Once Upon a Time – We Mattered
Every Day
It seems like they’re playing
Games with your mind
Feeling the pain of the Times
Got no doubt it’s a sign
Openly Blind
No more time but just time
Do something
Every Way
It seems like we’re doing
Nothing with our time
Just standing in a line
Got no doubt it’s a sign
Openly Blind
No more time just this time
We gotta do something
Peoples got the power
But the powers got the people
So we don’t really know what to do
The people’s with the power
Got the power over peoples
And they know just what they do
Just what they do
Every Day
It seems like they’re playing
Games with your mind
Feeling pain all the time
Got no doubt it’s a sign
Open your mind
No more time in your time
You gotta choose something
Once Upon a time
We all cared
Once Upon a time
We Mattered
Once Upon a time
We all shared
Once Upon a time
We Mattered
Once Upon a time
We all cared
Once Upon a time
We Mattered

Cool like David Suzuki
I wanna be cool like David Suzuki
I wanna be hip to the ways of the World
Living in Space and Time
That Universe shall be mine
I wanna be cool like David
I wanna be cool
Like a Scientist
I wanna know lots of stuff
That’s actually not just made up
I wanna be cool like David Suzuki
I wanna be hip to the ways of the World
Living in Space and Time
That Universe shall be mine
I wanna be cool like David
I wanna be educated
Learn about the world
It’s gonna be all facts and figures
With arguments strongly delivered
Always keeping an open mind
I wanna be cool like David Suzuki
I wanna be hip to the ways of the World
Living in Space and Time
That Universe shall be mine
I wanna be cool like David
I wanna be cool
Like a Scientist
I wanna know lots of stuff
That’s actually not just made up
I wanna be cool like David Suzuki
I wanna be hip to the ways of the World
Living in Space and Time
That Universe shall be mine
I wanna be cool like David
That’s Dr Suzuki to you
If you don’t mind

Girlfriend
Have you ever wondered
Whether something that felt good was right
Or something that felt wrong was good
Or bad
Or indifferent
Even just the once
I had a girlfriend and her name was
Goodbye
She never said why
I had a girlfriend and her name was
Obscene
She was always too mean
We really did not go
I had a girlfriend and her name was
Au Revoir
We never went far
Things were always out of place
Why must I always be the bad guy
And why can’t I be good
Tell him why
Sometimes
It’s just right is wrong and wrong is right
And there’s no way of knowing
Which one is right or wrong
Until the time has passed and then it’s too late
Or is it
Perhaps
I had a girlfriend and her name was
Get Lost
She never did defrost
I had a girlfriend and her name was
No Way
She always had her say
I have a girlfriend and her name is
Amazing
We always share that thing
We always share that thing
That thing
You know that thing
That thing
You know that thing
That thing

You Still Look So Beautiful
Hey there dear gorgeous
I just wanted to let you know that I feel this way
For you are the reason why
The sun pops out on a cloudy day
You are the reason why
The rain does fall when I’m feeling blue
And you are the reason why
I wrote this song that I’ll sing for you
You are you
Are the reason why
You are you
Hey there dear gorgeous
I just wanted to say every single day
That you are a star to me
You shine so bright on the darkest night
You mean so much to me
That my heart skips a beat every time we meet
And you are the closest thing
That I’ll ever have so I’d better sing
You are you
Are the reason why
You are you
Hey there dear gorgeous
I just wanted to say that I’m glad I know you
You’re down to earth and you’re funny too
You’re so beautiful
So
You still look so beautiful
You still look so beautiful
You still look so beautiful today

Unnatural Selection
Well, how many fucking trees will we take from the ground?
How many fucking stars crash and burn?
How many fucking diseases chase us around?
How many fucking beliefs take us down?
How many fucking people must we wage war on?
How many hearts are aching 'cause this shits gone wrong?
Nature killing nature
The human condition
How many fucking trees will we burn to the ground?
How many fucking stars crash through town?
How many fucking diseases chase us around?
Nature killing nature
Am I free in this cage?
Called the human condition
The human condit…
How many fucking beliefs take us down?
How many fucking people must we wage war on?
How many hearts are aching 'cause this shits gone wrong?
Nature killing nature
The human condition
I'm on my fucking knees
In this human condition
Nature killing nature
The human condition
I'm on my fucking knees

Sexy Ted
Sexy Ted
He’s gonna get you into bed
Sexy Ted
He’s gonna get you into bed
There is this guy whose modus operandi
Is finding the women whose guys are on standby
He shows them some care, a little love and affection
Slowly but surely he gains their attention
Sexy Ted
He’s gonna get you into bed
When he spies his target he sidles up fast
Making your relationship a thing of the past
He’s like a pornographic image from the pages of a book
Just like a magazine subscription one look and she’s hooked
Sexy Ted
He’s gonna get you into bed
He’s always got some time he’s never hurrying past
He’s effervescent, luminescent, he’s a blast
While stuffs going on and you’re not paying attention
He’s a double barreled carburetor flushed with affection
Typically he’ll stop if you notice she’s missing
But usually you’re busy golfing and fishing
Accelerating faster he’s got no regard
Now that woman of yours she is in his car
Now it’s too late
Now it’s too late
Now it’s too late
Now it’s too late
He’s got a million girlfriends he’s sex implicit
Got a tattooed body with a ten inch digit
All the women love him and want to bed him
He only has to ask and they do his bidding
Got a bad boy image yet he’s a romantic painter
He’ll sleep with you once then says “catch ya later”
Ooh yeah
Sexy Ted
He’s gonna get you into bed
Well it’s too late for regrets she’s in his bed
He’s showing her the game “Have you met Ted?”
Now you probably think this story’s suspicious
This guy can’t exist he’s too fictitious
Sexy Ted
He’s gonna get you in his bed
Well I’m telling you that he certainly can
He’s in your house he’s the modern man
He’ll do your lady, then he’ll do your daughter
All I’m trying to do is to try and warn ya
So you’d better treat your woman a little better
Cos he’s out there and ready to come and get her
So you’d better treat your woman a little better
Cos he’s out there and ready to come and get her
So you’d better treat your woman a little better
Cos he’s out there and ready to come and get her
Oooh Yeah
