IT'S ALL ABOUT ME
(chorus)
It's all about me, it's all about me
It's all about me, it's all about me
It's all about me, it's all about me
It's all about me, it's all about me
(verse 1)
Don't stop, don't think, let down all your defenses
Don't consider the truth or consequences
Do what you want, just do what you feel
Lost in your lies, what truth do you conceal?
(bridge 1)
Sensory depravation, total miscommunication
Covert operation, media manipulation
Do what you want, do what you will
So many lives, so much time to kill
(solo)
Exercise, mobilize, criticize, ostracize
Exonerate, confiscate, humiliate, obliterate!
(chorus)
It's all about me, it's all about me
It's all about me, it's all about me
It's all about me, it's all about you
It's all about me and you, all of us together
(verse 2)
Don't feel, don't care, have a heart of stone
Disregard the truth as if it is unknown
Do what you can, just do what you must
Even though you know you don't deserve my trust
(bridge 2)
Intimidate, interrogate, operate, fill with hate
Demonize, terrorize, desensitize, fill with lies
Terminate, fornicate, reprobate.....
TORNADOES AND HURRICANES
(verse 1)
The whole wide world's on the brink of extinction
And it's coming very soon, without hope or distinction
Murderers in power, lawbreakers making rules
Governments controlled by liars and fools
Profanity in church, pornography in the (Sistine) chapel
One long litany of sin, since Adam bit the apple
(chorus)
Tornadoes and hurricanes blowing us away
Give up, it's judgement day
Meteors and comets destroy all in their way
It's all over, now we're all gonna pay
(verse 2)
So much hellfire and damnation, all across the whole damn nation
Too late to turn back, no chance for salvation
Stadiums crumble, and skyscrapers fall
Cities are burning, there's no hope at all
(repeat chorus)
(verse 3)
It's a nightmare without end, all around the place
All I hear is screaming and wailing, explosions and guit-bass
(repeat chorus)
(repeat verse 3)
(verse 4)
Suddenly I wake up, and the sun is shining
Children are playing, everybody's smiling
The nightmare is over, and the world keeps turning
No reason to give up, just a time for learning
(repeat chorus)
WHO KILLED KINDNESS
(verse 1)
Images return like a nightmare without end
Trapped in Satan's clutches, he's posing as a friend
Falling ever deeper, innocence is lost
Trying hard to keep her, paying such a cost
(chorus 1)
Who killed sweetness, who killed kindness?
Who killed vision? lost in blindness
Who killed sweetness, who killed kindness?
Who killed vision? lost in blindness
(verse 2)
Things that I saw, I wish I'd never seen
Places I have gone, wish I'd never been
Things that I did, wish I'd never done
Now it seems too late, everything is gone
(chorus 2)
Who killed sweetness, who killed kindness?
Who killed vision, lost in blindness
Who killed feelings, and emotions?
Hearts are reeling from such commotion
(bridge)
You've hardened your heart to all that is real
Love is all gone, nothing do you feel
Tear down the walls, tear down your fences
Open up your heart, let down your defenses
(verse 3)
Promises of love, were only lies of lust
Eyes filled with deception, not worthy of trust
Got to find a way out of all this pain
Leave the past behind, try to start again
(repeat chorus 2)
TEMPTATION LOOKS SO PRETTY
(chorus)
Temptation looks so pretty, a real work of beauty is she
Temptation's gonna get you, a master of deception is she
(verse)
She tells you she loves Jesus, so how could it be wrong?
She's taking you to places you know you don't belong
You know that it's evil, you should never compromise
Distracted by her beauty, decieved by her disguise
She knows all your weak spots, how to get your defenses down
But when you really want her, she's nowhere to be found
She says that you'll feel better if you just give in
She's got you where she wants you, leading you to sin
(chorus)
Temptation wants your body, but she'd rather steal your soul
Temptation whispers sweetly, "give up all self control"
(verse)
She's taking you to places you know you've never been
She'll get you where she wants you, leading you to sin
"Everybody's doing it" she's whispering to you
"Give me all your lovin', all your lusting, too!"
She's telling you of Jesus, but the devil's in her heart
Doing so much evil, she wants to break your heart
BATTERED BOYFRIEND
(verse 1)
Have your way with me, do what you will
Cause everybody knows that you're out to kill
You tell me where to go, and what to do
You behave as if the whole world revolves around you
You take all my money, buy yourself a fur coat
While I'm here drowning in my leaky houseboat
I can't do anything without your approval
My friends are all campaigning for your removal
(chorus)
I'm your battered boyfriend, you beat me down
With all your vicious words, into the ground
Battered boyfriend, I've no backbone
But I'd rather be with you than be alone
(verse 2)
You take more than I can give, a greedy little crook
All the while you hide behind your holy black book
You make me live in poverty, in dirt and grease and smog
I don't get as much respect as the family dog
You criticize my every move, my singing and my song
Has it ever occured to you that you could possibly be wrong?
You keep haranging my with such persistance
Someday you'll nag yourself out of existance
(repeat chorus)
(bridge)
Take my money and my self respect
I guess a little dignity is too much to expect
(verse 3)
Scream and yell yourself back to your minx lined prison
You've never known the meaning of the words "you're forgiven"
Why don't you get a life and leave mine alone
I'm sick of you're ringing, ringing my telephone
I'm sick of traveling on your ego trip
Here's a quarter call someone who gives a rip!
(repeat chorus)
YOU TRIED
(verse 1)
You tried your hardest to change me
and wanted me to live by your rule
I lacked something you didn't
so you tried to make me look like a fool
You tried your hardest to bring me down
belittle me to feed your ego
Then you spread your vicious eyes
claimed all I did was illegal
(chorus)
You left me on a corner to die
I had never lived without you
Everything you told me was a lie
How can I live without you?
You were never my friend in the first place
So why can't I live without you?
That was my mistake
Why can't I live without you?
I always felt enslaved
Why can't I live without you
You were never my friend in the first place
So why can't I live without you?
(verse 2)
You tried to break my spirit
humiliate and disown me
Destroyed all my dignity
claimed you'd never known me
Robbed me of all I own
took the food right from my table
Beat me up and knocked me down
leaving me disabled
(repeat chorus)
(verse 3)
Well you took away my family
took away my house and home
You can try your best to kill me
but the spirit of a man lives on and on
(repeat chorus)
LONELY SUMMER
(verse 1)
I'm sitting all alone tonight, watching time go by
The emptiness around me makes me wanna cry
Was it only yesterday, that I held you tight
When I saw you smile at me I knew I'd be alright
(chorus) This lonely summer drives me crazy, it's killing me inside
The lonely winter will be cold, until I'm by your side
(verse 2)
Staring at your photograph isn't quite the same
I try to sleep but I wake up calling out your name
This emptiness inside my heart is only filled by you
Til I hold you once again, I'll always be so blue
(repeat chorus twice)
TRIBUTE TO RICK
(verse 1)
At last the news is out
that should remove all doubt
Finally your name bears no shame
and we can clear your name
It was a reporters desire
to blame you for the fire
I knew you weren't to blame
for that awful flame
(chorus 1)
Yes I knew all along
What they said was wrong
You see you can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself
(verse 2)
The tv and the radio
brought us a new hero
Singing 'Hello Mary Lou'
and a 'Poor Little Fool'
Some said it couldn't last
You'd soon be in the past
Your records topped the charts
And entered into our hearts
(repeat chorus 1)
(verse 3)
In your plane you had such pride
but it was there you died
I guess we'll never know why
He took you from the sky
You're in another land
you're in the angel band
I hope that you still know
you're friends all miss you so
(chorus 2)
And we'll never forget the one
Who taught us all so well
You can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself
ROAD TO FAIRFAX
(verse 1)
The long tailed, twisted, midget guard opens the gates at dawn
While rambling, gambling, poetic drunks crawl back to Babylon
Uttering nightmarish, twisted childhood dreams for anyone with ears
Heading down the road to Fairfax
(verse 2)
The sirens wail "the end is near for all ye girls and boys"
And scientific, ingrate sons try to be heard above the noise
While polar bears with sunglasses hide behind their fears
As they're walking down the road to Fairfax
(verse 3)
The shower heads and flowered beds keep speaking to no one
And armchair soldiers lift the shades, hoping to see the Son
And Sgt. Friday, and Forrest Gump is looking for Peter Gunn
And there are no laws on the road to Fairfax
(verse 4)
The psycadelic tabby cat is purring in the zoo
For Siamese Sam and Stubby Manx, two friends without a clue
While the lying king and John Cougar decide just what to do
And the bridge is down, on the road to Fairfax
(verse 5)
Prophetic pigs and pigeon holes foretell of impending doom
While visionary vacuum men suck up all the gloom
And backwards walking, talking heads try to leave the room
And there are no rooms on the road to Fairfax
(verse 6)
The lonely school custodian searches for Prince Albert in the can
While refrigerators run down the hall when they hear the ice cream van
And 10 pound bowling balls roll down the lane without a plan
There are no plans on the road to Fairfax
I HATE MYSELF AND I WANNA DIE (Christian punk)
(chorus 1)
I hate myself and I wanna die
Pull the lever, I wanna get fried
I'm a sinner, I've lived a lie
Take me to my home on high
(verse 1)
Jesus loves me, yes I know
That's the reason I wanna go
To meet my Maker forevermore
To find the answers behind the door
I hate myself, I don't want to live
I've got nothing left to give
I'm sick of fighting temptation, sin
I hate myself for giving in
(repeat chorus 1)
(verse 2)
Jesus died for me, I know
So why can't I be next to go?
This life on earth brings misery
They locked the door, threw away the key
(solo)
(chorus 2)
Change your clothes, ,now cut your hair
We're going to the electric chair
I hate myself and I wanna die
Hit the switch, I wanna get fried
YOU'RE A LOSER
(chorus 1)
You're a loser
Just a loser
Go jump in a lake and get drowned in the deep
Drive your car off a bridge, you're a rotten old creep
You're a loser
You're a loser
Get the hell out of here, go play your guitar
But give up your dreams of being a star
You big loser!
No good loser!
(verse 1)
How long must I endure these taunts?
Am I the only one who doesn't get what he wants?
The battle's been long and it's wearin' me down
The water is high and I'm starting to drown
(bridge)
Please give me peace
Please give me love
Give me some understanding
Please let me be
Please let me see
What You are demanding
(chorus 2)
You're a loser
Just a loser
You're so overweight and you're ugly, too
Why would anybody want a friend like you?
You're a loser
You're a loser
Go jump off a bridge 'cause you deserve to die
You're a hopeless case and you deserve to fry
You big loser!
No good loser!
(verse 2)
The voices inside go on and on
They're wearing me down 'til all hope is gone
They're screaming at me and I'm ready to drop
I try to find peace, but the voices won't stop
(bridge 2)
Please give me peace
Please give me love
Growing so deep inside me
Please let me be
Please let me see
Please walk beside me
(instru mental
(verse 3)
The voices inside go on and on
They're wearing me down 'til all hope is gone
(coda)
