Warning
This is a public service announcement, this is only a test
Emergency evacuation protest
May Impair your ability to operate machinery
Can't quite tell just what it means to me
Keep out of reach of children, don't you talk to strangers
Get your philosophy from a bumper sticker
Warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
Without. Alright.
Better homes and safety-sealed communities
Did you remember to pay the utility?
Caution: Police line, you better not cross.
Is it the cop, or am I the one thats really dangerous?
Sanitation, expiration date, question everything.
Or shut up and be a victim of authority
Warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
Without. Alright.
Better homes and safety-sealed communities
Did you remember to pay the utility?
Caution: Police line, you better not cross.
Is it the cop, or am I the one that's really dangerous
Sanitation, expiration date, question everything.
Or shut up and be a victim of authority
Warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
Say warning. Live without warning
This is a public service announcement, this is only a test
Blood, Sex, And Booze
Waiting in a room
All dressed up and bound and gagged
To a chair
It's so unfair
I won't dare to move for the pain
She puts me through is what I need
So make it bleed
I'm in distress, oh mistress
I confess so do it one more time
These handcuffs are too tight
You know I will obey so please
Don't make me beg
For blood, sex and booze you give me
Some say I'm disturbed
But it's what I deserve another lesson
To be learned from a girl called kill
My head is in the gutter
Thank you sire strike up another mandolin
Of discipline
Throw me to the dogs
Let them eat my flesh down
To the wood
It feels so good
Church On Sunday
Today is the first day of the rest of our lives
Tomorrow is too late to pretend
everything's all right
I'm not getting any younger as long
as you don't get any older
I'm not going to state that yesterday never was
Bloodshot deadbeat and lack of sleep
Making you mascara bleed
tears down your face
leaving traces of my mistakes
If I promise to go to church on Sunday
will you go with me on Friday night?
If you live with me, I'll die for you
and this compromise
I hereby solemnly swear to tell
the whole truth
And nothing but the truth is what
I'll ever hear from you
"trust" is a dirty word that comes
only from such a liar
but "respect" is something I will earn...
If you have faith
Fashion Victim
He's a victim of his own time
In his "vinage suit" and tie
he's a casualty dressed to the teeth
In the latest genocide
the new seasons come and go
at the dog and pony show
gonna sit and beg and fetch the names
and follow the dress codes
What's in a name...hey!
She's a scented magazine
looking sharp and living clean
living well and dressed to kill
but she looks like hell to me
So when you're dancing through you wardrobe
do the anorex coco
cloaked with style
for pedophiles as the credit card explodes
You auctioned off your life
for the "most" expensive price
going once...
going twice...
now it's gone
You auctioned off your life
for the "most" expensive price
going once...
going twice...
now it's gone
What's in a name...hey!
What's in a name...hey!
What's in a name?
Castaway
I'm on a sentimental journey
Into sight and sound
Of no return and no looking back or down
A conscientious objector to the
war that's in my mind
Leaving in a lurch and I'm
taking back what's mine
I'm on a mission
Into destination unknown
An expedition
Onto desolation road
Where am I
Castaway - Going at it alone
Castaway - Now I'm on my own
Castaway - Going at it alone
Castaway - Now I'm on my own
Lost and found
Trouble bound
Castaway
I'm riding on the night train and
driving stolen cars
Testing my nerves out on the blvd.
Spontaneous combustion in the
corners of my mind
Leaving in a lurch
and I'm taking back what's mine
I'm on a mission
Into destination unknown
An expedition
Onto desolation road
Where I'm a
Castaway - Going at it alone
Castaway - Now I'm on my own
Castaway - Going at it alone
Castaway - Now I'm on my own
Lost and found
Trouble bound
Castaway
Misery
Virginia was a "lot lizard" from F.L.A.
She had a compound fracture in the "trunk."
It started when she ran away,
Thumbs out on the interstate,
She hitched a ride to misery.
"Mr. Whirly" had a catastrophic incident.
He fell into the city by the bay.
He liquidated his estate,
Now he sleeps upon the Haight,
Panhandling misery.
He's gonna get high,
When he's low.
The fire burns from better days,
And she screamed why oh why?
I said I don't know.
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday,
Of misery.
Vinnie was a hustler out of Amsterdam.
He ran the drug cartel in "tinseltown."
They found him in a cadillac,
Bludgeoned with a baseball bat,
In the name of misery.
Gina hit the road to New York City.
Mysteriously the night Vinnie croaked.
She stopped in Vegas to elope,
With Virgina and the dope,
And kissed the bride eternally.
And they're gonna get high,
When they're low.
The fire burns from better days,
And she screamed why oh why?
I said I don't know.
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday,
Of misery.
Well hell hounds on your trail now once again.. boy.
It's groping on your leg until it sleeps.
The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow,
Because it's not what you make, it's what you leave.
And they're gonna get high,
When they're low.
The fire burns from better days,
And she screamed why oh why?
I said I don't know.
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday,
Of misery.
Deadbeat Holiday
Wake up, The house is on fire
And the cat's caught in the dryer
Philiosophy's a liar when
Your home is your headstone
"Icon" is the last chance for hope
When there's no such thing as heroes
Your faith lies in the ditch that
You dug yourself in
Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay
When the lights are going down
Deadbeat Holiday - celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Deadbeat Holiday - get on your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone
Christmas lights in the middle of August
Grudges come back to haunt us
Your oldest allies are your long lost enemies
Grounded in a duplex to find that
You're living on a landmine
Vacation hotspots is a cemetery drive
Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay
When the lights are going down
Deadbeat Holiday - celebrate your own decay
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
On a noose over your home
Deadbeat Holiday - get on your knees and pray
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high
But at least you're not alone
Last chance to piss it all away
Nothing but hell to pay whan all you
Want to do is... not to... give up...
Hold On
As I stepped to the edge
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
With my conscience beating
Like the pulse of a drum
That hammers on and on
Until I reach the break of day
As the sun beats down on
The halfway house
Has my conscience beating
The sound in my ear
The will to persevere
As I reach the break of day
When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapskated and the losers
Nothing's left to cling onto
Gotta to hold on
You got to hold on to yourself
A cry of hope
A plea for peace
And my conscience beating
It's not what I want for
It's all that I need
To reach the break of day
So I run to the edge
Of the shadows of a doubt
With my conscience bleeding
Here lies the truth the lost treasures of my youth
As I hold on to the break of day
When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapskated and the losers
Nothing's left to cling on
Gotta to hold on
Hold on to yourself
Take it up
(instrumental break)
When you lost all hope and excuses
And the cheapskated and the losers
Nothing's left to cling on
You got to hold on
Gotta to hold on
Hold on, hold on to yourself
Jackass
To know you is to hate you
so loving you must be like suicide
I don't mind if you don't mind
I'm not the one that's going to die
I guess I just can't listen
to this one sided conversation again
'cause I don't care if you don't care
No one ever said that life is fair
Everybody loves a joke
but no one likes a fool
and you're always cracking the same old lines again
you're well rehearsed on every verse
and that was stated clear
but no one understands your verity
The center of attention
got an honorable mention once again
congratulations and salutations
you're a figment of your own imagination
Everybody loves a joke
but no one likes a fool
and you're always cracking the same old lines again
you're well rehearsed on every verse
and that was stated clear
but no one understands your verity
To know you is to bait you
and you fell victim to your own denial
I don't mind if you don't mind
if you're wasting all your time
Waiting
I've been waiting a lifetime
For this moment to come
I'm destined
For anything...at all
Downtown lights will be shining
On me like a diamond
Ring out under the midnight hour
No one can touch me now
And I can't turn my back
It's too late ready or not at all
I'm so much closer than
I have ever known...
Wake up
Dawning of a new era
Calling...don't let it catch you falling
Ready or not at all
So close enough to taste it
Almost...I can embrace this
Feeling....on the tip of my tongue
I'm so much closer than
I have ever known...
Wake up
Better thank your lucky stars....
Say, hey, hey!
(instrumental break)
I'm so much closer than
I have ever known...
Wake up
Better thank your lucky stars....
Say, hey, hey!
I've been waiting a lifetime
For this moment to come
I'm destined for anything at all
Dumbstruck
Colour me stupid
Good luck
You're gonna need it
Where I'm going if I get there...
At all....
Wake up...
Better thank your lucky stars....
Minority
I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want to be the minority
I pledge allegiance to the underworld
One nation under dog
There of which I stand alone
A face in the crowd
Unsung, against the mold
Without a doubt
Singled out
The only way I know 'cause
I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want to be the minority
Stepped out of the line
Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time
To my own beat now
The only way I know
One light, one mind
Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"For crying out loud" she screamed unto me
A free for all
Fuck 'em all
You are what you are inside 'cause
I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want to be the minority, hey!
One light, one mind
Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"For crying out loud" she screamed unto me
A free for all
Fuck 'em all
You are what you are inside 'cause
I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority
'Cause I want to be the minority (I want to be)
The minority (I want to be)
The minority (I want to be)
The minority (I want to be)
The minority
Macy's Day Parade
Today's the Macy's Day Parade
The night of the living dead is on its way
With a credit report for duty call
It's a lifetime guarantee
Stuffed in a coffin 10% more free
Red light special at the mausoleum
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed to you
What's the consolation prize?
Economy sized dreams of hope
When I was a kid I thought
I wanted all the things that I haven't got
Oh. I learned the hardest way
Then I realized what it took
To tell the difference between
Thieves and crooks
A lesson learned to me and you
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed
Because I'm thinking about
A brand new hope
The one I've never known
Cause now I know
It's all that I wanted
What's the consolation prize?
Economy sized dreams of hope
Give me something that I need
Satisfaction guaranteed
Because I'm thinking about
A brand new hope
The one I've never known
And where it goes
And I'm thinking about
The only road
The one I've never known
And where it goes
And I'm thinking about
A brand new hope
The one I've never known
Cause now I know
It's all that I wanted
