Lu Lu Louise - it must be getting old
Recklessly, relentlessly, repeatedly told
By well-meaning people
And everyone else
That everything's great
When it all feels so bad
It really is really as bad as you think
The punchline of a joke that everything stinks
We could both use a laugh
But I don't hear anyone
I don't hear anyone laughing
Lu Lu Louise
Lu Lu Louise
Can I give you something better?
Better than worse or whatever
Anything else would be better
Lu Lu Louise
A kid on a record said "My mind's disease"
His friends are all dead, he's still alive
I don't understand what it means
Can you try
Can you try to survive
Calories and feelings and ideas and wealth
Too much or too little's gonna damage your health
Please don't kill anyone
And don't kill yourself
Don't kill yourself for anyone else
Lu Lu Louise
Lu Lu Louise
Can I give you something better?
Better than worse or whatever
Anything else would be better

Do It Without Love

If you can do it
Without love
That would be fine
Because the work
Is stacking up
If you can turn it
On and off
Without crossing the line
If you can do it
Without love
That would be fine
We are running
Out of light
Stiff upper lip
Eyes front
In shape and on time
If you can do it
Without love
That would be fine
Your head and your heart
Are such a mess
I can accept you
As you are
Maybe half of the time
Not all of the time
If you can do it
Without love
That would be fine
If you can turn it
Off and on
Without crossing the line
For once in your life
That would be nice
That would be alright
If you can do it
Without love
That would be fine
Because the work
Is stacking up

Assembly man
Assembly woman
Put it together
Take it apart
Assembly woman
Assembly man
Put it together
Take it apart
Take it all apart
Take it all apart
Take it all apart
Take it all apart
Every brick and block
Every pipe and hose
Every wheel and belt
It's a grift and shame
That every worker knows
The winners are the same
Taking back to burn every card in every hand
In every game was ever dealt
Assembly man
Assembly woman
Put it together
Take it apart
I can't stand that you should have
What you want or what you need
Assembly woman
Assembly man
Put it together
Take it apart
Take it all apart
Take it all apart
Take it all apart
Take it all apart
