LYRICS:
I lament the times of days long past, it as all good, but the world moves so fast. And now it drags on, and when the luxuries are all gone, are you able to deliver when you're called upon. It seems we've got to settle and live with what we've got. Even if you're living out of a car in a parking lot, or crashing on a couch through the kindness of a friend. It seems ridiculous to sit through this and still pretend that we live the dream, that we're making cream. But on a closer look, what you see ain't what it seems, because in reality, we're barely able to get buy. And if you let it, they will keep you there until you die. Yet its worth a try, and if you make the mark, but if you miss it then you're back to living in the dark, without the cash to put a bulb in the socket. Get a loan from a drone, now you're back in their pocket. My expense is low, but the price is high, and though I'm working hard, it's getting harder to get buy. Living modestly, delegating every cent. And still a match to scratch the cash enough to pay for rent. Despite the aggravation, you set a destination. So now it's back to school to try and get an education. I could study hard, but what do I see? A hundred fifty bucks a textbook! You've got to be kidding me.
CHORUS:
I don't give a fuck and I don't pay taxes, I got medicaid prescription glasses. Wanna buy some lortab, 5 bucks a piece. The doctor gave em to me when I lost my wisdom teeth. A leader will deceive you everytime you hear em speak. And keep you in the gutter, I've been starving for a week. So listen to my story, if you got the time. Hey and by the way, Brother can you spare a dime.
Verse 2
I'm not a victim, just a product of environment. I know my father's gonna work through his retirement. I know my mother's gonna live out her days thanking god for any job paying minimum wage. I know there's no chance of any assurance. No doctor visits, no health insurance, PIP or dental, my furniture is rental. My dinner is a winner, ramen noodles, oriental. My life is detrimental, but what can you do? If you understand the lyrics then you're feeling this too. And they say that we can make a difference, but you gotta ask. Why it is that every politician wears a mask. Why it is that every president's the same and yet we get so patriotic when we're playing the game. But if you dont give a fuck, then fuck it. And if you do, whatever you do is just another drop in the bucket.

LYRICS:
I'm just your poor narrator
I've got no stories to tell
I speak on no one's behalf
for all the things that I left
before my final farewell
We all just want to be happy
in a world of our own
I can change what I do
but its better for you
just to leave me alone
I'm not your ordinary stranger
we both got nothing to say
you walk right past when we meet in the street
pretending everything is okay
but you don't know me do you
yeah, i bet it's none of your concern
and at the end of the day
you take home what you earn
chorus:
In the land of the Plenty
we all just want to be free
see god don't have no say around here
and you can do just what you please
A quarter wheat for a penny
we go by what we know
and we live this lie until the day we die
when the devil come and take our soul
verse 2
give me my barley
give me my gold
give me my piece of the dream,
piece of your life,
piece of your mind
give me my car dealer,
give me my competition corner store
I want sixteen women on the day I day
and then I want sixteen more
chorus again

LYRICS:
There's an old tradition a game we all can play it starts by getting liquored up and sharpening your blade
You take a shot of whiskey and grab your knife and pray and you spread apart your fingers and this is what you say!
Oh I have all my fingers the knife goes chop chop chop and if I miss the spaces between my finger the blood will soon come out
But all the same I play the game cause that's what it's all about
No you can't use a pencil you can't use a pen the only way to is with a knife when danger is your friend
Some may call it stupid some may call it dumb
But all the same we play the game because it's so damn fun
Oh I have all my fingers and the knife goes chop chop chop and if I miss the spaces between my fingers the blood will soon come out
Because that's what it's all about
Oh chop chop chop chop chop chop I'm picking up the speed and if you hit one of your fingers your hand will start to bleed

This is a song I wrote about two people falling in love in an insane asylum. I had a lot of fun writing this and adding in references to movies that inspired it. The title is in reference to Bellevue psychiatric hospital in New York.
here are the things that inspired the lyrics:
"...my baby's locked in room 101" -1984
"...a little dab'll do ya..." - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (the scene when they are applying conductant)
"...the spider eats the fly, the bird eats the spider" - R.M. Renfield in Bram Stoker's Dracula
I hope you enjoy the original!

LYRICS:
Some songs are happy
Some songs are sad
Some songs are really well rehearsed
And other songs are bad
Well some songs are angry
And some songs are sweet
Some songs are made to help you wake up in the morning
Well heres a little song to help you go back to sleep…
Chorus
There isn't any God and when you die you're just dead
And heaven's just a fairy tale to put you to bed
Sometimes I think about the chance that I'm wrong
But then I close my eyes and sing the words to this song
There isn't any God and when you die you're just dead
And heaven's just a fairy tale to put you to bed
There aint nobody watching us cause nobody cares
and In the end we're living all alone
Verse 2
If I could live forever
Id do it if I could
leave it all behind everything that I've done
Its almost just as bad as if its never begun
If I was a believer
Lord knows Ive tried
Well I could be at peace when I close my eyes
And I could go to heaven on the day that I die
Chorus
Bridge
Love doesn't matter cause you die in the end
Money doesn't matter cause you die in the end
Life doesn't matter cause you die in the end
But its really never over, no its really never over

Lyrics:
Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you
'Cause falling in love just makes me blue,
Well the music plays and you display
your heart for me to see,
I had a beer and now I hear
you calling out for me
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.
Well the room is crowded, there's people everywhere
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
Well if you sit down with this old clown,
take that frown and break it,
Before the evening's gone away,
I think that we could make it,
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.
I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
and it being late, you'd like some some company,
Well I've had two, I look at you,
and you look back at me,
The guy you're with has up and split,
the chair next to you's free,
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.
Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout.
Turn around to look at you,
you're nowhere to be found,
I search the place for your lost face,
guess I'll have another round
And I think that I just fell in love with you.

LYRICS
It’s kinda hard being a bum in this town, where the kids run wild, running all around,
We go by behind without a sound, and we all got stories to tell,
Put a penny in the cup, you might hear us moan,
Im just a dollar short of catching the Grey Hound home,
and God bless you sir, you won’t see me no more,
cause Ill be drunk behind the Jiffy store,
But I’m gonna get straight if it’s the last thing I can bare,
I’d get my life together if someone would care,
And if I should die before my time is through,
Tell all the people who I was.
On a bench, sour stench, clutching my booze,
a pair of swiss cheese socks and tore up shoes,
whiskey breath, dumpster chef, next to taco bell,
I dropped my aspirations down a wishing well,
Drunkin stance, piss my pants, piano key teeth,
All these things will blind you from the man beneath,
I’m not a fool, I been to school, I’ve read Sun Tzu,
You see us bums are people too.
So I’m back in jail, I can’t make bail, I get my three square meals,
Oh, how I’ve forgotten how a bed and pillow feels,
I’ll take a breath, there’s nothing left,
I lay my head, the bible said,
“To all those weary I will give you rest”
But I’m gonna get straight if it’s the last thing I can bare,
I’d get my life together if someone would care,
And if I should die before my time is through,
Tell all the people who I was.
On the streets, where I sleep, Bullet is my name,
You see, I lost my wife and child and the whiskey is to blame,
So I been teaching gospels to the crazies on the curb,
Among all these people I’ll achieve my fame,
Cause I can’t get a job cause the dirt on my face,
I can’t find no food or a resting place,
I ain’t a bad guy, Lord knows I try,
And I’ll probably rot here in the ally where I die,
I’m gonna get straight if it’s the last thing I can bare,
I’d get my life together if someone would care,
And if I should die before my time is through,
Tell all the people who I was.

Lyrics:
Some people make it a habit of not working on the sabbath, waking up the next morning to pray. and whether it be a life revision, or a color television, thanking jesus they'll receive it one day. some people pull their optimism over their eyes just pretending that they know what to do, and I know im slightly rusty, girl youre gonna have to trust me, keep a realistic point of view.
Well scarcely can I blame them cause its hard enough to name them but you see them everyday on TV . So take a walk with me and understand whose in command and let it pan the left and the right, sufficient tonight, omniscient I might, keep you in my sight. don't let yourself slip, tossing in the dice starts with losing your grip. So forsake your only baby maybe you can get away before the sun begins to pick up the dew, woman keep it in your vision its a hard enough decision keep a realistic point of view
If you're leaving my sight, you had better open your eyes, and take my hand by the end of the night. If I should ever lay you down, lay you down
Rap
Its as simple as at monasteries, clasping your hands, living life a loading level prior to the promise land, so my man, stop the waiting and debating "whats next?". perplexed and yes the entire situations a mess, so progress, finesse, final insinuation whats left, and the best i guess i missed, wait, I lift it, the tide that drifts it may not fix it, for fear of fierce fire fury fights for the wicks, kid. triple six did the trick to shatter the brain and sustain the painful knowledge that the future will bring, yea but (you know) i say fuck it, do what though wilt. not opposed to all the choices that Iscariot felt. consider this a warning, you'll envision by the morning but its better just to think it through. with your pupils dilated and your mind on what i stated keep a realistic point of view.
bridge:
poor jesus, mother mary, heavens closed today
saint peter, saint peter, turn my soul away
mother mary, poor jesus, let us try again
holy father, spirit within, send another son to us to die for our sin

This is a song I wrote about two people falling in love in an insane asylum. I had a lot of fun writing this and adding in references to movies that inspired it. The title is in reference to Bellevue psychiatric hospital in New York.
here are the things that inspired the lyrics:
"...my baby's locked in room 101" -1984
"...a little dab'll do ya..." - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (the scene when they are applying conductant)
"...the spider eats the fly, the bird eats the spider" - R.M. Renfield in Bram Stoker's Dracula
I hope you enjoy the original!

Hybrid Moments ( The Misfits ) - Rusty Cage
http://rustycage.bandcamp.com
http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/blues-gospels-whathaveyous/id464980003?uo=4
I have been planning to do a cover by the misfits for some time now, but just finally decided to grab the ukulele and do it. Hybrid Moments is possibly my favorite song by them so I didnt have to think too hard about which one. Last Caress was also up there. Glen Danzig is one of my favorite singers and Im sorry that I cant do him justice by covering one of his songs. But! hope you enjoy. Happy Halloween

Cocaine Blues (Ukulele Cover) by Rusty Cage
"Cocaine Blues" written by Luke Jordan. Ukulele cover by Rusty Cage
Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/rustycage
Hey everybody, here is another cover I just learned. I hear all different versions of cocaine blues, From Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan, to Keith Richards and Reverend Gary Davis. Though my favorite version remains that of Townes Van Zandt's, This one is the most fun to play. I believe this version of the song was originally recorded by Luke Jordan and some guy named Dick Justice , but I first heard it from David Bromberg about a month back. I dont know why I used a ukulele but it just felt right. Hope everyone enjoys it!

Rusty Cage - Pancho and Lefty (Townes Van Zandt)
"Pancho and Lefty" by Townes Van Zandt, Cover by Rusty Cage
I first heard Pancho and Lefty when my father played it back in the day. I never knew who it was until my sister once told me to look up Townes Van Zandt , to which I was greatly happy that I did. The way he sings it , in my opinion, is much better than you will hear Willy Nelson, Merle Haggard, or even Bob Dylan sing it. Their versions are good, but they just cant fully compare to the emotion Van Zandt puts into it. I hope to one day write a song as good as this one.

Lyrics:
Living on the road my friend
Was gonna keep you free and clean
Now you wear your skin like iron
Your breath's as hard as kerosene
You weren't your mama's only boy
But her favorite one it seems
She began to cry when you said goodbye
And sank into your dreams
Pancho was a bandit boys
His horse was fast as polished steel
Wore his gun outside his pants
For all the honest world to feel
Pancho met his match you know
On the deserts down in Mexico
Nobody heard his dying words
That's the way it goes
All the federales say
They could have had him any day
They only let him hang around
Out of kindness I suppose
Lefty he can't sing the blues
All night long like he used to
The dust that Pancho bit down south
Ended up in Lefty's mouth
The day they laid poor Pancho low
Lefty split for Ohio
Where he got the bread to go
There ain't nobody knows
All the federales say
They could have had him any day
They only let him slip away
Out of kindness I suppose
The poets tell how Pancho fell
Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold
So the story ends we're told
Pancho needs your prayers it's true,
But save a few for Lefty too
He just did what he had to do
Now he's growing old
A few gray federales say
They could have had him any day
They only let him go so wrong
Out of kindness I suppose
Rusty Cage
