oh no she had no idea
that i had other ideas
oh no she had no idea
that i had some other ideas

i met her in Pasadena
caught up with her vageena
she's such a talker so we kept on talking
then she made my bed a coffin
jesus christ, she wants to be my friend
jesus christ, you've been out on a limb

i don't feel so good
i don't feel too good
i hate it
i feel naked
i feel naked
i hate it

oh no she had no idea
that i had other ideas
oh no she had no idea
that i had some other ideas

i want to buy up all your dollars
i want to buy up all your daughters
pick crops for my forefathers
go somewhere we can drink the water
i don't wanna live like a human being
i want to throw up on whatever you believe in
i want to shoot up with the space needle
i want to fly with the fucking eagle

and i don't feel so good
no i don't feel too good
i hate it
i'm being wasted
i'm being wasted
i hate it

greed is such an old drug
and teevee's just a deadfuck
money is the new sex
and sex is just a nuisance
take me to your leader
i wanna meet her
take me to your leader
i gotta see her

cos i don't feel so good
no, i don't feel too good
i feel naked
i hate it
i hate it
i feel naked
cos i don't feel so good
no, i don't feel too good
i'm being wasted
i hate it
i hate it
i'm being wasted

Our good friend and photographer Chris Cuttriss showed up at our show last Friday at The Echo and snapped some pretty killer shots of The Poor Excuses in action. Thanks, Chris! He has a great eye and was able to capture some awesome pictures of all of us. The pics of Tyler on drums are especially amazing, and unlike any we've seen of him before... CHECK IT OUT

do you really wanna get to know me
take some information out of these eyes
you wanna read yourself sick from your manhattan apartment
you really wanna know why
you wanna know where all the violence comes from
like there's a reason we could find in one night
i could give you some names and tell you some dates
and leave you so surprised

you know, the future is just another thing of the past
you know, the future is just a little thing of the past
you know, the future is just another thing of the past
but you can learn a lot about me if you study my ashes

i got ahead full of e-mail
i got an ache in my throat
i gotta send out a message to all of us sinners and heathens at home
god doesn't care about the airports
he never had to wait in a line in his life
he has given to use these explosive dividers
and he has said that we should learn how to die

you know, the future is just another thing of the past
come on the future is just a little thing of the past
you know, the future is just another thing of the past
but you can learn a lot about me if you study my ashes

i don't want to think about it
i will be afraid about it
i don't want to think about it
i don't
i don't want to think about it
i will get afraid about it
i don't want to think about it
i don't
i don't want to think about it
i will be afraid about it
i don't know a thing about it
i don't
YOU HAVE TO STUDY MY ASHES
YOU HAVE TO STUDY MY ASHES
YOU HAVE TO STUDY MY ASHES
STUDY MY ASHES

give me some mexican flowers
cos i ain't seen nature for hours
even my best friends, they think i'm a coward
so could you please send me some mexican flowers

i'm falling asleep in the back of a convenience store
what do you mean i don't need any more
i can't feel my feet for the fucking floor
what do you mean i don't need any more

give me some american vomit
you can make it in china, i don't care, i promise
i'm probably lying to be perfectly honest
i really need some american vomit

keep falling asleep in the back of a convenience store
i can't feel my feet for the fucking floor
what do you mean i don't need any more
i'm falling asleep in the back of a convenience store

whiskey tastes so delicious
if you're ever on TV
cocaine's one of my favorite dishes
when The Beltway gets to me
so if we lower our defenses
won't you only walk away
when we put up all our fences
can we still be on the make
i'm on the take
it's all it takes

give me some mexican flowers
cos i ain't seen nature for hours
hey, even my best friends, they struggle for power
so maybe please send me some mexican flowers

Thanks to everyone who was at The Echo! Our friend Chris Cuttriss shot some amazing photos that night, so if you weren't there you can catch up by going here. Thanks again, Chris.

And speaking of The Echo, we will be playing another show there next month, on May 17th with our good friends The Section Quartet, who are just finishing up their record with Linda Perry.

We hope to see you soon,

The Poor Excuses
