I Don't Need Society
Your numbers up you have to go
The system say's "I told you so"
Stocked in a train like a truckload of cattle
Sent off to slaughter in a useless battle
Thousands of us sent off to die
Never really knowing why
Fuck the system they can have me
I don't need society
I don't need society

Before you know it you're in he corp
Grab your gear boy you're off to war
Stocked in a train like a truckload of cattle
Sent off to slaughter in a useless battle
Thousands of us sent off to die
Never really knowing why
Fuck the system they can have me
I don't need society
I don't need society

You were an apple pie clone living at home
Never straying to far from your phone
Now son make it through enemy lines
You must hurry there's not much time
Made it sir. They're gonna drop the bomb
No time to evacuate,they'll call our moms
Fuck the system,they can't have me
I don't need society
I don't need sociery



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Commuter Man
I play Pac-Man and I watch T.V.
I'm so happy 'cause it pleases me
I couldn't really ask for anything else
Maybe my own chain of Taco Bells

I'm perfectly happy right where I am
I could live forever in a taffic jam
It doesn't really bother me to breath the poison air
I'd choke anyway,I don't really care

Sometimes I think about getting away for a while
But when I return I will be out of style
You may say I'm not an ambitious man
But let me tell you I've got some plans
Like there's a new car I wanna buy
And a video cassette recorder yet I'm not sure why
I wanna get married and have three kids
'Cause I'm lonely and I've got the hard dick
Commuter Man



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Plastique
I think of things that bring people down
I'm the type of person no one wants around
Everyone stares at me wherever I go
They all suck,what do they know?
They're living inside a designer world
A fresh and clean pretty little world
Reality to them is a new pair of shoes
And trying ten pair before they choose

I think of things that bring people down
Out of the clouds and back to the ground
Where the fish lie belly up in black water
Where the boy next door is fucking your dog
Your living inside a plastique world
Slick and modern pseudo world
Where what you want is what you get
Package after package of plastique shit



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Why?
Sitting around watching T.V.
Taking it slow,taking it easy
Wanting to buy,wanting to hide
And I'm wondering,wondering,wondering why.
Why is the word I want to hear
Why is the word the government fears
Why does the governmnt fucking lie
I'm wondering,wondering,wondering why



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Balance of Terror
They've known all along
Since the first time they dropped the bomb
They saw the power
Everyone knew it was time to stop
But they could not
Well I've seen the sign
I know it's time
To shed a tear
To draw the line
But they can't stop now 'cause it's too late
The end is near and they can't wait

Balance of power
Balance of terror
We're in this too deep
To correct our error

A communist plan,it's all a plot
And you're a part of it if you think your not
We had an hour,now we've got a minute
You can't hide now,we're all in it.

Balance of power
Balance of terror
We're in this too deep
To correct our error

Nobody rules,nobody wins
When there is no Earth,to you my friends
We've got a chance if we make a stand
Join the rulers or join a band
Balance of power balance of terror
Balance of power balance of terror
Balance of power balance of terror
Someone calls a bluff and we're finished



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


My Fate to Hate
It's m fate to hate
I realized but way too late
It's my fate to hate
Now I have a reason why
It's my fat to hate--You!

Is fate a lasting emotion?
If so I sure am blind
A misdirected maniac
A misdirected mind--No!
It's my fate to hate--You!

Now I don't need a reason why
Don't need a reason why
A reason why.....a reason why



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Who Am I?
Who am I
D.R.I.
Who am I?
Three simple words
Who am I?
A human being
Who am I?
This weird thing
Who am I?
Not what I seem



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Money Stinks
I stayed at homw today
And I'm not going back to work
Money Stinks..Money Stinks
This city stinks
Smell the power,smell the health
Smell the poverty of Americas wealth
Money smells of evil,greed
Capitolist wants and pumped up needs

Money stinks
Money stinks
This city stinks

Smell the logic..Smell the jet planes
The dangerous goals and crooked aims
Smell the progress..Smell the dirty money
Smells like shit,this isn't funny

Money stinks
Money stinks
This city stinks

Nobody cares about the air we breath
Nobody cares about the air we need
Smell the profit,smell the success
Smell the dying dream of the mighty west
Smell the factories,smell all the cars
The adult book stores and the topless bars
Smell the pretty people,smell their false pity
Smell the broken promise of the living city
Smell the real reason,smell,smell the one way plan
The real estate,the desperate,state of modern man
Smell the excess,smell the death
Smell the wet dream of this human mess



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Human Waste
Managers and engineers build machines
To steal your dreams
Take a taste of human waste
Farting,belching in your face
Take a taste
Take a taste
Take a taste
Of human waste,farting ,belching in your face

Managers and engineers build machines
To steal your dreams
Take a taste of human waste
Farting,belching in your face
Human Waste
Human Waste
Human Waste
Take a taste,farting,belching in your face
Take a taste of farting,belching human waste
In your face



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Yes Ma'am
Teacher moves me from seat to seat
All I do is talk
Teacher may I use the bathroom please?
Yes,it's an emergency

Teacher makes me take my test first
I'll take your test
Trapped inside this hourglass
Thoughts of CRASS
I'll give you the answers you want to hear
But I won't conform
Unlike my mindless vacant peers
They're the norm

Finished,may I use the bathroom please?
Yes,still an emergency
Come on,cut me slack
Promise I'll be right back
Just let me go this one last time
And I'll never ask again
Teacher,really,really



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dennis' Problem
My moms upset,my dads uptight
Don't like my music,they say it isn't right
Don't like my haircut,they call me a dyke
They send me to a shrink twice a week
He tells my mom I'm a fucking freak
Dreaming scary dreams
Wondering whatthey mean
Living down under deep in never ending waking sleep
When will this end?
Or has it even begun
I love the moon
And I hate the sun



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Closet Punk
You think your real cool
Starting fights at school
And writing stupid lines like "Anarchy Rules"
You don't even know what anarchy is
You never will and you never did
You're a closet punk
You closet punk
If your mother only knew you wear bandannas and boots
Of you traded your tennis racket
For a camouflage jacket
Those wrap around glasses make you look like a faggot
You've got a mohawk that you comb down in the day
When you're at work or when you're out at play
You're at work or when you're out at play
You're in this just for fun

You're a closet punk
You closet punk

Stay in the closet where you belong
Stay in the closet where you've been all along
You're the hidden one
You're in this just for fun
You're a closet punk
You're a closet punk
You closet punk



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Reaganomics
Reaganomics killing me
Reaganomics killing me
Reaganomics killing me
Reaganomics killing you



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


It's Sad to Be
My mommy says I should join the church
The mad man tells me what I'm worth
True,it's clear,he beats me down
Makes me bitter,makes me frown
Till I myself as a human being
Hide my eyes to what I see
I myself as a human being
Hide my eyes to reality

Me,alone,I really wonder why
All alone I wonder why I try
When life itself depresses me
And everyhing else,it's sad to be



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


War Crimes
You should have gone to Canada
You could have run away
But you couldn't shame your parents
You say you had to stay
So you get yourself drafted
So you went ahead and went
And you thought you'd be a hero
And not a dissident

War Crime.....War Crime

You used to be a good boy
You used to be the best
Then you tried the drug
Ad you dreamt about the west
Everyone's your enemy
Everyone's your friend
Your world was upside down
To kill was not to sin
So you shot the wrong woman
Or you shot the wrong kid
Now Sam will make you regret
That you ever did
But you had no choice
You were told what to do
Orders from the helecopter crew

War Crime.....War Crime

Back home they wanted blood
For the atrocities
For the innocent who died
On they're TVs
They demanded justice
They demanded you
They wanted to watch you hang
Till you turned blue

War Crime.....War Crime

And the president said that that's OK
Because it takes they're attention away
From the real crime,the war
There are no war crimes
War is the crime



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Busted
Police drive by,I hold my breath
I've got 10 warrants for my arrest
They stop at the light and whip it around
Ten minutes later I'm headed downtown
Free Ride

Busted...stepped out of line
Busted...no place to hide
Busted...couldn't pay my fines

It makes no sense to live this way
But I'm gonna do it anyway

Busted...for being me
Busted...for being free
Busted...can't pay my bail
Busted...I'll die in jail

It makes no sense to live this way
But I'm gonna do it anyway



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Draft Me
Draft me...I want to have fun
Draft me...give me a gun
Draft me...I'd understand
Draft me...I want to be a man

I want to help America keep the peace
I want to be a tropper in the world police,Draft me



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


F.R.D.C.
I'm a first round draft choice...19
A man without a choice...unseen
Feedback from society
Please...A reason

For Kampuchia
The probems in Korea
The wars in Iran
Afganistan
Argentinas Falkland Islands



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Capitolist Suck
Capitolist Suck
Capitolist Suck
Capitolist Suck

You can't tell your wants from needs
You buy America and do a good deed
Create a job,don't bite the hand that feeds

Capitolist Suck
Capitolist Suck
Capitolist Suck

All of your goals are the fucking same
As every other jerk in this stupid game
Your brains have been washed and hung out to dry
You don't doubt it and you don't know why



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Misery Loves Company
What they have now
They want for me
Misery loves company
Live a life of bigotry
On the way to bankruptcy
Beer belly and family
Crackers,cheese and burgundy

You're life's no anomaly
Live your life accordingly
Wake up to the certainty
Of ageing and misery

No real love just cake and tea
No road to recovery
Live the life of drudgery
Same old shit,housewivery,fakery,tracery,misery



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Makes No Sense
The generals say they make good sense
A stong economy? First a strong defense

That makes sense
They make sense to me

The Airforce says they need new planes
As they prepare for strafing raids
And the Army,of course,needs more men
So they can fight and kill and win

That makes sense
They make sense to me

The Navy says they need more ships
So they can float and shoot and shit
They also say they need machines
To run they're little submarines

That makes sense
They make sense to me



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Blockhead
You work all day to earn your pay
To pay off all your debts
You rent your square to live in
And that's the best it gets

Cubical man does what he can
To keep himself alive
Pays his share for his little square
In order to survive

Locked in a race,the money chase
The systems fooling you
The more you make the more they take
And there's nothing you can do

Cubicle man does what he can
To keep himself alive
Pays his share for his little square
In order to survive

Run your ass to get your check
Stand in a crowded line
Pay your bills and buy the pills
That help you to unwind

Cubicle man does what he can
To keep himself alive
Pays his share for his little square
In order to survive

You buy a chair for your little square
So you can sit and hide
But you're all alone you fucked up clone
'Cause no one's on your side

The game of fools has its rules
So don't you fall behind
They'll take your square 'cause they don't care
They've got they're home-free ride

BLOCKHEAD!

Snap
No,there are no easy answers
To sum up the problems which we face
History's A lesson,let us learn by our mistakes
Just don't expect to make sense
Out of what you see
For I can tell you now that
Knowing is believing
So if you open your mind you might understand
You're the victim of a bigtime government scam
And though you may not be inclined to believe
The man behind the desk does get paid to decieve
You live in your little dream world
You're much too cool to care
I really have to warn you
I think it's only fair
They await the final hour
As happy as they are sick
Laughing so hysterically
At all those who they've tricked
But then who an I to tell you who to believe in
When all the masks they seem so damn decieving?
How can I say to you,"You be Free"
That would never bring about mass anarchy
Now,would it?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'd Rather be Sleeping
FROM SUN-UP TO SUN-DOWN
DECISIONS MAKE MY HEAD SPIN ROUND
MAKE ME DRUNK, SICK AND TIRED
KEEP ME UP 'TILL I RETIRE
AND WHILE I COULD BE OUT BAR HOPPING
MEAT MARKET, ROCKER-CHICK SHOPPING
OUT THERE, CHASING MY DICK
IN IT'S NEVER-ENDING SEARCH FOR CHICKS
BUT, I'D RATHER BE SLEEPING
IN MY BED, CRASHED OUT
A SLICE OF DEATH, WRAPPED UP
ALL IN WOOL, PASSED OUT
DRUNK, YOU STUPID FOOL
NO MORE WAKING HASSLES
WEARY OF THE DAILY BATTLES
SO ON MY BED, I LAY CURLED
A "COULD BE" MAN OF THE WORLD
BUT, I'D RATHER BE SLEEPING
IN MY BED, CRASHED OUT
A SLICE OF DEATH, WRAPPED UP
ALL IN WOOL, PASSED OUT
DRUNK, YOU STUPID FOOL



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marriage
BEGINNING WITH ITS CONCLUSION
MISDIRECTED BY WHAT'S RIGHT
ACTUAL ILLUSION
WEAKENED BY ITS MIGHT
THE DESERVING MARITAL VALUE
PRICED FOR QUICK EXCHANGE
IS WORTH IN THE OPEN MARKET
ONLY HALF ITS WEIGHT IN CHANGE
ENTHUSIASTICALLY DISFIGURED
BY ANTICIPATED, STERILE WASTE
POISED AND PROMISING
GLAZED IN ITS LOSS OF FACE
FRANTICALLY MELLOW
BLAMELESS IN ITS INTENT
MORE SOLID THAN JELLO
YET, SOFTER THAN CEMENT
UNPROFITABLY PRODUCTIVE
NOT WORTH SPEAKING OF
MUTUALLY DESTRUCTIVE
NONE OF THE ABOVE



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes Ma'am
TEACHER MOVES ME FROM SEAT TO SEAT, huh!

TRAPPED INSIDE THIS HOURGLASS
THOUGHTS OF CRASS
I'LL GIVE YOU THE ANSWERS YOU WANT TO HEAR
BUT I WON'T CONFORM
UNLIKE MY MINDLESS VACANT PEERS
THEY'RE THE NORM
EXACTLY WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY ?
EXACTLY WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME ?
EXACTLY WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO BE NOW ?
PLEASE CLASSIFY ME
FORCE ME TO SUCCEED
CHANGE IDENTITY
AND WATCH ME CHANGE
FINISHED, MAY I USE THE BATHROOM PLEASE?
YES, STILL AN EMERGENCY!
COME ON, CUT ME SOME SLACK
PROMISE, I'LL BE RIGHT BACK
JUST LET ME GO THIS ONE LAST TIME
AND I'LL NEVER ASK AGAIN,
JUST LET ME GO THIS ONE LAST TIME
AND I'LL NEVER ASK AGAIN

Soup Kitchen
VICIOUS CIRCLE'S GOT ME DOWN
DAYS TURN INTO WEEKS OF HANGING OUT
GOT TO SHAKE THESE SOUP KITCHEN BLUES
GROWING TIRED OF BARLEY CABBAGE STEW
AND THERE BEING NOTHING
NOTHING NEW TO DO
DUMB AND HUNGRY, WE MAKE OUR WAY
FOR FREE REFUELING
LIKE AN ALARM CLOCK, OUR MINDS KNOW THE TIMES
WE PLAN OUR LIVES AROUND THE LINES
TWELVE P.M. AT THE SOUP KITCHEN
TALKING POLITICS WITH THE BAG MEN
FORCED INTO THEIR CONVERSATIONS
PESSIMISTIC CONTEMPLATIONS
THEY TELL ME OF THEIR HEART CONDITIONS
SHARE WITH ME THEIR D.T. VISIONS
DAMN ME WITH THAT BAD OUTLOOK
OR SAVE ME WITH THAT "GOOD BOOK"
VICIOUS CIRCLE'S GOT ME DOWN
DAYS TURN INTO WEEKS OF HANGING OUT
GOT TO SHAKE THESE HAIGHT-ASHBURY BLUES
GROWING TIRED OF THE KEZAR STADIUM CRUISE
AND THERE BEING NOTHING
NOTHING NEW TO DO
JUST MAKE THE MIDDAY PILGRIMAGE
WE TRAVEL FAR AND WIDE
GOING TO THE SOUP KITCHEN
TO SWALLOW SOME MORE PRIDE

MAD MAN, HE'LL CALL YOU A WHORE
MAD MAN, HE'LL BRAND YOU A SLUT
MAD MAN, HE'LL KICK YOUR BUTT!

JUST PLEASE DON'T KICK DOWN OUR JAM ROOM DOOR
MAD MAN, HE'LL KICK DOWN THE DOOR
MAD MAN, HE'LL CALL YOU A WHORE
MAD MAN, HE'LL BRAND YOU A SLUT
MAD MAN, HE'LL KICK YOUR BUTT!
YOU HIT MY FRIENDS AND CUT DOWN BLACKS
PROVES AGAIN WHAT YOUR MIND LACKS
YOU BACK THE KLAN
I'VE GOT TO
CHANGE MY NAZI DAD
CHANGE MY NAZI DAD
CHANGE MY NAZI



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stupid,Stupid War
YOU THINK YOU LOOK GOOD IN YOUR NEW UNIFORM
STARCHED AND PRESSED INTO THE PERFECT NORM
UNTIL UNCLE SAM PUTS A GUN IN YOUR HAND
POINTS YOU IN THE WRONG DIRECTION AND SAYS,
"KILL THAT MAN!"
WELL, I DON'T FIT INTO YOUR PLAN
YOU CAN'T MAKE ME KILL, MAN
YOU CAN'T MAKE ME KILL A MAN
YOU CAN'T MAKE ME KILL AND
I WON'T FIGHT YOUR STUPID WAR
BELIEVE ME, I'M NOT YOUR SLAVE
I WON'T FIGHT IN YOUR WAR GAMES
THE C.I.A. CAN'T MAKE ME PLAY
THE WORLD'S RUNNING INTO PROBLEMS NOW
THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE HAVE TO FIGHT IT OUT
WELL, I DON'T FIT INTO YOUR PLAN
YOU CAN'T MAKE ME KILL, MAN
YOU CAN'T MAKE ME KILL A MAN
YOU CAN'T MAKE ME KILL AND
I WON'T FIGHT YOUR STUPID WAR
I WON'T FIGHT YOUR STUPID WAR

TIME TO START, TIME TO ACT
TIME TO SHOW THEM THAT WE CARE
TIME TO SHOW THAT WE'RE NOT SCARED
TIME TO SHOW THEM HOW TO SHARE THEIR MONEY
COUNTER ATTACK! COUNTER ATTACK!

God is Broke
SALVATION'S AROUND THE CORNER
JUST DIG INTO YOUR SOUL
DONATIONS FOR THE HOLY WORD
A PAYCHECK FOR GOD'S GOAL
HIS IRON-HANDED, SPIRITUAL RULE
IS THAT WHAT YOU FEAR MOST?
GOD IS GREEN, A NUMBERED FACE
A SCAMMING HOLY GHOST!
GOD IS BROKE,
THE WELL RAN DRY
SO PAY UP WHILE YOU CAN
OR YOU'LL END UP IN HELL
MONEY IN THE BOX IS LIKE
A HALO ON YOUR HEAD
BUT ALL OF CHRIST'S LOVE
STILL LEAVES HIM WITH THE DEAD

Karma
HEY, PUNK, WITH THAT BOTTLE IN YOUR HAND
WHAT MAKES YOU SO SAD?
COULD LIFE REALLY BE THAT BAD?
SURE, YOU'VE GOT YOUR REASONS
BUT YOUR ALIBIS ARE LIES
THE STORY IS AN OLD ONE
IT'S BEEN TOLD A MILLION TIMES
YOU WERE GLAD TO BE ALIVE
ON LIFE'S JOURNEY
YOU WERE EXCITED
BUT YOU WERE NOT IN A HURRY
FOR YEARS, YOU WALKED UP AND DOWN EACH ROAD
YOU HAD TO TRY THEM ALL
LOOKING FOR YOUR PLACE, I GUESS
WHERE YOU COULD REST AND FEEL AT HOME
NOW, TIRED OF WALKING
YOU'VE STARTED TO RUN
PASSING EVERYTHING BY
BUT AT LEAST YOU'RE HAVING FUN
GOOD KARMA, BAD KARMA
YOU'LL GET WHAT YOU DESERVE
THERE IS GOOD AND EVIL
YOU'VE GOT A LOT TO LEARN
THERE IS LOVE, THERE IS HATE
YOU CAN'T DO AS YOU PLEASE
WASH YOUR FACE, TAKE A BATH
YOUR AURA'S STILL FILTHY
IN SOMEONE'S BATHROOM, TURNING BLUE, PUKING GREEN
YOU'RE SENILE, SENILE AT SEVENTEEN
SCARS ON YOUR BRAIN FROM DRINKING BEER AND SMOKING WEED
ANOTHER ACID TAB, ANOTHER SHOT OF SPEED
GOOD KARMA, BAD KARMA
YOU'LL GET WHAT YOU DESERVE
THERE IS GOOD AND EVIL
YOU'VE GOT A LOT TO LEARN
THERE'S NO LIE, ONLY TRUTH
IN REALITY
YOU HAT LOVE, YOU LOVE TO HATE
YOUR SOUL IS SO DISEASED
YOU ARE JUST A FISH IN A SEA OF HUMAN BEINGS
LOST IN, CAUGHT UP IN, SOMEONE ELSE'S DREAM
AFRAID TO LAUGH 'CAUSE YOU MIGHT DROWN
THE TRUE MAD, SAD CLOWN SINKING DOWN
INTO THE DARKNESS WHERE NO ONE
WOULD DARE VENTURE TO SAVE YOU

Nursing Home Blues
I AM AN OLD MAN LIVING ALONE
MY LOVED ONES STUCK ME HERE IN THIS NURSING HOME
I'VE LOST ALL USEFULNESS
I WANT TO DIE
I HAVE THEM ALL THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE
THEN MAGGIE PASSED AWAY, NOW I'VE GOT NO WIFE
SO KILL ME, YOUNG MAN, OR HAND ME YOUR KNIFE
I WANT TO DIE
MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER SAYS I GET IN THE WAY
I DEPRESS HER BECAUSE I'M OLD AND GRAY
SHE CAN'T STAND TO SEE THE WRINKLES IN MY SKIN
BY GOLLY, GIRL, YOU'RE MY ONLY KIN
I WANT TO DIE
LIKE AN OLD HORSE PUT OUT TO PASTURE
TOO OLD TO BE OF ANY MORE USE TO IT'S MASTER
BUT WHEN I LIE IN BED AND I REMINISCE
I BEGIN TO THINK MAYBE THIS IS BEST
I'M OUT OF THE WAY, NOT IN ANYONE'S HAIR
AND THOUGH I'M COSTING THEM MONEY, I DON’T CARE
I WANT TO DIE



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I Don't Need Society
YOUR NUMBER'S UP, YOU HAVE TO GO
THE SYSTEM SAYS, "I TOLD YOU SO"
STOCKED IN A PLANE LIKE A TRUCKLOAD OF CATTLE
SENT OFF TO SLAUGHTER IN A USELESS BATTLE
THOUSANDS OF US SENT OFF TO DIE
NEVER REALLY KNOWING WHY
FUCK TO SYSTEM, THEY CAN'T HAVE ME
I DON'T NEED SOCIETY (2X)
BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU'RE IN THE CORP
GRAB YOUR GEAR, BOY, YOU'RE OFF TO WAR
STOCKED IN A PLANE LIKE A TRUCKLOAD OF CATTLE
SENT OFF TO SLAUGHTER IN A USELESS BATTLE
THOUSAND OF US SENT OFF TO DIE
NEVER REALLY KNOWING WHY
FUCK THE SYSTEM, THEY CAN'T HAVE ME
I DON'T NEED SOCIETY (2X)
YOU WERE AN APPLE PIE CLONE LIVING AT HOME
NEVER STRAYING TOO FAR FROM YOUR PHONE

NO TIME TO EVACUATE, THEY'LL WRITE OUR MOMS
FUCK TO SYSTEM, THEY CAN'T HAVE ME
I DON'T NEED SOCIETY
I DON'T NEED SOCIETY


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Give My Taxes Back
THEY BLOCK OUT THE LANDSCAPE WITH GIANT SIGNS
COVERED WITH PRETTY GIRLS AND CATCHY LINES
PUT UP FENCES AND CEMENT THE GROUND
TO DULL MY SENSES, KEEP THE FLOWERS DOWN
I WANT 'EM BACK
SPEND MY MONEY ON A RACE TO SPACE
WASTING MY MONEY, SLAPPING MY FACE
THEY'VE TAKEN A PEEK OVER FUTURE'S FENCE
TAKEN A PEEK AT MY EXPENSE
THEY'VE WASTED HUMAN LIVES
AND THEY'VE FUCKED UP MINE
I WANT IT BACK
I'M NOT INTO THE MATERIAL SCENE
POLYESTER, POLYETHELEYNE
AT LEAST GIVE ME A CHANCE TO SAY WHAT I WANT
THE MORE YOU WASTE, THE MORE YOU WANT
I WANT 'EM BACK
I WANT 'EM BACK
I WANT 'EM BACK
GIVE 'EM BACK!

The Explorer
DAY AFTER DAY I COMB MY BRAIN
SEARCHING FOR WORDS WHICH SOUND THE SAME
CHOOSING THESE WORDS AND MAKING THEM FIT
HOPING, SOMEHOW, THEY'LL ALL MAKE SENSE
IF THEY DON'T, DON'T BLAME ME
I'M EXPLORING MY IDENTITY
I SET THE STAGE FOR THE ANONYMOUS PLAY
COMPOSING GOOD AND EVIL IN AN OFFHAND SORT OF WAY
SO, IF YOU SHOULD TURN ON ME
IT'S BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
AND WON'T UNTIL YOU ASSEMBLE THE FRAGMENTED PICTURE
OF A SHATTERED MAN
I'M SEARCHING
AND MY OWN MIND
IS MY LATEST, GREATEST
MOST FABULOUS FIND
I HAD TO EXPLORE EVERYTHING
ALL THE DRUGS AND DRINK
CUT MY DICK OFF WITH A BUTTERNKNIFE IN THE SINK
LIVED IN JAIL FOR A THOUSAND OR MORE YEARS
GOT LOST FOR FIFTEEN MILLION MORE AT SEARS
NEVER KNOW WHAT I MIGHT DO NEXT
DESTROY MYSELF
DISCOVER DEATH

RETALIATE, REVENGE
THE WILL TO WIN
MAN CAN'T BE WRONG
MAN CAN NEVER GET ALONG
MAN LIVES IN THE PAST
CIVILIZED TRASH
MAN HATES HIMSELF
POISONS HIMSELF
HE IS HIS OWN DISEASE
COMMITTING SLOW SUICIDE



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Evil Minds
HORRIBLE PLANS OF HATE THEY'RE TENDING
THE EVIL MINDS WITH PLANS PREDICTING
BITTER VIBES OF HATE THEY'RE SENDING
BROKEN HEART AND MIND IS MENDING
DEFLECTIVE ACTION ONSLAUGHT ENDING
CRAZY PLANS OF FAME DESCENDING
AND CONSPIRACY IS ALL I FEAR



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Slit My Wrist
EVERY DAY I GET MORE PISSED
SLIT MY WRIST, SLIT MY WRIST
I HATE TO CARE, I HATE RELATIONS
A PILE STACKED HIGH OF COMPLICATIONS
EVERY DAY I GET MORE PISSED
SLIT MY WRIST, SLIT MY WRIST
I HATE THE THOUGHT THAT I MUST GIVE
ALL MY TIME JUST TO LIVE
EVERY DAY I GET MORE PISSED
SLIT MY WRIST, SLIT MY WRIST
I HATE THE THOUGHT OF GOVERNMENT AID
ACROSS MY WRIST, A RAZOR BLADE
EVERY DAY I GET MORE PISSED
SLIT MY WRIST, SLIT MY WRIST



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Busted Again
DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY
AS IF I WAS ON DOWNERS
FOLLOWED OFF THE EXIT RAMP
BY A SCENE FROM CLOSE ENCOUNTERS
OUT OF THE VAN
WALK A STRAIGHT LINE
LOST COUNT OF THE BEERS
SOMEWHERE AROUND NINE
DRUNK AND DRIVING, BOY
YOU REALLY FUCKED UP
NOW YOU'RE IN THE SQUAD CAR
HANDS IN BACK, CUFFED
SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS
OR EIGHT MONTHS, SON
CHECKED MY POCKETS, BUT
I KNEW I HAD NONE
THEY TOOK AWAY MY LICENSE
THEY SAID I CAN'T DRIVE
SAID THAT I SHOULD THANK THEM
I'M "LUCKY TO BE ALIVE"
LOCKED IN A CELL
FOR WEEKS AT A TIME
MY FRIENDS GOT ME OUT
MY BAIL WAS MY FINE
NOW I'M ON THE OUTSIDE
ME AND ALL MY FRIENDS
DRUNK AND DRIVING RECKLESS
JUST WAITING TO GET CAUGHT AGAIN



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Equal People
I LOOK AT YOU, THEN LOOK AT ME
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE I CAN SEE
lyrics: Brecht

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On My Way Home
I WAS GETTING OUT, WITHOUT A DOUBT
THIS WAS MY LAST PATROL, WISHED I COULD SHOUT
BUT THEN THE REDS WERE THERE
WE WERE TAKING OUR SHARE
FIFTEEN TO THIRTY, BUT FAIR IS FAIR
I WAS FIGHTING WILD, SHOOTING BLIND
NOTHING I COULD DO, NOWHERE I COULD GO
SOMEONE YELLED, "KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN LOW"
I HEARD MEN CRYING, KNEW THEY WERE DYING
AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, I REALIZED
MY SERGEANT LIED!
ON MY WAY HOME IN A BODY BAG
A ONE-WAY TICKET, BUT I COULDN'T BRAG
I WAS SEEING GREEN, SEEING RED
WITH AN ACHING, THROBBING, EMPTINESS IN MY HEAD
TRYING TO BREATHE, I FOUGHT FOR AIR
I WAS ALIVE, BUT NOBODY CARED
WE LEFT THE PLANET
THEN WE HAD LANDED
SOON PICKED UP BY AN ARMY TRUCK
SOMEONE GAVE ME A SHOVEL AND TOLD ME TO DIG
I SAID, "FUCK OFF AND DIE, CAPITALIST PIG!"



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bail Out
I'M BUILDING A SPACESHIP IN MY BACKYARD
USING PIECES OF OUR FAMILY CAR
I'M BUILDING THIS SPACESHIP OUT OF THIS CAR
SO I CAN FLY OFF AND LIVE AMONG THE STARS
I'M GONNA BAIL OUT BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
GET THE FUCK OUT, I'LL DWELL IN SPACE
I'LL TRAVEL AROUND AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT
ENVELOPED BY THE DARKNESS OF ETERNAL NIGHT
DISCOVER THE UNIVERSE WHILE YOU ALL DIE
I'VE GOT A FUTURE, SO I SAY GOODBYE
I WANT TO SEE WHAT'S NEVER BEEN SEEN
I WANT TO DO WHAT'S NEVER BEEN DONE
SO I'M BUILDING A SPACESHIP BLACK, SLEEK AND FAST
I'LL FLY OUT OF HERE, RIDE OUT ON THE BLAST
SPLIT THIS PIT BEFORE IT BLOWS
I'LL WATCH IT FROM THE BACK SEAT
ONE LAST SICK SHOW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
T
All For Nothing
EYES FULL OF HATE, QUICK TO CONDEMN
JUST STAY IN THE DARK AND WAIT FOR AN END
YOU DON'T REALLY CARE, IT'S JUST GIVE AND TAKE
KEEPING THE DISTANCE, KEEPING IT FAKE
WAITING FOR SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T QUITE GEL
JUST CURSING EXISTENCE AND HATING YOUR HELL
BLINDED BY ANGER, YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW
IT'S PLAY BY PLAY AS YOU PUT ON A SHOW
YOUR MAKING YOUR STAND FOR NOTHING AT ALL
DELIGHTED WITH PROBLEMS, A CHANCE FOR A FALL
CAUSING A SCENE TO DISTRIBUTE THE PAIN
IT'S ALL FOR ONE, SUCH A NICE LITTLE GAME
YOUR TIME FLIES BY WITH NOTHING GAINED
JUST TALK OF CHANGE AND WHO'S TO BLAME
IT'S THE SAME OLD STORY WE KNOW SO WELL
WITH A PRE-MADE ENDING YOU DON'T WANNA TELL
STILL WAITING FOR SOMETHING YOU HAVEN'T FOUND YET
JUST HIDE BEHIND VICES AND A BUNCH OF REGRETS
BLINDED BY ANGER THAT WON'T GO AWAY
TREADING ON WATER AS YOU SINK DAY BY DAY



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Manifest Destiny
MANIFEST DESTINY
MORE BLOOD ON THE HAND OF CHRIST
THEY CALLED THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS
AND GAVE THEMSELVES THE RIGHTS
DISGUISED AS MISSIONARIES
THEY WERE REALLY AFTER GOLD
MANY INDIANS DIED FOR THAT
HOW MANY'S NEVER TOLD
MANIFEST DESTINY
MANIFEST DESTINY
FOREVER MOVING ONWARD
SAID THEY WERE GUIDED FROM ABOVE
ACTUALLY DRIVEN BY HATE
DISGUISED AS LOVE
BUT ALL THEIR FALSE LOVE
CAN'T DISGUISE TRUE HATE
AND THE RACIST DIPLOMACY
OF THE CHURCH AND THE STATE
MANIFEST DESTINY
MANIFEST DESTINY
THE CHURCH MUST BE RICH
WITH ALL THAT GOLD
BUT THEY'LL NEVER RETURN
ALL THAT THEY STOLE
IT SITS IN A VAULT
BUILT JUST FOR GOLD
AND THERE IT WILL SIT FOREVER
BECAUSE IT NEVER GETS OLD
MANIFEST DESTINY
MANIFEST DESTINY



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gone Too Long
I CALL YOU UP, YOU'VE GOT NOTHING TO SAY
I GET THE HINT AND I'M BLOWN AWAY
BEEN GONE, GONE TOO LONG
I'VE BEEN GONE TOO LONG
BEEN GONE, GONE TOO LONG
I'VE BEEN GONE TOO LONG
YOU MUST SEE ME IN SOME FAR-AWAY CITY
WONDER, IS HE BLONDE? AND IS SHE PRETTY?
WHEN I'M GONE SO LONG, OUR BONDS GROW WEAK
TRUST GONE SOUR 'CAUSE WE CAN'T SPEAK
BEEN GONE, GONE TOO LONG
I'VE BEEN GONE TOO LONG
BEEN GONE, GONE TOO LONG
I'VE BEEN GONE TOO LONG
I WAKE UP AT NIGHT DRENCHED IN SWEAT
ANOTHER NIGHTMARE I CAN'T FORGET
DRINKING AND THINKING ABOUT WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN
SMOKING AND TRYING TO LIVE WITH MY SIN
BEEN GONE, GONE TOO LONG
I'VE BEEN GONE TOO LONG
BEEN GONE, GONE TOO LONG
I'VE BEEN GONE TOO



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do The Dream
CONFORM - IT'S ONLY NEED
DISTORT - NOT WHAT IT SEEMS
RESORT - TO THE DEED
REPORT - TO THE MACHINE
MODERN DAY VENDOR THAT SELLS YOU HELL
A LINE IS FORMED, WILL YOU LIVE TO TELL?
MONEY - MACHINE, BECOME ALL ONE
HAND TO HAND, THE DAMAGE DONE
CONFORM - IT'S ONLY NEED
DISTORT - NOT WHAT IT SEEMS
RESORT - TO THE DEED
REPORT - TO THE MACHINE
WAS IT OVER WHEN IT STARTED?
HAS THE WARMTH SINCE DEPARTED?
DID YOU PUT YOUR LIFE ON HOLD?
ON THE SHELF WHILE FIRING THE LOAD?



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shut-Up!
WE WON'T MENTION NAMES
BUT WHY DON'T YOU EVER SHUT UP?
YOU'RE CONSTANTLY TALKING
AND I JUST CAN'T KEEP UP
CONVERSATION'S A JOKE
IS YOUR HEAD MADE OF OAK?
ENDLESSLY BLABBING
BUT SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE YOU'RE STABBING
SHUT UP! SHUT UP!
SHUT THE FUCK UP!
BRAGGING AND LYING
SO YOU WON'T HAVE TO STOP
I'VE GOT TO GET OUT
MY HEAD'S ABOUT TO POP
YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE
C'MON, GIVE ME A BREAK
YOU GO ON AND ONE
UNTIL I FEEL FAINT
SHUT UP! SHUT UP!
SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Think For Yourself
HOW CAN YOU BE SO QUICK TO CONDEMN
BY WORD OR RUMOR, HEARD FROM A FRIEND?
ONE CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THAT ONE HEARS
IT'S YOUR DECISION, AND NOT YOUR PEERS
THINK FOR YOURSELF
DON'T RELY ON SOMEONE ELSE
HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT I'M THAT WAY?
YOU DON'T KNOW, JUST HEARD IT WAS SO
YOU'RE AGAINST ME, WELL HOW CAN THAT BE?
WE'VE NEVER MET, YOUR OPINION'S BEEN SET
THINK FOR YOURSELF
DON'T RELY ON SOMEONE ELSE
INSPECT EACH SITUATION, SEE FROM BOTH SIDES
SEEK OUT THE TRUTH, BURY THE LIES
ONE CAN'T BELIEVE ALL THAT ONE HEARS
IT'S YOUR DECISION, AND NOT YOUR PEERS
THINK FOR YOURSELF
DON'T RELY ON SOMEONE ELSE



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Slumlord
OLD, BATTERED BUILDING, READY TO CONDEMN
HIGH-VALUED PROPERTY, EXPENSIVE PIECE OF LAND
HALF-FILLED WITH TENANTS, ALL POOR ON WELFARE
NO HEAT OR ELECTRICITY, AND SLUMLORD DOESN'T CARE
SLUMLORD DOESN'T CARE, SLUMLORD DOESN'T CARE
MILLIONS IN INSURANCE COVERS THE WRECKED LOT
AND A WEEK TILL IT'S CONDEMNED IS ALL SLUMLORD'S GOT
HE ENTERS THE BASEMENT WITH THREE GALLONS OF GAS
AND FOUR HOURS LATER, THERE'S NOTHING LEFT BUT ASH
SLUMLORD DOESN'T CARE, SLUMLORD DOESN'T CARE
THE NEWPAPER'S ALL READ, "FORTY DIE IN THE BLAZE"
SLUMLORD NOW THINKS THAT CRIME REALLY PAYS
AND TWO YEARS LATER, A SKYSCRAPER APPEARS
WITH A PLAQUE IN THE MEMORY OF THE FORTY THAT DIED HERE
SLUMLORD DOESN'T CARE, SLUMLORD DOESN'T CARE



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dead In A Ditch
A PRETTY YOUNG GIRL FROM THE OAKLAND HILLS
STOLE HER DAD'S CAR AND ALL HER MOM'S PILLS
GOT ALL FUCKED UP AND DROVE OFF A CLIFF
ENDED UP DEAD, DEAD IN A DITCH
JUST LIKE HER MOTHER ALWAYS TOLD HER SHE'D END UP
ALL FUCK UP, DEAD, DEAD IN A DITCH



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suit And Tie Guy
SUIT AND TIE GUY
WITH HIS FASHION PHASES
AND HIS QUARTERLY RAISES
FEELS HE'S BETTER THAN YOU AND ME
SUIT AND TIE GUY
THINKS HE'S REAL CUTE
IN THE BATHROOM FOR A TOOT
UNTIL HIS NOSE STARTS TO BLEED
SUIT AND TIE GUY
I SEE HE ALWAYS HURRIES
I KNOW HE ALWAYS WORRIES
HE'S GONNA DIE OF A HEART ATTACK
SUIT AND TIE GUY
ON HIS WAY TO FEEDING
OR AN IMPORTANT MEETING
JUST LIKE A CAR ON A TRACK
SUIT AND TIE GUY
HE TRAVELS BETWEEN STATIONS
WITH CERTAIN DESTINATIONS
NEVER VARYING FROM THAT ROUTINE
SUITE AND TIE GUY
AND HE'LL TELL YOU IN ONE WORD
THAT HE IS INSURED
AND IT'S NOT AS BAD AS IT MAY SEEM



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Man Unkind
SADDER THAN ANY SONG I'VE SUNG
IS GROWING OLD OR DYING YOUNG
THIS EARTH IS A GRAVE, ROUND AND GREEN
A TOMB ON SORROW WHICH I'VE SEEN
A MASSIVE FIELD WE WANDER THROUGH
GREAT SKY ABOVE, VAST AND BLUE
DEATH MAY COME IN A DAY OR TWO
WHETHER OR NOT I'M FALSE OR TRUE

CHORUS: 2x
MAN WITHOUT AN ANSWER
LIKE A BIRD WITH BROKEN WING
WRAPPED UP IN HIS MISERY
FORGETTING HOW TO SING

STRAIGHT FROM THE STRETCHED-OUT WOMB OF SIN
THE HORRID FIRE BOMBS WILL FALL
HERE IS HOPE FOR PRIESTS AND PREACHERS
HERE IS HERESY FOR ALL
SO, MAN UNKIND WILL PERISH
IN A FINAL, FIERY BLAZE
OR SUFFOCATE HIMSELF SLOWLY
IN HIS SMOGGY, YELLOW HAZE
CHORUS: 4x
THE SUN SO SORE FROM MARCHING
TOWARDS THAT RECEDING WEST
WHERE PITY NO LONGER GOVERNS
WITH WISDOM AS HIS GUEST
WILL RISE SOMEWHERE SOUTH OF EAST
OUR SUN WILL RISE IN MOURNING
WISHING IT COULD QUENCH WITH TEARS
THE FIELDS AND SKIES ALL BURNING
CHORUS: 2x

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Acid Rain
WILL OUR CHILDREN LOOK BACK WITH HATRED OR DESPAIR
AT A GENERATION OF IDIOTS WHO JUST DIDN’T CARE
ABOUT THE FOSSIL FUEL FUMES AND THE AEROSOL SPRAYS
THAT PUT HOLES IN THE OZONE AND LET IN THE RAYS
THAT CAN CAUSE CANCER IN HUMANS? AND WHAT IS IT ALL WORTH
HEATING UP OUR GLOBE, DESTROYING OUR OWN EARTH?
WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF US WITH NO CONCERN
ABOUT THE SEAS OF SHIT AND RADIATION BURN?
WE WHO WATCHED THE WATERS OF THE WORLD
TURN TO LAKES OF LAVA, KILLING EVERY FORM OF LIFE?
WILL THEY HAVE REGRETS FOR BEING BORN AT ALL
INTO A WORLD WHERE ONLY ACID RAIN CAN FALL
ON ALL THE EMPTY FIELDS AND ON THE VACANT LOTS
WHERE COCKROACHES AND CRAB GRASS ARE THE ONLY CROPS?
ACID RAIN DISSOLVING AWAY THE MONUMENTS OF MAN
RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
ACID RAIN! SMELL THE RAIN COMING!
ACID RAIN! RUN FOR COVER NOW!
ACID RAIN! THE WATER IS ON FIRE!
ACID RAIN!



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tone Deaf
TONE DEAF! I CAN’T PLAY AN INSTRUMENT
TONE DEAF! I CAN’T EVEN SING
TONE DEAF! I HAVE TO WEAR EAR PLUGS
THE NOISE MAKES MY EARS RING
THEY TOLD ME WHEN I WS ELEVEN
"YOU SHOULDN’T EVEN BOTHER TO TRY.
YOU’VE GOT NO MUSICAL ABILITY."
AND THEY WEREN’T TELLING A LIE
TONE DEAF! I’VE GOT NO RHYTHM
TONE DEAF! I’VE GOT NO PITCH
TONE DEAF! I COULDN’T HIT AN OCTAVE
IF IT MEANT THAT I’D GET RICH
ALL I CAN DO IS SHOUT
LOUDER AND FASTER THAN MOST
THAT’S WHAT I DO FOR A LIVING
TRAVELING COAST TO COAST
TONE DEAF! I DON’T HAVE GOOD METER
TONE DEAF! I DAN’T SING TREMOLO
TONE DEAF! I’VE GOT POOR REGISTER
YOU WON’T HEAR ME SING FALSETTO
NO, I CAN’T HIT THOSE HIGH NOTES
AND I CAN’T GO REAL LOW
ALL IN ALL, I’M TONE DEAF
AND EVERYONE TELLS ME SO
TONE DEAF!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Guilt Trip
MY BODY IS STUPID, BUT MY BRAIN IS SMART
LUCK RULES BOTH OF THEM WITH THE HELP OF MY HEART
LAKE A STUMBLING MORON, UNABLE TO OBEY
THE SIMPLEST OF LAWS OF MORALITY
I’M THE SADDEST EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING
WISH MY PAST WAS A SLATE WHICH I COULD WIPE CLEAN
BUT WHO CAN I BLAME? THERE’S ONLY ME
I SCREWED UP. I’M GUILTY
GUILT TRIP
THE GUILT TRIP
GUILT TRIP
I’M ON A TRIP TO THE LAND OF GUILT
I’VE BEEN HERE SINCE THE HOUSE OF PAIN WAS BUILT
THE PRICE IS HIGH, BUT WHEN I NEED RELIEF
I’LL PAY THE PRICE WHEN I FEEL THE GRIEF



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hardball
OUT OF THE WOODWORK, HERE YOU COME, CRAWLING
ON YOUR KNEES, HANDS OUT, I THINK YOU MISSED YOUR CALLING
YOU WANT A PERCENTAGE, IMAGINARY PIECE OF THE PIE
TAKE A NUMBER, GET IN LINE, ASSHOLE, NICE TRY
CAUSE WE’RE PLAYING HARD BALL
NOW WE’RE PLAYING HARD BALL
YOU THREATEN LAWYERS
GO AHEAD AND CALL
SOUNDS LIKE FUN
CAUSE WE’RE PLAYING HARD BALL
NOW WE’RE PLAYING HARD BALL
NOW WE’RE PLAYING HARD BALL
NOW WE’RE PLAYING, NOW WE’RE PLAYING, HARD BALL
NOW WE’RE PLAYING, NOW WE’RE PLAYING, HARD BALL
YOU WANT TO PLAY WITH US? WELL, STEP UP TO THE PLATE
THE BASES ARE LOADED AND WE TIRE OF THE WAIT
I’D LOVE TO GO TO COURT JUST TO SEE YOU FAIL
AND END YOUR PATHETIC ATTEMPTS AT EXTORTION AND BLACKMAIL

Paying to Play
I’VE LIVED IN A VAN AND I’VE LIVED IN A TREE
NEVER DID WHAT ANYONE EXPECTED OF ME
I ATE AT SOUP KITCHENS AND I SLEPT IN SQUATS
ABANDONED BUILDINGS AND PARKING LOTS
I BORROWED MONEY AND PLAYED FOR FREE
LIVING IN AMERICA IN POVERTY
PAY! PAYING TO PLAY!
PAY! PAYING! PAYING TO PLAY!
PAY! PAYING TO PLAY!
PAY! PAYING! PAYING TO PLAY!
BUT A TOUR OR A SHOW WAS ALWAYS IN THE WORKS
WITH COC, THE Dks, OR THE CIRCLE JERKS
WE WOULD PLAY FOR BEER, FOR FOOD, AND FOR GAS
EATING GOVERNMENT CHEESE AND TRADING BLOOD FOR CASH
I WAS ALWAYS HUNGRY, TENSE AND WEIRD
TRENCH COAT, MANGE, HALF A BEARD
I SLEPT ON PARK BENCHES AND I’LL NEVER FORGET
THE COLD AND RAIN AND ALL THE SHIT
EVERYONE WITH MONEY AND ME WITH NONE
WHEN YOU DON’T HAVE ANY, IT’S NOT MUCH FUN
PAY! PAYING TO PLAY
PAY! PAYING! PAYING TO PLAY!
PAY! PAYING TO PLAY!
PAY! PAYING! PAYING TO PLAY!



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Say It
GO AHEAD AND SAY IT! WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE?
GO AHEAD AND SAY IT! NO NEED TO HOLD BACK
GO AHEAD AND SAY IT! VOICE YOUR OPINION
GO AHEAD AND SAY IT! WHILE YOU STILL HAVE THE RIGHT
WHY KEEP IT ALL BOTTLED UP INSIDE?
SAY IT LOUD AND AT LEAST YOU’VE TRIED
SOMEONE HEARS AND YOU’RE ON YOUR WAY
SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND YOU HAVE TO SAY
SAY IT! GO AHEAD AND SAY IT!
SHOUT AND LET IT OUT
GO AHEAD AND SAY IT! SAY IT!
GO AHEAD AND SAY IT! DON’T CARE WHAT OTHERS THINK
GO AHEAD AND SAY IT! LET YOUR THOUGHTS BE KNOWN
GO AHEAD AND SAY IT! VOICE YOUR OPINION
GO AHEAD AND SAY IT! WHILE YOU STILL HAVE THE RIGHT
LIVING YOUR LIFE LIKE YOU’RE SATISFIED
HOLD YOUR TONGUE AND YOU SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE
PEACEFUL AND GOLDEN AS SILENCE MAY BE
THERE ARE SOME THOUGHTS YOU’VE JUST GOT TO SET FREE
SO SAY IT!
GO AHEAD AND SAY IT! THE TIME IS RIGHT FOR CHANGE
GO AHEAD AND SAY IT! YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
GO AHEAD AND SAY IT! VOICE YOUR OPINION
GO AHEAD AND SAY IT! WHILE YOU STILL HAVE THE RIGHT



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dry Heaves
I WAS DRINKING BEER, THEN I WAS DRINKING JAGER
I KNOW I SHOULDN’T MIX THE TWO, I ALWAYS PAY LATER
BUT THAT’S JUST BESIDE THE POINT, WHAT IS DONE IS DONE
NOW I’M HURTING REAL BAD AND I’VE GOT THE RUNS
I HATE THE DRY HEAVES, I HATE DRY HEAVES
I HATE THE DRY HEAVES, I HATE DRY HEAVES
I WAS TALKING TO YOU THEN I WAS ON THE GROUND
WHEN I SHUT MY EYES, EVERYTHING SPUN AROUND
WHEN I’M SO FUCKED UP, I FORGET WHERE I AM
I FEEL SO BAD, I PUKED IN YOUR VAN
GUT-WRENCHING SPASMS THAT JUST WON’T STOP
TRYING TO SQUEEZE OUT JUST ONE LAST DROP
MY GUT TIED IN KNOTS, NOTHING LEFT INSIDE
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING ME A RIDE
I HATE THE DRY HEAVES, I HATE DRY HEAVES
I HATE THE DRY HEAVES, I HATE DRY HEAVES



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Don't Ask
YOU DON’T KNOW WHO I AM
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT I WANT
YOU CAN’T SEE IN MY HEAD
YOU CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M FEELING
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M LIKE
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M DREAMING
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
SO PLEASE, PLEASE DON’T ASK (x2) YOU DON’T KNOW HOW I WORK
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT MAKES ME TICK
YOU CAN’T TELL IF I’M HEALTHY
OR IF MY MIND IS SICK
YOU DON’T KNOW HOW I AM
YOU DON’T EVEN WANT TO KNOW
YOU CAN’T KNOW WHAT I’M THINKING
YOU DON’T EVEN WANT TO KNOW
SO PLEASE, PLEASE DON’T ASK (x2)
YOU DON’T KNOW HOW I WORK
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT MAKES ME TICK
YOU CAN’T TELL IF I’M HEALTHY
OR IF MY MIND IS SICK
YOU DON’T KNOW HOW I AM
YOU DON’T EVEN WANT TO KNOW
YOU CAN’T KNOW WHAT I’M THINKING
YOU DON’T EVEN WANT TO KNOW
SO PLEASE, PLEASE DON’T ASK (x2)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Time Out
TIME OUT! TIME OUT! FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE END
TIME OUT! TIME OUT! OF MAN’S EPISODES OF SIN
TIME OUT! TIME OUT! GLACIER MELT DOWN OVERLOAD
TIME OUT! TIME OUT! UNNATURAL DISASTERS
TIME’S UP FOR US MINDLESS BEINGS
IT SEEMS WE’RE DESTROYING EVERYTHING
THE JUNGLE, THE SEAS, THE FORESTS, THE TREES
THIS NEVER-ENDING NEED HAS TO CEASE
THE COST IS ALWAYS GROWING
ANIMAL LIFE LOSS IS OVERFLOWING
OUR STAINED SHORES TAKE DEVASTATING SCORES
AS MAN’S BLACK TIDES ROLL IN
TIME OUT! TIME OUT! SCREAMING MOTHER EARTH
TIME OUT! TIME OUT! RIDDLED SEAS OF CHEMICAL BIRTH
TIME OUT! TIME OUT! FOR OUR BACKYARDS LACED WITH TOXIC WASTE
TIME OUT! TIME OUT! EXTINCTION IS FOREVER, MAN!
WHAT GIVES US THE RIGHT
TO KILL FOR IVORY IN SIGHT?
MAKES ME SICK TO SEE FUR JACKETS AND SLEEVES
WHEN LIVES WERE TAKEN FOR HER TO PLEASE
PEOPLE, CAN’T WE SEE?
RESPECT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE KEY
GLOBAL WARMING AND PESTICIDES
IF THE EARTH GOES, WE’LL ALL DIE
TIME OUT! TIME OUT! TIME OUT!
TIME OUT! TIME OUT! TIME OUT!



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let it Go
LET IT GO! LET IT GO!
LET IT GO! LET IT GO!
LEAVE IT ALONE, LET IT GO.
LEARN WHEN TO SHUT YOUR MOUTH
LEAVE IT ALONE, YOU GOTTA KNOW.
WHEN TO JUST LET IT GO.
I HOPE FOR THE BEST, BUT I EXPECT THE WORST
I’M A REALIST AT HEART, SEARCHING FOR TREASURE
BURIED WHEREVER, NO HINTS AND NO CHART
SCREAMING AND LOVING, PUSHING AND TUGGING
WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT’S WRONG? IN MY WILDEST DREAMS
I NEVER IMAGINED IT WOULD LAST THIS LONG
I WAS COUNTING THE DAYS, NOW I’M COUNTING THE MONTHS
WHEN WILL THIS ALL END? COULD BE A YEAR
COULD BE NEVER, OR JUST AROUND THE BEND
I KNOW IT’S HARD TO SHOW YOU CARE
LIKE SPIN THE BOTTLE, IT’S TRUTH OR DARE
OPPOSING SIDES FROM YOUR POSITION
DON’T’ GIVE A FUCK, THAT’S MY DECISION
YOU ARE SO UNKIND, THAT LOOK ON YOUR FACE
HEY, I’M NOT AFRAID TO ROLL THE DICE
I’VE MADE MISTAKES BEFORE, BUT I’VE SERVED MY TIME
AT LEAST I’VE GOT MY MEMORIES, I’LL PUT ASIDE MY LOSSES
AND SHOW YOU HOW TO WIN THE GAME
LEAVE IT ALONE, LET IT GO.
LEARN WHEN TO SHUT YOUR MOUTH
LEAVE IT ALONE, YOU GOTTA KNOW.
WHEN TO JUST LET IT GO.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You
TODAY I WANT TO BE WITH YOU FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
TOMORROW I MAY NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN
THAT’S HOW IT GOES, PEOPLE CHANGE
BUT YOU KNOW THAT I DON’T HAVE TO TELL YOU
I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME
I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME
I NEVER WANTED THIS, I WAS HAVING FUN
BEFORE I MET YOU, FALLING FOR ANYONE
WAS NOT ON MY AGENDA, BUT IT STILL HAPPENED, NOW
I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME
I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME
I DON’T’ HAVE TO TELL YOU, YOU KNOW THAT
I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME
I THINK ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME
TOMORROW - BEFORE I MET YOU
FALLING - NOT ON MY AGENDA
PEOPLE CHANGE - IT STILL HAPPENED
THINKING ABOUT YOU FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Target
SOMEWHERE, OUT PAST NOWHERE
I WAS BORN IN THE MIDDLE OF AN AIR RAID
SINCE I HIT THE DIRT, I WAS ON THE RUN
THE SON OF A GUN AND A SWITCHBLADE
GOT MY UZI LYING ON MY BED STAND
I MADE NAPALM IN MY SINK
PIPE-BOMB IN MY PANTS POCKET
I JUST PUT CYANIDE IN YOUR DRINK
MIC STAND’S ALWAYS AT MY SIDE
JACK-KNIFE IN MY BOOT
FULLY AUTOMATIC MACHINE-GUN
IS LOADED AND READY TO SHOOT
I STRAYED OFF THE BEATEN PATH
NOW THERE’S NO PLACE TO HIDE
MY SADNESS AND MY WRATH
CONTEMPLATED SUICIDE
SOMEWHERE, OUT PAST NOWHERE
I LOST MY WAY
NO MONEY TO PAY MY FARE
THE DRIVER DROVE AWAY
I REMEMBER SUNNY WINTER SUNDAYS SPENT
SHOOTING AT THE SUN WITH MY BB-GUN
THINKING, "THIS IS THE WAY THAT LIFE SHOULD BE
SOME BIRDS, SOME BBs, MY GUN AND ME."
BUT THAT ISN’T THE WAY THAT LIFE SHOULD BE
THIS IS THE WAY THAT LIFE SHOULD BE
GUITARS, DRUMS, A MIC AND ME
THE BAND, SOME ROADIES, ELECTRICITY
BLASTING FORTH WITH A MILLION WATTS OF POWER
THE WEAK GET SICK AND THE TIMID ALL COWER
‘CAUSE WE’RE LIKE A GUN AND WE’RE TAKING AIM
OUT MUSIC’S THE BULLET, THE TARGET IS YOUR BRAIN
THE GUITAR, LIKE A LASER, CUTS THROUGH YOUR HEAD
YOU DROP TO YOUR KNEES AND WISH YOU WERE DEAD
THAN I GRAB THE MIC AND I START TO SHOUT
YOUR EAR-DRUMS BURST AND YOUR BRAINS DRAIN OUT
WHEN THE BASS KICKS IN, YOUR BONES ARE CRUSHED
YOUR EYES ROLL BACK AS YOU GET A RUSH
THEN THE DRUMS POUND YOU RIGHT INTO THE FLOOR
NOW YOU’RE ROTTEN TO THE CORE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tear It Down
FIGHTING THIS SOCIETY, THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO WIN
WE MUST STICK TOGETHER THROUGH ALL THICK AND THIN
CROSS OVER THE LINE OF YOUR STUBBORN, CLOSED MIND
DON'T BE SURPRISED AT WHAT YOU MIGHT FIND
THINGS YOU THOUGHT WRONG MAY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN RIGHT
YOU'LL PROBABLY FIND FAULT IN YOUR REASONS TO FIGHT
YOU REALLY DON'T DIFFER FROM WHAT I CAN SEE
AIN'T IT TIME TO UNITE, OR IS IT JUST ME?
JUST AS WE WATCH THEM BUILD THIS EMPIRE
SO THEY SHALL WATCH US TEAR IT DOWN
IF NOT WITH OUR WORDS, THEN WITH THE POWER OF OUR SOUND!
FIGHTING THIS SOCIETY, THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO WIN
WE MUST STICK TOGETHER THROUGH ALL THICK AND THIN
CROSS OVER THE LINE OF YOUR STUBBORN, CLOSED MIND
DON'T BE SURPRISED AT WHAT YOU MIGHT FIND
WE ARE THE FUTURE, SO LET'S GET THINGS STRAIGHT
COMBINE OUR FORCES BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
FIGHTING OURSELVES CAN'T GO ON ANY LONGER
WE MUST FIGHT TOGETHER IF WE WANT TO GROW STRONGER
WE CAN TEAR IT DOWN
WE MUST TEAR IT DOWN
WE WILL TEAR IT DOWN

A COFFIN IS SAD
DESTINED TO BE
ONE'S LAST PAD
TO LAY IN AS A CORPSE
FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
IN ANOTHER COFFIN, OF COURSE
NEXT TO YOU IS YOUR WIFE
A COFFIN IS LONELY
A COFFIN IS BAD
THE SHAPE OF SECLUSION
A COFFIN IS SAD

Probation
THEY SET THE RULES
THEY WANT ME TO BREAK
TAKE ALL MY MONEY
SET ME STRAIGHT
THEN THEY CONFINE ME
MAKE ME CHECK IN
ANALYZE MY PISS
ASK ME WHERE I'VE BEEN
THEY SEND ME TO CLASSES
THAT SAY I'VE BEEN BAD
TAKE SOME MORE MONEY
PROVE TO ME I'VE BEEN HAD
AND THEY'LL KEEP ON TRYING
TO STRAIGHTEN ME OUT
AND THE MORE THAT THEY TRY
THE MORE I DOUBT
THIS SYSTEM OF CORRECTIONS
THAT THEY PUT ME THROUGH
HASN'T BROUGHT ABOUT CHANGE
BUT, THIS IS NOTHING NEW



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I.D.K.Y.
LOOK INTO MY EYES
TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE
AMPLIFIED STARLIGHT
PURE ENERGY
YOU CRINGE FROM MY POWER
GO HOME AND TAKE A SHOWER
I AM INTELLIGENT LIFE
YOU ARE LESS
LOOK INTO MY HEART
TELL ME WHAT YOU FEEL
PAIN AND AGONY
FROM A HORRID ORDEAL
YOU FLEE FROM MY SADNESS
FINDING NO GLADNESS
I CAN HANDLE IT O.K.
YOU REALLY CAN'T
LOOK INTO MY MIND
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK
OF THE MANGE AND MADNESS
OF A MISSING LINK
YOU STIFFEN AND TURN SOUR
DESCENDING FROM MY TOWER
YOU FALL AND TURN AWAY
YOU ARE MINE!



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Decisions
YOU ASK ME QUESTIONS I CAN'T ANSWER
GIVE ME PROBLEMS I CAN'T SOLVE
OFFER SUGGESTIONS I CAN'T RESPECT
IS THERE ANYTHING AT ALL?
YOU GIVE ME REASONS FOR YOUR IDEAS
ALL THE FACTS BEHIND YOUR THOUGHTS
TELL ME OF YOUR OBSERVATIONS
AND COUNT THE NUMBER OF MY FAULTS
I HIDE A SMILE, I WEAR A FROWN
ALWAYS WANTING TO PLAY THE CLOWN
I MAKE MY PLAN, I LOSE A CHANCE
AS I PERFORM A LONG DEATH DANCE
LIFE OR DEATH, IT'S ALL STRAIGHT UP
MAKE MY CHOICE, AND THROW IT UP
SHOT GLASS FULL, DOWN THE HATCH
MY MIND'S MADE UP, NO SECOND CHANCE

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hooked
YOU'RE TIED DOWN, YOU'RE LOCKED UP
YOU'VE GOT NO WAY OUT
YOU'RE BROKE DOWNYOU'RE FED UP
YOUR LUNGS START TO SHOUT
YOU'RE WINCING, CONVULSING
YOU'RE ACHING WITH PAIN
GASPING FOR BREATH, AND YOU'RE FEELING INSANE
HOLE AFTER HOLE
JUST PROVING YOUR POINT
POINT AFTER POINT
JUST DIGGING YOU HOLE
SLOW DIGGING WITH A SPOON
HOOKED!
YOU'RE HOOKED ON A DRUG THAT'S CONTROLLING YOUR MIND
HOCKING YOUR SOUL FOR THAT MEASLY LAST DIME
YOU'RE DRAGGED OFF AND THROWN IN YOUR OWN PADDED CELL
YOU'VE REACHED END OF ROPE AT BOTTOM OF WELL
YELLOW-BLACK ARM-HOLE OF EAGER JUNK ACCEPTANCE
THIN STEEL PRICK CUMS IN YOUR ARM
I SEE YOU FALL OVER AND OVER AGAIN
HANGING ONTO NOTHING YOU THOUGHT WAS A FRIEND



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Go Die
YOU'RE BOTHERING ME
FOR ANYTHING FREE
WHY CAN'T YOU SEE?
I'M OUT ON A LIMB
MY NERVES ARE STRETCHED THIN
YOU REALLY DON'T WIN
GO DIE!
YOU SERIOUSLY ASK
FOR MY AUTOGRAPH
I CAN'T HELP BUT LAUGH
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE
WHY CAN'T YOU GO HOME
A BRAIN YOU DON'T OWN
GO DIE!
FOLLOWING ME AROUND
JUST LIKE A LOST HOUND
AND YOU'RE BRINGING ME DOWN
I TELL YOU GOODBYE
AND YOU ASK ME WHY
GUESS I'M JUST SHY
GO DIE!

Redline
WAY PAST OVERDRIVE
FULL ON REDLINE
NO EASING UP
YOUR LIFE'S FLYING BY
PUSHING AND PASSING
YOURSELF YOU'VE JUST PASSED
FIRST OVER THE FINISH
YOU STILL COME IN LAST
FACE TURNING TO STONE
YOUR EYES OWL-WIDE
NO EASING UP
MORE SPEED IS YOUR HIGH
LOOK AND FEEL
TWICE YOUR AGE
GRINDING IN YOUR SILENT RAGE
DYING AT TWICE THE SPEED
YET NOT ENOUGH TO
QUENCH YOUR NEED
REDLINE, FOOT TO THE FLOOR
REDLINE, SLOW-PACED IS A BORE
REDLINE, YOURSELF YOU'VE JUST PASSED
REDLINE, YOU STILL COME IN LAST



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No Religion
WON'T SEE ME ON MY KNEES
TAKE MY SOUL AND SAVE IT, PLEASE
TEN HAIL MARY'S FOR MY SIN
PAYING HEAVEN TO GET IN
GOT NO MONEY FOR YOUR BASKET
A MILLION TIMES YOU CAN ASK IT
FIND YOUR BIBLE FAR TOO ODD
AIN'T GOT TIME FOR YOUR GOD
I'VE MADE MY DECISION
DON'T WANT YOUR RELIGION
NO MORE CHURCH-BOUND PRISON
OR JERRY FALWELL TELEVISION
DON'T FORGET, HE'S COMING BACK
SO PUT YOUR DOLLARS IN THE STACK
THE SECOND COMING'S GETTING CLOSE
SO PAY UP NOW AND GET THE MOST
FORM A LINE FOR ALL TO PAY
AND DO THE SAME NEXT SUNDAY
STEP RIGHT UP AND CLEAN YOUR SOUL
SINGLE FILE, YOUNG AND OLD
I'VE MADE MY DECISION
DON'T WANT YOUR RELIGION
NO MORE CHURCH-BOUND PRISON
OR JERRY FALWELL TELEVISION
WASH YOUR BRAIN, A STRANGE OBSESSION
YOU'RE AN ANGEL, POST CONFESSION
HOLY BOOK TELLS RIGHT FROM WRONG
LAST DONATION, OVERDRAWN

Fun & Games
STEP ON MINE, I’LL STEP ON YOURS
TAKE WHAT'S MINE, I'LL TAKE WHAT'S YOURS
BLEED ON ME, I'LL SPIT ON YOU
INCONSIDERATION
PART OF THE GAME
VOTED RULES
ARE ALWAYS CHANGED
PLANS ARE MADE
BUT REARRANGED
AND ONLY ONE THING
STAYS THE SAME
YELL AT ME, I'LL YELL AT YOU
PUSH ON ME, I'LL PUSH ON YOU
FUCK WITH ME AND I'LL SCREW YOU
I TURN IT UP, YOU'LL TURN IT DOWN
I SPEED UP, YOU'LL SLOW DOWN
AND YOU'LL REJECT WHAT I ACCEPT
INCONSIDERATION
PART OF THE GAME
VOTED RULES
ARE ALWAYS CHANGED
PLANS ARE MADE
BUT REARRANGED
AND ONLY ONE THING
STAYS THE SAME
YOU STAY HEALTHY, I'LL BE SICK
YOU DOMINATE, BUT YOU'VE BEEN TRICKED
THINK ITS' OVER, IT'S JUST BEGUN
TO YOU, A NIGHTMARE
TO ME, IT'S FUN!



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oblivion
THE DAY HAS COME, THE TIME IS NEAR
FOR ALL TO END. IT'S TRUE, IT'S HERE
IT'S ALL OVER NOW, NO WAY TO STOP
THE BUTTON'S BEEN PUSHED, THE BOMB'S BEEN DROPPED
THE CITY IS MELTING, THE SKY BURNS RED
THE OCEAN IS BOILING, WE'LL SOON BE DEAD
DEATH HAS COME KNOCKING, THE DOOR'S OPEN WIDE
HE'S LET HIMSELF IN, NO PLACE TO HIDE
A TIDAL WAVE OF POWER COMING OVER THE HILL
A GREAT WELL OF THUNDER SWOOPING DOWN FOR THE KILL
LEVELING, DESTROYING EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH
JUST SECONDS LEFT NOW TILL WE FEEL ITS WRATH
THE CITY IS MELTING, THE SKY BURNS RED
THE OCEAN IS BOILING, WE'LL SOON BE DEAD
PEOPLE RUN RABID FROM THE GREAT BLAST
THE BEAST IS UPON US, IT'S HERE AT LAST
THE STREETS ECHO SCREAMS FILLED WITH FEAR
ALL THROUGH THE UNIVERSE, BUT NO ONE WILL HEAR!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thrashard
THERE'S A GIG AT FIFTH AND MAIN
GONNA CATCH THE BUS OR TAKE THE TRAIN
WE'LL STEAL OR FIND OR BORROW CASH
AND WE'LL BE THERE READY TO THRASH
THE BAND KICKS IN, THEY BEGIN TO RAGE
NO-MAN'S LAND, IN FRONT OF THE STAGE
POSEURS IN THE BATHROOM STILL LOOKING AT THEIR HAIR
THRASHERS IN THE FOREGROUND DOING WHAT THEY DARE
IN THE PIT, IN THE PIT, IN THE PIT, IN THE PIT
IN THE PIT
THRASHING AND SLAMMING LIKE HELL IN THE PIT
TOMORROW THEY KNOW MAY NOT COME
BANGING AND MOSHING LIKE THEY DON'T GIVE A SHIT
TO THE RAPID BEAT OF THE DRUM
A BOOT TO YOUR FOREHEAD, A KNEE TO YOUR FACE
YOUR NOSE AND LIPS START TO BLEED
LIKE A WILD INDIAN FROM OUTERSPACE
DRUNK AND HIGH ON WEED
GUITAR SEEMS SO FUCKING LOUD
PEOPLE WALKING ON THE CROWD
DIVING OFF THE P.A. STACKS
BREAKING ANKLES, NECKS AND BACKS
THEN THE CIRCLE BEGINS IN THE PIT
FISTS ARE FLYING, PEOPLE ARE GETTING HIT
TOOTH CHIPPERS LEFT AND RIGHT
SKINHEADS IN ANOTHER FIGHT
BANGING HEADS AND BROKEN JAWS
BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT LAWS
IN THE PIT
THEN YOU START THRASHING LIKE NEVER BEFORE
STAGEDIVING, HEADWALKING LIKE MAD
DOING YOUR THING ALL OVER THE FLOOR
THE BEST TIME THAT YOU'VE EVER HAD
YOU ARE HURT ALL OVER, BUT CAN'T FEEL A THING
NOT UNTIL THE NEXT DAY
THEN YOU'LL WAKE UP, STIFF AS A BOARD
AND THE PAIN WON'T GO AWAY
ANOTHER GIG AT FIFTH AND MAIN
WE'LL CATCH THE BUS OR TAKE THE TRAIN
WE'LL STEAL OR FIND OR BORROW CASH
AND WE'LL BE THERE READY TO THRASH
IN THE PIT, IN THE PIT, IN THE PIT, IN THE PIT
IN THE PIT



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beneath the Wheel
GO! DON'T BE LATE
FIRST ONE OUT OF THE STARTING GATE
RUN! BE ON TIME
FIRST ONE TO CROSS THE FINISH LINE
SWIM AHEAD OF THE SCHOOL, IF YOU HAVE TO, CHEAT
IF YOU NEVER SLOW DOWN, YOU'LL NEVER BE BEAT
IF YOU LOSE IN LIFE, IT'S BECAUSE YOU LAGGED
KEEP UP WITH THE TRAFFIC, OR YOU'LL BE DRAGGED DOWN
BENEATH THE WHEEL
GO! DON'T BE TARDY
FELL ASLEEP LAST NIGHT AT A PARTY
RUN! MAKE THE GRADE
SCHOOL'S A JOB, BUT YOU DON'T GET PAID
RUN AT THE HEAD OF THE PACK, BE THE LEADER IN THIS RACE
STAY UP FRONT, JUST IN CASE
IF YOU LOSE IN LIFE, IT'S BECAUSE YOU LAGGED
KEEP UP WITH THE TRAFFIC, OR YOU'LL BE DRAGGED DOWN
BENEATH THE WHEEL DON'T PLAY CHILD'S GAMES, THEY'RE JUST A WASTE OF MIND
STUDY EVERY NIGHT OR YOU MIGHT FALL BEHIND
DRAGGED DOWN BENEATH THE WHEEL
STOP! YOU CAN'T WIN
BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS CATCH UP IN THE END



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Enemy Within
MOMMY, DADDY, HELP ME PLEASE
I BEG OF YOU, I'M ON MY KNEES
SAVE ME FROM THIS LIFE I LEAD
THE PAIN, THE BLOOD, THE AGONY
I WANT TO STOP, SOMEHOW I CAN'T
THE TIME DRAWS NEAR, I START TO PANT
ONCE AGAIN I PUT IT OFF
I SWALLOW HARD AND THEN I COUGH
ENEMY WITHIN IN HEAD
I OFTEN WISH THAT I WAS DEAD
NO SELF-CONTROL OF MY OWN MIND
GOT TO STOP, THERE'S NO MORE TIME
I'VE GOT TO TRY, I MUST RELEASE
RID MY SOUL FROM THIS BEAST
IT'S MY LAST CHANCE, I MUST PREVAIL
CAST OUT THE ENEMY, I MUSTN'T FAIL
ENEMY WITHIN IN HEAD
I OFTEN WISH THAT I WAS DEAD
NO SELF-CONTROL OF MY OWN MIND
GOT TO STOP, THERE'S NO MORE TIME



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Strategy
QUESTION MARKS IN MY HEAD
MY MOUTH CRIED AND MY EYES BLED
I STRETCHED MY THOUGHTS, PUT THEM ON THE RACK
IN A MIND SO DARK IT'S ALMOST BLACK
STRATEGY, STRATEGY
THESE DISTORTED, CONTORTED IDEAS OF MINE
ARE TELLING ME SOMETHING, I THINK IT'S A SIGN
HIDDEN MEANINGS FOUND DEEP WITHIN
BROUGHT FORTH WITH THE TIP OF A PEN
THEN ALL THESE THOUGHTS ARE ON DISPLAY
PART OF MY LIFETIME STRATEGY
STRATEGY, STRATEGY



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Labeled Uncurable
FELLING SICK AND WEAK INSIDE
LOST ALL HOPE AND MY PRIDE
SOMETHING'S GONE WRONG WITH ME
DISEASED BODY, WHAT CAN THIS BE?
SHE TURNED ME ON TO HER FATE
NOW I LIE HERE LOSING WEIGHT
I WAS HOME AND BEING BORED
SHE'S ONE CHICK I SHOULDN'T HAVE SCORED
LABELED UNCURABLE
LABELED UNCURABLE
CAN'T TAKE THIS AGONY
UNSTABLE MENTALITY
INSANITY IS SETTING IN
I'LL TAKE MY LIFE IF I CAN
MY FAMILY'S ALL DISOWNED ME
UNTOLERATED BY SOCIETY
I WISH I COULD JUST GO HOME
BUT I'M STUCK HERE TO DIE ALONE
LABELED UNCURABLE
LABELED UNCURABLE
= FELLING SICK AND WEAK INSIDE
I LOST ALL HOPE AND MY PRIDE
I WAS HOME AND BEING BORED
SHE'S ONE CHICK I SHOULDN'T HAVE SCORED
NOTHING TO DO BUT WAIT
SIT AROUND FILLED WITH HATE
I CAN'T TAKE THIS AGONY
LABELED UNCURABLE



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You Say I'm Scum
I WANT TO PLAY MY MUSIC AS LOUD AS I PLEASE
I WANT TO GROW MY HAIR DOWN TO MY KNEES
I WON'T GET A JOB AND BE PUNCHING YOUR CLOCK
WON'T BE ANOTHER NUMBER IN YOUR LAY-OFF SLOT
YOU SAY I'M SCUM, YOU SAY I'M SCUM
YOU SAY I'M SCUM, YOU SAY I'M SCUM
YOU SAY I'M SCUM, YOU SAY I'M SCUM
YOU SAY I'M SCUM, YOU SAY I'M SCUM
I WANT A HOUSE WITH A WHITE PICKET FENCE
DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE I MAKE NO SENSE
HE SAYS I'M DUMB, SHE SAYS I'M SCUM
YOU SAY I'M SCUM, YOU SAY I'M SCUM
YOU SAY I'M SCUM, YOU SAY I'M SCUM
YOU SAY I'M SCUM, YOU SAY I'M SCUM
YOU FLEW RIGHT BY ME IN YOUR PORSCHE TODAY
HAND ME MY SKATEBOARD AND I'LL MAKE MY WAY
WHO ARE YOU TO TELL ME I'M NOT RIGHT?
YOU HAD YOUR NOSE TO THE MIRROR ALL LAST NIGHT
YOU SAY I'M SCUM, YOU SAY I'M SCUM
YOU SAY I'M SCUM, YOU SAY I'M SCUM



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gun Control
AUTOMATIC WEAPONS WERE MEANT FOR THE WAR
BUT HERE THEY ARE RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR FRONT DOOR
GANGS AND THEIVES ARE ARMED TO THE HILT
READY TO KILL WITH OUT ALL THE GUILT
LOCK AND LOAD
WE NEED GUN CONTROL
A SHOT RINGS OUT FROM DOWN IN THE STREET
THE GANGS ARE RESTLESS FROM THE NIGHT HEAT
THE COLD, BLACK METAL HAS MADE THEM INSANE
KILLING EACH OTHER IS PART OF THE GAME
LOCK AND LOAD
WE NEED GUN CONTROL
THE BARREL OF A GUN AT THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD
YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE IS ALL THAT HE SAID
DO YOU WANT TO DIE OR LIVE TO BE OLD?
DON'T THINK TWICE ABOUT GUN CONTROL
LOCK AND LOAD
WE NEED GUN CONTROL
WE WERE GIVEN THE RIGHT TO BARE ARMS
WHEN ARE LAND WAS ALL RANCH AND FARMS
THE LAW IS OLD AND IN NEED OF UPDATING
THERES NO TIME FOR HESITATING
LOCK AND LOAD
WE NEED GUN CONTROL



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kill the Words
KILL THE AUTHOR OF THE BEST SELLER
PLACE A BOUNTY UPON HIS HEAD
KILL THE WRITER OF OPPOSITION
TELL THE HIT SQUAD I WANT THAT MAN DEAD
I WANT HIM DEAD, I WANT HIM DEAD
KILL FREE SPEECH AS AN EXAMPLE
HANG THE CORPSE FOR ALL TO SEE
KILL ALL HOPE OF RESTITUTION
AND ALL WHO DARE OPPOSE ME
KILL THE WORDS, KILL THE WORDS
INFIDELS, PAGANS AND TRAITORS
ALLAH DAMNS YOU FOR YOUR BLASPHEMY
YOUR SATANIC VERSES
HAVE EARNED YOU A DEATH SENTENCE
I AM SWORN TO KILL ALL WHO MAY DISAGREE
ALL OF YOU HEATHENS AND UNBELIEVERS
I WON'T EVEN GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO FIGHT
I'VE GOT MY MEN OUT THERE WAITING AND STATIONED
READY TO STRIKE WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT
BURN THE STORES THAT SERVE AS OUTLETS
THEY ARE ALL MY ENEMY
KILL ALL MEANS OF DISTRIBUTION
THAT MAKE POSSIBLE ALL THEIR HERESY
KILL THE WORDS, KILL THE WORDS



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Drown you Out
WE'VE WAITED WITH PATIENCE
FOR ACCEPTANCE
INTO YOUR LAME-O STATIONS
YOU'VE LEFT US NO CHOICE
BECAUSE YOU WON'T LET US
VOICE OUR OPINIONS
WE'VE GOT TO DROWN YOU OUT
DROWN YOU OUT, DROWN YOU OUT
WHEN COMMERCIAL SPONSORS
DECIDE WHAT WE HEAR
SOMETHING'S WRONG
HOW MUCH MONEY WOULD THEY LOSE
IF THEY DECIDED
TO CHOOSE OUR SONG?
WE'VE GOT TO DROWN YOU OUT
DROWN YOU OUT, DROWN YOU OUT
WE'VE WAITED WITH PATIENCE
FOR ACCEPTANCE
INTO YOUR LAME-O STATIONS
YOU'VE LEFT US NO CHOICE
BECAUSE YOU WON'T LET US
VOICE OUR OPINIONS



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Trade
I'M ON A ROLL, OUT OF CONTROL
ANOTHER ONE-NIGHT STAND
I CAN'T GET AWAY 'CAUSE I'M ON DISPLAY
BUT I CAN'T SEE YOU, MAN
SMILE FOR THE CAMERAS, SMILE FOR THE FANS
SIGN THEIR RECORDS AND SHAKE THEIR HANDS
TRY TO STAY HEALTHY, TRY TO GET LAID
MAKE IT TO THE SHOW, THAT'S THE TRADE
SMILE FOR THE CAMERAS, SMILE FOR THE FANS
SIGN THEIR RECORDS AND SHAKE THEIR HANDS
TRY TO STAY HEALTHY, TRY TO GET LAID
MAKE IT TO THE SHOW, THAT'S THE TRADE
I SLEEP ALL DAY ON THE FREEWAY
ON THE BUS BETWEEN EACH GIG
I'M MAKING MY LIVING SINGING MY SONGS
DOING MY THING, DIG
I HAD A DREAM, SO I MADE SOME PLANS
THINGS HAVE A WAY OF WORKING OUT
I FOUND A FEW PEOPLE AND FORMED A BAND
TAUGHT MYSELF HOW TO SHOUT
SMILE FOR THE CAMERAS, SMILE FOR THE FANS
SIGN THEIR RECORDS AND SHAKE THEIR HANDS
TRY TO STAY HEALTHY, TRY TO GET LAID
MAKE IT TO THE SHOW, THAT'S THE TRADE
WRITE DOWN STUFF YOU FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT
OTHERS MAY FEEL THE SAME
AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU MIGHT BE A BIG STAR
AND EVERYONE WILL KNOW YOUR NAME
WHEN YOU LEARN THE TRADE AND YOU'RE ON DISPLAY
YOU CAN'T GET AWAY
EVERYONE KNOWS THAT NAME, EVERYONE KNOWS OUR NAME
EVERYONE KNOWS MY NAME



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Standing in Line
STANDING IN LINE FOR SOMETHING TO EAT
DRAGGING MY ASS, DEAD OF MY FEET
NO MORE POSSESSIONS, JUST MY CLOTHES
DOWN ON MY LUCK AND I'M SURE IT SHOWS
NO CONFIDENCE, NO SELF ESTEEM
WHEN I LOST MY LOVE, I LOST MY DREAM
ACHING HEART, HEAD AND SOUL
SLEEPLESS NIGHTS ARE TAKING THEIR TOLL
BACK TO THE HOTEL ON WELFARE STREET
A BEER, THEN BED 'CAUSE I'M SO BEAT
WALK DOWN THE HALL JUST TO TAKE A PISS
NEVER THOUGHT I'D END UP LIKE THIS
THE OBVIOUS CONCLUSION, THE INEVITABLE END
DEATH WILL BE WELCOMED LIKE A FRIEND



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Give a Hoot
I GIVE A HOOT, BUT I STILL POLLUTE
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH ME
I WON'T KILL, BUT I THINK I'D SHOOT
IF IT MEANT WHETHER OR NOT I'D BE FREE
SIMULATED SYMPATHY IN A WORLD FULL OF PAIN
IT'S EACH FOR HIS OWN IF THERE'S SOMETHING TO GAIN
I'VE GOT MY OWN PROBLEMS, IT'S HARD TO CARE
THERE'S JUST MORE DEATH THAN I CAN BEAR
SO I FLY MY FLAG AT HALF MAST
BIG, BLACK CLOUDS HANGING OVER ME
MY DAYS ARE ALWAYS OVERCAST
BURNT OUT BUILDINGS RETURN MY STARE
BUT I MUST HANG ON THOUGH THE SEA IS DEAD
I MUST HOLD ON SOMEONE SAID
I MUST GO ON THOUGH YOUNG MEN DIE
I MUST PUSH ON BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER WHY



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Worker Bee
YOU'RE A WORKER BEE, CAN'T YOU SEE?
A COG IN THE WHEEL OF THEIR FACTORY
YOU'LL DO WHAT YOU'RE TOLD UNTIL YOU GROW OLD
OR YOU GET LAID OFF BECAUSE THE COMPANY'S SOLD
CHANGE YOUR MIND TO CHANGE THE WAY
YOU'VE LIVED UP TILL NOW
GO SOMEWHERE AND HAVE SOME FUN
WHILE YOU REMEMBER HOW
THEY'LL BUY A MACHINE
KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
IT PUNCHES YOUR HOLES
AT TWICE THE SPEED
AND HALF THE COST
LOOK AT THE BOSS
A SMILE ON HIS FACE
HE'S LAUGHING HIS ASS OFF
CHANGE YOUR MIND TO CHANGE THE WAY
YOU'VE LIVED UP TILL NOW
GO SOMEWHERE AND HAVE SOME FUN
IF YOU REMEMBER HOW



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Abduction
WHERE HAVE ALL THE CHILDREN GONE?
HOW LONG MUST THE SEARCH GO ON?
SEE THEM ON THE MILK CARTON
SOMEONE STOLE THEIR ONLY SON
ABDUCTED FROM THEIR PLACE OF PLAY
IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN EVERY DAY
ALMOST LIKE IT'S DONE FOR PAY
BUT WHO'S TO KNOW AND WHO'S TO SAY?
POSTED IN THE CORNER STORE
TWO MISSING CHILDREN, MAYBE MORE
THEIR AGE, THEIR HEIGHT, THE CLOTHES THEY WORE
AND JUST WHAT THE WITNESS SAW
MOST OF THEM ARE NEVER FOUND
ALTHOUGH A FEW WILL COME AROUND
IN GARBAGE OR THE RIVER DROWNED
SOMETIMES SIX FEET UNDERGROUND
ABDUCTION, ABDUCTION
ABDUCTORS MUST BE REALLY SICK
SOMETHING IN THEIR HEADS WENT "CLICK"
A MESSAGE FROM SOME LATE-NIGHT FLICK
OR EVEN SOME BACKWOODS, RED-NECK HICK
THE SCHOOLS ARE GOING ON PATROL
'CAUSE NOW THE THIEF IS ON A ROLL
THEY'RE ADDING UP AND TAKING TOLL
ABDUCTOR MUST NOT HAVE A SOUL
WHERE HAVE ALL THE CHILDREN GONE?
HOW LONG MUST THE SEARCH GO ON?
SEE THEM ON THE MILK CARTON
SOMEONE STOLE THEIR ONLY SON
ABDUCTED FROM THEIR PLACE OF PLAY
IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN EVERY DAY
ALMOST LIKE IT'S DONE FOR PAY
BUT WHO'S TO KNOW AND WHO'S TO SAY?

Problem Addict
YOU'RE SO PROBLEMATIC
AND I KNOW IT'S SYMPTOMATIC
OF YOU OWN MASOCHISTIC ILLS
A PSYCHOANALYZER WOULD SAY
"BETTER TRANQUILIZE HER.
NUMB HER WITH SOME OF THESE PILLS."
A TRIPLE CASE OF NERVES
IS MORE THAN YOU DESERVE
BUT YOU'VE ONLY GOT YOURSELF TO BLAME
YOU'RE SICK AND SADISTIC
THAT'S WHY I GO BALLISTIC
YOUR EXCUSES ALWAYS SOUND SO LAME
YOUR LOVE IS FOR SALE, YEAH
I WON'T BE THE BUYER
BOGGED DOWN IN YOUR EMOTIONAL MIRE
YOU'RE NOT MY MESSIAH
JUST ANOTHER LIAR
GO FIND ANOTHER BANK ROLL TO HIRE

YOUR MIND IS BARREN, STARK
IT MUST BE STUCK IN PARK
YOU'D BETTER GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY
"TOMORROW'S ANOTHER DAY.
THINGS CAN ALWAYS GET BETTER."

BEEN ON MY BEST BEHAVIOR
YOU ARE NOT MY SAVIOR
YOU ARE JUST ANOTHER VICE
WAS I THIS WEEK'S FLAVOR?
JUST DO ME A FAVOR
AND STAY THE FUCK OUT OF MY LIFE
\WON'T BE YOUR PROVIDER
YOU'RE A COAT-TAIL RIDER
THAT'S WHY I'M SO GLAD WE'RE THROUGH
YOUR BRAIN'S A SHORT CIRCUIT
THAT'S WHY I'D RATHER JERK IT
THAN SPEND ANOTHER NIGHT WITH YOU

I'm the Liar
I LOVE LIFE BUT I DON'T THINK LIFE LOVES ME
I'LL RECREATE MY OWN REALITY
THE TEACHERS AND THE PREACHERS, THEY ALL LIED TO ME
THERE'S NO END TO WHAT A KID WILL BELIEVE

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON
YOU BELIEVE WHAT YOU'VE BEEN TOLD
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S UP
YOU BELIEVE WHAT YOU'VE BEEN TOLD

COLUMBUS DIDN'T DISCOVER AMERICA
JESUS WASN'T THE ONLY SON OF GOD
IF HE EVEN WAS THE SON AT ALL
IF THERE EVEN IS A GOD AT ALL

MAN ON THE PLATFORM BUILDS A FUNERAL PYRE
SIGN ON THE POST SAYS, "TODAY WE BURN THE LIAR"
UNBELIEVABLE NIGHTMARE, MY BODY'S ON FIRE
WISH I COULD JUST WAKE UP, FLAMES AROUND ME GROWING HIGHER







--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under the Overpass
Hungry vets carrying signs to our shame
Starving homeless soldiers
And who's to blame?
Once protected our freedom and our lives
Now society has cut all ties
Once trained to defend our rights
At the risk of his own ass
Now sleeps in a cardboard box
Under the overpass
Under -- Under the overpass
Like discarded pawns in a sick game of chess
Seems to be no place for them in this mess
A dime or a penny, whatever you can spare
They would work for food
For those of you who care
All used up and thrown out
Just like a worn out part
Keeps all that he owns
In a shopping cart
Under -- Under the overpass







--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They Don't Care
I GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL JUST THE OTHER DAY
OPENED IT UP, THIS IS WHAT IT HAD TO SAY:
"WOULDN'T YOU PLEASE GIVE US THE PLEASURE
OF HAVING YOU AT OUR TABLE TONITE?
FROM, THE DONNER FAMILY"
WE'VE BEEN HUNGRY FOR SUCH A LONG TIME
AND WE'VE EATEN OUR DOGS AND RAWHIDE
WE'VE GOT HALF OF OUR FAMILY ON ICE
THEY WOULD NOT WANT THE REST OF US TO DIE
THEY WOULD NOT WANT THE REST OF US TO DIE

THEY DON'T CARE
THEY WOULD NOT HAVE US STARVE TO DEATH
WE'RE SO COLD
WE'RE FREEZING AND THERE'S NOTHING LEFT
THEY DON'T CARE
I'M SURE THAT THEY WOULDN'T MIND
IT'S SO BAD
HALF OF US ARE SNOW BLIND

IT'S TOO LATE NOW, WE CAN NEVER GO BACK
WE CAN MAKE UP FOR THE PROTEIN WE LACK
FOUR DAYS OF NO FOOD HAVE LEFT US ALL WEAK
I FEEL LIKE I CAN'T STAND ON MY OWN TWO FEET
MY OWN TWO FEET, MY OWN TWO FEET

WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SUCH A LONG TIME
FOR SOME WORD OF HELP OR SOME SIGN
THAT SOMEONE'S COMING TO OUR RESCUE
UNTIL THEN, WE'LL DO WHAT WE HAVE TO
UNTIL THEN, WE'LL DO WHAT WE HAVE TO

THEY DON'T CARE
THEY WOULD NOT HAVE US DIE THIS WAY
IT'S LIKE THIS
WE HAVE TO FIND SOME FOOD TODAY
THEY DON'T CARE
THEY KNEW WHAT WE WERE GOING THROUGH
THEY DON'T CARE
THIS IS WHAT IT'S COME TO

WE NEVER FELT LIKE WE COULD REALLY DO IT
NOW WE’RE JUST THANKFUL WE ALL LIVED THROUGH IT
WE ATE THOSE PEOPLE BECAUSE WE WERE HUNGRY
YEAH, WE'RE SURVIVORS OF THE DONNER FAMILY
THE DONNER FAMILY


WE'VE BEEN HUNGRY FOR SUCH A LONG, LONG TIME
AND WE'VE EATEN OUR DOGS AND RAWHIDE
WE'VE GOT HALF OF OUR FAMILY ON ICE
THEY WOULD NOT WANT THE REST OF US TO DIE
THEY WOULD NOT WANT THE REST OF US TO DIE

THEY DON'T CARE
THEY WOULD NOT HAVE US STARVE TO DEATH
WE'RE SO COLD
WE'RE FREEZING AND THERE'S NOTHING LEFT
THEY DON'T CARE
I'M SURE THAT THEY WOULDN'T MIND
IT'S SO BAD
HALF OF US ARE SNOW BLIND

I GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL JUST THE OTHER DAY

Drawn and Quartered
COME APART UNDER STRESS
OPENED UP, I WON'T CONFESS
PULLED APART, THEY'RE FOUR OF ME
OPENED UP, AN ODDITY

CHANGING WITH THE TIMES
LIKE ROLLING WITH THE PUNCHES
BASING MY DECISIONS
ON THEORIES AND HUNCHES
ALL I EVER WANTED TO DO
WAS MOVE FORWARD
BEING PULLED
FOUR DIRECTIONS AT ONCE

DRAWN AND QUARTERED

COME APART AT THE SEAMS
OPENED UP FOR ALL TO SEE
COMING APART, BUT I DON'T CRY
OPENED UP, BUT I WON'T BLEED
I WON'T, I WON'T BLEED FOR
I WON'T, I WON'T BLEED FOR YOU

I WON'T LET YOU SEE
WHAT'S REALLY INSIDE ME
HIDDEN SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN
BURIED BENEATH THE SKIN AND BONE
AWAY ROM THE SMILES WHICH ARE LIES

RIPPED APART, I JUST LAUGH
OPENED UP, CAN'T HELP BUT LAUGH
TORN OPEN, AN OPEN BOOK
OPENED UP, PLEASE DON'T LOOK

I WON'T LET YOU SEE
WHAT'S REALLY INSIDE ME
HIDDEN SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN
BURIED BENEATH THE SKIN AND BONE
AWAY ROM THE SMILES WHICH ARE LIES

PLEASE DON'T, PLEASE DON'T LOOK AT
PLEASE DON'T, PLEASE DON'T LOOK AT ME







--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No End
SEASONS CHANGE AND THEY CHANGE YOU
ROUND YOU GO LIFE, AND THEN THERE YOU ARE
LIFE IS HARD, YOU KNOW THE TRUTH
OLD AGE CREEPS UP, ROBS YOU OF YOUR YOUTH
THROUGH SHEER LUCK WE SURVIVE
I'M SURPRISED THAT WE'RE EVEN ALIVE

THE SUM OF ALL YOU ARE
IS ALL IN YOUR MIND
THERE IS NO FAST FORWARD
AND THERE IS NO REWIND
DEATH WILL END THE GAME
NOW IT'S TIME TO BEGIN
ANOTHER SACRED SOUL
STARTING OVER AGAIN

BACK AND FORTH YOU PACE YOUR CAGE
IS ALL THE WORLD A STAGE?
BITE YOUR TAIL, CLIMB THE WALLS
RAT RACE GOT YOU BY THE BALLS?
BE TRUE TO YOUR OWN VIEWS
PUT YOURSELF IN OTHERS' SHOES
DON'T YOU WORRY VERY MUCH
NOTHING MATTERS, THERE'S NO END

MY HEAD'S HOLLOW, NO HEART OF GOLD
LOST MY MORALS, MY CONSCIENCE IS ON HOLD
MAY THE GOOD OUTSHINE THE BAD
REMEMBER ALL THE GOOD TIMES THAT WE HAD







--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wages of Sin
THEY FORCE FEED YOU LOVE, THEN SERVE YOU HATE
WHAT ARE THEY TEACHING? I JUST CAN'T RELATE
ALTAR BOYS ARE THE VICTIMS HE DEFILED
HE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE VIRGIN CHILD
GOT THEM DRUNK AND TOLD THEM WHAT TO DO
HE WON'T SAY IT, BUT YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE
THERE'S A REASON WHY HE REMAINS FREE
HIDES BEHIND THE CLOAK OF THE CLERGY

HE WAS A MAN, THEY WERE JUST BOYS
HUMAN BEINGS, NOT JUST TOYS
A GOD WHO'D ALLOW SUCH ATROCITY
AIN'T NO GOOD GOD TO ME
NO REDEMPTION FOR WHAT HE DID
CRIMES COMMITTED ON A LITTLE KID
WHAT DO YOU SAY? DON'T WAIT FOR A SIGN
TRUST IN GOD AND HAVE PEACE OF MIND

HE TOOK SOMETHING, HE CAN'T GIVE IT BACK
TOOK THAT INNOCENCE, CAN'T GIVE THAT BACK
ALTAR BOYS ARE THE VICTIMS HE DEFILED
HE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE VIRGIN CHILD
GOT THEM DRUNK AND TOLD THEM WHAT TO DO
HE WON'T SAY IT, BUT YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE
A CATHOLIC PRIEST, HE'S COMMITTED TO SIN
WHAT WOULD THEY SAY AT THE VATICAN?

Syringes in the Sandbox
THERE ONCE WAS A PARK WHERE THE KIDS USED TO GO
BUT NOT ANYMORE 'CAUSE THEIR PARENTS ALL KNOW
THERE'S JUNKIES AND WHORES AND BUMS DRINKING BEER
AND THE TRAGIC EVENT THAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR

TWO KIDS WERE PLAYING, DIGGING IN THE SAND
ONE WITH A SHOVEL AND ONE WITH HIS HAND
JABBED BY A NEEDLE CARRYING HIV
AND NOW HE'S INFECTED WITH THE DISEASE

HE FOUND SYRINGES IN THE SANDBOX
HE FOUND SYRINGES IN THE SANDBOX

THE COPS JUST WATCH 'CAUSE THEY'RE ON THE TAKE
MAYBE THE DON'T KNOW WHAT IS AT STAKE
THE LIVES OF CHILDREN, WITH CERTAINTY
MAYBE THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY

WE'RE ONLY HUMAN, WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
JUST SHOWS THE LIFE WE'RE WILLING TO ACCEPT
ANOTHER DRIVE-BY, EVERYONE STARES
WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO IS NOBODY CARES

HE FOUND SYRINGES IN THE SANDBOX
HE FOUND SYRINGES IN THE SANDBOX

Who am I
WHO AM I?
D.R.I.
WHO AM I?
THREE SIMPLE WORDS
WHO AM I?
A HUMAN BEING
WHO AM I?
THIS WEIRD THING
WHO AM I?
NOT WHAT I SEEM

REPEAT ALL (4X)

CHORUS:
WHO AM I ? D.R.I. (3X)

D.R.I.

Girl with a Gun
I DON'T TRUST THAT GIRL WITH A GUN
SOMETHING ABOUT A GIRL WITH A GUN
THE WAY THEY FLY OFF THE HANDLE
SOMEONE'S GONNA GET HURT

SHE'S GONNA HURT SOMEONE
THAT GIRL'S GOT A GUN
SHE'S GOT A 28
SHE'S GOT A 38
SHE'S GOT A 357 MAGNUM

SHE SLEEPS WITH ONE STASHED IN HER BED
AND SHE'S PACKING ONE IN HER PURSE
I WAS THINKING YESTERDAY
I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE IS WORSE

SHE'S GONNA HURT SOMEONE
THAT GIRL'S GOT A GUN
SHE'S GOT A 28
SHE'S GOT A 38
SHE'S GOT A 357 MAGNUM

MY GOD, GIRL, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
AND WHERE WILL YOU BE TOMORROW?
I SEE YOU SMOTHERED IN YOUR SIN
AND SURROUNDED BY YOUR SORROW

SHE'S GONNA HURT SOMEONE
THAT GIRL'S GOT A GUN

GIRL WITH A GUN, GIRL WITH A GUN
GIRL WITH A GUN, GIRL WITH A GUN

Dead Meat
YOU DON'T SEE THE BLOOD
YOU DON'T SEE THE PAIN
YOU DON'T SEE THE BOLT
GOING THROUGH THEIR BRAIN

YOU DON'T SMELL THE DEATH
YOU DON'T HEAR THEIR CRIES
YOU DON'T SEE THE FEAR
FLASHING IN THEIR EYES

YOU FEED UPON THE MEAT OF THE WEAK
THE WEAK MUST DIE TO SATISFY
THE NEEDS OF THE STRONG
THEIR PURPOSE IN LIFE
CAN'T BE TO MAKE YOU FAT
WE'VE GOT TO STOP THINKING LIKE THAT!

YOU DON'T SEE THE BLOOD
YOU DON'T SEE THE PAIN
YOU DON'T SEE THE BOLT
GOING THROUGH THEIR BRAIN

YOU DON'T SMELL THE DEATH
YOU DON'T HEAR THEIR CRIES
YOU DON'T SEE THE FEAR
FLASHING IN THEIR EYES

THEY LAUGH AS THEY SHARPEN THEIR KNIVES
IT'S PARTY TIME AND SOMETHING HAS TO DIE
THE MEEK MUST DIE TO STOCK YOU FRIDGE
AND THE FULL FREEZERS OF THE BLOODY STEAK HOUSE

YOU FEED UPON THE MEAT OF THE WEAK
THE WEAK MUST DIE TO SATISFY
THE NEEDS OF THE STRONG
THEIR PURPOSE IN LIFE
CAN'T BE TO MAKE YOU FAT
WE'VE GOT TO STOP THINKING LIKE THAT!

THE SACRIFICIAL LAMB
OFFERED TO A BLOOD-THIRSTY GOD
THROAT CUT, OCEANS OF BLOOD
LET IN GUILD AND FEAR
NO MORE, ALL OF YOUR SINS
HAVE BEEN PAID FOR IN PRAYER
KNOWING THIS, I'M SURE WE SHOULD HONOR
NO WITH DEATH, BUT WITH LIFE

YOU DON'T SEE THE BLOOD
YOU DON'T SEE THE PAIN
YOU DON'T SEE THE BOLT
GOING THROUGH THEIR BRAIN

YOU DON'T SMELL THE DEATH
YOU DON'T HEAR THEIR CRIES
YOU DON'T SEE THE FEAR
FLASHING IN THEIR EYES

CARNIVORES CONGREGATE TO PARTAKE IN
THE FEEDING, FEASTING ON THE FLESH
CIVILIZED CITIZENS GATHER 'ROUND THE TABLE
READY FOR THE SACRIFICE

THEY LAUGH AS THEY SHARPEN THEIR KNIVES
IT'S PARTY TIME AND SOMETHING HAS TO DIE
THE MEEK MUST DIE TO STOCK YOUR FRIDGE
AND THE FULL FREEZERS OF THE BLOODY STEAK HOUSE

YOU FEED UPON THE MEAT OF THE WEAK
THE WEAK MUST DIE TO SATISFY
THE NEEDS OF THE STRONG
THEIR PURPOSE IN LIFE
CAN'T BE TO MAKE YOU FAT
WE'VE GOT TO STOP THINKING LIKE THAT!

Down to the Wire
WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO THE WIRE
NO ONE WILL HELP, EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF
WHEN IT COMES DOWN T THE WIRE
YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU CAN FOR YOURSELF

THERE'S A CONTRACT OUT ON ME
NOW THERE'S NO SAFE PLACE TO BE
I'M ON THE RUN ALL DAY AND NIGHT
LAYING LOW, STAYING OUT OF SIGHT

I'M NOT SURE IF I CAN TAKE IT
I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN MAKE IT
ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD
CAN'T BUY A TRUE FRIEND

WHEN IT COMES DOWN, DOWN TO THE WIRE
WHEN IT COMES DOWN, DOWN TO THE WIRE

I'M SO TIRED, BUT I DON'T DARE GO TO SLEEP
HOW DID I GET IN SO DEEP?
I LEARNED SOMETHING THAT I'D RATHER NOT KNOW
MAYBE I COULD MAKE IT DOWN TO MEXICO
I KNOW WAY MORE THAN I'D LIKE TO ADMIT
AND THEY KNOW I KNOW, THAT'S WHY THE HIT
IT'S THE NOT KNOWING WHEN THAT I REALLY DREAD
THEY'LL BE AFTER ME UNTIL I'M DEAD

WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO THE WIRE
NO ONE WILL HELP, EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF
WHEN IT COMES DOWN T THE WIRE
YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU CAN FOR YOURSELF

CAN'T GO TO WORK, I CAN'T GO HOME
GOTTA FACE IT, I'M ALONE
HIDING BEHIND EVERY BUSH AND TREE
MAY BE SOMEONE WAITING FOR ME
IT COULD BE SOMEONE THAT I KNOW
CAN'T THINK OF A WORSE WAY TO GO
COULD EVEN BE A GOOD FRIEND THEY HIRE
WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO THE WIRE

WHEN IT COMES DOWN, DOWN TO THE WIRE
WHEN IT COMES DOWN, DOWN TO THE WIRE

Level 7
WAY DOWN HERE ON LEVEL 7
SO FAR FROM THE RADIATION

PUSH-BUTTON SOLDIERS UNDERGROUND
STATIONED SEVEN LEVELS DOWN
WE'RE EVEN DEEPER THAN THE PRESIDENT
WE ARE PERMANENT RESIDENTS
WE'RE HERE FOR THE DURATION
ONLY WE COULD KILL THE WORLD
ALL OF US AT PB COMMAND
WE'RE PREPARED TO MAKE THE LAST STAND
WE HAVE BEEN PROVIDED FOR
FOOD AND WATER HAVE BEEN STORED
MUCH DEEPER THAN THE POLITICIANS
SCIENTISTS AND TOP TECHNICIANS

WAY DOWN HERE ON LEVEL 7
HIDING FROM THE RADIATION

WE'VE GOT THIS TO WORRY ABOUT
IF THERE'S A LEAK, THERE'S NO WAY OUT
THERE'S FIVE THOUSAND FEET OF ROCK
THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO BLOCK
THE SIDE EFFECTS BROUGHT BY OUR DESTRUCTION
WE CAN ONLY FEEL PRIVILEGED
NO WORD FROM 1 THROUGH 5
MUST ASSUME NO ONE LEFT ALIVE

WAY DOWN HERE ON LEVEL 7
DYING FROM THE RADIATION

LEVEL 6 REPORTS SYMPTOMS
CAUSED ONLY BY RADIATION SICKNESS
SOME OF US ARE FEELING ILL
STARTS WITH VOMITING AND CHILLS
NO ONE ANSWERS ON THE RADIO
THE END WILL SURELY COME, BUT SLOWLY
GOOD-BYE FROM ALL OF US
WAY DOWN HERE ON LEVEL 7

Broke
GIVE ALL MY MONEY TO CHICKS
AND THE DUDE AT THE CORNER STORE
AFTER I PAY THE LANDLORD
I AIN'T GOT NO MORE

MONEY COMES AND MONEY GOES
IT'S ALREADY SPENT
BUT IT'S NO MYSTERY
WHERE IT ALL WENT

THAT'S WHY I'M ALWAYS BROKE
HEY MAN, IT AIN'T NO JOKE
I CAN'T SEEM TO SAVE
PAY MY BILLS OR BEHAVE

IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT MONTHLY BILL
I'D BE A MILLIONAIRE
"HEY GUYS, UP HERE IN FRONT
JUST PULL UP A CHAIR
GIRL, COME ON OVER HERE
YOU CAN DRINK YOUR FILL
BARTENDER, KEEP 'EM COMING
PUT 'EM ON MY BILL"

THAT'S WHY I'M ALWAYS BROKE
HEY MAN, IT AIN'T NO JOKE
I CAN'T SEEM TO SAVE
PAY MY BILLS OR BEHAVE

Sucker
EVER HAD ONE OF THOSE DAYS? ARGUMENTATIVE, NO INCENTIVE
CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT
I'M TRYING SO HARD TO ANALYZE AND COMPROMISE
BUT THERE'S NO SOLUTION IN SIGHT
CAN I LIVE UP TO YOUR GREED? SHOPPING, BUYING, SPENDING, LENDING
I CAN'T GIVE YOU ALL YOU NEED
WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A COMPLICATED SITUATION
ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?

YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR NUMBER AND YOUR ADDRESS
TELL YOUR ROOMMATES TO TELL ME YOU LEFT
YOU CAN SAY YOU WENT TO GERMANY
OR SOME OTHER FOREIGN COUNTRY

THERE'S SO MANY FISH IN THE SEA
EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND
THERE'S A PRETTY GIRL AND I FALL FOR HER
CAN'T HELP MYSELF, I GUESS I'M A SUCKER

THERE'S NO WAY THAT I CAN CHANGE THE PATHWAYS
IN THE DARK MAZE OF MY MIND
I GUESS I COULD TRY, BUT I'M SO LAZY
AND I JUST CAN'T FIND THE TIME

THAT TALL GIRL ANSWERED YOU DOOR, NOT TOO HAPPY, FORCED A SMILE
PICKING HER FACE WITH A FORK
SHE SAID THAT YOU HAD GONE BUNGEE JUMPING OR SOMETHING
SOMEWHERE IN UPSTATE NEW YORK
GATHERED THE COURAGE TO ASK WHEN YOU LEFT, WHEN YOU'D BE BACK
IN ANSWERING, SHE WAS SLOW
FORKING HER FACE, SHE SAID "LEFT TODAY, BACK ON FRIDAY"
BUT SHE DIDN'T REALLY KNOW

SCATTERED FRAGMENTS OF MY CRUSHED HOPE
MY CRACKED, BLACK HEART ON THE FLOOR
WHEN IT COMES TIME TO PICK, UP THE PIECES
I HOPE THAT THE JIGSAW PUZZLE'S COMPLETE

YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT, TOO
YOU THINK THAT? YOU MUST BE HIGH ON GLUE
I TOLD YOU BEFORE, AGAIN AND AGAIN
I'M NO DIFFERENT THAN OTHER MEN
SO MY EYES HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO ROAM
BUT THEY ALWAYS CAME BACK TO YOU
I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I CAN'T CHANGE
AND I DON'T NEED ANY HELP FROM YOU

DREAMY DAYS, DRUNKEN NIGHTS
ACID WORDS, NASTY FIGHTS
CHEATING HEAR, ROAMING EYE
LYING LIPS, START TO CRY
POISON TEARS, LIPSTICK TRACE
I'VE BECOME YOUR DISGRACE
JEALOUS LOVE, ACHING SOUL
RELATIONSHIPS AS A WHOLE
FALL APART OVER TIME
AND BREAK DOWN







--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Underneath the Surface
I CAN'T TELL YOU ANYTHING YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW
AND I'M REALLY NOT THE TYPE TO SAY, "I TOLD YOU SO."
BUT ACCIDENTS CAN ALWAYS HAPPEN, DEATH IS ALWAYS NEAR
SO IF YOU DRIVE TO HELL AND BACK, DON'T LET THE DEVIL STEER

YOU MAY THINK IT'S STRANGE THAT YOU ARE LIVING YOUR OWN DEATH
SO BEFORE YOU GO UNDER, YOU'D BETTER TAKE A DEEP BREATH
YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ON SHOT AT LIFE, DON'T SWING AND MISS
DON'T PUT TOO MUCH TRUST IN ANYONE, AND REMEMBER THIS

UNDERNEATH THE SURFACE, IT'S MUCH WORSE THAN IT SEEMS
AND I CAN TELL YOU, BROTHER, LIFE AIN'T JUST A DREAM
UNDERNEATH THE SURFACE, YOU WON'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY
AND I CAN TELL YOU, BROTHER, IT'S COLD INSIDE YOUR GRAVE

I COULD TELL YOU ALL EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR
YOU'RE ALL GONNA LIVE FOREVER, NOTHING MORE TO FEAR
BUT I DON'T WANT TO LIVE FOREVER, I'LL LEAVE THAT TO YOU
I JUST WANT TO LIVE UNTIL THERE'S NOTHING ELSE TO DO

UNDERNEATH THE SURFACE, BURIED FOR ETERNITY
AND I HATE TO THINK ABOUT JUST HOW LONG THAT COULD BE
UNDERNEATH THE SURFACE, PLANTED, BUT YOU WILL NOT GROW
NO ROOTS, NO LEAVES, NO SEEDS OF LIFE. GUESS THAT JUST GOES TO SHOW

UNDERNEATH THE SURFACE, IT'S MUCH WORSE THAN IT SEEMS
AND I CAN TELL YOU, BROTHER, LIFE AIN'T JUST A DREAM
UNDERNEATH THE SURFACE, YOU WON'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY
AND I CAN TELL YOU, BROTHER, IT'S COLD INSIDE YOUR GRAVE

EVERYTHING YOU REALLY NEED IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU
TAKE A BIG BITE OUT OF LIFE, BUT DON'T FORGET TO CHEW
YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE SHOT AT LIFE, DON'T SWING AND MISS
DON'T PUT TOO MUCH TRUST IN ANYONE, AND REMEMBER THIS

UNDERNEATH THE SURFACE, WE ALL GO INSANE
AND I CAN TELL YOU, BROTHER, IT'S COLD INSIDE YOUR BRAIN
UNDERNEATH THE SURFACE, I CAN TELL YOU HOW YOU'LL FEEL
AND I CAN TELL YOU, BROTHER, NOTHING HERE IS REAL
