Grim Reality

[j$]

Grim Reality by mister Johnny Cashpoint

Twenty years of life plays harsh on
Making one’s libido last, we
Only do it in the dark - It’s
Time we lovers found new spark, so

Close your eyes where you can see
All your sexual fantasies, but
Here’s the grim reality -
Open up your eyes, see me, just me, yes, me!

Put on costume, wear a mask? Well,
All you had to do was ask!
Whatever helps complete my task - to
Knock your balls right out the park; please

Close your eyes so you might see
Ryan Gosling, George Clooney, but
Sadly, grim reality -
Open them again, still me, just me. Sorry!

In your head- close as you’ll be
To your sexual fantasies.
In bed - grim reality
There is only me, me, me!

Fantasies are fine by me, I
Love you, though it’s plain to see George
Clooney you will never be! I
Close my eyes and dream of me , just me, lone me.

Balance Lost

This ain't no walk in the park
It gets dark pretty soon
And no-one gives a damn about you
Count on that, it's a set-back
It might seem bleak
It's a stone cold fact

I remember getting paid 'cause I had a job once
Sent 50 CVs but I got no response
So back down the JC+, join a line
Sign a form, make a call, just a waste of my time
Beans for tea, 3rd night in a row
Toast for breakfast. Got jam? Hell no.
I can't complain, it's food in my belly
No radio 'cause they repossessed the telly
Which is fine 'cause the programmes are lacking morality
Vacuous dickheads craving celebrity
Brevity, looks and, above all things, money
I've been to Philadelphia, it's ain't fucking sunny
Somebody somewhere's getting way overpaid
I'd sell my mother on Ebay just for minimum wage
Buddy, lend us a quid for a bottle or two
It's a slippery slope, could it happen to you?

This ain't no walk in the park
It gets dark pretty soon
And no-one gives a damn about you
Count on that, it's a set-back
It might seem bleak
It's a stone cold fact

I won't put on a voice or affect an accent
This ain't Raekwon or Dre, I'm a white guy from Chatham
Not straight outta Compton or raised in the streets
So get the fuck over yourselves and listen to the beat
There's a wave of hatred sweeping
Through Eurasia and I'm keeping
My hopes up these right-wing arseholes
Change their ways or be humiliated at the polls
I don't care much for religion
But we all should be free from derision
To quote Voltaire "I detest what you say
But defend your right to say it" anyway
The excrement's hitting the air-con in Syria
People who wouldn't think twice about killing you
Trade your imaginary friends in for oil
The spoils of war, slip off this mortal coil

This ain't no walk in the park
It gets dark pretty soon
And no-one gives a damn about you
Count on that, it's a set-back
It might seem bleak
It's a stone cold fact

For Song Fight

(Her side)
Once upon a time I used to dream that I would find
A knight in shining armor who would come and rescue me
So I sat within my tower, growing older by the hour
Till I saw that fairy tales are not like grim reality

I kissed my last frog that day-
If a prince comes by to find me
Tell him I went away!

(Chorus)
I’m moving on! Now I’m just looking for a friend
Who I can talk to, share a meal with
And converse
He doesn’t have to be a prince- just not a jerk or something worse
It seems that happily ever after isn’t in my cards
Just want a guy to be my friend- is that so hard?

I thought I’d find a lady fair with ruby lips and golden hair
Who’d wait for me to climb her stair
And kill the dragon bold
But lips today are painted on, and all the ladies fair have gone
To get their roots touched up, meanwhile
I think I’m getting old


There’s no towers left for me
If a princess is in trouble
Have her call NYPD!

(Chorus)
I’m moving on! Now I’m just looking for a friend
Who I can talk to, share a meal with
And converse
A princess isn’t necessary-just someone nice who doesn’t curse
It seems that happily ever after isn’t in my cards
Just want a girl to be my friend- is that so hard?

(her) Yeah, reality is grim
(him)I know exactly what you mean
(her) you’re not prince charming- but you’re better then a frog
(him)Well you’re no princess! But at least you’re not a witch…
(her) Ya wanna bet?
(him) ribbit ribbit ribbit
(both) laugh

I’m moving on
I’m just looking for a friend
Someone to talk to
Share a meal with
(both) and converse
Since we both are moving on
Would you like to go with me?
(both) It won’t be happily ever after…
But it could be worse
But it could be worse
But it could be worse

Grim Reality by Jerkatorium

The birds I've known have flown away,
The flocks have packed their boxes for the winter,
But they were never meant to stay,
You, on the other hand, are choosing your own,
Drifting your own way.

The Santa Anas come and go,
They're sweeping dust and smog out to the ocean,
They fan the wildfires when they blow,
Now doesn't that remind you of someone, yes,
Someone we both know?

A killing frost, a falling star,
And there you are, my grim reality,
A whiff of smoke, the sirens near,
Then you appear, my grim reality.

The San Andreas fault's so close,
The ground below is always shifting, moving,
They say someday it might explode,
Now doesn't that remind you of someone, yes
Someone we both know?

A tragic end to truth or dare,
And you are there, my grim reality,
A lightning bolt cuts through the rain,
And you remain my grim reality.
This is my grim reality.
