ANTI-VAXXER
Lyrics and Music by Bruce Neilsen
You’ve got a degree
In stupidity
You’re too self-obsessed
To really see
Conspiracy theories
Won’t let you know
You’re just a joke
Don’t you know
Anti-Vaxxer
Anti-Vaxxer
Anti-Vaxxer
Anti-Vaxxer
How did you ever
Get this dumb
To make your mind
So damn numb
You live in a bubble
That’s going to burst
Your paranoia
Is your curse
Anti-Vaxxer
Anti-Vaxxer
Anti-Vaxxer
Anti-Vaxxer
Don’t sprout your bullshit
In my face
When did you leave
The human race
Anti-Vaxxer
Anti-Vaxxer
Anti-Vaxxer
Anti-Vaxxer
No one tells you
What to do
You think you’re a witch
But I know you’re a fool
You think you’re so cool
Fake news is true
Everyone’s out to get you
I think we’re through

ZOMBIE WORLD
Lyrics & Music by Bruce Neilsen
I’m a zombie
She’s a zombie
All zombies
In a zombie world
I’m a zombie
She’s a zombie
All zombies
In a zombie world
You work in the day
The same as them
Got no opinions
Got no friends
Just take orders
It’s all a dead end
I’m a zombie
She’s a zombie
All zombies
In a zombie world
I’m a zombie
She’s a zombie
All zombies
In a zombie world
When you get home
You watch TV
When I get home
I watch TV
Because TV is
The only thing left for me
I’m a zombie
She’s a zombie
All zombies
In a zombie world
I’m a zombie
She’s a zombie
All zombies
In a zombie world
I’ve got no boyfriends
I’m made of steel
Got no feelings
I’m not for real
You’ve got no thoughts
You’ve got no brain
You feel no happiness
And you feel no pain
I’m a zombie
She’s a zombie
All zombies
In a zombie world
I’m a zombie
She’s a zombie
All zombies
In a zombie world
Zombie world
Zombie world
Zombie world
Zombie world
Zombie world
Zombie world
Zombie world

POVERTY QUEUE
Words and Music by Bruce Neilsen
You think life is hard
In your comfortable bed
You’ve got silly thoughts
Running round in your head
There’s always someone
Who’d like to be you
There’s an endless line
In the poverty queue
In the poverty queue
In the poverty queue
In the poverty queue
There could be a you or a me
Waiting forever
No shining sun to see
In the poverty queue
There could be a you or a me
Waiting forever
No shining sun to see
There’s people without beds
Food, clothing and toys
Some starving to death
They don’t have a choice
Don’t think a second about them
Just complain instead
You’ve got silly thoughts
Going round in your head
In the poverty queue
In the poverty queue
In the poverty queue
There are degrees of misery
Exploited and broken
How I wish you could see
In the poverty queue
There are degrees of misery
Exploited and broken
How I wish you could see
When you say your life
Could be far better too
There are many who want
To swap places with you
But I doubt you would think
That far ahead
Do you seriously think
You’d rather be dead
When there’s so many people
Dodging bullets instead
You’re whining and moaning
In your comfortable bed
In the poverty queue
There’s too many to count
Too many problems
Too hard to surmount
In the poverty queue
There could be a you or a me
Waiting forever
No shining sun to see
In the poverty queue
There could be a you or a me
Waiting forever
No shining sun to see
In the poverty queue
The poverty queue
The poverty queue
The poverty queue
Waiting
Just waiting
Just waiting
In the poverty queue

VALLEY OF TEARS
Music and Lyrics by Bruce Neilsen
Hey mister can’t you help me?
I’m wise beyond my years
I might look young and carefree
But I’m drowning in my tears
I think about the world around me
And realize my fears
I missed the last bus to go
To the valley of tears
My time has come
And I can see
A life not lived or free
As I say goodbye to those surrounding me
Let time slip by too easily
Until there was none left for me
Don’t waste your life dreaming
Voices called out to me
I watched friends slip by too readily
And lovers too
All part of my destiny
That fell apart too soon
No shining light
In the darkness I call home
Only regrets and misery
For what I should have known
Now I’ve got to face my fears
In the valley of tears
In the valley of tears
I’ve got to face my fears
Every minute matters
Every second too
Hold onto precious life
Until it let’s go of you
So mister can’t you help me
I’m wise beyond my years
I might look young and carefree
But I’m drowning in a valley of tears

ANOTHER DAY GONE BY
Music and Lyrics by Bruce Neilsen
Another birthday
Another year gone by
Sitting here
Asking why
There is a moon
Up in the sky
Another day gone by
Another day gone by
Another year
Down in the dust
I hope my brain
Never rusts
But if it does
Then I guess it must
Another day gone by
Another day gone by
Another day
And we’re still the same
You say you’re right
And I’m wrong again
Another day
I’ve forgotten your name
Are you the one that used to say
Things would change
Another reason
For another time
Another answer
For another line
Another reason
For another time
Another answer
For another line
All forgotten
Until we change our minds again

TOMORROW’S TOO CLOSE FOR TODAY
Music and Lyrics by Bruce Neilsen
Now darkness falls
I’m alone again
Fighting so hard
To see again
Time may heal the memories
Inside I find
And the way I feel
Getting over you
But tomorrows too close for today
Tomorrow’s too close for me to say
Tomorrow’s too close for today
Tomorrow’s too close for me to say
I’ll find you again
Now new directions
Send me far and wide
Looking for a love
I won’t have to hide
But tomorrow’s too close for today
And the past is too far away
I can’t bring you back to me again
And I know these thoughts
Have got to end
Too scared of failure
To take a chance
Hiding in your heart
You find romance
A thousand dreams or more
That never come true
All because I’m still getting over you
But tomorrow’s too close for today
And the past is too far away
I can’t bring you back to me again
And I know these thoughts
Have got to end

DON’T PREACH TO ME
Words and Music by Bruce Neilsen
You think you’re so clever
And no one is better than you
Until you open your mouth
Then it’s so clear it’s untrue
You say you’re a friend
Of the earth
And no one’s
Greener than you
But you’re no friend of mine
I can see right through you
You’ve got PC sickness
You censor and cancel your friends
Until no one’s left to cancel
Hey where will it end?
Your anger’s overflowing
And your mind is diseased
You’ve got no personality
And you’ve got no reason to be
And I know now
You’re really quite off your tree
You’ve got a degree
And no one’s smarter than you
You’ve got all the answers
To every question asked of you
But I know inside
You’re just too good to be true
It takes a lot to hate
Quite as much as you
But I’m learning fast
Since I’ve been hanging around you
I know I’ve gotta get out fast
Running away from you
Your social media posts
Are too tiresome to read
You’re a self-appointed expert
In everything you believe
But you’re not a preacher
So don’t preach at me
But you’re not a preacher
Don’t preach at me
I said you’re not a preacher
So don’t preach at me

BROKEN HEART
Music and Lyrics by Bruce Neilsen
Got a broken heart
That will never mend
Like a damaged bird
That won’t fly again
Don’t pity me
I’m lost again
Can’t find my way
Past you again
Got memories
That won’t go away
Sadness and heartbreak
Set in my ways
Don’t look for me
I’m lost again
On a sea of darkness
Torment and pain
Never belonged
To anyone but you
But I was wrong
Because you left me too
Now my heart is broken
Don’t know what to do
Guess I’ll have to look
For another you
Black nights and lonely skies
Are the colours in my eyes
Don’t worry about me
I’ll be doing fine
As I drift away
Down a lonesome road
Far far away
Nothing left to say
I’ll be fine
It’ll be sweet
And my broken heart
Won’t admit defeat
And I’ll find someone new
Far better than you
When you want me back
Well I’ll refuse
But my broken heart
Won’t let me forget
My broken heart
Hasn’t mended yet
No my broken heart
Just won’t let me forget
My broken heart
Hasn’t mended yet

TOO MUCH TIME
Music and Lyrics by Bruce Neilsen
I’ve got too much
Time on my hands
I’ve got too much
Time on my hands
I’ve got too much
Time on my hands
I’ve got too much
Time on my hands
Although you’re just a memory
Long ago is too near it seems
Even see you in my dreams
In my dreams
I’ve got too much
Time on my hands
I’ve got too much
Time on my hands
I see you everywhere I go
The people I see
We used to know
You’re still inside me it seems
So it seems
I need courage
To get over you
And I hope
It’s coming soon
But today
Seems like yesterday
So near
And so far away
I’ll probably never see you again
Friendships fade, friendships end
But getting over some
Isn’t easy
I’ll probably never see you again
Friendships fade, friendships end
But getting over some
Isn’t easy
Isn’t easy
Isn’t easy
I’ve got too much
Time on my hands
I’ve got too much
Time on my hands
I’ve got too much
Time on my hands
I’ve got too much
Time on my hands
You’re just a memory
But I even see you in my dreams

FOR HANNAH
Music and Lyrics by Bruce Neilsen
Battered children
Battered wives
Too many
Broken lives
I try to hide
There’s nowhere to go
If this is life
I’d rather go
Away
Away
To where the angels
Call out my name
Just another stat
Of what could have been
Hardly shows the pain
I’m in
I take the beatings
And try to grin
There’s no way
That I can win
It’s too late
Too late
I’m already
On my way
Where the clouds
Call me home again
This was my story
Too often told
No rainbow
No pot of gold
The future’s gone
Already past
I tried to hide
Inside my mask
It didn’t work
And now I am gone
Just another victim
Who didn’t belong
Has gone
Has gone
To where the clouds
Call out their names
Hannah was her name
Don’t let
This happen
Again
She died with courage
Don’t let it be
In vain
Hannah was her name
Hannah
Hannah
Hannah
Hannah
Don’t let this happen again
Don’t let this happen again
Don’t let this happen again
Don’t let this happen again
Hannah
Hannah

VAN GOGH
Words and Music by Bruce Neilsen
I was feeling like Van Gogh
On a lonely starless night
Looking for inspiration
Giving up the fight
Hey what are you doing?
A voice said inside to me
Just keep on going
It looks like it’s up to me
When you’ve been down
As long as me
Nothing comes
Too easily
Except scammers
Backstabbers and clowns
Who try to trick you
And bring you down
Those who try to put you
Inside of a box
Label you and tie you up
In countless knots
You’re too old or you’re too young
To please the heartless ones
Who belittle you and discard you
And say how little you’ve got
I was looking for inspiration
On a lonely starless night
Until I saw you
Shining without a light
Until I met you
I felt so small inside
I felt loveless and clueless
Like the real me had died
Now I can see again
In the wilderness
Painting the sky with love
In every hue and tenderness
Now I can see again
Now I can see again
Now I can see again
In the wilderness
Now I can see again
Now I can see again
Now I can see again
In the wilderness
Now I can feel again
Now I can feel again
Now I can feel again
In the wilderness
Now I can feel again
Now I can feel again
Now I can feel again
Out of the wilderness

NO TURNING BACK
Music and Lyrics by Bruce Neilsen
City streets hard and cold
City people machinery roll
On and on and always grow
No turning back now
There’s no turning back now
There’s no turning
There’s no turning back
Houses dark and frightened trees
Lonely stillness, dying breeze
On and on, so hard to believe
No turning back now
There’s no turning back now
There’s no turning
There’s no turning back
Mad disciples of ideology
Tell you that it’s time you pleased
A different god each day it seems
Got to escape now
I’ve got to escape now
Got to
Got to escape
It’s all making me ill at ease
Try to make sense of it if you please
A different way each day it seems
Praying for the world
Praying for the world
Praying
Praying for the world
