TWO
OF A KIND
Hangin' out and lingerin' around
Cause you know where I'll be found
And I don't know how you do it
This obsession I must admit has shaken me up a bit
My solidarity now only comes in pairs
I'd like to see you
Before you see me
I'd like to see you
I'd like to see you leave
Showered by torrential praise
Why it is I can't explain
Attempts to leave yield no avail
For me I don't know what's in store
All I want is nothing more
I don't deserve what I get
I have nothing to return
HALF EMPTY BOTTLE
The ends don't always justify the means
But I know what it takes to get what I need
I've got the cure when passive protest just wont do
Just flick my Bic as I hold it to the fuse
Smash it up
Break it down
Bring it down, down to the ground
Tear it up
Burn it down
Burn it down, down to the ground
How long have we waited
For the day
When they tighten their grips
And we slip away?
The sound of breaking glass, drives me back up
It makes me whole, when I've been down on my luck
YURF RENDENMEIN
You keep on sayin' that you want to know me
But you never show me your true self
How can you ever expect someone else to know you
When all you're going to do is just pretend that you're
someone else?
You keep on sayin' that you want to show me
That you're really different, but your just the same.
If you're really mindless then there is no way that
I can win
Maybe you're just one of them
Or maybe it's just a game
You lie to yourself
And remain alone.
I'm not exactly sure of your motivation
I'm not exactly sure what you're tryin' to do
All I'm really sure is that you're not too impressive
And you're wearin' a mask that I can't see through
Maybe you're not looking for acceptance
Maybe you're striving for something more
If it's status that you lust then why try to be one
of us?
You're someone we'll never trust 'cause we know the
score
I WANNA A MOHAWK (But Mom Won't Let
Me Get One)
I may be ten years old but
I still know what's up
I wear my Cramps shirt almost every single day
I want to sag my pants
I want to pogo dance, but mom won't let me so I might
just run away
I wanna ride my skate
I wanna stay out late
I want a mohawk but mom won't let me get one
I wanna go to shows
Don't wanna pierce my nose
I want a mohawk but mom won't let me get one
I may be in fourth grade, but
I know what's going on
I listen to the Misfits almost every single day
Don't want to take a nap
I want a TV tat
But mom won't let me so I might just disobey
BROWNIE BOTTOM SUNDAE
Into the dark is where you're draggin' me
And into your dark is where I never want to be
I know I'm not alone and I really want to leave
Into the dark is where you want to watch me bleed
I'm feelin' kinda trapped, I gotta go
I'm feelin' kinda trapped don't you know
I'm feelin' kinda trapped I gotta go
I gotta go
I'm being dragged down, for how long, I don't know
I'm being dragged down and I rise up way too slow
I know I don't belong here and I think I ought to go
I hope that I can leave here, leave here with my soul
THE CHECKERED DEMON
Too much to find, so much so little time
So many images persist to shade my mind
Will I ever come around or will I just hit the ground?
Will I still be standing when it all comes down?
Why can't I seem to sort it out?
Why am I always filled with doubt?
So many people everywhere, so self absorbed without
a care
Of their viral lives, I'd like to bleed them all
When all is drained, who shall hold?
When mindless bodies screw tortured souls, will somebody
be there to catch me when I fall?
Why can't I seem to sort it out
Why am I always filled with doubt
How could I always be so blind?
Why can't I figure it out
I could always hope for change, could always hope to
rearrange
But why not just abandon hope and tear it all apart
now?
CEREAL WARS
Get up early in the morning, going to the store
Post, Kellogs, General Mills? It's the cereal war
Fuckin' store never has the monsters and they never
get more
Post, Kellogs, General Mills?
It's the Cereal War
I hope Sexual Chocolate is in stock, it's got a condom
in the box
I'll try some Cocoa Puffs today
What the fuck is Sonny anyway?
Some say Dino's are the best, they've got more marshmallows
than the rest
There's not a lot of cocoa in Cocoa Crispies
And always stay away from Wheaties
Now it's dinner time and I'm going back to the store
I had some Erkles, 'liked 'em a lot
It's the Cereal War
I wish I were Calvin or Hobbes and then I could try
Sugar Bombs
The soggies will never get Cap'n Crunch
I guess I'll have Crunch Berries for lunch
Breakfast cereals need to be sweet, that's the only
kind I'll eat
Give me sugar not nuts and twigs!
Do I look like a fuckin' squirrel to you?
THE MOTHER IN ME
Caught in a world that's plagued by something they called
love
A paradigm of illness is the beast I have become
The sights that I have seen could nearly bring me to
my knees
I've seen exactly what it is I never want to be but
I keep it deep inside myself
It's within me
Keep it deep within yourself and sink with me
Last night I had the misfortune to see it all first
hand
"Evacuate the premises" was the innate first command
What drives the need for all of this?
And will I ever understand?
Has someone failed to tell me of this master plan?
But I keep it deep inside myself
It's within me
Keep it deep within yourself and sink with me
RIZZO IN THE BOX
I'm always around you to show that I care
But I don't know what for
It seems to me that you couldn't care less
So I'm not going to do it anymore
I see no reason why
I've placed such a value on you
But my thoughts have changed now
I've opened my eyes and now I'm through
Lookin' back at my short life
The few pleasures that I've found
All your misconceptions pummel me into the ground
Now, I look at your small life and it doesn't mean a
bit
I pick myself up off the ground 'cause I don't give
a shit
They say all good things come to an end, I wish this
didn't apply
You were once someone I called my friend
But that's all now changed and I don't know why
Things are very different now
You've got nothing to say
It' s sad when someone you know very well decides to
fuckin' die and go away
KUNG FU DEVIL
It's said and done
There is no turning back
I've made my choice
Now I've gotta face the facts
Within myself, the hunger won't be subdued
Because I can't
Have my cake and eat it to
I'm worn down from fighting with myself
I'll save my life and lose my mental health
I'm wiggin' out
Everything is turnin' round
A bitter taste
No comfort can be found
An emptiness wells inside of me
There's no filling the void that will always be
A self control is all I have to hold
It's been too long
Maybe I have been to bold?
When you're bound by your own conviction a discipline
Can be your addiction
I'm worn down
From fighting with myself
I'll save my life
And lose my mental health
I've gone this far so I'll keep tryin'
Continue to fight, hope that I don't end up dying
YOUR NAME HERE
It's the same old situation
It seems it's coming 'round again
I wont play the fool, I'm not screwin' around
I only play to win
I only want what I deserve so who are you tryin' to
kid?
You can call it like you see it but I call it like it
is
I'm sick of shruggin' off your petty little ways
The names are always changing, in the end it's just
a game
We're runnin' in a circle, a never ending chase
You keep on steppin' out of reach but you won't win
the race
No more
waitin' around
No more hangin' around
No more draggin' me down
Everything's so easy for you but I've struggled to get
this far
I'm alone in the fight
What's wrong
Whose right?
I take it all to heart
Your true colors start to show
You call yourself a friend?
The teams are drawn
You chose your side
You'll get yours in the end
You play along to the same old song just as long as
you can win
When someone better comes along
You're too cool to let them in
So now I've got you wonderin'
If I've got it in for you
I'd like to tell you different
But I can't because it's true
NY-QUIL
Sleep
I want to stay in bed
All throughout the day
No one bother me
I don't wanna open my eyes
I'll lie here in my room
I have no need to see
No one wake me I just want to stay in bed
No one move me I just want to lie right here
Right in my warm bed
'Cause I don't want to see tomorrow
Here I am so happy
So just leave me be
I just want to stay
I do not bother you so don't you touch me
Get the fuck away!
DON'T MAKE ME ILL
Right now we've got a reason to live
but it's got nothing to do with you
We've got a lot of places we're gonna go
A lot of things that we're gonna do
In your world we may be no one
But what makes you think you're someone?
We have got just what we need and we don't need you.
No one
I can tell where our future lies
And you can tell we've got nothing to hide
The way things seem to me right now, everything will
be just fine
We're going to do it all our way
We don't need you to darken our day
We've never given up before and this stand won't be
our first time
No one's gonna tell me
I'm gonna do it my way
No one's gonna tell me how to get it done
OPEN YOUR EYES (CIRCUS TENTS COVER)
Lyrics...
Some day... maybe(?)
HIGHSCHOOL FOOTBALL HERO
Wanna be a highschool football hero
With an S.A.T. score less then zero
I wanna try to drink my weight in beer
I wanna be a highschool football hero
Wanna score a touchdown so I can score after the game
Don't care about my future 'cause it is just another
day
I'll rush for forty yards and drink four forties later
on
I'm done with this brunette, someone pass another blonde
Wanna be a highschool football hero
With an S.A.T score less than zero
I wanna try to drink my weight in beer
I wanna be a highschool football hero
My coach tells me to drink my milk and wash it down
with 'roids
I've gotta get my rest so I can party with the boys
My brain's put in upside-down so I'm just a little slow
I'll change my name to Bubba so that everyone will know
ONLY ON VINYL
SELF PITY
I'm always short on cash and my mind is in the trash
I can't find a way to get my head out of my ass
I'm gettin' skinny as a bone 'cause I'm always stuck
at home
I'm living my life all fucked up and alone
So once again, alone in my room
My only apparent future is my unhappy doom
So I just whine all the fucking time.
I'm hooked bad on caffeine, unless I get it I'm mean
I can't remember last when I was chipper and clean
I'm going insane, all I do is complain
The only traits I show are depression and disdain
The girl I love is going away
There is no way that she'll stay
I don't know how I'm gonna live my life this way
Don't want to have to try
I'll just sit around and cry
Maybe, if I get lucky, I'll just fuckin' die
KEY LIME PIE
Key lime Pie
Infatuation that shouldn't exist
Key lime Pie
Indulge and I am in your debt
Key lime pie
Inspire me with foolish love
Key lime pie
Your green filling makes me inept
Flaky crust is what I lust
Your fresh lime scent is a must
Take me with coffee, never with tea
You're the pie that pleases me!
People gawk "Is that pie green?"
Ask for a bite
"Fuck you, I'm mean."
Key lime pie cheapest hooker I've ever had
Key lime pie
Last slice gleaming, if you're out I'm mad
Key lime pie
Poke fun and laugh and jest
Key lime pie
Don't bother me
Digest key lime pie
