You could lead the nation
You could bring salvation
You could own tomorrow
But you'll end my sorrow
When you leave me to hang
Tied up, bound, gagged
We could go a bit too far
Come along, c'mon, let's...
So, you've peaked my interest
And I'll follow your behest
Though there's something you should know
I like it violent
Come along, I've got a place
It's tucked around the way
We can go a bit too far
Come along, c'mon, let's play
Can't take it anymore
Blood spills upon the floor
Are you still breathing?
I can't stop the bleeding
Your skin is turning
Cold as winter
Oh no, what have I done?
Was just a little fun
Now I wash away the scene
Won't these hands get clean?
Can't take it anymore
Blood spills upon the floor
Real problems
Look like they've just begun
Real problems
It's just a minor cut
Real problems
No one can ever know
Real problems
All alone and in the sun

I'm chasin' ativans
It's what the doctor said
You know he's got a plan
And I'm chasin' ativans
I've been listening to
all of you
'Cause you've got all the answers
But I'm still stuttering
Are you in or out?
Now I'm moving on
On to better things
You know I've got a plan
And I'm chasin' ativans
Now I've got this gun
And I've got this badge
And I've got this flag
But I'm still stuttering
Stay. Chill. Pill.
Are you in or out?

Just Fuckin' Staring

Same as you
I belong to nothing
Cast away
I search for meaning
Same as you
I've been only bluffing
Wasting time
Just burning days
Seems I've dried out
Crumble away
Same as you
I've got nobody
Keep warm
In the light of TV
Same as you
I gaze intently
Tick-tick... there goes time
Same as you
I belong to nothing
Shook awake
On the couch
Still drooling
Where's the goddamn remote control?

Inertia
02:40
|
|||
|
I've been lost from the start
(and I don't care where we are)
Mind inert, empty heart
(I sure ain't goin' far)
Silent gaze, open mouth
(I said I'm burnin' out)
Given up
Easy now
Model citizen
'Cause I'm checkin' out
Blow my brains out
Every night

Right on the Money
03:06
|
|||
|
I chased the dream
I ate the rats
My Rolex shines
And yet, a wasted life
Burn it all
What you said wasn't wrong
What you said was right on the money
I won the game
You weren't playing
I made the rules
And yet, a wasted life
Burn it all
Hard to conceive
Just how naive you're being
To make believe
These dirty thieves ain't winning
'Cause they decide
How to divide the spoils
And yet with pride
You choose to side with toil
I've climbed the hills
In robes of silk
I've walked on glass
And yet, a wasted life
Burn it all
Life without care
With flash and flare
My name in lights
And yet, a wasted life
Burn it all
You're still wrong

Waiting
For the news
Turn the screw
Waiting
Nervously
Patiently
Waiting
Fluorescent lights burn my eyes
Waiting
When you see me
Mind the yellow
That's just dread
My faithful fellow
For my folly, it's the prize
When worst fears actualize
It's time to die

Hairy Brawls
02:23

Take a drink
I'm out to fight tonight
Take a drink
Bloodshot eyes
I've only realized
I've pissed myself
Wake up the city
Better run, you got n'un
Wake up the city
Better run -- the sirens
Face down
Feelin' tough in cuffs
Wake up the city
I'll be around, the next round

Best in the show
The best you'll ever know
She's a mean machine
Check 'er out
We gotta fight 'em off
At the show n' shine
We're gonna win it all
You know the cup is mine
She's a parkway dream
See her finish gleam
She's a highway scream
Check 'er out
Best in the show

Slum Hyku
02:27
|

|
Well, it seems to me
There's no chance of being free
I'll just sulk and seek pity
'Cause the slum hyku is here
I don't need no fucking job
I'll join the growing mob
of selfish, unproductive slobs
'Cause the slum hyku is hot
Waste yourself
Waste life away
Waste yourself
Desperate display
End yourself
Make sure to look cool
End yourself
So, I'll disavow
Every sacred cow
That bitterness allows
'Cause the slum hyku is now
There's nothing left to do
Yeah, it's all been done
Anger comes shining through
The slum hyku is you

Watch them decide what you are
Hear them discuss what you'll know
A good robot knows what to say
Programmed to know what to do
It's all the same
It'll never change
Killing me
Fading glow
Is this all we become?
Cogs in machines... assembly lines?
Is this as far as we go?
Initiate shut-down mode
I'd scream, but there's no one to listen

Seasons twist into storms
(We're the lucky ones)
Bodies churn into worms
Blast eyes gonna seal your fate
Passed off as mundane
On and on, on and on
You were wrong
To Stay
To Pray
To Say
Careful just what you say
Panopticon awakes
Text's gonna seal your fate
Because security
Inequality
Kings gonna have their cake
It's the same old way
Guess some things don't change
