Less Than Jake Live From Uranus[Live]

1.Liquor Store

Now listen up and hear what i'm saying
If he's not talking to himself
Then he must be praying
Shine my shoes and ask for a dime
Then pick my pockets while i'm in line
He keeps telling me the score
Down at the liquor store


2.Time And A Half

It was a cold december on 2nd ave and 6th st.
Too cold to think about anybody passing me
When I overheard 'I'm gonna tell you straight from the
shoulder...
Boy... You better get running'

On the corner of 2nd and 6th and outta time,
With a cough, feeling lost and a bottle of cheap wine.
Just then I realized that I can't seem to understand
When I saw that guy heading for the dopeman.

It's just the same old story on the same old street
And it's just another worn down, worn out casualty
Of 2nd ave and 6th st.

On the corner of 2nd and 6th and feeling down
When I overheard 'I'm gonna take a gun and take you out'
Just then I realized that I can't seem to understand
How anyone can take the life of another man.

It's just the same old story on the same old street
And it's just another worn down, worn out casualty
Of 2nd ave and 6th st.


3.Econolodged

Step it up my life
spent round the clock
has got me running on a treadmill with no time to stop
and competition has put a price on time,
see all the people you left behind
and step on all the people that have fell behind,
competition has put a price on time.
Man,
I'm all I've got,
like it or not,
I'm all I've got.
I'm Econolodged.


4.Just Like Frank

He's just like anyone
he's just like anybody
he's just like Frank

and I know it
and he knows it
it's his one sided point of view

I know it when he says
it's my way, or the wrong way
and I don't care about you

but to see my side wouldn't be the worst thing he could do
when someone's politic blinds you
and binds you
to something you don't believe in
and he's just like anyone...
and I saw him walking on my way
path third street just the other day
why doesn't he understand views keep changing？


5.Automatic

I think I know it all,
but can I be sure of the things I've grown to know,
and can I say I know it all,
when rules just guide me to blindly follow
and things are automatic when you see them everyday
is it the same routine
or my fucked up dreams,
that keep me walking mindless all the way？
I think, I think I know it all
but is our beliefs just stringing us along
and was there something wrong in what I heard,
for every hour of the day？


6.Lockdown

Something's not right
Urban sprrawl, from urban blight
something's not right
when history turn into a building site
locked out, fenced up, closed down without a sound

Something's not right
when downtown is just all blinking lights
Something's not right
when strip malls and condos are at your every side


7.Never Going Back To New Jersey

There was a time when I could say it right to you
that I was never going to leave this place
but now its 'I was wrong'
and 'I don't wanna fucking talk about it'
cause it feels like things have changed
Yeah well I could talk, talk, talk
and say I'm wrong, wrong, wrong
but I feel I'm in a place I've never known
and it feels like there's something wrong,
something wrong, something wrong
and I know that I don't wanna know...
I'm never going back again
there was a time when I would say I must be crazy
that I would say this place is looking strange
but now its 'I'm kinda lost' and 'I just don't remember'
because things never stay the same...yeah, well I could talk,
talk...


8.How's My Driving Doug Hastings

Friday night on coke with a crow bar,
left at two in the back of Doug's car,
without a plan and being fucked up,
looking' to get something for ourselves.

Friday night at three at a side door,
Doug said try to get the door just once more

I said man this all fucked up
just looking to get something
something for ourselves
feeling kinda weird and thinkin' to myself
fuck doug
I'm not going out like this

he said man I'm all I got and I won't be missed
this makes no sense
it makes no sense to me
this isn't the way its supposed to be


9.Shindo

Something's out there
and it takes me away
from a world too small to stay

something's out there

Another day in this place so small,
I'd rather be somebody else

maybe if my mind wasn't so tall,
I wouldn't be able to tell

and I've walked these streets
it seems like 10 million times
and I've seen things up and leave
time after time
(and its just another day) in this place so small

I'd rather be somebody else
old habits die hard
