Utah
Words by Jack McTamney
I learned she learned
How it feels to be burned
I know she knows
How cold the wind that blows
So right so wrong
So hard to say so long
It's true it's not
So few to have a lot
If I asked you to be my religion
Would it be too much for you
If I asked you to be my religion
Would you forgive the things I do
I feel she feels
Who knows what's really real
I fall she falls
Behind these lonely walls
Too soon too late
You can't anticipate
But now and then
You have to start over again
If I asked you to be my religion
Would you send me on my way
If I asked you to be my religion
Would you answer when I pray
I am she is
It's always hit or miss
I cry she cries
This never ever dies
I'm gone she's gone
This just goes on and on and on
I wait she wait
No matter how long it takes
If I asked you to be my religion
Would you send me straight to hell
If I asked you to be my religion
Would you love me for myself

One Chord Song
Words by Jack McTamney
I'm sick and tired of being lonely
My knees are shot from falling down
The sidewalk's giving way below me
I guess I'm going under ground
Everything
Means nothing
And I sing
Ah ... A one chord song
Ah ... A one chord song
I needed food you gave me hunger
I needed you and I got words
Where were you when I stormed the bunker
In a funkhole feeding birds
Everywhere
You're not there
Here's my prayer
Ah ... A one chord song
Ah ... A one chord song
Thoughts buzz by like mad mosquitos
Distracting me from the truth
And all my feelings have been vetoed
Yanked just like a rotten tooth
Am I clear
Are you near
Can you hear
Ah ... A one chord song
Ah ... A one chord song
Ah ...
