Chimney Sweeper Man
Shadow Person
[VERSE 1]
Chimney sweeper man, Chimney sweeper man
Ill-equipped again, not equipped again
Feeling bad again, oh, so bad again
You feel bad
[CHORUS]
Up on the roof again
Can’t look out, must look in
Chimney soot buried you
Clean it out and you might come through
[VERSE 2]
Dust it off again
Shake it off again
Makes you sad again
Oh, so sad again
Yeah
[CHORUS]
Climb down that hole again
Can’t get out, must get in
Chimney soot buried you
Clean it out you might come through
[VERSE 3]
Chimney Sweeper man, Chimney sweeper man
Feeling clean again, shiny clean again
Don’t let it build up, the ash won’t build up
It’s clean
[CHORUS]
Up on the roof again
Can’t look out, must look in
Chimney soot buried you
Clean it out and you might come through

It's a bad time for you
Shadow Person
#VERSE
Hey, hey, what do ya say?
I'm just done fucking around
I'm all out of fucks to give
I might put you in the ground
#VERSE
He, hey, get outta the way
Crawl back into your cage
The bell rings, the tower falls
Tear off another page
#PRE-CHORUS
And when the crowd come in to town
And gathers in the square
Your face gets flushed with all your blood
Your lips will gasp for air
#CHORUS
We all want the same thing
You can't have your king
Climb down to the ground
Just don't make a sound
It's hard times, it's hard times
Hard times, it's hard times
It's hard times, it's hard times
A bad time for you
#VERSE
Hey, hey, time to pay
Close out the dinner tab
Throw the wine in your face
Damn, don't you look bad
#VERSE
Hey, hey, get out of my face
Knocked over all of the chairs
The people look over at you
I smile as I watch them stare
#PRE-CHORUS
And when the crowd come in to town
And gathers in the square
Your face gets flushed with all your blood
Your lips gasp out for air
#CHORUS
We all want the same thing
You can't have your king
Climb down to the ground
Just don't make a sound
It's hard times, it's hard times
Hard times, it's hard times
It's hard times, it's hard times
It's a bad time for you
#BRIDGE
It's a bad time to be a fool
A fool
It's a bad time to be a fool
To be a fool
It's a real bad time to be a fool
Don't be a fool
#VERSE
Oh no, you did it now
Your head rolled down the stairs
The blood dropped, the people yelled
The tyranny is now theirs
#PRE-CHORUS
And when the crowd come in to town
And gathers in the square
Your face gets flushed with all your blood
Your lips will gasp for air
#CHORUS
We all want the same thing
You can't have your king
Climb down now, to the ground
Just don't make a sound
It's hard times, it's hard times
Hard times, it's hard times
It's hard times, it's hard times
It's a bad time for you
#OUTRO
It's a bad time to be a fool
It's a bad time for you

Piss In Boots
Shadow Person
#VERSE
When it started off, the vibe was great
Enjoying all the things that were on our plate
But then it went bad
It went wrong
I was thrilled to win, I had done my best
A blue ribbon worn proudly on my chest
But then it went bad
It went wrong
#CHORUS
You’re the cloud on a shiny, happy day
But I won’t let your gloom lead the way
#VERSE
When I got school, you started up a fight
Made me hit my friend and that wasn’t right
You were jealous
You were wrong
And I got in trouble cuz I threw that punch
And I let you hear it when we got to lunch
You were the bully
All along
#CHORUS
You’re the cloud on a shiny, happy day
But I won’t let your doom lead my way
#VERSE
You had to go and rain on my parade
In fact, you rained on a whole decade
And that’s why
We’re all done here
And now you try to keep your claws sunk into me
Trying to carve out all of my dignity
I’ll say goodbye
I’m out of here
#CHORUS
You’re the cloud on a shiny, happy day
But I won’t let your gloom lead my way
You pissed in my boots but that’s all OK
Cuz I’ll pour it out on top of your grave

Double Click On That
Shadow Person
[verse]
Closing the loop on everything
Taking advantage of leveraging
Thinking outside the box again
Let's take this offline, it's a win-win
[chorus]
We'll double click on that
Double click on that
Let's double click
Let's double click on that
Double click on that
Double click
[verse]
Breaking down the silos
Teamwork makes the dreamwork go
Put it in the pipeline and call it a win
Low hanging fruit, my door is always open
[chorus]
Double click on that
Double click on that
Double click it
Quadruple click on that
We'll double click on that
[bridge]
(screams)
[verse]
It is what it is, literally
Value added, action-ably
Step up to the plate, put a pin in it
Picking your brain for a paradigm shift
[chorus]
We'll double click on that
We'll double click on that
Double click it
Double click on that
You'll double click on that
Double click it

Piggy's Lament
Shadow Person
#VERSE
There's a place where time flows like water
And the streams are clear and cold
The fog in the air hangs like velvet
And I swear, you never grow old
#PRE-CHORUS
You're running down the hall
You're checking all the doors
You're followed by the storm
It's melting on the floors
#CHORUS
You made it to the place
A clarity of space
A chance for an embrace
But only a taste
#VERSE
Constrictions of time, they hurt you
It's hard to breath through clenched teeth
You say it's too late to change things
So the anger will boil underneath
#PRE-CHORUS
You're running down the hall
You're checking all the doors
You're followed by the storm
It's melting on the floors
#CHORUS
You made it to the place
A clarity of space
A chance for an embrace
But only a taste
#PRE-CHORUS
You're running down the hall
You're checking all the doors
You're followed by the storm
It's melting on the floors
#CHORUS
You made it to the place
A clarity of space
A chance for an embrace
But only a taste
Don't let it go to waste
Save it just in case
Don't let it go to waste
To waste
Waste
Ah-ahhh

Finally Leaves My Head
Shadow Person
[VERSE 1]
Well I think I found the problem
The reason for this dread
Maybe I wasn't ready
I just want to get back in bed
And I don't like how it lingers
And it wakes me up at night
The path of least resistance
Just Leads to another fight
[CHORUS]
Can I take that anxious feeling
And make it go away?
Try to overcome its power
And get through another day
[Short Verse]
I can feel my veins all tighten
When I trap myself in doubt
I wanna scream out from the mountain
And find my own way out
[Chorus over Verse Chords]
[CHORUS]
Can I take that anxious feeling
And make it go away?
Try to overcome its power
And get through another day
[VERSE 2]
To explain it isn't easy
But I find I have to try
And find someone to listen
Who can help me to get by
And it often helps me realize
And overcome the dread
Remind myself of courage
The shit finally leaves my head
[Outro]
Leaves my head
The shit leaves out of my head
It finally leaves my head
The dread.

Crotch Rocket For Two
Shadow Person
#VERSE
Crotch rocket for two baby, gonna ride it to the zoo
Take up two fucking parking places
My crotch rocket for two
Owww
Owww
Owww
Can I fit a Trump sticker on it?
No? How about a flag
Riding for the patriots
Against the folks in drag
#CHORUS
Ride it proud, make it loud
It’s all I know how to do
Take my hand and hold on tight
My crotch rocket for two
Feel it purr between your legs
People watch us go by
My fat ass tires, my loud ass pipes
It’s no wonder why
#VERSE
Blaring out that Nickleback
For everyone else to hear
Helmets are for losers, honey
We have nothing to fear
#CHORUS
Ride it proud, make it loud
It’s all I know how to do
Take my hand and hold on tight
My crotch rocket for two
Feel it purr between your legs
People watch us go by
My fat ass tires, my loud ass pipes
It’s no wonder why
#BRIDGE
One two three four
#VERSE
Make sure people hear me coming
Your eardrums will throb
Hide the fact that I have no friends
I’m a total fucking knob
Fucking knob
#CHORUS
Feel it purr between your legs
People watch us go by
My fat ass tires, my loud ass pipes
It’s no wonder why
Ride it proud, make it loud
It’s all I know how to do
Take my hand and hold on tight
My crotch rocket for two

When Kings Become Ghosts
Shadow Person
[verse]
I'd like to tell you about the strangest secret in the world
I'd like to tell you about the strangest secret in the world
And every person who accepts this, for a while believes
We become what we think about
We become what we think about
We've created a world based on science and technology
And tend to forget that freedom and creativity
Represent the hope of the future
The strangest secret in the world
The strangest secret in the world
We become
What we think about
We become
What we think about
These conditions of humankind represent changing
Volatile rivers of being, flowing endlessly
Into the future
I'd like to tell you about the strangest secret in the world
And we will keep our sense of wonder alive
And we will keep our sense of wonder alive
Our creativity, our capacity to think in new directions
And we will keep our sense of wonder alive
Our creativity, our capacity to think in new directions

Smackeroo
Shadow Person
#INTRO
Yo, Kangol
Roxanne, Roxanne
#VERSE
It is so awful
That’s what you tell me
You will do little
That is what I see
Hoping to gather
All the sympathy
No will to fix it
Dwell in misery
#CHORUS
A think of something
Like that
Work something
Exact
Do something
About it
Do something
No shit
#VERSE
Put on your clown shoes
Slip on your red nose
That’s how it feels
When you perform your shows
You are the only
Player in the game
Oh, do you realize
How it is so lame?
#CHORUS
Think of something
Like that
Do something
Bout that
Work something
Exact
Do something
Tough shit
#CHORUS
Think of something
Like that
Work something
Exact
Do something
About it
Do something
Dumb shit
#VERSE
Woe is you
This isn’t on me
Work on your issues
Get up off your knees
You have to pull you
Out of all of this
It’s happened for years
Miss me with that shit
#CHORUS
Think of something
Like that
Work something
Exact
Do something
About it
Do something
No shit
