Politicians telling tall tales taller than tall Paul Bunyan
But nowadays I only ever get my news straight from the Onion
Buy yourself a cookie or else you're gonna cut the girl scouts fundin'
Hey, did you hear the news? Colourmusic's vinyl burned up in London
Trying to decide on my fate guess I'll just go flip a coin
Heads or tails, I'll just keep on walking through the Tenderloin
Click of a button and this song flies like magic crost the ocean
Materializes in your headphones, a teleporting motion
Everything going on at the same time,
something always leads to something,
bombs going boom boom, kids in the classroom
and everyone still bumping, bumping,
Babe, don't you be blue,
you know we're gonna pull this cart through.
If the whole wagon tips over, I won't pin it on you.
So join in the chorus, all chime in and sing a little song for us, for us, for us, for us!
Girl saw flashes on the screen, now I'm sure everyone has seen her
Just another witness in the case made against Anthony Weiner
Well, vote a good actor in for a leader and no one's the keener
He left with an hasta la vista baby off to see his housecleaner
Yea'll some so greedy, some so needy till the whole stock market crashes, Woody would tell ya (one reason I'm playing) this machine here kills fascists
So join in the chorus...
Everything going on at the same time

Rooms Of Me

Let us move on into my rooms
You're a decor I must explore
Now that I've got you here
I once want to see you whirl
Rooms of me
Rooms of me
Don't be adding water to the rain
Outdoors the majority is insane
Once let me take you in
I don't want to notify next of kin
Rooms of me
Rooms of me
I won't have to bid you'll see
You are only valuable and free
Our wallpaper won't be torn
by a monkey or a unicorn
Rooms of me
Rooms of me
Rooms of me
My rooms
Outside I heard one more pile-on fight
I shut my blinds, I turned off my light
At last I'm indifferent to
the goods of this world, they're gonna fake you cruel
You leave my rooms half-empty
you burn brighter than anybody
they are full of hopeless scorn
Return! On a whim, I'm born
Rooms of me
rooms of me
rooms of me
Our rooms

Already Alright

There's too many lines, too many lines, too many too many too many too many lines, I forget mine
So many lives, so many lives, so many so many so many so many lives
please forgive mine!
I want you bad, I want you bad, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you so bad
that's been said
We were good friends, we were good friends, we were we were we were we were good friends
How could it end?
Don't you worry about me, I'll be fine
all by myself, all by myself
All by myself
I will miss you still
Oh, you know that I will
And there's too many lines, too many lines
I can't remember mine
Too many duels, too many duels
fought by intelligent fools
So many rules, so many rules, so many so many so many too many rules
It's easy to slip up
so many tools, so many tools, so many so many so many too many tools
it's easy to give up
live it up
Don't you worry about me, I'll be fine
all by myself, all by myself
All by myself
I will miss you still
Oh you know what I will
And there's too many lines, too many lines
I can't remember mine
oh there you are, there you are
I have to remind
you that you're on my mind, you are on my mind
pretty much all of the time
Oh, here we are, here we are
yeah, we're doing alright
We're alright, we're alright
Already alright
we are all ready, alright, already alright
Already alright

Energy's All Around Us
03:42

You're my love
but I need something more
Yeah, I need to sing it true
and not be like such a chore
when I'm wheeling low and poor
and it feels like I can't stand one more
day, when I'm feeling poor
You're my friend, too,
but I never see your face
when we're stuck inside
an isolated place
and I can't seem to face time
when I'm, when I'm feeling poor
Energy is all around me, too
Yeah, I've heard some rumors about you, too
Oh, well, turn it on, turn it on, turn it off
turn it on, turn it on
Energy is all around me, too
Yeah, I've heard some rumors about me, too
Ah well, turn it on, turn it on, turn it off,
turn it on, turn it on!
You're my friend, too
But I never see your face
No, I never see your face
You know I want to see your face!
Why can't I see your face?
Why?

Go to sleep and I start to dream
thinking about all the crazy things I thought that I've seen
I could sleep easy if I were in jail
like Robert Johnson got the hellhounds on my trail
Around every corner, I'm trying to lose them
But round my skull the spooky blues swim
I can hear it breathing in my ear in my house
I think I'm learning what it feels to feel like Faust
the devil wants my soul and I'm trying to lose him
but round my skull the spooky blues swim
Go to sleep and I...
No matter how much you might get bored
Don't you ever go fooling with a Ouija board
You'll stay up all night just a-waitin'
and it's hard to sleep when you're levitation'
I can hear the voice of Wes Craven
like Edgar Allan Poe I think I might be raven
til dawn with monsters I'm creating'
it's so hard to sleep when you're levitation'
Go to sleep and then I start to dream
it becomes clear
it's not a dream but a nightmare
Go to sleep and I start to scream
thinking about all the crazy things I thought that I've seen
Go to sleep and I start to dream
thinking about all the crazy things I thought that I've seen

The Gardes
The Gardes originated as an alternative sort of rock band from Ponca City, OK and then morphed into an unpredictable genre- defying avatar of art rock and roll, popping up in various incarnations all around the place. To follow their story, follow them on Instagram: @thegardesofficial ... more
