1. These Days

I took a walk yesterday not knowin' where I was goin'
and ended up in a park where I stayed until it turned dark
My eyes looked to the sky where I focused on the space between the stars
Cause it's what makes them beautiful, and I'm feelin' empty
Empty as the gas tank of the car on the side of the road
and just a little hopeless like the people tryin' to wave down some help
Why's a friend so hard to come by these days?

These days you got everything, you got ten thousand songs you can sing
You got a whole lot of people tellin' you which way to go and you go
And you know and you know it's all wrong, popcorn and politics
Armed guards and naked chicks don't mix
The melting pot is boiling over these days

I took a walk yesterday not knowing where I was goin'
not knowin' why I was movin', not knowin' what I was doin'
but tryin' to walk with some purpose, put a little meaning in my stride,
Put a little meaning in my life, why ask why
I look for answers in the sky and if the tree's could only talk to me
I'd know a lot more than I did before, than I did before
Than I did before these days

These days you got everything, you got ten thousand songs you can sing
You got a whole lot of people, tellin' you which way to go and you go
And you know and you know it's all wrong, popcorn and politics
Armed guards and naked chicks don't mix
The melting pot is boiling over these days

These days, these days, these days, these days, these days, these days

I took a walk yesterday not knowin' where I was goin'
It reminded me of how free I am
But what a slave I am to my own discontent

These days you got everything, you got ten thousand songs you can sing
You got a whole lot of people tellin' you which way to go and you go
And you know and you know it's all wrong, popcorn and politics
Armed guards and naked chicks don't mix
The melting pot is boiling over these days


2. Got that Hottie

Go ahead and figure it out
I will lend an open ear
When you find out what she's all about
Lust is such a fleeting desire
She'll spark you up and light your flame
But who's gonna tend that fire
I know just how you feel
She's runnin' through your veins
You've got a pulse again
And you're ready for the world

Cause you got that hottie
You got that hottie
You got that hottie
And you're ready for the world

So now what's your problem
Is she clinging to you a little too much?
She called you twenty times today
To tell you how she needs your touch
So bad it's so sad you just had deja vu
You just had one bad relationship
And now you've got two

And she's drivin' you crazy
She needs that commitment
She'll have your baby
And you're ready for the world

Cause you got that hottie
You got that hottie
You got that hotiie
And you're ready for the world

And she's breakin your back
she's changin' your world
She was ready for you
But were you ready for the girl?

Cause you got that hottie
You got that hottie
You got that hottie
And you're ready for the world


3. Gravity

My sweet tooth cavity shoots
Pain up in my brain bringin' on the rain
Look at the sad sack frown
So I'm puttin' on my gravity boots
cruisin' around town cruisin' around town
lookin' for a place to get down

And I'll get off my high horse
If you can be my ladder
Make sure the ground below is covered with roses
And I'll take my head out of the clouds
If you can take yours out of your ass
And we can celebrate with a night on the town

But you gotta be down
Gotta be down, gotta be down, gotta be down
gotta be down, down, down, gotta be down with me
Gotta be down, gotta be down, gotta be down
gotta be down, down, down, gotta be down with me


I read all the words off a cereal box
My curiosity is my new philosophy
But Trix are for kids
So I went to school a university
But daydream was just about all I did

And I'll get off my high horse
If you get me a ladder
Make sure the ground below is covered with roses
And I'll take my head out of the clouds
If you can take yours out of your ass
And we can celebrate with a night on the town

But you gotta be down

Gotta be down, gotta be down, gotta be down
Gotta be down, down, down, gotta be down with me
Gotta be down, gotta be down, gotta be down
Gotta be down, down, down, gotta be down with me

And I walked the souls right off these shoes
tryin' to beat these nowhere blues
And I'm choosin' everything I lose
And I'm casting shadows over you
Can't always be perfect sunny days
But you had to learn the hard way
You wanna be down with me?
I'll give you some of my gravity

Down! Gotta be...Down!


4. Afrodite

And she calls herself Aphrodite
She'll make you feel high and mighty
She got she got she got a goddess complex
And she knows just how you like it she's so
She's so unusual but she's sad and lonely
Acting real phony, just listen to what she says

Baby step in line for my love
It comes once in a lifetime
I am one of a kind; I'm an original
Baby step in life for my love
It comes once in a lifetime
I am one of a kind; I'm an original
And I heard she reeled you in with her song
Song of the siren, but you couldn't
You couldn't you couldn't you couldn't restrain yourself
And you left her there, because all is fair when you get some
She wipes her tears away as she calls to the next one

Baby step in life for my love,
It comes once in a lifetime
I am one of a kind I'm an original
Baby step in line for my love
It comes once in a lifetime
I am one of a kind I'm an original

My love is fictional; I can be an original
I can give you what you need
I can play make believe
Ecstasy I will be your fantasy
It don't bother me

Baby step in line for my love
It comes once in a lifetime
I am one of a kind; I'm an original
Baby step in line for my love
It comes once in a lifetime
I am one of a kind, I'm and original

5. Reality Radio

I'd like to make a documentary of everything that's occurred between you and me
Put us on an independent film for the whole entire world to see
ëCause everybody's watchin' you and me, cause they can't seem to just let it be
So let's put us on a television show to ease their curiosity

It's an E true story, sex and drugs and tragedy
The next cliche we found God and the rest is history
And the whole wide world was watchin' Billy Bob and Angelina Jolie...huh! No!

The way I feel
(uh huh)
The way I feel
(that's how I feel)
the way I feel
(this is real)
that this is real

I'd like to make a comedy of everything that's occurred between you and me
put it on a television show, in place of that Anna Nicole Smith Stupidity
Cause everybody loves an idiot; cause it makes them act more intelligently
So lets stop the show survivor and show them what's reality

You and me are sinkin' on the good ship lollipop
There's only one life preserver to make the drownin' stop
And I veto the vote to get kicked to the curb
Kicked to the curb, kicked to the curb
So hold my hand and hold your nose
And get ready for a moon lit dip honey

The way I feel
(Uh Huh)
The way I feel
(That's how I feel)
The way I feel
(This is real)
That this is real

Let's go on a talk show spree Oprah Winfrey will you give us some money
And then Jenny Jones can give me a makeover when you lose interest in having sex with me
And when we're married and ready for babies Ricky Lake will help prove that it's yours
And then we'll go on the Price Is Right and see what's behind those golden doors

(Gasp) It's a refrigerator
(Gasp) It's a car
(Gasp) It's a brand new house
(Gasp) It's a trip around the world

There's no more secrets to reveal
We can admit that this is real
I can't escape the way I feel
We can admit that this is real

The way I feel
(Uh Huh)
The way I feel
(That's how I feel)
The way I feel
(This is real)
That this is real

6. Satisfied

When I become famous, I'm gonna get a fake accent, I'm gonna walk up his stairs with the tightest pants on and the tightest shirt on struttin' like a mutha fucka
Mmm Hmmm, ain't it sexy ain't it, uhh huhh, get in the hot tub
Your gonna feel this. Huh, gonna get it, gonna get it
what ever you want, gonna get it..

Gonna get you high, keep you satisfied

Long distance phone sex, cheap thrills on a five dollar calling card
Unzip my jeans rolled down to my ankles, leave on my shoes
Five minutes to get you on the line three minutes we're runnin' out of time
Talk a lot of shit, pucker, struttin like a mutha fucka

Mmm hmm, ain't it sexy ain't it?
uhh huh get in the hot tub
You're gonna feel this, hey, gonna get it, gonna get it
Whatever you want gonna get it...


Gonna get you high, keep you satisfied

7. Hope for the Future

Why be normal when you can be weird
Why show your face when you can rock a bead
Why fly a plane when you can fly a jet
Why have a man when you can have a pet
Why smoke when you can breathe deep
Why be awake when you can go to sleep
Why take pull when you can take a hit
Why get high when you can get lit
Why be straight when you can be gay
Why say hello when you can say hey

Yo why not dance instead of sitting down
Why not smile instead of makin' a frown
Why be blue when you can be green
Why be nice when you can be mean
Why smoke crack when you can smoke dope
Why have doubt when you can have hope

There's hope for the future inside everyone
Hey Yeah
Hope for the future inside everyone

Yo why take a trip when you can stay home
Why use a brush when you can use a comb
Why be blonde when you can be red
Why let the media get to your head
Why read the post when you can read the times
Why eat lemons when you can eat limes
Why take a break when you can go all night
Why make peace when you can have a fight
Why like girls when you can like guys
Why eat cake when you can eat pies
Why like ball when you can like bill
Why take a hike when you can take a pill
Why complain when you can just cope
Why have doubt when you can have hope

Hope for the future inside everyone
Hey
Hope for the future inside everyone

Hey Hope Hey Hope
Hope for the future inside everyone
Hey
Hope for the future inside everyone


8. Dirty Girl

It gets under my skin, deep in my bones I've got a tainted soul
I keep washin' my hands try to come clean
But the soaps like a brick of black coal
And I try, I try I try to be good and pretty
But a good girl is just something I wasn't meant to be
It ain't my fault that my soul was born dirty

I just can't help it, I'm just a dirty girl
I spent all my dirty money livin' in this dirty world

There's this black cloud that keeps on following me around
And the rain just keeps on comin' down oh Lord,
ya hear me, when I say that I just can't be no other way
And I try, so hard, I try to break free
But I hurt myself every single time
So I guess it's just a part of me
It ain't my fault that my soul was born dirty

I just can't help it I'm just a dirty girl
I spent all my dirty money livin' in this dirty world

La la da da da da da da da la da da da da da da da

I just can't help it
I'm just a dirty girl
I spent all my dirty money livin in this dirty world
I got two flat tires and I don't got a spare
I spent my last damn fifty-cent on second hand underwear
This life style is a hazard and I don't know what to do
But I'd rather be broke down fucked up and livin' in a pigsty
Than givin' in and runnin' back to you

I just can't help it I'm just a dirty girl
I spent all my dirty money livin' in this dirty world


9. On Our Way

Is it over now? If it's safe to come out
From behind these walls we've built
With bitter words and silence
We'll be on our way

I will break mine down and I'll climb over yours
We'll embrace each other once again just like we used to
And we'll be on our way
Believe in me, Like I believe in me
Believe in me like I believe in you
And we'll be on our way

So if it's over now, then it's just beginning
Possibilities are endless constellations and galaxies
Instead of chasing shadows we can chase the sun
Instead of breaking promises we can break these patterns
On our way
We'll be on our way

10. Rebound

I'm gonna wash his scent right out of my skin
I'm gonna drown his words right out of my head
Take me to a safety zone where I can't do myself no harm

Take me to a safety zone where I can't do myself no harm

Can you take me there?
I ain't goin' nowhere
I ain't got no plans
I ain't got no man

I'm gonna take his love right out of my heart
Gonna break that spell he cast upon me
All I need is a safety zone where I can't do myself no harm

Can you take me there, I ain't going nowhere
I ain't got no plans, I ain't got no man
I ain't go no man


11. Help the residents


Somebody teach this man to talk before he speaks
somebody tell this man to think before he talks
somebody reach this man and slap his hand with some piece of mind

You can put two ass's in the nation
just ask the nation

or you can help the president, help the residents

Somebody give this man a proper English course
somebody give this man a lasso and a horse
somebody tell this man he stutters when he blinks

you can put two asses in the nation
just ask the nation

or you can help the president, help the residents
this is a new day
this is a new way
Tuesday knows
and Tuesday grows
call all your brothers
call all your mothers
call everyone
and tell them that you love 'em
this is a new day...yes


The consumer world, is so accustomed with the SEX SELLS myth, but the truth is, Michael Jackson sells. And he IS scandal. We created this monster and we are killing him, and in return he is feeding our hunger for scandal, and all things perverse and unusual. He is quite a phenomenon, I would do my dissertation on him, and publish it. Get a doctorate in Pop Culture. Call me Dr. Popportunist.

"As seen on Larry King, Winner of the Nobel Peace prize for Dummies, also the Pulitzer prize For the Rest of Us, please a warm welcome for Dr. Popportunist. (Applause) Now...Dr. Pop, you are promoting your next book, "How to Ruin Your Career in an Instant, Gain Weight." Tell us a little about this book. Because, quite frankly, ha ha ha, I am a little concerned, ha ha ha, I packed on a couple over the holidays, heh hee hee.

"Well Johnny, you are unimportant, you are a pop icon, but not a sex symbol, you make us, we the people, laugh and forget our insecurities, therefore, you evade the archetypal expectation. For example, If Britney Spears were to put on weight as she matures, which is all very natural, the media would devour her. Our superstars are like our Gods and Goddesses, they must exude the ideal image. They must reflect all things we wish we had, but don't. Men prefer blondes, Americans prefer blondes. Do you remember that phase when Britney died her hair brown....that almost ended her career." (audience laughs) "Ha ha ha...We'll be right back...."
