Give Up 03:10
Nice work, you finished last Good job, your time has passed All you want has been denied You lost, but at least you tried Give up before you get locked in Give up you're the reverse of win Big sigh, you've been passed by Know why? We hate your lie Sad tears fall in your beer Too bad, you had four years Give up before you get locked in Give up you're the reverse of win For a rival you were such a cunt Only a loser would try that stunt The game is over, you still want to punt You think you're clever, you're a little runt

I wash the grounds out of the sink I didn't want to have to think but now I have no choice it's all I voiced so long ago - it's come to pass just the way I said you're in the red without a name you were the best but that all slipped away with the arrest Sliding quicker future tricker Freeway liquor outcome dicker You had a case of Anchor Steam, a fifth of Jack and then you took a drive more like a dive out past your hood where you were thrown face down on the cured and cold cement now stained with blood can't see the kid who dared to cross your path and paid the price with their own life you don't believe it's been a huge mistake you're such a flake

Pour It Down 03:45
Before you leap have a glass (pour it down) Forgot to tell you about the past (pour it down) I wasn't there when you were down (pour it down) You probl'ey thought I was a clown (pour it down) It's been so long since I've been out Feels like I am losing clout Stuck inside a cloudy beer Hasty knuckles break your mirror Pour it down the drain I know it's all a fucking pain You think it's fun but it's so lame What once was wild is now so tame Can I say that you were crass (pour it down) Without offending your stubborn ass (pour it down) What you're planning isn't wise (pour it down) I can tell you know it's in your eyes (pour it down)

Well, here come the fools who dance around and act like buffoons. I'm sick of it. Why can't you all see we're so damn tired of your hypocrisy? Climb the wall you curse these halls Filthy mob you lost your balls Take the fall for your St. Paul Southern drawl you lost this brawl So, they got away. You couldn't tie them up today. They saved their fate. Now yours is in doubt. You tried your best, your luck ran out. Take the fall for your St. Paul Southern drawl you lost this brawl Climb the wall you curse these halls Filthy mob you lost your balls Now, we've come to the end. Your mission failed. They apprehend your sorry ass. A federal crime and all you got was a shitload of time behind bars

Vicious 03:44
Full of tears or full of smiles I can't tell you, hun Apart from how this year has gone It could be either one The best of times, the worst of times and sometimes in between The circle is a vicious one but you know about the scene As we approach the end of this It's with some sure relief We cannot live amid this pain this hubris and this grief The joy that comes is relieving Even if it's brief So try to abide, enjoy the ride Time's an evil thief

Where are the instruments? Where are the musicians? It's cold, the night is clear. I only see Christmas lights. The stars they all shine so bright but there's no people here. Where have they gone? The bells have not been rung. No feast is on. Carols have not been sung. The silent night too quiet. The stockings hung. An empty sight without the ones you love. I see the Christmas trees Santas, nativities, and all the candy canes. But where are the families? No parked cars or rapidly opened electric trains
7.
It's not about all the weed Be strong in this your hour of need I know you want someone so bad Love what you have always had Connections are so unique You've got to tread so lightly You're wound so tightly, now Just be yourself and do your best to finish with some dignity It's not about your call for speed That's natural you've just been freed I worry though about your plans Your future's all within your grasp

New Morning 03:42
Crack of dawn The night's breaking Been so long The world's waking New morning Filled with promise Reckoning of the MAGAs Wrap your mind with sunshine Flowers in the field Wake the world with sunlight Not your time to yield Out of bed The world's waiting Time to shred Imitating You can do what you try to Focus through your new hairdo

ANUSTART 04:29
If you wanted to know I'm feeling fantastic With a banjo on my knee and a song in my heart Should be working though, but my time is so plastic With some liberty I have a brand new start In my heart A new start Did you smell that flower or did you rush past it? Did you take some time for you or did you shelf your desires? In this hopeless hour can you move past it? Is this kind of thinking new, does it stoke all your fires? In your heart A new start Arrested, wee Britannic maiden Arrested in your thirsty heart Did I drive you away with my bad acting? Did I seed your mind with doubt, did I jump the shark? It was meant this way without redacting Light treason without being left in the dark In my heart A new start

Coming Home 04:19
It's been a long time but we're here A new direction Shed some tears Not of sadness but of joy All the bad days unemployed Only one way that is up Overflowing buttercup The world is watching a friendly face Miraculous but commonplace The work is calling to be done It's time for action Put down the gun Coming home

Staring at the moon tonight Standing in the glow Shadows fall upon the night Bluish hues of ghosts I wanted you to make it through It was not to be I hope that you will see that you mean so much to me and this family Across the void it was so still Vacuums of nothing Despite my lack I hope you will Hold some faith for me I wanted you to make it through It was not to be I hope that you will see that you mean so much to me and this family But now you're free

about

This album is the culmination of an experiment in writing and recording songs as they come without overdubs or excessive takes. In each case, the songs were recorded less than a half hour after they were created, sometimes on the first take. Thus, mistakes are assured in every song, but that's nothing new for fans of Jackass Penguins. The songs are a reflection of the times in which they were recorded, some of the toughest times in memory. Hopefully they provide some comfort to you in this desperate time.
