I’m looking at you
You’re looking away
“It’s a big mistake”
That’s all you say
I waited around
I blew that horn
Ya, I split the rocks
to be re-born
“Apostate”, that’s all you got
“Apostate”, well, that ain’t true
“Apostate”, that’s all you got
Cuz I still have faith but not in you
But you didn’t show
You fucked it up
I was waiting in vain
In my pickup truck
You took too long
I got a new guru
Call him “Buddha”
He’s a brand new hero
“Apostate”, that’s all you got
“Apostate”, well, that ain’t true
“Apostate”, that’s all you got
Cuz I still have faith but not in you
I heard “the word”
And the word is bird
Got one on each arm
I’m spreading the word!
A date with the devil
He's coming soon
Bring my chalice
And a wooden spoon
“Apostate”, that’s all you got
“Apostate”, well, that ain’t true
“Apostate”, that’s all you got
Cuz I still have faith but not in you

I Wanna Be Alone

I’m a mad scientist and I don’t like people
That’s why I make inventions
Before I get old
I’ll hide
Because I don’t like myself
The show that we’re making is made up
Do you wanna play my game?
I’m gonna be loose out of jail
I told you this show was funny
I told you
I wanna be alone
I wanna be stupid alone
Oh what’s happening
I’m gonna jump over the hole
In a portal now I’m gone
I wanna be alone

Your Love is a Sump Pump

Your love is a sump pump and my basement stays dry
Your love is a sump pump and I have no back up supply
Your love is a sump pump and the water main's collapsed
Your love is a sump pump and they've cancelled the rebate program
Sump pump, sump pump
Your love is a sump pump, sump pump
I am the pit
I am the pit, the pit, the pit
Your love is a sump pump and my heart has no back up valve
Your love is a sump pump but it hasn't rained all year
Your love is a sump pump so I put in a dedicated plug
Your love is a sump pump and the municipal drain is full
Sump pump, sump pump
Your love is a sump pump, sump pump
I am the pit
I am the pit, the pit, the pit

Red blue orange and the green
sure you think you know the scene
buddy you're in for a surprise polling day on June 19
And sure you won't believe it,
not unless you go to see it,
In Winnipeg South Centre
biggest ballot that's ever been
Hey ho!
There's a ballot that gets longer everyday (in Winnipeg)
Hey ho!
Yes the charter grants the right to throw your name in out of spite
So everybody stand! Drinks on me election night!
We've got brothers, sisters and their mothers,
their best friends and best friend's lovers,
From Grand Prairie, Pickle lake,
to Rimouski and Lac Drolet
No it didn't cost us money,
and yes we think it's pretty funny,
So go grab your hubby honey,
See the biggest ballot yet
Hey ho!
There's a ballot that gets longer everyday (in Winnipeg)
Hey ho!
Yes the charter grants the right to throw your name in out of spite
So everybody stand! Drinks on me election night!
If you ask us “what’s the purpose
of this longest ballot circus?”
“None of you will ever win so why bother with it at all?”
We will smile yes we'll be grinning,
say “no it’s not about the winning,
this is just the beginning
of small people standing tall”
Hey ho!
There's a ballot that gets longer everyday (in Winnipeg)
Hey ho!
Yes the charter grants the right to throw your name in out of spite
So everybody stand! Drinks on me election night!

Hey Jim, don't kill the ants
Don't make a mountain out of an anthill.
Remember ants want to live too,
They are important herbivores.
Hey Jim, most ants don't bite.
And if you feed them they'll stay outside.
Ants help keep your weeds in control
They are like gardeners.
So anytime you want to kill, hey Jim, just chill,
Don't kill the ants around your birch tree
Don't take rhubarb leaves and boil them in water
and pour it all over.
ant ants ants ants - ants ants ants ants ants
Hey Jim, the world needs bugs.
They are important pollinators.
Remember that every fruit that you've ate
was pollinated by an insect.
So let ants in and let them out, hey Jim, i doubt
you want to get bad luck
and don't you know that ants are cool, hey Jim, who'll
care about ants if not us?
ant ants ants ants - ants ants ants ants ants
Hey Jim, don't kill the ants
Don't make a mountain out of an anthill.
Remember ants want to live too,
They are important herbivores
ants ants ants aaaaanntss aaaannntttss, hey Jim...
