ALL A PART OF THE GAME
Sometimes it's all just a part of the game,
Staying behind, it's all the same
Staying ahead, life will change
Staying in the pack, with smallpox and mange
Life will kill you, but life can't die
Nothing to stop you from getting that high
Nothing to burn and nothing to shed
Stop getting angry, and you'll end up dead
First got the job at thirty
Working man does it real dirty
Worked for the carman till sixtyfive
Gunned down at point blank so it could survive
Sometimes it's all just a part of the game,
Staying behind, it's all the same
Staying ahead, life will change
Staying in the pack, with smallpox and mange
Follow the leader is all very good,
But, soon, the engine shuts down under the hood
We'll pay you more for one more work hour
Instead of sitting at house, life devoured.
Black suits find out, put out the hit
Tired of all of this bullshit
Start up the rockets and light the fuse
They'll gladly take away your power to chose
Sometimes it's all just a part of the game,
Staying behind, it's all the same
Staying ahead, life will change
Staying in the pack, with smallpox and mange
Shoot up the neighborhood with complete disregard
Life in these times is too damn hard
Everyone's walking round battered and scarred
Gotta learn to play the right card
Sometimes it's all just a part of the game,

LOW WATER TIME
Low water time
when the plants show
when the fish sleep
where the sound runs
In the puddles
by the tidepools
in tidy rows
one by one
There's a shining sun in the distant sky
Sitting barefoot in the grass
Looking towards the open sea
Eternal peace at last
Feel the windblow
In your hair
In the air
Passing by
Low water time
when the plants show
when the fish sleep
where the sound runs
Sleeping under an oak tree
Beneath the starlit sky
But, no, this can't last forever
Time must sometimes die

I'm no good at writing music, but I'm good at lyrics, IMO. Thoughts?
