 LONELINESS BOREDOM AND SUGAR

MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS THROUGH THE ROOF

AIN'T NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR THE TRUTH

I SCREAM AND I HOLLER AT THE SCREEN

NOBODY CARES WHERE I BEEN AND WHAT I'VE SEEN

WHERE IS THAT HANDBASKET, I YELL

THE WHOLE DAMN PLACE IS GOING TO HELL

LONELINESS BOREDOM AND SUGAR

I GOT THE FEATHERS TIME TO GET THE TAR

FAKE SHOOTINGS FAKE PEOPLE FAKE DEATHS

ALCOHOL FENTANYL COCAINE AND METH

ADDICTED TO THE INTERNET IS WORST

HEAD OF MUSH, YOUR CELL PHONE COMES FIRST

LONELINESS BOREDOM AND SUGAR

IS KILLING THE MOST BY FAR

SOON THE CELLPHONES WILL BE EXPLODING

WITH NO FINGERS THE GUNS WON'T BE LOADING

ROUNDED UP THEY KNOW WHERE YOU ARE

IN THE BACK CORNER OF A CROWDED BOXCAR

MY LONELINESS BOREDOM AND SUGAR

SEES LUCIFER AND HIS FALLEN STARS

I'M NOT LOOKING FOR TROUBLE

I'M NOT LOOKING FOR TROUBLE

TROUBLE FINDS ME

I SAID THAT DREADED NAME

YOU KNOW, THE GUY THAT YOU HATE

NOW IT SEEMS I'M ONE OF THEM

FOREVER IS MY FATE

I'LL NEVER SAY ANOTHER WORD

GOODBYE, IT'S GETTING LATE

I AGREED WITH HIM IS ALL I SAID

YOU TOOK IT LIKE A BULLET TO THE HEAD

CALLED ME A NAME

SAID I SHOULD BE ASHAMED

I STILL AGREED AND REFERENCED A BOOK I READ

I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS A NAZI

AND A HOMOPHOBE, AND OMG, A RACIST

UNTIL THIS SHORT TALK WAS OVER

GET AN ARGUEMENT, I SAY, MAKE IT PLAIN AS DAY

IT WON'T HAPPEN WITH YOU TODAY

OH YEAH, I FORGOT,  I'M A FASCIST!

CYNICAL MARTY

Escaped Wage Slave: Wesley Lives!!!

CYNICAL MARTY - written by Beach John

MARTIN WAS BORN WITH A SHRUG AND A SMIRK

DRIFTED THROUGH TEXAS, DID ODDBALL WORK

DAKOTAS TO JERSEY, THEN BACK TO THE BAY

GOES BY "WESLEY" WHEN HE SINGS ON THURSDAY

HE'LL TELL YOU THE WORLD HAS GONE STRAIGHT TO HELL

WHILE THE GIRL WITH THE SEPTUM RINGS HIM UP AT SHELL

SAYS, "NOBODY LISTENS, THEY JUST SCROLL AND ZONE."

BUT HE HUMS SPRINGSTEEN WHEN HE'S WALKING HOME

> OH CYNICAL MARTY

BUT NOT REALLY

HE TALKS REAL TOUGH BUT HIS GRIN COMES FREELY

HE'LL ROAST YOUR DREAMS WITH A SIP OF BEER

THEN WRITE THEM DOWN WHEN NO ONE'S NEAR

CYNICAL MARTY

CLAIMS 'ROMANCE DIED IN '92"

BUT THE SAVED THE NAPKIN SHE WROTE ON, TOO

SAYS, "THEY'RE ALL ZOMBIES, JUST SCREEN-DEEP SOULS"

WHILE HE CARRIES A NOTEBOOK WITH GRAPHITE GOALS

MOCKS YOUR LATTE, CALLS IT A SIN

THEN ASKS IF IT'S VEGAN AND SIPS AGAIN

> YEAH, CYNICAL MARTY

BUT NOT REALLY

HE'LL CUSS THE CLOUDS BUT CHASE THEM CLEARLY

GOT OLD SUNBURNS AND HALF-HEALED GRACE

SWEARS HE'S NUMB BUT SHOWS HIS FACE

CYNICAL MARTY,

BUT NOT REALLY

(Bridge) (soft and slow)

WHEN THE CROWD THINS OUT AND THE MICS GO DARK

HE'LL PLAY ONE SLOW WITH A FLICKER OF SPARK

EYES LIKE EMBERS IN A DRIFTWOOD NIGHTS

YOU CAN HEAR THE HOPE HE'S TRYING TO FIGHT.

> SO HERE'S TO MARTY

CYNICAL? NOT REALLY

HE'LL TELL YOU IT'S POINTLESS, THEN SIT THERE SWEETLY

SAYS, "LIFE'S A RACKET", BUT DON'T BE FOOLED

HE'S STILL IN THE GAME, STILL BREAKING RULES

CYNICAL MARTY

YEAH, CYNICAL MARTY

BUT NOT REALLY

NOT REALLY

*********************************

Song Review:  I really don't like this song.  I'm not questioning John's intentions, only commenting on it's a perfect example of someone who will not accept me as I am and has simply no argument about what we have talked about on the bench at the beach a couple of times.  Another example of talking freely with someone and having it thrown back in my face.  Honestly, John is a good guy.  I'm not so angry at him.  He thinks it complimentary. He is the one person who said they would come see me play music and did.  I am grateful for his review: " thank you for entertaining me."

The process is to blame, also.

John wrote this with 'the help' of AI.  Swears ownership of this song.  Put some words into a program and it spit this drek out. 

EYES LIKE EMBERS IN A DRIFTWOOD NIGHTS - what the hell is that?  Bob Dylan dartboard lyric.

I am cynical.  The world has gone to hell, pal. Why am I fighting hope? The one thing left in Pandora's box.  I got better things to do.  

Listen the first time.

I'll sing this at the Songwriter's Workshop in September, never again.

TOUGHEN UP II

 

TOUGHEN UP

RAISE YOUR HAND UP HIGH

WHEN YOU FEEL ALL ALONE

PLACE IT ON YOUR BACK

REDISCOVER YOUR BACKBONE

TOUGHEN UP TOUGHEN UP

WHEN YOU GET DOWN

SAT ON BY A TEN TON CLOWN

NO SMILES ONLY FROWNS

BE THE TOUGHEST MAN IN TOWN

TOUGHEN UP TOUGHEN UP

PUT THAT BULLY IN HER PLACE

INVADE HER SPACE

GET UP IN HER FACE

BE WARY OF THE MACE

TOUGHEN UP TOUGHEN UP

ANOTHER BAD DAY AT WORK

WHEN YOU ARE WORKING WITH A JERK

IT'S HE GO OR I GO

DON'T BE AFRAID TO HIT THE ROAD

TOUGHEN UP TOUGHEN UP

AIN'T NO ONE GOING TO FIGHT YOUR FIGHT

IF YOU WANT TO SLEEP THRU THE NIGHT

LOOK INSIDE, NOT ABOVE

CAUSE YOU GOTTA FIGHT BACK WITH LOVE

THE BASTARDS WILL GRIND YOU DOWN

IN ANGER YOU WILL BE DROWNED

FLOATING ON THE STORMS OF LIFE

TAKES SOME HONESTY AND INNER STRIFE

IF YOU WANT SOME INNER PEACE

YOU WILL HAVE TO LEARN TO LET IT BE

TOUGHEN UP TOUGHEN UP

MAKE YOUR BODY STRONGER

INTEND ON LIVING LONGER

EAT AND THINK WELL AS YOU GO

BECAUSE YOU REAP JUST WHAT YOU SOW

HATEFUL EYES

HATEFUL EYES IS ALL I SEE

THERE WILL BE NO LOVE FOR ME

THE MUSIC IS TOO LOUD

THIS IS NOT MY CROWD

POPULAR CULTURE ISN'T FOR ME

HATEFUL EYES IS ALL I SEE

I DON'T SAY MUCH THESE DAYS

WISDOM SEEMS TO MAKE THEM CRAZED

MY WORDS ARE FLUNG BACK IN MY FACE

I'M AT THE END I'VE RUN MY RACE

I DON'T FIT IN AND IT'S MEANT TO BE

HATEFUL EYES IS ALL I SEE

A GIANT SHAME GAME IS IN PLAY

IT WON'T WORK ON ME I SAY

I LIKE MYSELF MISTAKES AND ALL

I ONLY ANSWERED THE SIREN'S CALL

DASHED ON THE ROCKS I WILL BE

IT'S HATEFUL EYES IS ALL I SEE

YOUR DIGITAL DUNGEON HAS ONLY BROUGHT FEARS

AFRAID YOU SHOULD BE, BUT NOT FROM ME

NO RUN. NO HIDE. NO ONE TO LEAN ON.

NOWHERE ELSE TO GO AND MAD DOG CAN WAIT

ACROSS THE RUBICON IN DOUBLE TIME

SOON ENOUGH IS MY FATE

MAKE MY HANDS DRIVE THAT NAIL

MAKE MY BACK LIFT THAT STONE

MAKE MY FEET WALK THE DISTANCE

MAKE MY EYES TO SEE THE TRUTH

I'LL THINK LIKE A BALL

OR EVEN A PYRAMID INSIDE MY BOX

THOUGHTFULLY I WILL CREATE

MY BRAIN BOX WILL ROT WITH ALL THE REST

WHAT MY BODY HAS MADE WILL REMAIN
