending a million dollars on a house for four surely isn’t ridiculous. And maybe it wouldn’t be if the other 99% of America could do it as well, But we have a lack of money that makes us a bit more meticulous. We aren’t able to buy a new house or a new car just because we want to, And we sure as hell can’t afford a Porsche or a Corvette. Unlike you we have our sad little low paying jobs to do, Yes, I’m totally sure sitting in your office chair really makes you break a sweat. But the worst part of it all is these rich people will have a daughter or a son! And they’re gonna grow up to be just like their mother and father. It’ll be like watching a reality tv show rerun, They’ll be wasting the same money and being the same bother. My children will be working just to buy enough gas for their car, While these kids will ask mommy or daddy for a new watch or phone. But I guarantee you the working class kids will go twice as far, As the little rich kids who will grow up always expecting a loan.

cold and sunny friday
I want to get hit by a BMW. I want to get hit by a Mercedes. I want to get run over by a Porsche. Something big. I want to get smeared against the pavement by a Cadillac Escalade. I want to get hit by one of those big ******** who drag gasoline across the continent, but I want the driver to be a manic psychopath. I want him to stalk me on the sidewalk and then run me over slowly. He's not any coward, not like those bald patriarchal Corvette drivers in polo shirts tucked into khakis. No, he's a great fat man, a hairy beast with a crooked stare that slows the pulse on impact. I want the police to cringe or get scared interrogating him, and haul his truck somewhere to be inspected. I want the price of gas in nearby areas to go up by at least fifteen cents for two weeks. I want to get hit by a BMW. I want to roll over the windshield, and drag under the bottom for about ten yards. I want to separate at the middle and leave organs on his left side view mirror and hanging on his hood ornament. I want to seep blood deep into his car, and when he turns on his heat, he'll smell my blood full blast in his face burning. I want to wreck the car inside and out. I want to get hit by a car with a McCain sticker on the bumper. I don't want to get hit by some middle class Ford or Honda, or someone's shit-level Chevy or beat up jalopy. I want to get hit by a BMW. I want the driver to make his tires scream like banshees, and leave four long streaks of rotten burned rubber on the asphalt. I want him to step out in business attire, and gasp, inwardly. I want to flip off the sky, because my aim is bad, and call him a coward for hitting the brakes. I want him to think, "What did I do? Is he Okay? What am I going to do? What if I lose my license? How will I get to work? How will I pay for this. Does my insurance cover vehicular manslaughter? I'm not alone right? I'll get through this. I'll survive. I'll just be another statistic. That's all."

The Christmas rush has started, and the countdown has begun Advent doors are opened, but look what you have done You've ridiculed the Bounty bar, and your spoiling all the fun Why buy a Celebration, if your not happy after one ? What's behind the cardboard doors, what did you all expect A gold ring perhaps, or the keys for a corvette? Why bother with an advent, when you have no respect There's no need for chocolate genocide, or coconut neglect You shouldn't be so outraged, with your Christmas Celebrations I don't understand the malice, or the advent hesitations If you don't want a bounty, buy heroes or sensations It's hardly a matter for Interpol, or the united nations Celebrations are your choice, there's no cause for your regret The outcome is quite obvious, why are you so upset Are the pictures not a clue, to what your gonna get ? No rarity of Bounty hunters, so don't mess with Boba Fett Are Maltesers that much lighter, in a Galaxy far away Maybe you will find Mars, in between the Milky Way A Twix or Galaxy Caramel, they we're for a different day But you've dissed your celebrations, and no longer want to play Some YouTube clips have surfaced, and I have read the blogs I think it's just pathetic, seeing chocolate thrown down bogs Your creating your own misery, as well as yule time logs You won't be very happy, when your toilet blocks and clogs On day two you still complained, and you wanted to resist Is that because the chocolate, was not on your Christmas list Would you be pleased with mistletoe, if you never did get kissed Christmas spirit has been lost, with your Snickers in a twist Some people are just morons, that's the message that they've sent Their expectations are to high, and cruel jokes are never meant Why is Bounty not as good, to start of an event A Snickers in your calendar, doesn't mean a ruined advent

Advent hesitations with your Christmas Celebrations

He tosses in his sleep He never gets a good night's rest He tosses in his sleep He never gets a good night's rest His mind is tired but can't control what's in his chest She tosses in her sleep Dreaming of a better place She tosses in her sleep Dreaming of a better place She gave up looking and now she's got tears on her face He wears a cigarette She wears a bayonet He drives a beater and she drives a swift Corvette He's not a cheater and she's one he won't forget He's got a plan But doesn't know how to start He's got a plan But doesn't know how to start He's too young to understand the language of his heart She's got a picture But hasn't developed it yet She's got a picture But hasn't developed it yet All she sees is a silent silhouette He wears a cigarette She wears a bayonet He drives a beater and she drives a swift Corvette He's not a cheater and she's one he won't forget He wrote his name and number On the missionary of his hotel He wrote his name and number On the missionary of his hotel As he laid it down he felt his heart begin to swell She called him up And they talked over a drink or two She called him up And they talked over a drink or two Now all their reservations are made for two

A Long Short Story
The formulae for well being is found in those memories, a preparedness to unearth yesterday's yearbooks; which releases those far flung controls of analogue,  resurrecting belt driven record players to play Starbuck and Brothers Johnson reviving  '76, mentally speeding on pristine motorways, buzzing by on a chevy  corvette humming to the suggestive "Afternoon Delight" vying with your Radio's antenna.

My childhood bicycle was like a Cadillac with fins and gizmos but my brother suggested we strip it down. My brother tried to fix a red corvette in our family's garage. The computer has replaced my childhood bicycle with its journeys to cyberspace. The 5 year old car of my mother's which I drive is orange and waits in our family's garage.

My Long Ago Bike
On our knees, working the naked Ken to mount the clueless Barbie, making them moan, screaming, "O! O! O! O!" Dumb toothsome puppets, self-satisfied, bubble gum Corvette, her small *** huge knockers, and nothing proven or dared, solving bodies unlike those we pushed so hard against — me and my Easy Bake, you and your erector set.

. Seems that I'm spending most of my time down at the Karaoke King. Under more normal circumstances I wouldn't even say a thing.(But...) I need to invest some more time in me or I'll never become a star, because I've sunk a pretty penny just pimpin' out my car. And this Mississippi mud is even bogging down my truck, and if I don't keep it rockin' I may never get unstuck. Success always comes from hard, hard work it never comes to you from afar. Would you please remind me tonight to change the strings on my air guitar? And I've been too tired to dance with my own silhouette. I just want a house out in the country, and a brand new black Corvette. My future's slowly rising, it shouldn't take me long. You see, this stage has been my home and this here's my new song! I need to invest some more time in me or I'll never become a star, because I've sunk a pretty penny   just pimpin' out my car. And this Mississippi mud is even boggin' down my truck, and if I don't keep it rockin' I may never get unstuck. Wont you help me, please; won't you help me? Because I want to be a star. Just do me a favor and remind me tonight to change the strings on my air guitar. Please do me a favor and remind me tonight... to change the strings on my air guitar. .

The fairground music played, under the palm trees And the beggar running around having himself some fun The sweet song serenade, it was our song to take So we took it and we begun Under the shadow of, the ancient Ferris wheel Where teenage lovers locked lips and hands held tight I hear the screaming of young love in the summer Screaming promise you’ll always stay by my side The gypsy danced, she was just magic Then she fell to her knees Her crimson dress, laced with yellow ribbon Just a penny, for your thoughts if you will please I see the magic, of the fairground, I see the lost lovers waiting to be found I feel the passion of those soft kisses, and the fear of the old state ghost train in the fair ground Maria came to me, I’d seen her in my dreams, her voice, was never what I thought Let’s just stay right here, under the Ferris wheel and catch those lovers as they fall We took a ride, through the house of mirrors and as I thought life’s never as it seems Maria sang to me, her tongue tasted sweet, from the dungeons I hear the children scream We took a walk, over the sandy streets, where the grains and the earth stuck to our feet The boys in denim vests, shaved chests, I see the way they look at you Maria I don't have the looks, but i can look at you with more passion than they do I grab you by the hand, we run into the shadows of the travelers burlesque ball room i saw Samantha in her, black laced corset, Little jimmy outside blasting music from his newly polished corvette I see the way the other women look at me dear, but i'm just tasting paradise with Maria I’m smiling, you were laughing, your teeth as white as the stars in the sky Your sweet voice laying over the fairground song, was sweet enough to make a man cry The juggler and hot dog stands, sit on the arid land, the rust gathers over the roller coaster Me and Maria I think my dear we could just walk hand in hand through the fairground forever

Barbie's Dream Brothel
once a collage hung on a wide white wall   with monochrome photos of   all creatures great and small   Dali juxtaposed with Doris Day, LBJ atop JFK, and Joe DiMaggio, grinning Frankenstein and frowning Frank Sinatra, not far below Hemingway, Groucho Marx, Marlon Brando   occupying three of four corners, the bottom right a curious cat, in stretched repose dead center, a cracked crucifix and four Beatles all, Paul the biggest with the cross crowning his frame     a Corvette, and Stalin in his tomb   were also given ample room, on this black and white piece of art   as were ****** Cleaver, with cap, Jimi Hendrix with axe   another three score and a couple more, completed this cacophony of sight, but absent were J. Bieber, Beyonce, any of the Simpsons of Fox fame, revealing the artist of this gray masterpiece   was blissfully blind to cyber sacrilege, Steve Job’s toys, and the lost soul of Lindsey Lohan

Dali, Alfred E. Newman, and Geronimo
At midnight, out on the cobblestones There’s the sound of rolling wheels, And a shadow cast on a window pane From the road outside, it steals, A wagon, black in its livery, And pulled by a single horse, As black as the heart of the man that steers, Whipped up from the watercourse. From down in a tiny inlet, deep Enough for a man of war, A French corvette is lying, waiting, Just metres away from shore, It carried a cargo of brandy, wine, And cases full of tea, Smuggled into the tiny cove Its goods all duty free. Now it’s waiting upon the tide To turn the ship around, Its cargo gone in the wagon now, Headed for higher ground, And then the galloping hoofbeats echo Over the cobblestones, The crack of a couple of pistols and The air is filled with groans. The horse breaks free of its halter and The wagon rolls back down, It’s shadow passing my window pane A second time around, It rolls back into the harbour while I hear the boom of guns, Firing from the French Corvette As it hoists its sail, and runs. Once a year on the fifth of June And late into the night, Whenever the moon is lying low And casting down its light, I see the shadows and hear the sounds From that deadly time of yore, As the ghostly French Corvette departs And sails from the ghostly shore. And glistening out on the cobblestones There’s a dampness, looks like mud, That dissipates in an hour or two, A pool of the smuggler’s blood, I dare not go to the window, look, Or even open the door, In case I’m carried away by them From two hundred years before.

I want to be the girl they sing about I want to be the one that "gets around" I'd like to be the doorknob turned I'd like to be "she never learns" Breaking boys' poor little hearts Teach me how and I'll play the part Instead of the one who falls for the guy Left all alone in her bedroom to cry Tired of being Miss Always gets hurt I want to leave them first I want to to be The One you can't trust Leave them all in the dust The One who "got away" The One who never stays in one place I want my own trophy shelf I'd like to be The Girl with notches on her belt I want to be **That ***** The One you fell in love with The little red corvette The poison Your regret The One who makes you feel sick Who doesn't give a **** The One who's keepin' score Who never likes them more The One all the girls hate The Girl who plays mind games The One who "has it all" The Girl who watches them fall The Spider trapping you in a web The Witch placing curses, wishing you unwell **I'm so furious *if looks could **** I'd watch your blood spill The girls boys choose while I continuously lose** I want to play the tricks while you obey my every whim Instead of being me Miss Always Lonely The Girl who leaves you broken hearted with a dismiss kiss and could care less you two parted Instead of Miss Last Pick Instead of The 19 year old ****** Instead of The Girl they'd all just love to **** Instead of "great **** Instead of "nice *** Instead of The One you want to lay Instead "never a relationship" Instead of "hey, hot girl, let's play" Instead of the body Instead of too smart Instead of too talkative and weird Instead of the feminist Instead "Miss Morals" Instead of 'What a ***** Instead of a novelty Instead of the rarity Instead of past tense When made fun of in elementary and middle school I used to wish and  hope I could be Miss Hot Miss Thousand Watts And now... I have nothing else but... I want to beautiful too... not just an *** and ***** They don't want to talk They just want to **** So I blow them off Only one boyfriend where all I did was bend and too many "I hardley know you" drunken make outs with too many doubts Only One love and he broke my heart... The boyfriend The love were two different people With the first I tried.. With the Second I cried 4 years of wasted time They say I'm "too hard to figure out" I'm "too hard to sleep with" too much this too much that So maybe if I change I can be Miss Perfect In the end... I just want to be loved... everyone does.

Yeah I like plants now.. I notice other peoples plants in their yard and find myself asking them one evening " what kind of plant is that?"  The conversation carries on and we talk about things I never cared about. Turns out, The things I don't care about are a lot more intersting than the things I do..  I decide to grow some roses in my front yard and they bloom in the spring and sometimes in the fall.  Turns out I have what they call a green thumb.. I have the most beautiful roses in town.. I find myself driving a lot slower.  Even when im in my Corvette.. I drive slow hoping this ride will last forever.. I use to drive fast everywhere.. But driving slow gets you there better..  Even if there is no place at all..  I find myself going to small towns more.. Just passing through makes my soul feel better.. Sometimes I stop and walk some random sidewalk.. Under the sun in some small town I have never been to.  So don't be scared to grow a plant, don't be scared to slow down, and don't be scared to go to a random small town.. Life is to fast.. Theres no need to try and get ahead of it.. Just ride with it and see a lot more even if your in one place..

Yeah I like plants now..
I’ve been sitting here for weeks, and this is the first time you’ve noticed me? Do you think I like being under this teacup? I’m terrified; it’s dark and cold. You’re out at your party, and all I can think about is my wife, all alone on the web back home just waiting for something, anything, to fly by. It’s all a joke to you though, you sick man. And would you believe that I climbed into a man’s suit, got on a plane, flew all the way from Europe, and lived with Johnny Depp for a while? No, no you wouldn’t— you work at NASA, you drive a corvette, you are dating the Aphrodite of your age and it’s all not enough. So let me tell you about me: I’m not like you or him or anyone else here. I don’t own shiny medals or have my own talk show, I’m just looking for a chip in a cup, some little imperfection that will set me free. I’ve been thinking how I like smooth jazz poptarts gushers wheat thins. I have hundreds of kids I’ve never met, and a home in your bedroom window. But none of that matters anymore because I’m trapped under this ridiculous cup and it’s dark, and I’m cold. I’m beginning to think I should just give up.

The girl with the leather jacket And the leather high-high heels Wearing a black tube top And skimpy shorts. Hair; blonde, shiny wild locks Face painted gorgeous, Luscious red lips Scream. Skin sun-kissed. Holding her flask In the right hand Filled to the brim With Jack Daniel’s whiskey. Pockets filled with cigarettes And marijuana joints. She takes a cigarette out, holds it to her lips. Leaning on a black corvette Ignites her death. Inhale, exhale Bad.

Babe, honey
Blonde in a red Corvette, free as a bird Me, just a child, staring at her Remember thinking, that's where I'm gonna be In a red Corvette, at 33 No kids, no baggage, not even a dog Stomp on the gas, and simply take off No limits, no signs, just a juicy sunset The wind in my hair, not an ounce of regret She never saw me, but I'll never forget The phoenix who flew past me in a red Corvette

Phoenix in a red Corvette
Hekyl and Jyde Dr Hekyll was a strange old sort dabbled in physics and reform of tort took things serious as a heart attack never smiled much hardly ever a crack he worked every day from dawn to dusk research from rhino horn to sweet corn husk when he sipped on his brew stumbling in a haze colors flashing everywhere fell into a daze his hair bouffant and his collar flipped behind the wheel of his corvette he slipped checking his pretty face in the rear view mirror Yes he was cool Mr Jyde couldn't get any clearer down to the nite clubs he would saunter in order himself a tall boy of tonic and gin the ladies would flock all seeking his attention checking his supply of disaster prevention by two a.m. his reserves running thin time to get back to his laboratory again before his hair and good looks disappeared they would all get a look at his scraggly beard as the sun arose he staggered to his feet dressed in his fancy suit Italian shoes on his feet rubbed his eyes and in the mirror he winked threw himself a kiss and never even blinked yes he was a contrast of demeanor and style his somber face covering up his smile back to his dreary life of barely alive he was Dr. Hekyll and Mr. Jyde Gomer LePoet....

Hekyll and Jyde
In the middle of a desert is a booming city With big bright lights Stands a man with a key to a corvette With a black leather coat And his pack of cigarettes He stands calm and chill Ready for anything He gets on his metallic horse And rides like the wind With the stench of burning rubber 10 20 30 50 70 90 110 The man speeds through the night With the squeal of the tires On the fresh paved road On the quiet sandy desert Outside of the city Where he rides alone He is The Lone Ranger

The Lone Ranger
Today, I gazed upon the future. Stingrays, Mercedes S-Class, Corvette ZR1.... I couldn't take my eyes off that brand new Vette I looked at my dad and pointed at that ZR1 I said That's why I'm in college I won't quit till I fall out I won't stop till I'm gone I don't want to be good I don't aim to just be better If I'm gonna do it I have to be the best Maybe more But for sure For sure Absolutely nothing less That's my ZR1 My Z06 I'll take off in that S-Class How do you say..... Kompressor Appetite for Champagne Budget for beer No worry Prospects are already flowing I'll be the first round draft pick I still hold the top spot Highest grade point average Dead serious I got this Heads up I'm coming for you Remember those three letters JMG You'll see them again I promise I am not the same I'm an alien I hover over you Climb in my spaceship Let's go for a ride If you dare to understand me You'll never let go But dare for a ride Cause I'm not slowing down until i find out what that means I'm not gonna quit til my brain stops tickin I'm hungry Starving I'm gonna plow through this **** Like Cam Newton through some Gamecocks.....Yeah 56-17 You can try to do something about it I really hope you do I'm a soldier I'm never ever Going away I swear to god You better keep your eyes open
