She Gets Me Drunk
One thing she can't stand to see is an empty glass in front of me
Or an empty bottle in my hand, my liver's wish is her command
Whisky, vodka, gin, & beer; some drinks are dark, some drinks are clear
But it doesn't matter what kind of booze, if she's pouring drinks I just can't lose
She gets me drunk (Oh yeah! Oh yeah!), I'm drunk
She pours 'em fast, she pours 'em strong; I'll be drinking doubles all night long
She sets 'em up and I slam 'em down, she's the coolest bartender in this town
If I'm at a party or at the bar, if she's around my drink's not far
Well I had a bad day but it's alright, cause she's gonna get me drunk tonight
Do The Suicide
You gotta do, do, do the suicide
You gotta do, do, do it right
You gotta do, do, do the suicide tonight
Tie the rope and kick the chair, flail around in the air
Grab the razor, slash your wrist; watch the blood spray as you twist
Take the vial and pop the pills, revel in your final thrills
Spin the chamber, cock the gun, pull the trigger and you're done
Drink the poison, start to laugh, or take your toaster in the bath
Now's the time to end it all, drive your car into a wall
Climb the stairs, now take the leap; or drown yourself down at the creek
Don't need no note, no reason why when you're gonna do the suicide
You're Creeping Me Out
I don't know what you're doing, I don't know what you're saying
I don't know what you're thinking, I don't know what you've been drinking
I don't like what you're wearing, I don't like how you stare and
I don't like when you hang out, I don't know what you're talkin' bout
All I know, all I know is that you're creeping me out
I don't care where you're going, I don't care who you know and
I don't care 'bout your problems, I don't wanna try and solve them
I don't care that you're crazy, I don't care that you hate me
I don't care for you lately, I don't care and there ain't no doubt
Ain't no doubt, ain't no doubt you're really creeping me out
You're creeping me out like you wouldn't believe
You're creeping me out with all those tricks up your sleeve
You're creeping me out and I wish you would leave right now
I don't care for your lyin', I don't care whenb you're crying
I don't care who your friends are, I don't want you in my car and
I don't got no regrets, and I don't got no distress and
I couldn't care no less, cause I don't care when I see you pout
When you pout, when you pout, because you're creeping me out
Little girl, little girl you're really creeping me out
All I know, all I know is that you're creeping me out
I Hate Myself (But I Hate You More)
I hate myself but I hate you more, I hate my life cause I'm so damn bored
The only things that I've found to do are hating myself and hating you
I hate this town and I hate my job, I hate your clothes and I hate your dog
I hope that I don't sound insincere but it just gets worse year after year
I hate your car and I hate your face, I hate everyone in this whole damn place
I hate your dad and I hate your mom, I liked your sister, but not for long
I hate your band and I hate your hair, I'll bet you hate me, but I really don't care
cause I hate my life like I said before, I hate myself, but I hate you more
I hate myself but I hate you more, I hate my life cause I'm so damn bored
The only things that I've found to do, are hating myself and hating you
I hate these words and I hate this tune,I hate September and I hate June
I hate this song and I hate this line, I'd hate some more, but I'm all out of time
Yeah Yeah, Alright!
Yeah, yeah!
Alright!
Come on!
Tonight! Go!
Yeah yeah, alright, come on tonight! Let's go...
Black Hole (In The Center Of My Brain)
Got a black hole in the center of my brain
It's got me feeling quite less than sane
I can feel my thoughts all going down the drain
I got a feeling that my fate is sealed
I try and escape but my thoughts all yield
To the black hole and it's gravitational field
I try and I try to break away
But I've got a sinking feeling that it's here to stay
And I'm spiralling further downward every day
The things that I think no longer make sense
I try and fight but I haven't got a chance
The power of the black hole's just too damn immense
Radiation Nation
Half-life, half-life, radiation nation....
Oh yeah! You know, we're all about to start to glow
Soaking up the rads day after day, after day
And all the microwaves and the gamma rays
And all the food that's been irradiated
Until there's nothing left that hasn't been mutated
Oh no! Not again! You can fight it 'til the bitter end
But still you end up facing meltdown after meltdown, after meltdown
And all the toxic waste that's seeping into the ground
The geiger counter's gonna be red-lined
The isotopes decay, but you're running out of time
(She's Got) X-Ray Eyes
She's got x-ray, x-ray eyes, and I don't see the things she sees
She's got x-ray, x-ray eyes, and I feel her staring right through me
She's got x-ray, x-ray eyes, and I don't think I like it, like it, no!
She's an optical oddity, like something from late night TV
I see her walking round at night, with her eyeballs swirling red & white
Like something from a comic book, I can feel her giving me that look
She's sending shivers down my spine, yeah she does it all the time
She'll freak you out beyond compare, when you're the subject of her stare
Like some sci-fi double feature, yeah she's got those creepy peepers
She'll leave you feeling weak and dazed, when you're the object of her gaze
20/20 don't apply, when you've got those x-ray eyes
State-Of-The-Art Heart
Well, my heart is state-of-the-art, it's made from cybernetic parts
It's impervious to harm, so don't even start
Cause no matter how you try, you can't rip it apart
It's compatible with my TV Eye, and my Radio Brain
It's not a Jarvik-7, so you know I can't complain...
Cause it's a state-of-the-art heart, state-of-the-art heart
State-of-the-art heart, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Well, my heart is state-of-the-art, the guy who built it must've been awful smart
With a mind like Nietsche or Rene Descarte,
If you wanna mess with me then you'd best depart
It runs on hate and alcohol, pumps poison through my veins
Oh, it's never off a beat, and it doesn't feel no pain...
Nowhere Zone
I'm living in the nowhere zone, got no car and I got no phone
I'm living in the nowhere zone, oh no! oh no! oh no!
I'm living in the nowhere zone, I can feel the chill in my bones
I'm living in the nowhere zone, oh no! oh no! oh no!
Well the street is always dark, and the street is always cold
My neighbors are all weird, and my neighbors are all old
There ain't no fun to be found
Because there ain't no one around
The days are all so wrong, and the nights are all so long
The light of the snow on the TV is my only illumination
Sitting in my room, it's all boredom and alienation
Now I don't have no money, to help me kill the time
All I got is some words, but I'm afraid that they won't rhyme
Another Girl, Another Prescription
Another girl, another prescription
Funny how the truth is a lot like the fiction
Sometimes you gotta wonder if it's worth all the thrills
When your medicine cabinet's stocked full of pills
Another girl, another prescription
I could do without the emotional friction
She's another damsel in distress
So my head's in a mess and I'm under duress
Another girl, another prescription
can't seem to escape a certain prediliction
For seeking out the damaged goods
If I could find a normal girl, I don't know if I would
Another girl, another prescription
So I'll announce this in my best diction
All I got now is time to kill
Till it's back to the pharmacy for a refill
Lab Rats
Gotta go to work and run through the maze, we're lab rats
Racing each other for the cheese every day, we're lab rats
Seems like I spend all my time running on this wheel
Electrodes on my head to tell you how I feel
Stick us with a needle and listen to us squeal, we're lab rats
Don't stuff us in too close to one another, we're lab rats
If it gets overcrowded we'll eat each other, we're lab rats
Cosmetics on our skin, and drugs are in our food
Chemicals in the water to help control our mood
Don't pull on my tail cause I think it's pretty rude, we're lab rats
The men observe us in their long white coats, we're lab rats
Watch what we do and take down notes, we're lab rats
They never tell us why, only that we must
Don't know what they're up to or what they want from us
I think we should view them with a healthy distrust, we're lab rats
The De-Evolution Will Be Televised
The de-evolution will be televised, a degeneration I think we gotta recognize
We broadcast our own decline and fall, with front row seats for one and all
Trailer-trash moms and suicide bombs and corporate accounting gone horribly wrong
Just wait till the news at ten and we can watch it again and again
Cause the de-evolution, de-evolution, de-evolution will be televised (X2)
The de-evolution will be televised, until out lives are network supervised
Sit back and watch with morbid fascination as the ratings climb with every aberration
Tonight a new reality show to show us how we've sunk so low
Who'll be the next teen idol pop singer, how long till they start throwing chairs on Springer?
Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on, turn it off!
Friday Night
I want to be with you on Friday night
I'd rather be with her on Saturday right
I got a wandering eye, if you knew you'd surely die
You know I'll be true, cause baby I love you
I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you, I wanna be with you
Or maybe her...I don't know...cause I'm a jerk
I wanna wake up next to you in bed
I'd rather wake up next to her instead
That's my situation, and it's causing me frustration
You know I'll be true, cause baby I love you
Stereo Therapy
Walking down the street with my headphones on, got it turned up loud
Get where I'm going and forgot what I'm doing, got the world tuned out
Three chords and a beat and that's all I really need
And everything else just fades away...
Stereo therapy, got the wires in my veins
Stereo therapy, got it pulsing through my brain
Stereo therapy, and everything else goes
Down, down, down, the drain...
You know that I still believe in rock'n'roll so lets play some now
Don't matter what you say, I ain't changing my mind anyhow
So plug the amps in and we'll turn the power on
And we'll keep on playing till everybody's gone...
Get home from work and you know I need a fix, so I put a record on
Drop the needle down, let the turntable spin until the dawn
Got a new stack of records in the mail today
And everything else just fades away
About To Snap
Well you know that I can't eat, and you know that I can't sleep
And I think, and I think that I'm going out of my head
Well I shake and I twitch, oh isn't it a bitch
And I wish, and I wish, and I wish that I was dead
Because I'm wound too tight and I think I'm just about to snap
Oh yeah, I'm wound too tight and I think I'm just about to snap
All the pressures of every day and all the people that are in my way
Well they got me thinking that I'm gonna explode
Cause I'm owned by the company and there's no way out that I can see
And my brain, yeah my brain I swear is gonna overload
Perfect Crime
You and me against the world, it'll be the perfect crime
We could pull off any caper, but we never seem to find the time
Nobody move, and nobody gets hurt
And we'll speed off in our getaway cars and our read and black striped shirts
Cause it's the perfect crime, perfect crime
They'll try and send us up river for a nickle or a dime
Will we get caught, will we get the chair, well I don't know and I don't care, alright!
I'll write you ransom note love letters cut from the pages of magazines
And we'll return to make out at all of our crime scenes
There don't have to be no witnesses and no evidence
Unless of course they dust you for my fingerprints
We might have to spend the rest of our lives living on the lam
But if it's me and you, you know that i don't give a damn
I don't want to settle for a life in the 9 to 5
So if you'll be my accomplice I swear that they'll never take us alive
Bored Out Of My Skull
Don't want to go to work, don't want to go to the bar
Don't want to go see you because it's just too far
Don't want to sit and stare at the wall
Don't want to do nothin', nothin' at all
Bored out of my skull, bored out of my skull, bored out of my skull
Again, and again, and again...
Don't want to watch TV, I don't want to read a book
Don't want to eat because I don't want to cook
Don't want to see family, don't want to see my friends
Don't want to have to see your face again
Don't want to go for a walk, don't want to go for a drive
Don't think I'm gonna make it out alive
Don't want to stay and I don't want to go
Don't think I want to go down to the show
Burn Down The Record Store
Going down to my local record store
Searching for the sounds that I got a craving for
Looking for hours but I can't find
Nothing to quiet the demons in my mind
So I'm gonna burn down that record store
Don't wanna hear that song no more
Yeah I'm gonna burn down that record store tonight
What they're calling "rock" these days
Turns my vision to a crimson haze
Turn the TV on and all that I see
Is American Idol looking back at me
Turn the radio on and all that I hear
Is stuff that makes the blood run from my ears
I've got a gallon of gas and I'm going downtown
Gonna burn that ol' record store down
Zombie Apocalypse 101
When Hell is full the dead will walk the earth
Unless they're re-animated by Science first
But either way when the corpses come for you
You're gonna find yourself with a job to do...
You gotta shoot 'em in the head, shoot 'em in the head
Don't shoot 'em in the chest if they're already dead
You gotta shoot 'em in the head, shoot 'em in the head, alright!
When you're trapped in the house and you don't know what to do
Don't go in the basement or else it's curtains for you
And when your dad gets bit, or your friend, or even your wife
They're gonna turn, so you're gonna have to take their life
If you don't have a gun, well you might still be alright
If you can crush their skull or burn them down tonight
But either way, you've gotta destroy the brain
So if you've got a gun my friend, the choice is plain
Get Your Shoes On
Did you know there's a rock'n'roll show, let's go!
What are you waiting for, c'mon, c'mon, let's go!
I got a feeling that everything's alright now
I got a feeling that tonight they won't let us down
Did you know there's a rock'n'roll show, let's go!
Get your shoes on, c'mon, c'mon, let's go!
I Am Not An Idiot
I am not an idiot, I'm just not smart
I am not a weakling, I'm just not strong
Don't Call Me
I don't want to talk to you on the phone, don't call me
I'd much rather spend my time alone, don't call me
I'd tell you that it's nothing personal, but I wouldn't want to lie
I'd tell you that I'm gonna call you back, but I think I'd rather die
Don't call me, don't call me, when it's late at night
Don't call me, don't call me, when you need a ride
Don't call me, don't call me, when you need a friend
I don't want you to call me ever again
I don't want to talk to you when you're sad, don't call me
You want to talk to me, but it's too bad, don't call me
I tell you that I gotta talk to later, cause there's stuff that I gotta do
I tell you that I can't take calls at work, but that just isn't true
I'll leave you hanging on the telephone...
The Next Mutation
From tunnels to the past, but we are what's coming next
You try and keep us down with you're hands around our necks
But we slip through your fingers, somehow we still survive
Just below the surface, down here in the dark we thrive
We are the next mutation, living underneath your civilization
Try and shut us down, at each and every turn
Too dumb to quit, too weird too die, and we never learn
Your exterminators cannot stop our constant evolution
I hate to disappoint you, but there's no final solution
When you find you cannot kill us or make us go away
You package us and sell us to try and save the day
But we're damaged goods, and you can't quite get it right
Then we might just self-destruct, we'll do it out of spite
Can't Stop Thinking
Can't stop thinking, I can't stop thinking, I can't stop thinking
And I've got to shut it off
Can't shut it off, I can't shut it off, I can't shut it off
And I've got to slow it down
Can't slow it down, I can't slow it down, I can't slow it down
And I don't know what to do
