Thanks for listening!
From TSH debut album "Noise Annoys"
I Lost My Humanity
I'm just a cog in the multi-national corporation.
I'm a victim of workplace dehumanization.
I'm stomping on your face to move up the company ladder.
Even your lunch isn't safe in the refrigerator.
I lost my humanity. I lost my humanity.
I lost my humanity. I lost my humanity.
I'm expendable. I'm replaceable.
I'm expendable. I'm replaceable.
I refuse to communicate on a personal level.
Competition is a system of elimination.
I'm taking credit for what I didn't produce
And sabotaging your project to ensure my standing.
I lost my humanity. I lost my humanity.
I lost my humanity. I lost my humanity.
I'm expendable. I'm replaceable.
I'm expendable. I'm replaceable.
I lost my humanity. I lost my humanity.
I lost my humanity. I lost my humanity.
Blind In Baghdad
Blind in Baghdad
You banged the drums of war so hard that you drowned out all debate.
You flattened any official whose message didn't correlate.
When the battlefield was clear you claimed that there would be parades.
They're tossing bombs not flowers, now- how can you be that all surprised?
There were generals who foresaw that extra soldiers would be needed
To restore the order- bring stability to the vacuum.
You were warned but did not heed- now we're losing life and limb.
Can you be that out of touch? Your moral certainty is scary.
Why am I being so cynical now
When everything's coming up roses again?
Blind in Baghdad
You ignored 1000 years of history and culture.
Democracy is a foreign concept in a land that's ruled by tribes.
Terrorists have a foothold now where they once were never welcome.
More Iraqis join the fray, suspicious of U.S. intentions.
Would there be a rush to war if politicians had to serve
Or if someone close as kin were required to fight their war?
Is our country truly safer with our fighting forces stretched?
Is it worth the price we'll pay, fighting for a cause that's failed?
Why am I being so cynical now
When everything's coming up roses again?
Blind in Baghdad
Radio Personality
Everybody's telling me that they want to be on TV
Or maybe be a radio personality.
You can obscure the truth, sidestep the facts, and fill the airwaves with emotional bluster.
If all else fails you can smear somebody's character.
Everybody's telling me that they want to be on TV
Or maybe be a radio personality.
You can distract the public from civil discourse, any objective analysis.
It's another victory for partisan politics.
If the truth should come to light, you wouldn't need to backtrack
Because you're an entertainer beholden to noone.
You could bash an Ivy education and not flinch
Because the rules of logic and reason wouldn't count for you.
Everybody's telling me that she's so madly in love with me
But she'd love me better if she could hear me on the radio.
You could rally your following, spew demeaning bile and invective.
If you throw enough crap something's bound to stick.
If the truth should come to light, you wouldn't need to backtrack
Because you're an entertainer beholden to nothin'.
You could bash an Ivy education and not flinch
Because the rules of logic and reason would not count for you.
Everybody's Born To Die!
We're all covered with
Disgusting bumps and warts.
We're all full of worms and vacationing germs,
And things I don't want to discuss.
You can see it on the Cat-scan, baby,
But there's a price you'll pay!
Obsession with your body
Only brings the truth to light!
Everybody's born to die!
Everybody's born to die!
If you look close enough, you're bound to find some abnormality!
White scum coats my neurons.
We're all going insane!
Bacteria creep. Infections seep.
Cells die and aren't replaced.
Well, that's a sobering thought.
I think I need another beer.
My life's already screwed up.
I don't need a second opinion.
I'm a scientist, baby.
I don't need a closer look.
Obsession with your body
Only brings the truth to light!
Everybody's born to die!
Everybody's born to die!
If you look close enough, you're bound to find some abnormality!
You'll discover exotic diseases
To keep the doctors busy.
You'll be stuck with the panic.
You'll be probed. You'll be pricked.
Then they'll stick you with the bill
After that cyst turns out benign.
Sometimes it's better not to know
Than to live in paranoia!
Everybody's born to die!
Everybody's born to die!
If you look close enough, you're bound to find some abnormality!
In-Between
I don't want to be here! I don't want to be there!
I just want to be In-between.
I don't want to pick teams! I'm not on your side!
I just want to sit on the fence.
You want me to be another loyal lamb in your mindless flock.
You avoid the details! You cherry-pick the facts!
Your opinion has lost its validity.
Yeah, I see the black! Yeah, I see the white!
But sometimes I see the shades of grey.
You want me to be another loyal lamb in your mindless flock.
You measure each decision
By its political weight
The fabric of this nation
Is a patchwork quilt
That consists of a myriad of cultures/values.
Your arrogance is telling.
You won't browbeat me into submission.
Eat your propaganda, I'll think for myself!
You want me to be another loyal lamb in your mindless flock.
I don't want to be here! I don't want to be there!
I just want to be In-between.
L! O! V! E!
Oh, my love for you is true, truer than the blue of the Arctic Ocean!
I've chartered a rocket ship to Saturn, and I'll be bringing back the biggest ring for you!
L! O! V! E!
Love, that spells love. Love, that spells love.
That spells love. That spells love.
That spells love. That spells love.
My heart does the dipsy-doodle. It spits and sputters with each goodnight kiss!
My friends wonder where I've been. I've been taking ballroom dance classes with you!
L! O! V! E!
Love, that spells love. Love, that spells love.
That spells love. That spells love.
That spells love. That spells love.
I'm at home cleaning up and preparing a 5-course meal for you!
I want to lick you from head to toe. That's how much that I love you so!
L! O! V! E!
Love, that spells love. Love, that spells love.
That spells love. That spells love.
That spells love. That spells love.
Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love!
Everybody Needs Somebody
Everybody needs somebody. Everybody needs somebody. Everybody needs somebody, now.
Even Frankenstein needs a bride!
Even King Kong needs a voluptuous babe!
Zombies need to eat four square meals a night!
Vampires need your positive A blood type!
Everybody needs somebody. Everybody needs somebody. Everybody needs somebody, now.
Wouldn't it have been a better story if the Mummy slipped away,
And fell in love with a woman in critical care who was bandaged from head to toe?
Everybody needs somebody. Everybody needs somebody. Everybody needs somebody, now.
Even Frankenstein needs a bride!
Even King Kong needs a voluptuous babe!
Vampires need your positive A blood type!
The Creature from the Black Lagoon had a thing for the shapely scientist!
Wouldn't have been a better story if the Wicked Witch of the West
Flew into town and started to flirt with a member of the Lollipop Guild?
Everybody needs somebody. Everybody needs somebody. Everybody needs somebody, now.
I feel so sorry for Godzilla.
He never got to the chance to fall in love.
The Wolfman never got to fall in love.
The Mummy never got the chance to fall in love.
Everybody needs somebody. Everybody needs somebody. Everybody needs somebody, now.
Noise Annoys
Noise annoys! Noise annoys! Noise annoys! Noise annoys!
I'm in a yellow jacket swarm of noise.
It's so painful that I've lost my poise.
All I need is a holiday.
I've booked a flight to Uruguay!
Noise annoys! Noise annoys! Noise annoys! Noise annoys!
The neighbors' squabbling, the old woman's squawking,
Someone stop that poodles endless barking!
The walls are crackling like cellophane.
Even the ants have joined the refrain.
Noise annoys! Noise annoys! Noise annoys! Noise annoys!
A teen's drum kit, a basketball pounds.
I'm starting to hear high pitched sounds.
The bass thump of the passing cars,
I'm hearing radio waves from Mars!
Noise annoys! Noise annoys! Noise annoys! Noise annoys!
The doctor says to give my ears a rest,
But there's a bird singing in his nest!
All I need is a holiday.
I've booked a flight to Uruguay!
Noise annoys! Noise annoys! Noise annoys! Noise annoys!

Happy Halloween!
It's Halloween. It's quite the scene.
Ghosts and goblins come out to play.
A wicked witch cackles
At the skeleton in shackles!
Don't come out to play.
Don't come out to play.
It's Halloween. It's quite the scene.
Mad pumpkins glare. Little children beware.
Avoid the corn fields.
Every scarecrow knows.
Don't come out to play.
Don't come out to play.
Happy, happy, happy, Halloween!
Happy, happy, happy, Halloween!
It's Halloween. There's a frowning full moon.
The wind is whistling a spooky tune.
Black cats howl
Because ghouls are on the prowl.
Don't come out to play.
Don't come out to play.
It's Halloween. It's getting obscene.
Bats swoop down at the oddball clown
Who vanishes down your street.
Hear the faint pitt-patter of feet.
Don't come out to play.
Don't come out to play.
Happy, happy, happy, Halloween!
Happy, happy, happy, Halloween!
The vacant house groans. A gloomy ghost moans.
If you're quiet as a gnome, it won't follow you home.
Is a trick or treat
Worth turning white as a sheet?
Don't come out to play.
Don't come out to play.
Happy, happy, happy, Halloween!
Happy, happy, happy, Halloween!
Daniel Johnston Says
There's a devil on every corner
In a machine that's filled with carbonated soda.
The devil's on your lips and he's in your mouth.
He'll make you say some really stupid stuff.
Didn't your mother tell you never to play with matches?
Do you want to go through life with singed eyebrows?
Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew!
Don't go drinking with devil.
He'll take your quarters and he'll steal your sleep.
Didn't your mother tell you to stay away from that evil green juice?
Those beastly little bubbles will make you do some really strange stuff.
Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew!
Daniel Johnston says that it's the devil's brew,
But it's too late- I'm so infected.
I'm talking in burps but no one thinks that it's funny any more.
But I'm still giggling 'cause that demon juice tickles my innards!
Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew, Mountain Dew!
