Good times may come Good times may go go go go But through it all despair is a no no no no Treating you right Should come from muscle memory I don't wanna fight But you're so Incendiary I will always be your friend Like second nature Stay with you to the end, like second nature Might be trouble up around the bend Find a signal we can send Yeah I hope you'll always do the same for me Second nature is my first priority GO Its not so hard To live life with common decency Give it a try I wont respond to your Toxicity I will always be your friend Like second nature Stay with you to the end, like second nature Might be trouble up around the bend Ain't nothing we can't mend Yeah I hope you'll always do the same for me Second nature is my first priority YEAH I'll treat you like I wanna be treated Trying to avoid a friendship deleted Try and try again, giving endless loyalty You don't make all the rules, no you're not royalty I will always be your friend Like second nature Stay with you to the end, Like second nature Might be trouble up around the bend Find a signal we can send Yeah I hope you'll always do the same for me Second nature is my first priority

Bad Connection (free) 02:48
Morning, this morning the curtains are shut I'll ring you in the morning, but the phone's been cut Can you hear me? (Ooh, can you hear me?) I've been calling all day Can you hear me? (Ooh, can you hear me? Ooh, can you hear me?) The radio reporter said the line's all dead He told me that I oughta write a letter instead Can you hear me? (Ooh, can you hear me?) I've been calling all day Can you hear me? (Ooh, can you hear me? Ooh, can you hear me?) I wish they'd fix the wires, 'cause my baby don't know That I'm leaving in the morning, and I'm ready to go Can you hear me? Can you hear me at all? Gotta get the operator, make a telephone call And if I write a letter it won't get there on time I'll only reach you, baby, on the telephone line Can you hear me? (Ooh, can you hear me?) I've been calling all day Can you hear me? (Ooh, can you hear me? Ooh, can you hear me?) My car's all ready, and my bags are all packed I'm late already, and I won't be back Can you hear me? (Ooh, can you hear me?) I've been calling you all day Can you hear me? (Ooh, can you hear me? Ooh, can you hear me?) I wish they'd fix the wires, 'cause my baby don't know That I'm leaving in the morning, and I'm ready to go Can you hear me? Can you hear me at all? Gotta get the operator, make a telephone call Do do do I wish they'd fix the wires, 'cause my baby don't know That I'm leaving in the morning, and I'm ready to go Can you hear me? Can you hear me at all? Gotta get the operator, make a telephone call Ooh can you hear me?

Monotony 03:17
Monotony is killing me oh can't you see Monotony is draining me of sanity Monotonys the enemy of clarity Repeating everything I do, the drugery All work and no play Is dulling all my senses Breaking me down Weaken my defenses I know the things you're gonna say, every day The story that you told before, is still the same Variety's the spice of life, or so they say Monotony monotony monotony All work and no play Is dulling all my senses Breaking me down Weaken my defenses I've done it all before But I'm doing it over and over again Said it a million times But I'm saying it over and over and over and over again Monotony it keeps me in captivity I cant escape this prison of redundancy The tedium of dwelling is a tragedy The only way to get the fruit, is shake the tree All work and no play Is dulling all my senses Breaking me down Weaken my defenses All work and no play Is dulling Monty's senses Breaking me down Weaken my defenses

I'm gonna call you on my avocado phone I wish I never saw you, although I'm glad I did Just wanna get through to you just for a minute , god forbid I'm gonna call you on my avocado phone I hate it when your ma says you're not home Although you never call me back, and tell me I'm on the right track I'm gonna call you on my avocado phone

We should be happy, we shouldn't complain But that's not how I feel You don't understand, you said the feminists trapped me It all seems so surreal But I fear that you couldn't be more wrong And I know you wont concede it But the old ways got to go It doesn't work no more It doesn't work no more It used to work but now it doesn't work no more It doesn't work no more It doesn't work no more It used to work but now it doesn't work no more Society's askew They fuck you at the drive through You only had one job Your burdens weigh a ton Keep Foxie on the run You're consuming what they rob Now I know that you couldn't be more wrong And I know you might impede it But the old ways got to go It doesn't work no more It doesn't work no more It used to work but now it doesn't work no more It doesn't work no more It doesn't work no more It used to work but now it doesn't work no more Tell me why, it isn't what they said I'm sick and tired of only blue or red Tell me why, without a lie Won't get fooled again with your alibi It doesn't work no more It doesn't work no more It used to work but now it doesn't work no more
