The Judys MORE

 


The Judys second album, MORE was released in September 2020.  


SOMETHING IN THE AIR
Is it funny when we share
everything we do or care?
Dust is floating in the air
fingers running through my hair....

Software's eating me alive
I must connect or I will die
Something is not right
with this modern appetite
We assume what we consume
and there is no private room 
They're digging every tomb
Brush the dead off with a broom

Something in the air

Is that a bird 
is that a drone?
They're listening to you on your phone
You think I'm paranoid?
I'm GOD!
I think your algorithms flawed
Five Eyes they want 5-G
Just not the Chinese variety
Is it Huawei or My Way?
Another train wreck on the highway

Something in the air

Every mother's KGB
King Tut's butt for all to see
For we are all the CIA
We're Edward Snowden's dna

As we climb the slippery slope
Fact checking things on Snopes
and everybody's high on coke
and everybody's in on the joke
Ha Ha Ha

Something in the air



ANOTHER GODDAM MAN

He keeps his feelings bottled up
'cause he's that kind of man
Gold card in the old boys club
yeah you're that kind of man
Over 50 but he never grew up
Yeah you're that kind of man
#MeToo was just a hiccup
Yeah you're that kind of man

What kind of man are you?

You're just a man 
Just another goddam man
And I've known so many men before
My God, you're just one more
Another goddam man
Another goddam man
Another goddam man.

What kind of man are you?

Another goddam man.


GOIN' OUT WEST   (Waits/Brennan)


WELCOME TO NEW YORK

Black Betty licks her lips with the devil's dust
In a hole in the back where the mirror's are cracked
and the razor's lined with rust
She can turn the clock back, make a white man black
Then you really lose control
You can cry all night, but you'll never win the fight
when Black Betty's got your soul

Welcome to New York
You won't be staying here too long
Forgot all the stupid words
to that old fashioned drug song.

Black Betty cuts a line through the crowd just like a cat
With her nails so sharp, like a needle to your heart
She makes the mirror ball flat
Well it all gets blurry, and your throat gets kinda of furry
and you think you might have ate the cat
Black Betty holds your hand, while you're holding up your end
and death is like your only friend.

Welcome to New York
You won't be staying here too long
Forgot all the stupid words
to that old fashioned drug song.

Just another old fashioned drug song.

FUCKED UP

Steve brought the knives and the Lebanese blonde
We used to shoot bullfrogs down by the pond
Rennie's 64 Impala with the red insides
We'd roll the windows up and crank the heat up high
In the summer we would cruise down by the pool
where those girls in their bikinis man they were so cruel
We had Aerosmith on 8-track
Dream On in the front and girls in the back.

And we were fucked up then
and life was just a bore
We were doing what we want
and we just want more...More MORE MORE!

Big Pete got smoked one night in the park
Crazy Joe got a gun and shot him in the dark
Big Pete was just trying to get his life back on track
And Steve's Mom always wondered how her knives got black.

And we were fucked up then
and life was just a bore
We were doing what we want
and we just want more...More MORE MORE!

Fucked up
Fucked up

Well we were fucked up then
and life was just a bore
We were doing what we want
and we just want more...More MORE MORE!

THE WHOLE WORLD'S ON DRUGS
Baby's got a bucket and she's putting on some pudge
She's got a brand new drug, calls it Tattoo Fudge
You don't have to go to circus
to find yourself a clown
Just turn on the TV, see what's going down.

The Whole World's On Drugs

You can roll it , you can lick it, you can find it on the ground
Some people falling in love, some people falling down
Some people living on the streets, some people living on the edge
Some people holding hands when they jump off the ledge.

The Whole World's On Drugs

Sugar makes the world go round.
(Tell it to me, sugar)
Sugar makes the world go round
(Sell it to me sugar)

The Whole Word's On Drugs

BEST BEFORE

When all the good men die
Even the funny man has to cry
Sometimes it's funny the people who live
Sometimes it's funny the people who die

I used to be the Last Good Man
that's what they called me, that's what I am
I got so high, one day I just fell
You picked me up, put me back on the shelf.

I never knew what I was good for
I guess I could have been better
I guess I was just best before
before we started keeping score.

Remember Jonah and the Whale
Inside that fish, he found betrayal
Betrayal is a snake it has two ends
One chews your soul, one choose your friends.

I never knew what I was good for
I guess I could have been better
I guess I was just best before
before we started keeping score.

Good friends come, and good friends go
Guess I was just the last to know
The last to know, the first one to leave
What you did, I still don't believe.

I never knew what I was good for.....
