Also, These two song titles appeared in the XPress interview as songs probably appearing on the August 'soundtrack' album:

Possible lyrics to "Wake Up, Dead Man": "Jesus, Jesus help me, I'm alone in this world and a fucked up world it is too...Jesus, I'm waiting here boss. I know you're looking out for us but maybe your hands aren't free. Your father who made us the world in seven, he's in charge of heaven, could you put a good word in for me..."
