Track Name: Another Day in Paradise, Texas
When Tyler was 19 he decided to get married
The baby was 3, Sue was 18, just barely.
Sue found a job and put the baby in daycare.
If Tyler held a job for a week, it was rare.

It's just another day in Paradise, Texas
Susan wakes up and fixes some breakfast.
Ty washes up and puts his big hat on,
Laces his boots up while Sue keeps the eggs warm.

That big prairie wind just keeps on blowin
The big 18 wheelers just keep on rollin'
That river of blood just keeps on flowin'

Tyler met this guy who worked nights at the local bar
Tyler was impressed by his flashy new sports car.
The man said "Hey Tyler, you can make easy money"
"I can see you've got brains. No, I'm not being funny."

Tyler cooked up speed late at night in the basement
Blacked out the windows to keep all the light in.
Late one night when the whole house was sleeping,
A burner tipped over and the fire began creeping.

That big prairie wind just keeps on blowin'
The big 18 wheelers just keep on rollin'
That big yellow corn will soon be growin'
That river of blood just keeps on flowin'
(They can't never wash that blood away).

It's just another day in a jailhouse in Texas
The door slams open and they shove in his breakfast.
Tyler thinks of Sue and their beautiful child,
Covers his head with a pillow and cries.

fade out
Track Name: Like a Stone
The day my father died
He only had fifty dollars in the bank.
He left us an old Ford car
With a hole in the gas tank
Mama had hope for the future
But her hope chest sank
Like a stone

I was thirteen
And the youngest was three.
Mama had six hungry young
Mouths to feed
We were caught in the iron grip
Of hard-assed paverty
Hard as stone.

My family held their heads high
In the years gone past
Now a kid at school
Called my brother white trash.
My brother told him to go f*ck off
But he kicked my brother's ass
All the way home.

Man always thinks
He's the master of his fate.
He never sees the error of his ways
Until it's too late.
They were drinking champagne on the Titanic
The day it hit ice
And sank like a stone.

Track Name: You're So Apathetic - remixed
We're killing the forests and streams
But you're so apathetic
There's not enough to eat
For a large proportion of the planet
When we destroy the earth we destroy ourselves
But still you don't seem to get it
If climate change is real
We're surely going to regret it

You're silicone inflated
But your looks are over-rated
You can afford to buy all the finest things
But you're lonely and frustrated
When you look back on your life one day
You'll see its all been wasted.

A child is begging in the street
But you just shake your head
Her little baby brother has a piece of cardboard
For a bed

They piss and shit by the side of the road
In broad daylight
There's no clean running water
Or a toilet in sight

We're poisoning our seas
But you're so apathetic
There's not enough to eat
For a large proportion
Of the planet

Those expensive designer heels
Only make you look pathetic
If you go and break your leg girl
You surely will regret it.
Track Name: You're So Apathetic (Girl)

When we destroy the earth we destroy ourselves
But still you don't seem to get it
If climate change is real
We're surely going to regret it

You're silicone inflated
But your looks are over-rated
You can afford to buy all the finest things
But you're lonely and frustrated
When you look back on your life one day
You'll see its all been wasted.

Those expensive designer heels
Only make you look pathetic
If you go and break your leg girl
You surely will regret it.
