Don't Smile

To be an monkey dressed as something
My money goes towards something
To be in these days, oh so risque
Thanks lovely for the troubling
Hey what you're teaching is a lesson I wrote
You're so invisible in your new cloak
I want your body and I feel like it's close
You're so invisible in your new cloak
To be an monkey dressed as something
My money goes towards something
To be a disc jock, such a hot top
My money goes towards something
Hey what you're teaching is a lesson I wrote
You're so invisible in your new cloak
They caught you driving with your license revoked
You're such an influence – shame that you smoke
This time is a terrible to be an monkey dressed as something
Don't smile when they're patting you down, OK?

Oh Me Oh My

Oh me oh my
Someone can't decide
You get it right, it'll all be yours tonight
Pull me away from a certain danger
Don't wanna be on my own
Make me a wager and I will take it
Don't ever want to be alone
Oh me oh my
Honor roll is tough
What's good enough? Cause that's how it's showing up
Take me from danger and obligation
Don't wanna be on my own
Make me a wager and I will take it
Don't ever want to be alone
Oh me oh my
Someone can't decide
You get it right, it'll all be yours tonight
Pull me away from a certain danger
Don't wanna be on my own
Make me a wager and I will take it
Don't ever want to be alone

Can't Be Beat

Broken animals get carried away
Every day at the Kentucky Derby
I'm a young buck, head full of nicotine
You're a young dove perched from the mezzanine
My religion prevents this from happening
Truthfully it's been a while since I'm practicing
We're a long shot waiting to happen
Though a quarter in the fountain never drowns
I can't be beat
I can't be beat
I'm in your heart, I can't be beat
Don't look away
Don't look away
I'm in your heart, I'm here to stay
My uncle, quite the comedian
Couple beers and he can't keep his tongue in
Your sister, such a diplomat
Changes the channel at the start of the newscast
We're a long shot waiting to happen
A quarter in the fountain at the Westchester Hampton Inn
My religion prevents this from happening
But dear God up above
I can't be beat
I can't be beat
I'm in your heart, I can't be beat
Don't look away
Don't look away
I'm in your heart, I'm here to stay
I can't be beat
They're gonna want to destroy
They're gonna want it undone
They're gonna want to run me through the mud
But fuck what you've heard
Fuck what you've heard
That's somebody else, those aren't my words
I can't be beat

Who picks up this tragic line?
Who is your leader, your constellation?
Who is your jailhouse? You have one call
I wanna be your fortune teller, telling you what fucking ever
With no friction till the end
No friction till the end
No friction till the end
No friction
ABCDEF Jesus
Heal the blind, show them Vegas
What are your hangups? Your hesitations?
Who is your jailhouse? You have one call
With no friction till the end
No friction till the end
No friction till the end
No friction
No friction once again
No friction till the end
No friction till the end
No friction
Can I get you on my line?
What's your number? So is mine!

Idiot Vid

I'm not the kid in the idiot vid
Don't freak at the sound of my voice
I'll be your captive through the end
And that's a world class initiative
I can tell by the guts that you give
You'll be my captive through the end
Cause there ain't no rock like a Billy Graham Bible
Baby take me down to the point of revival
Ain't no rock like a Billy Graham Bible
Baby take me down to the point of revival
Point of revival, that's the point of the Bible
I'm not the boy with the nuclear toys
Don't freak out at the sight of my face
I'll be your captive through the end
Subplot just stole the show
Understudy in the starring role
I'll be your captive through the end
Through the end
Cause there ain't no rock like a Billy Graham Bible
Baby take me down to the point of revival
Ain't no rock like a Billy Graham Bible
Baby take me down to the point of revival
Point of revival, that's the point of the Bible
