On The Outside

Heart of stone
Head a broken home
On the outside, honey
You’re on your own
Skin and bones
Body aching
Keeping on the outside
The man says “move along”
Some that glitters is gold
The kind you hold
On the inside
Honey you’re bought and sold
Done trying to win
Ain’t buying in
I’m outside looking in
Got to play the dice you rolled
Or so I’m told
On the outside
You best brave the cold
Done trying to win
Ain’t buying in
I’m outside looking in
Here I go again
I’ve always been
On the outside looking in
Long time gone
But I keep on going
On the downside
I’m on the run
Far beyond
Somewhere I alone belong
The bright side, honey
It won’t be long
Here I go again
I’ve always been
On the outside looking in

Generals

Got to keep marching on
Like General Washington
Or the winter gets you
‘Fore the war’s done won
Gotta keep it rolling on
Like old Napoleon
Even when you’re lost and
All your plans proved wrong
Fortune favors the bold
You’re worth your weight in gold
If you can keep it burning
When the wind turns cold
Gotta cross the Rubicon
You, me and everyone
If we’re gonna get to Xanadu
Like Kublai Khan
Like Attila, King of Huns
We can’t fear anyone
Alexander Macedon
Was great cause he was strong
Fortune favors the bold
You’re worth your weight in gold
If you can keep it turning
When the rest all fold
“Nothing is impossible”
Said General Hannibal
If we’re gonna stand up
To the might of Rome
Life is short, ephemeral
Can’t fear your funeral
Either way you’re gonna end up
Far from home
Fortune favors the bold
You’re worth your weight in gold
If you can keep on earning
When the world gets sold

Paper Crown

I’ve been waiting for my latest enemy
And I’ve been trying to find myself
Some type of remedy
All I really need is someone to believe
But there ain’t no one here but me
Cause it’s a Paper Crown
Take it down
Trying to shake you down
Break it down
Paper Crown
Tailor-made to push you around
Paper Crown
Take it down
Break it down
I been shaking on them gates so I can leave
And I’ve been lying to try and hide
From my identity
But paper crowns can tear
They’re only make-believe
The King is dead to me
I sing his eulogy
Cause it’s a Paper Crown
Take it down
Trying to shake you down
Break it down
Paper Crown
Tailor-made to push you around
Paper Crown
Take it down
Break it down
I been acting like my own worst enemy
And I’m in need of some relief
Paper crown
Take it down
Break it down
