You’ve got no credit
You’re out of cash
If you’re a teacher
You’ve got no class
You’re out of work
Without a job
It’s down and dirty
Mean and hard
You say why me? Why me you ask
And then you know you’re running with the New White Trash
You’re life is hard
You need a bump
Cold case in the fridge
Now you’re punch drunk
AC on high
You’re freon low
No place to be so
Watch your favorite show
You say why me? Why me you ask
And then you know you’re running with the New White Trash
Wife’s wearing bruises
Your lawyer says
You’re gonna lose this
The New White Trash
You got more bills
Than you got cash
Like an accident
It’s like whiplash
You got no credit
You’re out of cash
If you’re a teacher
You’re the New White Trash
You’re out work
Without a job
It’s down and dirty
You say why me? Why me you ask
And then you know you’re running with the New White Trash

DON'T DIG TOO DEEP
03:35
|
|||
|
it was a long time coming, a tumbling down, a financial earthquake was rumbling 'round
-don't dig too deep
took everyone with it in its wake
like a high end hooker with a bog 'ol shake
-don't dig too deep
something unsaid lingers in the room
it goes around in circles like a sweet perfume
your fingers down and underneath the beat
it can jumble in your head make you move your feet
-don't dig too deep

MELTDOWN
03:19
|
|||
|
You only wish you could take the money and run
Cash it all in for some fun in the sun
But the bailout came and left you blind
Now the taxman’s comin for your behind
I’m on my my, I’m on my my
I’m on my my meltdown
I’m on my meltdown
I’m on my my, I’m on my my
I’m on my meltdown
I’m on my my meltdown
The New White Trash is your new face
Fallen from the middle and you’re facing a hard race
Sock it to me baby, and you can’t win
Got more goin out than you got coming in
Everything you know is looking like a lie
You only want to work and not one bite
Now you’re selling something
For cash on the side
You’re the New White Trash and you can’t hide
I’m on my my, I’m on my my
I’m on my my meltdown
I’m on my meltdown
I’m on my my, I’m on my my
I’m on my meltdown
I’m on my my meltdown
The New White Trash is your new line
Ain’t no doubt about it, you’re losing big time
When everything was good, it all turned bad
You’re the New White Trash and you’ve been had
You’re the New White Trash
You’re the New White Trash
And you’ve been had
I’m on my my, I’m on my my
I’m on my my meltdown
I’m on my meltdown
I’m on my my, I’m on my my
I’m on my meltdown
I’m on my my meltdown
All the news is fresh from the TV set
You’re the New White Trash, that’s what you’ll get
Being played like a fish made to jump
You’re the New White Trash
And it’s coming round to nothing for you
And you're sunk

NIGHTINGALE
02:30
|
|||
|
This way please pull down your veil
Form one line, hold out your hand
For the nightingale
Socrates imagined what Aristotle blurred
Plato never said if he really knew for sure
If A was really A
Hold out your hand for the nightingale
And Plato never said he really knew for sure
If A was really A
Hold out your hand
For the nightingale
This way please, you know the way
Into the dim light of the cave
Form one line reach out your hand
For the nightingale
High flames of fire, figures made of wood
It’s not what you remember, if only you could
Form one line, reach out your hand
For the Nightingale
Form one line, reach out your hand
For the nightingale
Here at the mouth of this great cave
Giant, inviting, forbidden
It is to do with shadow that scares us
Drives us. Haunts our waking sleep
Places us in the haul of keel and rudder
In the drift of wind and wake

IT WOULD BE STRANGE
02:59
|
|||
|
It would be strange
And what would you do
Fighting the long odds
Could you refuse
Don’t let my fear
Turn my ears and eyes off
It would be strange
To give up your soul
And hold on to nothing
But diamonds and gold
Don’t let my fear
Turn my ears and eyes off

AVALANCHE & EARTHQUAKE
04:03
|
|||
|
Living on the window sill
Tween horizon and event
Taking time to breathe today
It’s time to go out and…
Avalanche and earthquake
Don’t bother me
Today we hold the high ground
The sun is on our face
Common ground is our ground
And today is not a race
Avalanche and earthquake
Don’t bother me
Cruising in the open space
Taking time to heal
It only comes when you find the place
Where love and time reveal
Avalanche and earthquake
Don’t bother me
Living on the window sill
Breathing in the evening air
Between horizon and events
I wanna take you there
Avalanche and earthquake
Don’t bother me

GIRL'S GOT
08:24
|
|||
|
Driving home late I can hardly wait
Make a right turn only down my one-way street
She calls me up and says baby are you hungry
The oven’s warm and there’s something to eat
It’s cold outside but it’s warm and sweet here
When life gets heavy I’m the one you need here
Holding onto her love is a winner
The way she goes about it makes me weak at the knees
Everything about her is coming up roses
A double-dose of her love is what I need
She calls me up and says baby are you hungry
The oven’s warm and there’s something to eat
It’s cold outside but it’s warm and sweet here
When life gets heavy I’m the one you need here
Baby I’m on my way
I’m on my way home

Never mind the headlines
Graffiti wrote the headline
Ahead of its time
From my waiting lips
Peel the propaganda
From my waiting lips
Peel the propaganda
From my waiting lips
Peel the propaganda
From my waiting lips
Peel the propaganda
From my waiting… kiss
In from the cold
A beer in the beer garden
Faites bonjour Mesdames at Messieurs
Les jeux s’ont faire
Rien va plus
In a language that makes no sense
Les jeux s’ont faire
All the while wiretapping
The electric fence that surrounds you
We charge extra for this
Do you like me?
We charge extra for this
A perfect passport smile
Dead drop gorgeous smile
We charge extra for this
I know you like me
And a data base on file

RUNNING ON RUMOR
04:03
|
|||
|
Who’s driving this train wreck
Yeah we already know
Into the sunset
Of the fire’s last glow
Was that the red light
In the burn of the coals
Can we get off now
It’s the end of the road
Ain’t it funny when
All you know has been
Turned out a big lie
Shake and bake and freeze dried
Deep-fried and caramelized
It all tastes the same
Running on rumor
Bottled and canned
Monday through Sunday
And we all understand
There was plenty of warning
Baby I told you so
Running on rumor
It’s the end of the road
Ain’t it funny when
All you know has been
Turned out a big lie
Motor home street side
Funny looks passersby
Pretending not so see
Me in the post card
Idle by your front door
We don’t mean any harm
My hungry dog and me
Who’s driving this train wreck
Yeah we already know
Down to the bottom
Where everything goes
Running on rumor
Running it down
Who’s driving this train wreck
As the curtain lets down

SLAB CITY
03:04

You know why you came here
But not sure why you stayed
Could’ve been the weather
Have a new life in L.A.
It never rains in Hollywood
And no one knows why
And now you’re leaving for
Your family wants to know
You’re doing really well
Only you can’t tell them
How dry the well is
Your family wants to know
You’re doing AOK
Only you can’t tell them
How dry the well is
And no one know why
It never rains in Hollywood
And now you’re leaving for
Slab City and Salvation Mountain
A last sanctuary
And now you’re leaving for
All in all as time goes
Like a movie going by
Full of accidents and incidents
A real blockbuster ride
It never rains in Hollywood
And no one knows why
And now you’re leaving for
Your family wants to know
You’re doing really well
Only you can’t tell them
How dry the well is
It never rains in Hollywood

Another long war
And we’ve come up red
Dead and dying soldiers sold for lies that were said, now
We can’t escape from
We can’t escape from
Tuition is due
No money for rent
Running low on food
And all the money’s spent
Now you can’t escape from
Forget about the doctor
The ache in your tooth
Take another Advil
Put on your working boots
There’s no escape from

HELLO LIFE
02:36
|
|||
|
Gotta go can’t be late
Hold my head but work won’t wait
Brush my hair and wash my face
Back to life, another day
Winter coat I’m out the door
It’s cold out here, all alone
Drive downtown, do my nine
Eat my dinner and drink my wine
Hello life
Caught in a whale of a tale
May be a landslide I can’t tell
All alone, I’m in the deep end
That’s me, I’m looking up again
Last call, I’m going
Button up and I walk home knowing
Two days and the weekend’s here
Monday’s off, gonna have a beer

TAKE THESE
02:53
|
|||
|
Take these
It’s a easy swallow and they’ll make you feel better
Wash them down with Kool Aid, it really doesn’t matter
When you’re feeling down, Hello
We’ve got toys for your mind
Red, White and Blue, Yellow
Take two of these and in no time at all
You’ll be fine
It’s a easy swallow and they’ll make you feel better
Wash them down with Kool Aid, it really doesn’t matter
Are you feelin OK?
A little hazy when you look my way
Kiss you and then
Take two of these and in no time at all
You’ll be fine
What a killer combination
A lethal double dose
Take em with a kiss
Take two of these and in no time at all
You’ll be fine

WEIRD KIND OF SENSE
03:25

Oh what a what a mess we left you
Against the odds and all the god we left you such a mess
Toasting on tea and champagne
Nothing left but a dry disdain
Camped by the fire in formal attire
Under the change of the changing weather vane
Oh what a what a mess we left you
This is not tomorrow
Today is not a drill
See the stream becoming
More and more intent
Tearing down the only house
That god in heaven sent
This is not tomorrow
Today is not a drill
Yesterday heeds no warning
And the prophecy’s fulfilled
See the stream becoming
More and more intent
Tearing down the only house
That god in heaven sent
This is not tomorrow
Today is not a drill
Yesterday heeds no warning
And the prophecy’s fulfilled

WHOLE NUTHA TRIP
04:09
|
|||
|
They were sweethearts of the rodeo
Fueled by the fallout
Life ahead no path to go by
Living in another life
One on the way
Two by the side
Double down on something
Looking for the one thing
Fueled by the fallout
Two kids on the side
It’s a whole nutha trip
Living in a double wide
French fries for dinner
Potatoes on the side
Living in another life
One on the way
Two by the side
Double down on something
Looking for the one thing
It’s a whole nutha trip
Blood on your shirt
Lipstick on your lips
Coming home late
Everyone’s awake
Why not say something
Too much to lose
Stop coming around here
Thought I made it clear
Yeah he’s a cheeter
But he feeds the parking meter
I’m only in it for the country blues
It’s a whole nutha trip

Drop a bomb and you come out shootin
All the crows in the field you’re using for target practice
You’re so white trash
Top down and you’re cruising for a bruising
All the signs on the road you’re using as target practice
You’re so white trash
We’re the people of the revolution
We’re the people of the evolution
Say hello to
To the New White Trash
When you're high it all comes together
Gotta head full of nasty weather
Wippets, wine, beer and cash
Say hello to the New White Trash
Old car smoking but you don’t care
Your car’s smoking but you don’t care
Big holes in your three-day underwear
Shotgunready in your tracks
Say hello to the New White Trash
Pouring beer down the back of your wife
At the track you’re living the big lie
You’re the man of the moment
So let’s get stoned in my double wide
We’ll get some beer with my come-along bride
We’re the New White Trash
Say a Prayer for New White Trash
You’re living the good life at the track
You're the man of the moment
Say a prayer for the New White Trash

FREE FALL
03:25
|
|||
|
When it feels like the ride is head-on to the end
Fuel gage is broken, your tire’s worn thin
And your back’s up against the wall again
You’re the New White Trash
When everyone, everywhere is running for cover
When promises and bailouts are feeding bottom suckers
And your back’s up against the wall again
You’re the New White Trash
Trade the middle for the New White Trash
Say goodbye to the working class
Hold on to nothing at all
You’re the New White Trash in free fall.
Caught up in a tangle now you’re hanging on a thread
Raise your hand if you’re a man looking for a bed
To lay your head
You’re the New White Trash
Any day le soleil is going to shine again
It don’t matter how but it matters when
When your back’s up against the wall again
You’re the New White Trash
Trade the middle for the New White Trash
Lave your keys you ain’t coming back
Hold on nothing at all
You’re the New White Trash in free fall
Go ahead and give me some hope
Go ahead and give me some dope
Go ahead and give me some hope
Go ahead and give me some dope
And your back’s up against the wall again
You’re the New White Trash
Say hello to the New White Trash
We’re laying out the welcome mat
Where you were ain’t where it’s at anymore
You’re the New White Trash in Free Fall

Oh Hey, Hi, Hello from Babylon and Oz
Dug in with my plug-in drug
In bed with the aliens and crazies
Aliens and crazies
Gonna spend the weekend lying in my room
Tune in to Fox and CNN
Until I
Believe the end is coming
Believe the end is coming
Ooey gooey
Ooh
Ooey Gooey
Ooh
No way to deny the beautiful distraction
And you are my deception
Fake boobies and the weather girl is pretty
Toll-free dial give me 2 4 1
Have some Home Shopping Network fun
And leave my credit card for payment
Credit card for payment
Ooey gooey
Ooey Gooey
Ooh
Ooey gooey
Oooh
Turn myself away I’m turning off this box
Walk the dog around the block
You know I would but would I be missing?
Everything I need to know I find in them
In my hundred-channel friends
All day and night with the aliens and crazies
Aliens and crazies
Ooey gooey
Ooey Gooey
Ooh
Ooey gooey
Oooh
Ha ha ha ha

REALIZE THE LIE
03:16
|
|||
|
Running with the dogs of war
We’ve run this race before
It’s rotten to the core
When only war can save you
Eternal war is evident
As a whole it all makes sense
When every politician is pay to play
When only war can save you
Looks like your wedding day
Two kids raise a family
Oh my what a price to pay
When only war can save you
Mash your face against the glass
Ease your load you won’t be back
You’ll be dying of a heart attack
When only war can save you
Realize the lie
And you know it
It’s a lie, what you hear
End in sight is nowhere near
God rest your soul in fear
When only war can save you
Out here at the edge of day
With the darkness coming down
Everybody’s leaving town
And only war can save you
Realize the lie
And you know it’s true
And you know it’s true
It got my dog
It’s coming for you
And you know it’s true
When only war can save you
|

COLD LIGHT OF DAY
04:21
|
|||
|
You have to see it for yourself
Take a trip from Detroit down to New Orleans
Hear a hundred heartbreak stories
In every one at least a hundred broken dreams
Shuttering all the windows
Melting down into nothing left
But one thing only
How cold it is in the bright
Cold light of day
I’m not running away I’m staying
Everybody’s leaving
They’re already gone
Everybody’s left with the frowns
Run away from this town
From the neon glittering crowd
Run away from this town
From the neon
Cold light of day
Everybody’s leaving
They’re already gone
Run away from this town
Everybody’s leaving
Bye bye bye bye
They’re already gone
Bye bye bye bye

Sometime love leaves a glance
Passing by my fence
And I just look down
At my hard-headed ground and I
Hate to see you go baby
Hate to see you go
Yet you just slowed down
Turned and looked around
Sometimes love looks back
To see its track and I
Hate to see you go baby
Hate to see you go
And when the time comes
To heal your heart
I’ll be there and I’ll do my part
And you’ll see that you ain’t lost nothing at all
Cause there ain’t nothing like you
On my back road
On my back road
Sometimes love takes a chance
Dares a different dance
Does the fire still burn
Baby make that turn and
Never look away baby
Winter with me
Live your winter me
Look into my eyes
Look into my eyes
Until the night yields unto the day
Until the hurt begins to go away
Till my lovin brings your livin back around
Cause there ain’t nothing like you
On my back road
On my back road.

New White Trash Venice, California
THE NEW WHITE TRASH IN THE POST-PARADIGM ERA
Mining a new groove, and with a kind of rough grace,
DOUBLEWIDE, the 37 song, 2 CD set from the NEW WHITE TRASH, chronicles the slide of the former American middle-class down a steep and slippery slope to the New White Trash, a place impartial to race, religion, creed or color.
