To give an idea of the output of this prolific talented man:
Excerpt from 'Medioated Family'- this song is the one that first influenced Folsom Prison to invite him to Folsom to do a show.
"When Daddy's stressed out he smokes lots of dope He washes it down with twelve cans of beer It levels him out and drowns all his fears We're a medicated family in 2003 Thank God for Ritalin, made a new kid of me When they give me my pills they think I'm all right But I get bad dreams and I can't sleep at night Can't sleep at night. Can't sleep at night..."
From 'Temple of Mas Consumption':
'We've got the Midas touch but we got it in reverse We buy more at the mall and it only gets worse While the man on the TV screams you gotta get some more We bought the hula hoop and the lava lamps And the exercise equipment that gave us the cramps While in the meantime millions starve 'cause they got no rice or beans And there's a hole in our souls and we wonder what the whole thing mean.
From 'She Walked in Beauty':
"When she walked, she walked in beauty In the footsteps that God himself had laid When the wind blows, where does it come from And like the soul of man, where does it go?"
'New Fallen Snow', from Writing on Stone:
'All my tracks are covered by new fallen snow There's no trace of where I have been I have turned my back on the snow and cold And I won't be back again, my friend No I never shall return here again.'
