Cut and Run 02:58
Woke up this morning feelin’ pretty damn good and drove down the road to my job. But the Boss locked the door, and a note read no more, cuz after taxes there’s nothing but loss. He had to Cut and Run - He had to Cut and Run The boss had to cut and run, there was nothing else to be done. Perhaps it was government policy, a fragile economy, a human anomaly. Maybe I should have studied astronomy so I could chart a path 
 through the heavens. I jumped back in the truck, head out for a bar and was really looking to tie one on. But as I took a left, a car side swiped me, I guess and sped off across someone’s lawn. He had to Cut and Run - He had to Cut and Run The driver left the scene, Well its just so obscene. How can I keep up this endurance, paying premium Insurance, lost my job and now I’m pissed off! You can’t change the world today. I’ve done nothing wrong, just having a real, real bad day. Now heading back home, got the wife on the phone. Just need to hear the sound of my honey. But things get worse, she said she grabbed the kids and her purse, left the dog, but took all my money. She had to Cut and Run - She had to Cut and Run At least my dog knows I did nothing wrong and it’s just a bad day.

I’m Benny the Swinger “His Name is Benny” Gonna take you to Dinner “Most likely at Denny’s” Such a Sexy Sinner “Not sure about that…” Gonna grind you Thinner “Hey, You sayin I’m fat?” Hey ah sweetie can I stir you up a martini? “Um, no I’m good, thanks.” And what about you sugar? Should I loosen my velvet bathrobe and let you gaze upon my speedo? “You do that shit and I’m calling the cops.” How about you pussy cat? Ever reach ecstasy while listening to Herb Albert and the Tiuanna Brass on vinyl while tongue wrestling on a High shag carpet. “What’s vinyl and who is Herb? On second thought, get the fuck away from me.” Well hello lady! Oh look at you… all lonely in the corner of the lounge. Can I buy a drink? “I don’t know I’m pretty drunk already.” Oh, like hey, you said the magic words… I’m pretty. How about you and me (um.. Benny) take this party to a cheap hotel for an hour or so? “What? You really think I’m pretty? Oh Lenny?” No, my name is Benny! Just ask around, all the ladies know me. I’m Benny the Swinger “His Name is Benny” Gonna take you to Dinner “Most likely at Denny’s” Such a Sexy Sinner “Not sure about that…” Gonna grind you Thinner “Hey, You sayin I’m fat?”

The Weight of the World Falls on Me Propping up pillars of burdens from being Free What will you do to find infamy? Call on your brothers & and call on good Company. Too many ways - Not many days What will you do to lighten the load? Oh No. You keep coming back for more more of the same thing, not like that damn thing more Wonder of Humanity, Blunders of Calamity- more Roll it all in stride tuck your tail and die - more Too many ways - Not many days What will you do to lighten the load? Oh No. (x4) Too many ways Not many days What will you do to lighten the load? Oh No. (x2) The Weight of the World Falls on Me Propping up pillars of burdens from being Free What will you do to find infamy? Call on your brothers & and call on good Company.

Life’s takin the long way, takin the wrong way, takin the slow… 
I’m saying no way Make it the fast way, this is my last way, the up the big way… 
ya hear what I’m saying Gonna create a reflective bot, gonna build a beautiful android. They laughed back in high school, said was not cool, called me a geek fool, “Don’t be such a freakin tool!” Cranked on computers, disputing diluters, the girls were ok but I longed for something cuter. 
Gonna create a sexy bot, gonna build a beautiful android. Grab a limb from Mary, take a toe from Terri, pluck an ear so scary, 
gonna grab a uni-brow. Eye’s from oscilloscope, voice fused from Speak and Spell, 
brain positively Positronic. Reflective bot, gonna build a beautiful android. 16 Ohms - More Blood - Turn It Up 7db - More - Turn it up More! - Add more juice - crank up the gain - it’s starting to move - it’s, it’s, it’s, It’s Alive!! Robot speaks 1
Yes, it’s a success, come closer. Stand in the light I must see you in the light. Wait.. what are you doing? You mustn’t do that. You were not designed for that. Send back. Oh no. Life’s takin the long way, takin the wrong way, takin the slow… 
I’m saying no way Make it the fast way, this is my last way, the up the big way… 
ya hear what I’m saying Bad Android… got me in trouble again. Robot Speaks 2
