I was flat broke
Down to my last toke
Hitchhiking up the lonely highway of life
Went off and left home
After months on my own
I came face to face with the lowest in strife
Should've known better
But Dad raised no quitter
Experience is the father of learning who are you
So I slunked into town
And Plunked my pride down
There I came nose to nose with a lesson or two
WALK BEFORE YOU TROT
ROPE BEFORE YOU KNOT
GET BEFORE YOU'RE GOT
AND IF YOU DON'T AIM,
YOU AIN'T GOT A SHOT
YEAH, IF YOU DON'T AIM
YOU AIN'T GOT A SHOT
YOU AIN'T GOT A SHOT
YOU AIN'T GOT A SHOT
There's no magic pill
You say what you will
Gotta put your back into it, take it on the chin
Learn to duck and dip
Keep a stiff upper lip
Better learn to suck it up and tuck it all in
You're down in the ruts
There ain't no shortcuts
You gotta plug away till all work gets done
Don't be a no starter
But learn to work smarter
Cause we all can hide but we sure can't run
WALK BEFORE YOU TROT
ROPE BEFORE YOU KNOT
GET BEFORE YOU'RE GOT
AND IF YOU DON'T AIM,
YOU AIN'T GOT A SHOT
YEAH, IF YOU DON'T AIM
YOU AIN'T GOT A SHOT
YOU AIN'T GOT A SHOT
YOU AIN'T GOT A SHOT

NEW AGE MACHINE
"NEW AGE MACHINE" wins Runner Up Placement for Song of the Year demo by Marc Kennedy.
Thanks to Marc Kennedy for his work on putting together the demo.
I've been running on two hours sleep
My income is low and my debts are steep
My income is low and my debts are steep
And I'm becoming just part of the machine
It's point and click and click and drag
It's brainless but I don't mean to brag
Because the mind has to forget to feel
And the body needs nerves of steel
ITS THE NEW AGE,
ITS ALL THE RAGE
BUT WE'RE LIVING BACKSTAGE
IT'S THE NEW WAY,
TO SEIZE THE DAY
BUT WE'LL ALL GO ANYWAY
ITS THE NEW AGE,
ITS ALL THE RAGE
BUT WE'RE LIVING BACKSTAGE
IT'S THE NEW WAY,
TO SEIZE THE DAY
BUT WE'LL ALL GO ANYWAY
I've been running at double speed
My wheels are torn but they don't bleed
My heart of neon has no way to tell
If this is heaven or if this is hell
Super vitamins and power boosters
They can make chickens out of roosters
Its a new age of contradictions
But everyone pays for their addictions
ITS THE NEW AGE,
ITS ALL THE RAGE
BUT WE'RE LIVING BACKSTAGE
IT'S THE NEW WAY,
TO SEIZE THE DAY
BUT WE'LL ALL GO ANYWAY
ITS THE NEW AGE,
ITS ALL THE RAGE
BUT WE'RE LIVING BACKSTAGE
IT'S A NEW WAY,
TO SEIZE THE DAY
BUT WE'LL ALL DIE EITHER WAY
