Tempest in a Dcup                                                                                                                                  (c) Mark Prey/Mike Gemelke                                                                                                                      Sitting by the dance floor Chilling with my best four
Gripping at the out-door, Jim 
Shifting toward my front legs Sifting through my trade mags
Grifting girls with bad begs, Jim                                                                                                              

Jumpin to his feet in a flash Jim’s about to meet his match
Headin to the floor in distress steady, Jim, its time to impress.
 
He say, ‘Hey” she say, “ what?” Jim’s got himself a Tempest in a Dcup.
He say, “hey, ‘sup?” She say, “nah?” Jim’s got himself a Tempest in a Dcup
.
 
Grinding on the hard wood swearing like on Deadwood
Timing it is bad now said, Jim shifting toward my front legs
Sifting through my trade mags timing it is bad now said, Jim

Jumpin to his feet in flash Jim’s about to meet his match
Headin to the floor in distress steady, Jim, its time to impress.
 
he say, ‘Hey” she say, “ what?” Jim’s got himself a Tempest in a Dcup.
 
He say, “hey, ‘sup?” She say, “nah?” Jim’s got himself a  Tempest in a Dcup.

I had a good job somebody spoiled it
I had a good job somebody spoiled it, I saw my business card floating in the toilet
that's my name there floating in the urinal
I had a good thing safe and secure and all It's floating away down the drain
In the parking lot my car's in flames, I'm feeling angry but there's no one to blame
you'll never find me hiding out in the back,  I gotta keep it low in case I'm attacked
Slippin away yeah yeah down the drain
Investors kinda blown away, precious money is circling the drain
running round don't know what to do, point the finger and blame the fool
slippin away yeah yeah down the drain
I had a good job somebody spoiled it

 SayingTheSameThing.mp3
Mark Prey/Todd Moyer (c) 2007
We used to believe we were a bit naive sustainable growth jobs will never leave
keep your head down serve the customer well next to the lake at the place we call hell
capitalist system and your day will come SEC wall street four times per annum
workers are looking and now it begins looking for justice and the payment for sins
inventory overhang wall street fear finally this is it now the day is here
I believe we're sayin the same thing
I believe we're sayin the same thing
opposites really have no meaning
truth is now fiction black is now white
past is the future and the day is now night
workers are looking and now it begins looking for justice and the payment for sins
inventory overhang wall street fear finally this is it now the day is here
chorus
hey mister analyst here's where your wrong missing the point and agreed all along
you say kick me out but here's what you mean execute vision make the company lean
chorus
we used to believe
"I think we're saying the same thing"
                                                                                                                                                                                     

 ArtisansMerchants.mp3                                                                                                                   Mark Prey/Todd Moyer (c)
There is trouble in the village the merchants want to pillage
the artisans they want to create
the struggle is eternal is it warlike or fraternal? who will get the credit for our town?
artisans and merchants two forever bound artisans and merchants struggling for our town
merchants their hands without callous do you not need our palace?
tell me where would you be without us? what would you do without us?
try to plan a cathedral grand without the help of my two hands
there is trouble in the village merchants want to pillage the artisans they want to create
Artisans and merchants struggling for our town
Fighting in the village merchants want to pillage artists create                                                                    Fighting is eternal warlike or eternal who will domiate?
