1. BLACK GOLD

Two boys on a playground
Trying to push each other down
See the crowd gather 'round
Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd

Black gold in a white plight
Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride
I don't care 'bout no wheelchair
I've got so much left to do with my life

Moving backwards through time
Never learn, never mind
That side's yours, this side's mine
Brother you ain't my kind

You're a black soldier, white fight
Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride
Sure'd like to feel some pride
But this place just makes me feel sad inside

Mother, do you know where your kids are tonight?

Keeps the kids of the streets
Gives them something to do, something to eat
This spot was a playground
This flat land used to be a town

Black gold in a white plight
Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride
Sure'd like to feel some pride
But this place just makes me feel sad inside

Black gold in a white plight
Won't you fill up the tank, let's go for a ride
I don't care 'bout no wheelchair
I've got so much left to do with my life

3. THE BREAK

Candy coated cannibalistic news flashed across the screen
Stay tuned we'll define what's wrong and what's right
What's obscure and what's obscene
And the fat cat laughs as you lose your last chance
As his pants split right down the seam
But if I ever get my break for God's sake
I'm gonna make my break clean

Yes I may be a dirty old man by the time
I can beat down this dirty old scene
But if I ever get my break
I'm gonna make my break clean

I've got bars on my windows and lines on my face
I can't compete in this race
I don't like it when she's on the street at night
She can barely go anyplace
And everybody wants control of her body,
And I'm hoping the choice might be me
If I ever get my break for God's sake,
I'm gonna make my break clean

If you ever give me a break
I'm gonna make my break clean

Shake me I've painted myself in the corner of an escape artist's dream
And you know I believe it cause I just can't leave it
I don't really know what it means
I may be buried alive or just left in the dirt
I'm fading as fast as my jeans
If I ever get my break for God's sake
I'm gonna make my break clean


4. 99%

I don't own you, but I know you're mine
Never disown you, never treat you unkind

Once in a while, you get on my nerves
Once in a while, you get what you deserve

I want you 99% of the time
99% of the time (×3)

If I asked you what's on your mind
Would you say me, would they be thoughts unkind?

Once in a while, I'm not myself
Once in a while, I think you're someone else

I want you 99% of the time
99% of the time (×3)

(Let's move in together, happily ever after
Let's move in together, happily ever after)

I can't touch you, 'cause you feel so fucking fine
Let's just stay like this, and waste some more time

Once in a while, you get in my way
Once in a while, you know I got to say

I love you 99% of the time
99% of the time (×8)
