Track Name: The Pitch
don't give up
you are almost there
from my chair it's looking good
you can do anything that you
get your mind made up to do

so just keep struggling
with the jobs you're juggling
someone's bound to give you a break
and there's so much more that you can take

brother, it's cool
i'm not attacking you
and nobody's trying to call you a fool
i'm just trying to make nice
with some friendly advice
and some knowledge that i picked up at school

don't give up
it just wouldn't be fair
to the kids in your neighborhood
everyone has some burdens to bear
you would share them if you knew that you could

it must be harrowing
your prospects are narrowing
better get your ass in a pew

get your shit together
if you want to live forever
there's still time for me to show you the truth
brother, here is what is in it for you
Track Name: Defending The Paint
i heard it was you
those guys don't know
just how thorough a plan can be
but now they're working for me

i heard it was you
those guys can't see
how lucky they are and how hungry they'd be
if it wasn't for me

don't call if you need money
don't call if you want advice

i heard it was you
but i knew for sure
when you knocked on my door
with the curve of your cane
and started naming some names

i heard it went down
just like we planned
rocked it man to man
and we defended the paint

don't call if you need money
don't call if you want advice
don't make me say it twice

don't call if you need money
don't call if you want advice
i'm getting down to business
don't make me say it twice

don't call if you need money
don't call if you want advice
don't make me say it twice
Track Name: Brand New Name
you were a victim of common sense
i was a crack in the concave lens
and when you opened your mouth
it was always in self-defense

we could have been at the top of our game
could have come up with a brand new name
but we ran out of grass
and bacardi just ain't the same

hey, it's probably better this way
it saves me the trouble to say
what i really want to say

no, your wife doesn't have a clue
because she's never been introduced
to the degenerate fake
i used to mistake for you

you know it isn't a real big deal
i guess i'll never know how you feel
cuz when you open up your mouth
nothing comes out

hey, it's probably better this way
it saves me the trouble to say
what i really want to say
Track Name: Don't Sweat It
put it up to your lips
even though you know it won't fly
gave it up for a week or two
but you really had to try

now you're fixing to burn every bridge
the weather leaves alone
won't give it up for a spear in your side
don't sweat it man, don't sweat it
we can walk home

and i'm sure there's an explanation
some past loss or resignation
that ain't gonna fly when you're twenty-five

got a job at the corner store
so you don't look like a jerk
pretty psyched, you can sleep in late
and you can walk to work

now you're fixing the flat on the front
of the car that your folks own
won't give it up for a starving child
don't sweat it man, don't sweat it
we can walk home

what you gonna do when it dawns on you?

i don't know where you get your information
but i'm still waiting for an explanation
that ain't gonna fly when your thirty-five
asking for an application

what you gonna do when it dawns on you?
Track Name: Broken Truces
gonna put down the pen
and pick up rye and ice and coca-cola
wait, i changed my mind again
waiter, wrap this up
i think i'll take it home

are you sure that everything is all right?
do you think you need somebody to drive home tonight?

gonna lay down the law
i made up every violation on the
books are for hypocrites
looking for excuses for all their
broken truces

are you sure that everything is all right?
do you think you need somebody to drive home tonight?
