Humans Are Useless 03:05
lyrics
buy track
We've been fighting in the long war I've long forgotten what we're fighting for So I came home, now I'm home Lay down your arms in our creaking house I'm coiled up and I'm ready to pounce But you were just a mouse And there she was, what can I say I know the cost but I'll pay anyway Just for a moment We're just humans and we are useless Across the trenches, and down my sights There's her burning hair and the whites of her eyes Over and over Five years of firing guns On both our sides we were the lying ones Where'd they send me? Is something wrong? There's no issue Because I couldn't touch her, I kissed you Gently, so tenderly Just a lie that tells the truth

The Least Common Letter 02:30
lyrics

The least common letter I cannot find you, cam't distinguish I been searching high and low How we professionals get our kicks Which of us is better than Passing notes thinking like gods Getting drunk on holy water I keep it up all for a nod And it's all in your hand And you swear and you stand And you fly and you plan Tryna talk as a man Well look at him, look at you Do you know what to do? Must find, must find, must find The least common letter My hands are shaking, so weak A dozen four and score hours Of bare skin and no sleep For forty days and forty nights I've Only changed my clothes twice I bleed 'em down like parasites yeah Just the kinda sheep we like And it's all in your hand And you swear and you stand And you fly and you plan Tryna talk as a man Well look at him, look at you Do you know what to do? Must find, must find, must find The least common letter Need something, need something The least common letter Need something, need something The least common letter Need something, need something Need something, need something now

Jesus (the Carpenter) 03:41
lyrics

I've got a beard and long hair A couple hammers and some nails If you can pay for the work done Or do me a favor, I'll do you one Don't ask for miracles Cause I haven't got any Now that's the spirit girl Forget about prophecy I'm not that Jesus I'm just a carpenter I'm not your savior I just fashion wood Now just cause we got the same name Doesn't mean I play his game You know can depend on me For billable hours only So don't take communion Just talk to my union And whether it's hands off or hands on Two legs at a time I put my pants on I'm not that Jesus I'm just a carpenter I'm not your savior I just fashion wood I just fashion wood My mother's a liar my father's weak My lady love's a dirty freak Their love was wrong, our is unclean We're just not the kind to be redeemed I'm good at this one thing It's better than some things I wanna live irresponsibly God bless mediocrity I'm not that Jesus I'm just a carpenter I'm not your savior I just fashion wood I just fashion wood I'm not that Jesus I'm just a carpenter I'm not your savior I just fashion wood I just fashion wood I just fashion wood I just fashion wood

Paint yourself Stuff your face finest fineries It goes straight through me Fill er up with pills Turn the mirrors off Turn on every TV It goes straight through me Don't get bored Too many words Not enough noise Not enough noise It goes straight through me
