lyrics

I've made it clear that I am not here
I just stick it out 'cos it's easier than trying
I cannot cope with so little hope
I just stick around 'cos it's easier than dying
I've made it clear
that I am not here anymore

I've made my case for running in place
history repeats 'cos it's easier than learning
I have been told that I'm growing cold
I may freeze to death 'cos it's easier than burning
I've made it clear
that I am not here anymore

I've made it plain that I am insane
I just keep it hid so I need not admit it
I've had to know how far I can go
I just wear a mask so I won't get committed
I've made it clear
that I am not here anymore

GET RUDE!
by Dan O'Connell & The Cast Of 1,000s

Dan O'Connell is an old friend and long time collaborator, but before I'd even met "Danimal", he was recording some parody, novelty and good ol' pop songs all on his lonesome. Rubberstamp Records

Songs From Your Face
by Jeffy

Jeffy makes four-trackin' fun. Each cassette he sells has a one-of-a-kind collage for art. Rubberstamp Records
