Fresh Batch of Lyrics for Eating

Today I finished lyrically fiddling with five, count em five, new songs, so I though that I should get some input. They are organized by the two punk songs, the two stoner-ish songs, and the one White Stripes inspired song.

Enjoy your feast.

Punk songs

Categorize

(A Song about people labelling stuff. Inspired by high school. Heavy Sex Pistols/Buzzcocks influence. Enough said.)

(Chorus)

Let's just, put ourselves into boxes

Back ourselves in a corner we can never get out

Not accepting, tolerating

Alienation is what its about

(Verses)

Look at that girl over there

Look at what she has on to wear

She has all the fancy clothes I see

She's just a prep she must not care

Look at that kid in the skinny jeans

He looks like a wanna be punk rocker to me

Let's go over and tease him

Even if it's only to please them

Look at the boy with the saggy pants

The on with the macrame and beanie hats

Maybe he's the one who smokes the weed

After he's done snowboarding

Some times I think we all need our boxes

Put us in our places, make us think like them

Individuality is the enemy

We cannot just all be friends

Fired Up

(A song about being angry at everyone)

(Chorus)

I say crank it up

You say play it low

I'm not gonna listen to you

nobody runs my show

I say crank it up

You say play it low

you want me to slow down

I just want to go

(Verses)

You just crossed my line

Now I'm gonna go and blow your mind

You may think that I've got blind

It quite the opposite you will find

I'm ready to tumble and I want you to know

That I'm pissed and I'm ripped and its gonna show

I am not under your control

Soon my top is gonna blow

I'll bite you, if you're in my way

Cause I'm pissed, somebodies got to pay

It's gonna happen here and today

So why don't you just run away

You are mad and I am too

I can't breathe I'm turnin' blue

You're the old, I'm the new

What do you expect me to do?

(Bridge)

I'm fired up, fired up

I'm outta control

I'm fired up, fired,

ya gotta know

I'm fired up, fired up,

It's been a bad day

I'm fired up, fired up,

you are in my way

White Stripes Inspired

Something Wicked

(A song based on a line from shakespeare. Heavily spanish guitar sounding riff. Short and garagey, kinda like expecting, and I think I smell a rat.)

One day, I was walking down the street

And something dark struck out at me

I don't remember what i saw

But it's never really gone

Don't you think it fit

That we are meeting here again

Though it was more blue

Now we are standing in the rain

You can't realize me

I may have changed

It's hard to stay the same

With all the hate and pain

By the prickling of my thumbs

Something wicked this way comes

Something wicked this way comes

And it won't be any fun

Something wicked this way comes

And it won't be any fun

Something Wicked this way comes

hurry now you'd better run

It's not coming for me

It's not coming for me

It's not coming for me

It's coming for you

It's not coming for me

It's not coming for me

It's not coming for me

It's coming for you

By the prickling of my thumbs

Something wicked this way comes

By the prickling of my thumbs

Something wicked this way comes

Stoner-ish songs

Tea

(Inspired by the Year Long Disaster song, Mad shrew. Heavily Zepp riff. Somewhat Sleep-ish too.)

Tea

(Chorus)

Come drink the tea

You can be free

Come drink the tea

Be just like me

"

Take away the pain

"

forget your name

"

Said the hare

"

you won't care

"

play our game

"

you fade away

(Verse)

The mouse sleeps on the table

Feeling quite content

Little does he know

How it really Went

Let's dirty up the dishes

We'll waste all your time

We can keep on talking

Till you lose your mind

You can say things backwards

Say it forward too

We may ask the riddles

the answers up to you

Footsteps

(An absolutely non-sensical song. It's what I imagine stoners would dream about. Anyway, that's the impression I get from sleep. I was going for the lyrically sparse, nearly instrumental sleep thing, with no chorus/verse/bridge thing.)

As I walk through the forest of the night

Feel the darkness creep up behind

Reptilian soldiers in spite attack me

I can feel them bite and I start to bleed

Trapped in the arms of an infinite expanse of trees

I can't see the sky, I can't feel the breeze

Fear creeps in my mind like howling wolves

And I discover I am not alone

Giant red dragon descends from the moon

I see the giant form begin to move

Flames purge the earth of all impurities

I feel flames begin to envelope me

Descending beneath the center of the moon

Feeling the weight of the cosmos crush you

Dark eye finds me inside the moon

As the universe begins anew

Thanks for any comments you may have.

Well, The first two i think with a bit of work could be not bad. But all your songs have some very forced rhyming,

just sounds a bit depserate to just use one example. Its something i do too, but a find half rhymes work good if you can find something to fit exactly, or keep reworking sentences till they flow better....
