    Story Behind the Song
    This song was originally intended for a split 7 inch with a band called Ringer from Austin, Tx. Basically the record label who was supposed to release it kind of flaked on us, so it was never released. This is actually two seperate songs linked together. The first is basically an instrumental track with a spoken word part added. The song is called "Crime Doesn't Pay Taxes." The second song is called "Just Go Away" and is actually a rock version of "Would You Like a Brochure."

    Lyrics
    Crime Doesn't Pay Taxes

    When I was 10 they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up and for once I knew, I seriously knew. I wanted to be a career criminal. My life of crime, it started small. I borrowed a cup of sugar from my neighbor that I never returned. I ran with scissors. I pulled a girl's hair. I cussed in chuch. It was serious. When I stole my first candy bar, I knew there was no turning back. I was hardcore. A thug. Streetwise. It would take more than McGruff to take a bite out of me. And yet, I stopped. The urge to steal was gone. What's mine was mine, and what's yours... well you could keep it chump. I'm 21 now and three years slaving away for corporate America, I feel something reawakening inside me. Yesterday I made some long distance calls from my desk at work. I stole a stapler and some paper clips. I claimed six dependents on my tax return. I sped everywhere. I even stole the chords in this song. "I may be bad, but I feel good."

    Just Go Away

    Just go away
    Away from me
    You shouldn't stay
    Here with me
    If I leave today
    Then I'd be free
    Just go away
    Away from me

    And I've already let you down
    In more ways than I care to count
    Will I ever want you found
    It's not worth finding out

    And I don't want to try to give
    Or live with you ever again
    And I don't want to buy into the lie
    You try to call a friend

    I just want to say while you strayed
    To stay and play the field
    My feet touched the ground you found
    I've drowned in what I felt was real

    Just go away
    Away from me
    You shouldn't stay
    Here with me
    If I leave today
    Then I'd be free
    Just go away
    Away from me

    And I've already let you down
    In more ways than I care to count
    Will I ever want you found
    It's not worth finding out

    And I don't want to hear you're near
    I fear for how I might react
    And I don't want to see you be
    So free if ever I come back

    And I'm no slave to what I gave
    Save for the grave you put me in
    But there's no way you'll ever say
    I'll stay buried in your arms again

    Just go away
    Away from me
    You shouldn't stay
    Here with me
    If I leave today
    Then I'd be free
    Just go away
    Away from me
