The Real All Around You
©1999 shockorama music pub. / music & lyrics by Bob Schneider

The say the end of the world is coming but I know it ain't
Cause I got plans and I ain't gonna break em  ah ah there ain't no fuckin way
Gonna do what I want and gonna do it each and everyday
Ain't nobody but myself is ever gonna get in the way
I ain't gonna spend it like the hermit maybe like the holy Dahlia Lama
Maybe I can kick it baby in your  sticky Shockorama
Maybe I can make a cake of angel wings and such
Maybe I can reach inside of everyone and feel the touch
Of god on windows of the soul and fill your wishes up with love
And watch the heavens push and shove  the rain on down from up above
And maybe with my very eyes live to see this paradise 
the earth became a little place with no need for petty lies
To see the real all around you if its really real at all

You've got walls to build and plans to make and hearts to bend and backs to break
Maybe you should take that time just to shake yourself awake
What you do is your  decision I know it feels like a roll of the dice
But its already happened a million times already or maybe only twice
And find your love kitten baby you're just  a crazy child of god
And I will roll you in the butter and I will ball you in the monkey hall
And I will love in the forever and I will make you needle spin
Upon the record of creation and then you can begin
To see the really around you if its really real at all

If the real all around you isn't real at all
You might as well  just have some fun or take a shower in the hall
Or you can suffer all you wanna gonna wanna have to know
Why you worry so much when it get you no good where at all
Why you work so hard to matter when you're wasting all your time
I know I do it everyday  I always think I’m doing fine
And I’m the momo I’m the gamma I’m the chilly in Savannah
You’re the cookie in the shower with your unlimited power
Run run little rabbit cause you know that in the end
You'll be right back where you started yeah and start you shall again
To see the real all around you if its really real at all

Frankenstein knew what he wanted just wanted someone to hold
I am the dog that bites the leg of human kind its getting old
The drugs the wine the dark encounters and the tangled sun at night
The itchy sweaters in the winter when your boots where on too tight
The avocado in the dressing and the glass of lemonade 
That every daughter gives her daddy when she's ready to get laid
The slowly dying everyday until you’re to damn scared to move
The hope in every little thing that sounds like maybe you'd improve
And then the return to the darkness and the womb and then the light
And then you still don't have an answer and then you slowly start to fight
To see the real around you if its really real at all

Can you see the real all around you its right there everyday
All this  living that your doing keeps  on getting in the way
All this fighting to get to the next step baby's making you blind
You do what you want but me I’m leaving all this ah bullshit behind
Its love love baby that what I want I want that love from down below
The love from  loving everybody that I love that makes the river flow
The love that makes the mountains tremble makes the universe unwind
Makes the world go round in circles makes us leave our cares behind
The love that's locked in everybody and every thing under the stars
The love that makes me know I don't care what we do or what we are
I see the real all around you if its really real at all

Right Time
©1992 shockorama music pub. / music & lyrics by Bob Schneider

I waited for the right time to let you go
I waited for the right time to let you know
I waited for the right time to let you go
I waited for the right time and the right time is
Right about now

You never thought that it would happen to you
Falling in love was something that other people do
You left so many broken hearts in your wake
Taking me for granted was your big mistake

I waited for the right time to let you go
I waited for the right time to let you know
I waited for the right time to let you go
I waited for the right time and the right time is
Right about now

You used to have such a spell on me
You stripped away all my dignity
You thought you had me down for the count
If there's a price to pay I paid the full amount

I waited for the right time to let you go
I waited for the right time to let you know
I waited for the right time to let you go
I waited for the right time and the right time is
Right about now

Hell hath no fury like a lover scorned

Rio de Janeiro
lyrics by Bob Schneider

My baby's so fat when she sits on my face
I can't even hear the ste-
Rio de Janeiro
My baby's so good when she treats me like she should
She's sweeter than a creamy filled o-
Rio de Janeiro

I've got to give her all I can
Give her all that she deserves
I've got to get on the road of love
And never swerve

Rising from the Ashes of Mediocrity
words & music by Bob Schneider

The angels line the streets for her
With pineapple wine and vinegar
And hundred dollar bill's that are sure
To keep her blessed tonight

She's been readmitted
Then quickly reacquitted
To the houses of the holy
Holy shit ain't that the truth

She's rising from the ashes of mediocrity
Rising from the ashes using only sheer tenacity
She's rising from the ashes of mediocrity
But they'll be a slow down and a roll around
And she'll be fucked round again

She wears a star and bears a gun
And swears a grudge against anyone
Who doesn't look the part or play the game
The way she do

Her checkered past is plaster cast
She shaves her chest and saves her heart
And sits down at the buffet
Sweating bullets till she's blue

She's rising from the ashes of mediocrity
Rising from the ashes using only fear's velocity
She's rising from the ashes of mediocrity
But they'll be a slow down and a roll around
And she'll be fucked round again

She's got a thousand dollar permasmile
She's a conversational phonophile
And a blue green stare that strays a while
But never lets you go

She's got a heart made out of gelatin
And a closet full of skeletons
And a mind that won't get well again
Of well what do you know

She's rising from the ashes of mediocrity
Rising from the ashes of everything she used to be
She's rising from the ashes using all her fresh philosophy
But they'll be a slow down and a roll around
And she'll be fucked round again

She waited for the phone to ring
She waited for the dingaling
She waited for the god's to bring
Him to her in her heart

She closed her room to strangers but
She never failed to feel the cut
She worked her way around the rut
And one day fell apart

She's rising from the ashes of mediocrity
Rising from the ashes of everything she used to be
She's rising from the ashes drowning in the xtc
But they'll be a slow down in Motown
And she'll be fucked round again

She took her pieces to the king
He said she was a fine young thing
They all began to laugh and sing
As she lay at their feet

Why they laughed they wouldn't say
Yet all their smiles were painted gray
They dried up and they blew away
And slept there in the street

The Road
©1999 shockorama music pub.

Oh she like the road
Turn turn turn
Oh she like the river
Churn churn churn
Oh when you gonna find 
You learn learn learn
Oh she like the fire
Burn burn burn

You can't tell her son no not anything at all
When the mountain crumble oh when the sky will fall
Go down that road you will never turn around
The sky turn red  oh and the sky fall down

Somewhere in the night dem ghosts they wait
When you take that road you'll never be the same
Oh I like it when you said that it was all in your mind
All the love you got is all the truth you'll find

Rock Star
lyrics by Bob Schneider

I’m a big rock star
Check out my shoes
My girlfriends’ mighty purdy
And they always come in two’s
I’m a big rock star
I’m sure that you can tell
Because my hat’s too tight
Because my heads so swell

And it’s a good thing that I’m me
Otherwise I wouldn’t have a clue
It’s a good thing that I’m me
Cause if I wasn’t then I’d have to bust my butt
And get a job and that would suck and I’d be fucked
And that’s the truth

I’m a big rock star
The man of the year
My pants is all shiny
From people kissing my rear
I’m a big rock star
My albums number one
My dick ain’t all that heavy 
But my wallet weighs a ton

And it’s a good thing that I’m me
Otherwise I wouldn’t have a clue
It’s a good thing that I’m me
Cause if I wasn’t then I’d have to bust my butt
And get a job and that would suck and I’d be fucked
And that’s the truth

I’m a big rock star
You know that I’m a freak
My hair’s a different color
Everyday of the week
I’m a big rock star
My crib’s super swanky
I’m cooler than a cold cut
And my shit ain’t even stanky

And it’s a good thing that I’m me
Otherwise I wouldn’t have a clue
It’s a good thing that I’m me
Cause if I wasn’t then I’d have to bust my butt
And get a job and that would suck and I’d be fucked
And that’s the truth

Round & Round
music & lyrics by Bob Schneider

When your head falls off your neck
And hits the ground with a smack
And you're back on the wrong track
Where' your at when you lost you're head
Get out of bed that's what I said
And you're feeling like the dead seeing red 
Reborn where's my porn
My pants are torn up damnit where's the wine
Put my body in a pine box baby
Bustin' clocks changin' my locks
I know the time it's time to get up
And get out and get over this
But I don't know how and I don't know why

And the world goes round
And the world goes around
And the world goes round & round

When your bets been beat  and they turn up the heat
And you feel a little weak and you can hardly speak
And the coconuts come to your house with a bomb
And blow up the cake you got from your mom
And your diapers aren't dry and the neighbors all die
And you feel a little high a little higher than the big blue sky
And you wring your hands and the blood pours out
And the blood pours out

When your friends evaporate and you can't catch a break
And you're tied to the stake and everything you hate
Comes crashing down on your big round
Golen greazy crown and you can't make a sound
And you feel like your drowning and you stumble through the dark
And the dogs start to bark and you're fired on a lark
And your skin starts to spark and you're burning up inside
And your dentures start to slide

Ruby Kisses
©1993 shockorama music pub. / lyrics & melody by Bob Schneider

Before you walk out with my heart
Before you tear my world apart
You better think about it
Before you take another step
Before you try hard to forget me
You better think about it

They'll be no more ruby kisses no more tear stained eyes
No more wasting time on your alibis
No more ruby kisses in the middle of the night
No more waking up with these tear stained eyes

Before you walk out that door
Before you take one step more
You better think about it
Before you walk out of my life
Before you cut me like a knife
You better think about it

I don't want to be  here when you get here
When you get here I’ll be gone
I'll be long long gone

Before you leave me here alone
Before you turn my heart to stone
You better think about it
Before you throw my love away
Before you leave this house today
You just better think about it
