Here's Carnival, I think this is one of the 13 better songs on the Motor 
City Ska album (14 if you count the hidden track).

Try chewing on the bread of life it's what's for dinner.

So I gotta stand my ground, gotta hold the fort,  
Dm6                                  B                     D 
gotta pray hard because life's too short.

Spirit tastes great but the world's less filling.

You can be all you can be but you gotta be willing.

Said the operator's standing by, he's waiting for your call.

Verse 2: 
      Dm6                        B                      D 
I've tried it on my own I can't just do it. 
       Dm6                                    
But now I'm in good hands  
         B                                          D 
and I know He'll see me through it. 
Dm6                                   B                       D 
If you can't say this get a piece of the rock. 
          Dm6                    
I said time is runing out -- TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK. 
Dm6                                         B                           D 
Many times in life I say you're gonna take a lickin', 
               Dm6                 
but when Jesus Christ has your back,  
                                   B       D 
You're gonna keep on tickin'. 
        Dm6                                            B                       D 
Said tickin' like a time bomb that's waiting to explode. 
Dm6                                                                       B            D 
Without pain and streets of gold is where you're gonna go. 
 

Dm6  B  D (8X) 
 
                E   G   D   C

I guess that's the whole song so I hope it's good enough for you... I 
should have the hidden track down pretty soon so hang in there. 
 
Keep on skankin' everybody.
