Make Your Mama Proud

Fastball Make Your Mama Proud歌詞
1.Altamont

Altamont, now, won't be the same
When we see each other again
If it all falls apart, who is to blame?

Don't you think it's time to get real?
I want to scream out the way i feel
I'm so tired of watching you bail..

Chorus
Hey, don't try to tell me it's okay
Don't turn me off and walk away
You've gotta say it's straight

Close the door,
But it won't go away
Tell me that it's at your control
I'm not waiting for you anymore

Chorus

Altamont, i'm on your side
Believe it or not i'm on your side
It's so hard to be your friend sometimes

Chorus

You'd better say it's straight....


2.Are You Ready For The Fallout?

I was wondering how you're feeling
I thought i saw you kneeling
And holding your gut last night
It looked like you were praying
But i heard someone saying
You had been in an awful fight
You get the worst of it everytime
Lashing out with no reason or rhyme
To lose all this rage, at so tender an age
Little baby growing up in a rat cage

Chorus 1:
Are you ready for the fallout?
Who you gonna call out?
When does it finally come to blows?
I think that you're forgetting
The blood that you'll be letting
Has a price on it, no one knows
You may be suffering in your sleep
You may be getting in too deep
And you may not care for advice that i share
In one ear and out the other

Chorus 2:
Soon you will learn how to swallow a tear
So when you're old you can cry in your beer
Do you spit at the face staring back in the mirror?
Do you have any self respect?

Chorus 2

Well what the hell did you expect?

Chorus 1

Are you ready for the fallout?
Who you gonna call out?


3.Back Door

Brown skin in the kitchen,
China white washrag and the dollars,
On the table keep it quiet, quiet

Chorus

They come and go through the back door
Who's keepin' score who's keepin' ...
Pension, weren't no mention,
Medicaid? sorry, and the g-men,
Got the word in gettin' wise, goodnight

Chorus

Pistol blew the whistle on the plan, mexican
And the river made of dollars made of sand

Chorus


4.Boomerang

Amy's going out with john
Now she's dating paul
Paul was dating kelsey
And kelsey used to go out with me
After i broke up with amy

Everybody's had, everybody's had everybody
Everybody's had, everybody's had everybody once or twice

Hey, you better watch what you say
People love to talk, people love to gossip
Everbody's going around
It's a hungry town, it's a leaky faucet

Everybody knows, everybody's heard what you said
Everybody knows, everybody's heard what you said
Everybody knows, everybody's heard what you said
Everybody knows, everybody's heard what you said

It's a boomerang


5.Eater

Watch me, make you
Let me, take you
Follow down, i will penetrate you baby
Run you to the ground
I will make you hate you baby

I'm an eater, i'm an eater, i'm an eater

Your cheeks are red and rosy
I'll keep you safe and sound
I'll keep you warm and cozy
Fatten you up to wolf you down

Your cheeks are red and rosy (watch me)
I'll keep you safe and sound (make you)
I'll keep you warm and cozy (let me)
Fatten you up to wolf you down (take you)

I'm an eater, i'm an eater, i'm an eater

And there's one thing that i know is true
I'll just make a meal of you
I'll leave the bones and hair to rot
I don't really care alot

Follow down (watch me)
I will penetrate you baby (make you)
Run you into the ground (let me)
I will make you hate you baby

I'm an eater, i'm an eater, i'm an eater


6.Emily

Emily shrugs and drags her heels as she takes the guided tour
It seemed like such an amazing deal
When she was looking at the brochure

Stuck on a bus with strangers
Wishing she could be ay home
With me poor little emily
How does it feel to be free?

Lyin' in bed
The pain in my head
From running around all day
Tryin' to find what was rightfully mine
But i ran out of things to say

Runnin' around with strangers
Wishing she could run away with me..
Poor little emily,
How does it feel to be free

From familiar fingertips
To a persecuted grip?
From the pan into the fire
Now a thread becomes a wire
Under which you must crawl
Through a ditch and over the wall

Emily works her fingers
Right down to her aching bones
While my aching head's got me stuck
In bed working on being alone

Working around the clock
Wishing she had worked it out with me
Poor little emily
How does it feel to be free?
Poor little emily
How does it feel to be free?
Poor little emily
How does it feel to be free?


7.Human Torch

Turned 'round 6 o'clock and i'm still sleepin'
I don't have to work on saturday
But i do anyway
'round the corner right on up to the shop
I come creeping, but it don't matter anyway

Chorus:
'cause i know it's just as well
And even so i feel like hell
You can say that it's alright
But i am wrapped up tight
And i can see the forest through the trees
I am on my knees
I don't know if i am supposed to stay
Or i'm supposed to leave it all behind

The door the world outside still spins
Waiting there behind the door but i won't let it in
Not today, not tomorrow, not next week
You're just gonna have to pay five bucks to see the geek

Chorus

Please pay your attention high above the center ring
Up in the rafters, 500 feet above the crowd
My hair is soaked in kerosene
My clothes are wet with gasoline
You only get to see this once
The human torch is going down
Going down, going down, going down


8.Knock It Down

Gonna steal your soul
By remote control
We smell and audience
We smell money

I don't need a gun
I own the network, son
And they love baywatch
In istanbul yeah

Chorus
Knock it down, knock it down, knock it down, knock it down yeah
Knock it down, knock it down, knock it down, knock it down yeah

Forget your culture
Forget your language
I'll give you virtual reality love oh!

Chorus 3 times


9.Lender

Peel me off a fiver
That stack looks pretty thick
Money takes some time to make
We spend it all too quick
And i'll try to remember
That this is just a lender

Chorus
Till i'm on my feet back
In the car
I won't forget who my friends are
You were always there
When i needed you
I can be there, too

Loan me fifteen dollars
My wallet's gettin' thin
My rent is due
And i know that you have recently come in
To a large amount of money
Hey man, can you make that 20?

Chorus

Hey haven't you heard,
Didn't you know?
I cleaned up six weeks ago
I'm on the straight and narrow track
And i can't pay you back..

Chorus

Oh, hey how ya doin'?
No, i did not forget
I promised i would pay you back
But i ain't got it yet
And you don't have to sweat it,
I'll call you when i get it

When i'm on my feet back
In the car i won't forget who my friends are
I'm on the straight and narrow track
I'll remember to pay you back
You were always there when i needed you
I can be there, too


10.Make Your Mama Proud

now you're pushing 31, duty calls you come and run
Instead of
Now you're pushing 31, duty call you come and run

When will this be over, when will you be done
Instead of
When will this be over, when will you be gone

Be a man, try to be tough
Or
I'll be your man, try to be tough
Instead of
I'll be your man child to be tough

Give me twenty minutes in between
Instead of
Giving twenty minutes in between

(not sure about this one at all)
You can kill yourself, or you can make your mama proud
Instead of
You can be yourself, well you can make your mama proud


11.Nothing

Well they've been writing your name on a bathroom wall
But it don't mean nothing, it don't mean nothing
They wanna ruin your life, they wann see you take a fall
But it don't mean nothing, it don't mean nothing at all

Chorus:
Stupid people say stupid things
And it'll drive you right up the wall
Sometimes i feel the same way too
But it don't mean nothing at all

You're mom and dad don't care about the way you feel
And you just can't take it, you just can't take it
You got the short end of a shitty deal
Just can't take it, you just can't take it no more

Chorus

They put alot of effort into making you feel like a clown
You gave it your best shot and they shot you down

Stupid people say stupid things
And it'll drive you right up the fucking wall
Sometimes i feel the same way too
But it don't mean nothing at all
Well it don't mean nothing at all
It just don't mean nothing at all
Well it don't mean nothing at all


12.Seattle

Ridin' round and round
In my car i can't afford to go very far
It needs a new transmission and new brakes

Parking tickets
I cannot pay
They're gonna have to tow me away
Tow me away
'cause i can't afford to drive

Chorus
We're outta groceries again
Ain't got no money to spend
The credit card is maxed out
So let's get high
'cause it's raining all the time
And the rain's been seeping through my mind
But i get by

I've got a nasty rash on my rocker
I can't afford to go see the doctor
I know i'll be all right in a couple of weeks

Happy hour,
That's where we're meeting
Eat for free as long as you're drinking
Hey that ain't no problem
For you and me

Chorus 2 times

Yeah i'm all right it's all right


13.She Comes Round

First verse:
She, she belongs to me
But she doesn't know it
She comes walking down the street
She don't notice me

Chorus:
And she comes round
She know how to turn me inside out
Inside out, upside down
She's got the bomb

I'm twisted metal tongue
When i get around you
I stutter incomplete
I can't keep a beat

Chorus

She comes round my door
She gets me everytime
She doesn't even notice me
When she goes walking by

Repeat first verse

Chorus

Repeat chorus


14.Telephone Calls

Telephone calls
Apartment a is at it again
Paper thin walls
She's been sleeping around with other men
And other women
But right about now her head is swimming
He's breakin' up the furniture
Screamin' and a yellin'
About to beat the hell outta her

Chorus 1
Television ringin' in my ear
I've been thinkin'
Haven't had a break in 20 years
I've been drinkin'

Telephone calls
Insanity is just another ring away
I get the paper
Take a look at it every single day
Another episode
Another life flushed down the camode(spelling?)
We're all carrying such a heavy load
I get no slack
It's breakin' my back

Chorus 2
Television ringin' in my ear, i've been drinkin'
Haven't had a break in 20 years
I've been thinkin' get me out of here..
'til the coast is clear

Television ringin'in my ear, i've been thinkin'
Haven't had a break in 20 years
I keep drinkin' television ringin' in my ear,
I keep drinkin' liquor, wine, and beer
I've been thinkin'
Get me out of here
I've been thinkin'..
