hating myself for what I have done kicking myself to the curb honestly failing to realize I am no man of my word after further descriptions of evil schemes I’m cursing destructive, and evil means I’m so countercultural i see the scars drinking the water out of mason jars I bought this guitar at a front yard store playing in these strings till they work no more Oh I wanna be open to everything I wanna be open to everything but I don’t wanna be broken after nearly escaping myself again I start to talk to myself like my own best friend i call up my counsels and I realize I’m far more that I see with my four-eyes after properly picking myself back up I try to stitch up the wounds and act like I am tough another individual I tried to lament but he talked too much and now I am spent After thoroughly looking through all I’ve done I realize I’ve missed out and I’ve been dumb except your steadfast and wholesome love I would have reached my and given myself a shove

Hunger Pains 02:38
The Hunger Pains The hunger pains are here to tell me that this whole thing was over before it started and the sweet refrain of the ball and chain are telling me to prepare for the coming rain so put a good shoe on your left, a good shoe on your right you stand up and you sit down and you fight fight fight and always better wear your sunday best cause you’ll get the good job if you’re not well dressed The hunger pains are here to tell me that this whole thing was over before it started and the sweet refrain of the ball and chain are telling me to prepare for the coming rain put a good shoe on your left, a good shoe on your right you stand up and you sit down and you fight fight fight and you all better have your business card Cause if you’re not ready you won’t be a star and this can’t last, this can’t last forever and this can’t happen, happen to everyone one

Westside Blues The Westside blues aren't far from the southern hills The northwest winds are coming and giving me chills When the sun it shines When the sun it shines When the sun it shines for all the wrong reasons for all the wrong reasons Can there be equality when everybody I know is just like me? Can I learn to see things in new light? If there still condemnation and segregation in the social station Can we put our differences aside? When the sun it shines When the sun it shines When the sun it shines for all the wrong reasons for all the wrong reasons All my friends wanna move to the worst city west of the Mississippi I don't know? I don't know? All my friends wanna move to the worst city west of the Mississippi Now I know! Now I know! Context clues and social views gun fighting on the evening news Preaching at me till I finally see the light Context clues and social views gun fighting on the evening news Preaching at me till I finally see the light When the sun it shines When the sun it shines When the sun it shines for all the wrong reasons for all the wrong reasons

Social Equality Social equality such a dichotomy I can not find the right words Blinded by innocence not fearing anyone walking with great confidence Chosen by providence raised with such ignorance vindication I do seek Aware of my wickedness reminded all the time I have so far left to go Seeking enlightenment tactfully I refrain we are all free to exchange The ideas that correspond with all that we've done wrong we are all free to exchange

Photograph 01:44
Photograph we said we'd take a walk together then we got caught up typing out our words to friends we won't see soon enough the clock ticks past the hour now it's time to go to bed but you know that i'd love to stay and walk these streets instead and lover won't you please not let me go i've been meaning to show you i've been meaning to show you but the time has passed us by The memories of this time together won't last for too long see I can't remember the titles to my favorite songs the track listings and mixtapes have long since passed away as have the smiles and faces of my favorite memories made and lover won't you please not let me go i've been meaning to show you i've been meaning to show you but the time has passed us by

We Don’t Even Know When will the discussions finally turn to abuse and bullying and hurting your neighbor and not making friends and ignoring all pain that we see We don't even know We don't even know We don't even know what we've done If climbing the latter defines success I know I have stepped on someone When you're on the town and out with your friends and you think we should shake it off Well I hope we all find a better way where this pain inside us can be lost We don't even know We don't even know We don't even know what we've done If climbing the latter defines success I know I have stepped on someone so now we do pause and look at ourselves. and realize just what we have done without humble response without apology it’s how we have stepped on someone

More Money Than We Have More money than we have more money than we have Can’t wait for a day when everything is not More money than we have tried to pay the rent turned out all the money was spent tried to pay the bills guess I went to too many goodwills Wanted to buying a satellite tv Wanted to buying a vcr Wanted to buy an icecream sandwich but no money doesn’t go far Thought I would be rich and famous like all the famous tv stars instead i’m home doing the dishes and try to get sick all the mold out of my car

Death Is Overrated Life is complicated Death is overrated I’m just feeling jaded I think I just need some rest Walked downtown to the grocery store offered me a coffee if I needed some more I said no thanks I’ve already had enough but thanks for your hospitality, thanks for your hospitality Life is complicated Death is overrated I’m just feeling jaded I think I just need some rest Walked a few blocks then I turned around kids were making all those lemonade sounds pulled out a quarter and I bought a cup said thanks for your hospitality, thanks for your hospitality put on a movie and I fell asleep woke up to the sound of the door bell beat grateful to my ride when I was not late I said thanks for your hospitality, thanks for your hospitality

When I Call You Up Well I don't know much about LIFE or anything but I know that you've been through this before and I when I call you up you'll know just what to say to help me take one step more So I act now, act now and my head hangs low I'm calling but you won't come to the door and I ask why, ask why as the time stands still I hope I can one more step-up-the-hill

Goodbye Letter I had a friend who was turning 19 wrote a goodbye letter to his rock n' roll scene I said "I don't understand" and "I not agree" but as time's moving on that's starting to look like me I knew a girl not yet 21 she said "watch out world I'm gonna be someone" But she mourned her life instead of chasing her dreams and now she's calling me on holiday talking about pyramid schemes I had friends - some are gone Some have died - some just moved on They dance with the fire as they move along And to all I know, may hope stay strong There was the day on my lunch break my soul was shaking like an earthquake I was clinging to the rope of a greater fate as I was hiding in the basement hiding my past mistakes I had friends - some are gone Some have died - some just moved on They dance with the fire as they move along And to all I know, may hope stay strong we’ve all heard of the wrongly accused as social pressures try to find a muse they don’t talk fairly, the evening news and it just gets louder with the close held views I had friends - some are gone Some have died - some just moved on They dance with the fire as they move along And to all I know, may hope stay strong I knew a guy who was turning 19 wrote a goodbye letter to his rock n' roll scene I said "I don't understand" and "I not agree" but now life's moving on and that's starting to look like me

about

Elements of blues, punk and folk line the foundation of this rock and roll record. Written by an unemployed workaholic, Take Out The Trash covers the identity struggle between projecting a good image and actually being a kind person. The serious-but-hopeful lyrics are contrasted by a lighthearted beat, gang vocals and sometimes a kazoo, banjo or harmonica. Nate Allen (one half of the zany duo Destroy Nate Allen) is a white man in his 30's taking an stern look in the mirror, acknowledging privilege and pain, and inviting you to Take Out The Trash.
