lyrics

I’ve been lookin’ through my fingers
I’ve been seein’ how the bad blood lingers
I go out and take a walk ‘til the anger goes away
But it doesn’t go away
It doesn’t go away
It just turns into something sick and churning
Filling up my stomach and it sits there burning
With the other lumps of coal and the things I’m frightened of
Until there’s no more room for trust
And there’s no more room for love

Sad, mad, or nothin’
Sad, mad, or nothin’
Got a dozen bloody fist prints paintin’ the wall
Sad, mad, or nothin’ at all
Sad, mad, nothin’ at all

Outside there’s a half a billion people
Caught between the bottle and the needle and the steeple
Lookin’ for a light lookin’ for an easy way
But there ain’t no easy way
No, there ain’t no easy way
There’s just a hole in the shape of the future
Floatin’ in the ether bleeding from the suture
I can see it from my window suckin’ up the light
I can see it in the corner in the middle of the night

Sad, mad, nothin’
Sad, mad, nothin’
Got a dozen bloody fist prints paintin’ the wall
Sad, mad, or nothin’ at all

Another year
Hot summer
A little older
A lot dumber
So tear it down
We need the lumber
Ain’t nothin’ changed but a goddamn number

Sad, mad, nothin’
Sad, mad, nothin’
Got a dozen bloody fist prints paintin’ the wall
Sad, mad, or nothin’ at all
Got a dozen bloody fist prints paintin’ the wall
Sad, mad, or nothin’ at all
Sad, mad, nothin’ at all

about

Tod Weidner Ojai, California

One of those singer/songwriter types your mama warned you about, Tod Weidner has embarked upon a long awaited solo career after decades as a fixture on the Ohio music scene. Tod founded and led Dayton mainstays Shrug and was a member of Motel Beds and many other notable groups, to boot. He serves up songs with the ragged, passionate musical heart of a rocker and the wordsmithery of a Beat poet. ... more
