LUCAS CARPENTER ART KIDS

New song, from the album “The Hopeless Romantics of Modern Day America” out in 2013!

The news man shouts
“Our youth is lost”
So I do my part 
& shut the TV off
Cause he’s causing worries by spinning stories
& selling us delusion 
So this is our revolution
This is our revolution

I tore up my yard 
With a shovel & some seeds
Grew a garden 
Cause I’m sick of what they’re feeding to me
While Monsanto do their best to
Outsmart us & evolution
This is our revolution
This is our revolution

This is our revolution 
It might be a bit more subtle 
Sweeping up the broken bits
Of a nation’s burst bubble
& who knows if we’ll figure out 
Some ultimate solution
But this is our, this is our, this is our revolution
This is our revolution

With rainbow ribbons 
We march downtown
Cause our brothers & sisters 
Are getting beat down
By hatred never stated by Jesus
Or the constitution 
So this is our revolution
This is our revolution

Alone in a booth
I cast one vote
For an underdog
Barely anybody knows
You can blame my generation’s un-education
On boredom or confusion, NO…
This is our revolution
This is our revolution

Like a new born baby sighs
The world starts changing
As we each open up our eyes

Lucas Carpenter - Our Revolution

New album, “The Hopeless Romantics of Modern Day America” out in 2013!

Lucas Carpenter - Little Bit Loved Out

Little do you know I knew you were gonna wear that sundress 

And that I’m using a giftcard I got from my ex-girlfriend’s parents 

You look into my eyes and claim you’ve never met someone like me

Well I hate to break it to you girl, there’s others like you in this world

You’re not as quirky as you think

Now I’m a little bit loved out

Just trying to figure out

Why I go through this routine again and again

Its like they all blend together into one girlfriend 

When I’m a little bit loved out

No different this time around

Once you put yourself through what I put myself through

Then pretty soon you’d be a little bit loved out too

Its not your fault I’m drawn to cute creative girls like you

And that I love the feeling of falling off a pedestal 

You’ve got life figured out wrapped up in your homemade scarf

With a naive sense of confidence, a little independent feminist

But you take your daddy issues out on your art…

Guess you could say that I’m a little bit loved out

Just trying to figure out

Why I go through this routine again and again

Its like they all blend together into one girlfriend 

When I’m a little bit loved out

No different this time around

Once you put yourself through what I put myself through

Then pretty soon you’d be a little bit loved out too

And I bet you love Garden State

Sufjan Stevens, and cupcakes

And you never, never, never go this far on a first date

Never, never, never go this far on a first date

Never, never, never go this far on a first date

Now I’m a little bit loved out

Just trying to figure out

Why I go through this routine again and again

Its like they all blend together into one girlfriend 

When I’m a little bit loved out

No different this time around

Once you put yourself through what I put myself through

Then pretty soon you’d be a little bit loved out too

Lucas Carpenter - Where’s Your Crazy?

We’ve been seeing each other for a while

Beautiful from your humor to your style

My friends all love you and say its meant to be

Mature and stable, whip smart and always sexy

You got me paranoid 

What’s the catch?

We’ve all got baggage 

And you’re way more normal than the rest 

You’re way too normal…so I gotta ask

Where’s your crazy, baby?

Where’s your crazy, baby?

You know we’ve all got a little

All got a little

You always play it cool when we see my ex

Saying “she’s so wonderful, I could see us being best friends”

You love your family and they love you back

No childhood trauma just your mama with home movies and snacks

You’re damn near perfect

So somethings gotta be up

You’re everything I’ve wanted

But I’m starting to go nuts

You say “what’s the fuss?”…come on…

Where’s your crazy, baby?

Where’s your crazy, baby?

You know we’ve all got a little

All got a little

Where’d you get that outfit

Are you a kleptomaniac?

I’ve never met your ex-boyfriends

Are they buried somewhere outback?

Yeah, let’s not walk down that dimly lit path

Where’s your crazy, baby?

Where’s your crazy, baby?

You know we’ve all got a little

All got a little

Lucas Carpenter - This Is Showbiz

A politician autographs the Times

Outside a tour bus w/her name on the side

Runnin on money and her sugar coated TV show

Trying not to step on any toes or else she’ll drop in the polls

Got a flag and an acting coach

Cause we all need a hero

And our nation tunes in 

Watching from coast to coast

Its a lot like American Idol

But a lot less people vote

This Is Showbiz

This Is Showbiz

This Is Showbiz

This Is Show Business 

The pastor preaches over a headset mic

He’s got a projector, the Way, the Truth, & Highlights 

Got a multimillion dollar church in the works

And a missions trip to Mexico to spread the Word

Gotta help those in need, which reminds me

Don’t forget your sunscreen

Now the band sets the mood

Confessing members start to cry

Please pray for all these broken people

And don’t forget to pick up your T-shirt outside

This Is Showbiz

This Is Showbiz

This Is Showbiz

This Is Show Business 

Maybe we’re too dumb to notice

Or broke beyond repair 

But as long as its entertaining

Does anybody even care?

This Is Showbiz

This Is Showbiz

This Is Showbiz

This Is Show Business

Lucas Carpenter - Mr. Whoever You Are (Cover)

Lucas Carpenter - You Bring Me Back

I used to spot the joys in life

But slowly entered Father Time

Wisdom was lost in pride

And I got tired

Then you came with hazel eyes 

That saw the world as one surprise

Open up and look inside 

Now I realize

You always hold me together 

Whenever I crack

Jaded and fading 

Hating the things that I lack

But you look into my eyes 

Tell me its alright 

Knowing that this moment will pass

You bring me back

Looking at these kids today

Like an old man through a windowpane

Bitter and always sayin

“Back in my day

We would never act that way”

But I’m clouded by the dues I’ve paid

Jealous and gone astray 

What a waste

You always hold me together 

Whenever I crack

Jaded and fading 

Hating the things that I lack

But you look into my eyes 

Tell me its alright 

Knowing that this moment will pass

You bring me back

Lucas Carpenter - Tiny Fortress

Your mom and dad laid the mortar 

Building you a tiny fortress 

That I can’t penetrate no matter how hard I try

They missed some hugs and birthday parties

On holidays drank one too many

So you began to barricade, blocking out the nightly fights

But I wanna break you down, I wanna break you down

I wanna break you down, I wanna break you down

Break down all the walls built inside

Wrapped around your heart and mind

Love is patient, Love is kind, Love will be the dynamite 

We’ll blow it to bits, blow it to bits, blow it to bits

This tiny fortress 

You got cheated on by a couple of boyfriends

Stacked a few bricks on the tiny fortress 

Crushing your trust with the best intensions every time

With the softest eyes you let them march in

Let down your guard, set down the drawbridge

Attacked by a Trojan horse, retreat back and fortify 

But I wanna break you down, I wanna break you down

I wanna break you down, I wanna break you down

Break down all the walls built inside

Wrapped around your heart and mind

Love is patient, Love is kind, Love will be the dynamite 

We’ll blow it to bits, blow it to bits, blow it to bits

This tiny fortress

Your mom and dad laid the mortar 

Building you a tiny fortress 

That I can’t penetrate no matter how hard I try
