ONCE
I admit it...what's to say
I'll relive it...without pain
Backstreet lover on the side of the road
I got a bomb in my temple that is gonna explode
I got a sixteen gauge buried under my clothes...I play...
Once upon a time I could control myself
Oooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah
Oh, try and mimic...what's insane
I am in it...where do I stand?
Indian summer and I hate the heat
I got a backstreet lover on the passenger seat
I got my hand in my pocket, so determined, discreet...I pray...
Once upon a time I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah
You think I got my eyes closed
But I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time
Ooh, once upon a time I could control myself, yeah
Once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah
Once, upon a time I could love myself, yeah
Once upon a time I could love you, yeah
Once (5x)
Once, yeah, yeah
Yeah
EVEN FLOW
Freezin', rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again
Oh, Feelin' maybe he'll see a little better, set a days, ooh yeah
Oh, hand out, faces that he sees time again ain't that familiar, oh yeah
Oh, dark grin, he can't help, when he's happy looks insane, oh yeah
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again
Life again, life again...
Kneelin', looking through the paper though he doesn't know to read, ooh yeah
Oh, prayin', now to something that has never showed him anything
Oh, feelin', understands the weather of the winters on its way
Oh, ceilings, few and far between all the legal halls of shame, yeah
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again
Whispering hands, gently lead him away
Him away, him away...
Yeah!
Woo...Ah yeah...Fuck it up...
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again, yeah
Oh, whispering hands, gently lead him away
Him away, him away...
Yeah!
Woo...Uh huh...Yeah, yeah, mommy, mommy...
ALIVE
Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin' but a...
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin', sorry you didn't see him, but I'm glad we talked...
Oh I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey...oh...
Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room
She said I'm ready...for you
I can't remember anything to this very day
'Cept the look, the look...
Oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare...
I, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Hey I, boy, I'm still alive
Hey I, I, I, I'm still alive, yeah
Ooh yeah...yeah yeah yeah...oh...oh...
Is something wrong, she said
Well of course there is
You're still alive, she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be
Is that the question
And if so...if so...who answers...who answers...
I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Yeah I, ooh, I'm still alive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
WHY GO
She scratches a letter into a wall made of stone
Maybe someday another child won't feel as alone as she does
It's been two years, and counting, since they put her in this place
She's been diagnosed by some stupid fuck, and mommy agrees, yeah...
Why go home... (3x)
She seems to be stronger, but what they want her to be is weak
She could play pretend, she could join the game, boy
She could be another clone...
Why go home? (4x)
What you taught me...put me here...don't come visit...mother...
Why go home? (4x)
What you taught me...put me here...don't come visit...mother, mother, yeah...
Why go home? (7x)
BLACK
Hey...oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was, everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all, that she was
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll ever be...yeah...
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine
JEREMY
At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops, with him on top
Lemon yellow sun, arms raised in a V
The dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn't give attention
To the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked, oh, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today (2x)
Clearly I remember pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
But we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast
How could I forget?
And he hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurtin', ooh, dropped wide open
Just like the day, oh, like the day I heard
Daddy didn't give affection
And the boy was something mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today (3x)
Woo (14x)
Try to forget this...try to forget this...
Try to erase this...try to erase this...
Jeremy spoke in class today (2x)
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in (2x)
Jeremy spoke in class today
Woo (29x)
Woooooohhh...Spoke in, spoke in
Woooooohhh...uh huh, uh huh...
OCEANS
Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Glide me towards...
You know something's left
And we're all allowed
To dream of the next
Oh, ohh the next, time we touch...
Oooh (4x)
You don't have to stray
Tho oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts
Hold tight the ring...
The sea will rise...
Please stand by the shore...
Oh, oh, oh, I will be...
I will be there once more...
Oooh (4x)
Uh huh, oh yeah (2x)
PORCH
What the fuck is this world
Running to, you didn't
Leave a message, at least I
Coulda' learned your voice one last time
Daily minefield, this could
Be my time, 'bout you?
Would you hit me? (2x)
Oh...oh...wow...
All the bills go by, and
Initiatives are taken up
By the middle, there ain't gonna be any middle any more
And the cross I'm bearing home
Ain't indicative of my place
Left the porch (2x)
Oh...
Hear my name, take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand, walk beside me
I just need to say...
Hear my name, take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand, lie beside me
I just need to say
I could not take a just one day
I know that I would not ever touch you
Hold you...feel you...ever hold...never again...
Yeah (12x)
GARDEN
The direction of the eye, so misleading
The defection of the soul, nauseously quick
I don't question, our existence
I just question, our modern needs
I will walk...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden of stone
After all is done, and we're still alone
I won't be taken, yet I'll go...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden of stone
I don't show...I don't share...
I don't need, yeah...What you have to give...
Oooh, I will walk...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden...oh...
I will walk with my hands bound
I will walk into your garden, garden of stone...
I don't know...I don't care
I don't need, yeah...Need to live
Uh huh huh...
DEEP
On the edge, windowsill
Ponders his maker, ponders his will
To the street below, he just ain't nothin'
But he's got a great view, and he sinks the needle deep, yeah
Oh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah...oh, can't touch the bottom
Oh, on the edge of a know-nothin' town
Feelin' quite superior, the aged come
To the sky above he just ain't nothin'
But he's got a great view, and he sinks a burning knife deep, yeah...
Ooh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah...uh huh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep...
Ohhh...Ohhh...
On the edge of a Christmas clean love
Young virgin from heaven...visiting Hell
To the man above her, she just ain't nothin'
And she doesn't like the view
She doesn't like the view (2x)
But he sinks himself deep
Oh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah...oh, can't touch the bottom
Can't touch the bottom
Deep, yeah
Oh, the bottom (6x)
RELEASE
I see the world, feel the chill
Which way to go, windowsill
I see the world's on a rocking horse of time
I see the birds in the rain
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...
Oh, dear dad, can you see me now
I am myself, like you somehow
I'll ride the wave where it takes me
I'll hold the pain...Release me...
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...
Oh, dear dad, can you see me now
I am myself, like you somehow
I'll wait up in the dark for you to speak to me
I'll open up...Release me...
Release me (3x)
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...
GO
Oh please don't go out on me, don't go out on me now
Never acted up before, don't go on me now
I swear I never too it for granted, just thought of it now
Suppose I abused you, just passing it on
Go...fuck...
Once fastened, servile, now your getting sharp
Moving oh so swiftly, with such disarm
I pulled the covers over him, shoulda' pulled the alarm
Turned to my nemesis, a full on fucking god
No...time...suck...my...Please...
Don't go on me (4x)
Please...oh...
Suck...blood...touch...please, tunnel vision...tuck...time...see...
Please, please, please...
Don't go on me (4x)
Please...Don't you want me...don't go on me...
Please...don't go on me..
OB
ANIMAL
One, two, three, four, five against one
Five, five, against one
Said one, two, three, four, five against one
Five, five...five, five...five against one
Torch her from you to me
Abducted from the street
I'd rather be...
I'd rather be with...
I'd rather be with an animal
Why would you wanna hurt me, oh
So frightened of your pain
I'd rather be...
I'd rather be with...
I'd rather be with an animal

One, two, three, four, five against one
Five, five...five, five...five against one
DAUGHTER
Alone...listless...breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl...violins...center of her own attention
The, mother reads aloud, child, tries to understand it
Tries to make her proud
The shades go down, it's in her head
Painted room...can't deny there's something wrong...
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...
She holds the hand that holds her down
She will...rise above...ooh...oh...
Don't call me daughter, not fit to }
The picture kept will remind me } (2x)
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be }
The picture kept will remind me }
Don't call me...
The shades go down (2x)
The shades go, go, go...
GLORIFIED G
Got a gun, fact I got two
That's O.K. man, cuz I love god
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Feels so manly, when armed
Glorified version of a pellet gun (4x)
Don't think, dumb is strength
Never shot at a living thing
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Feels so manly, when armed
Glorified version of a pellet gun (3x)
Glorified version of a...
Always keep it loaded (3x)
Kindred to be an American...
Life comes...I can feel your heart...
Ooh...life comes...I can feel your heart through your neck...
Life comes...I can feel your heart through your neck...
Life comes...I can steal your heart form your neck...
Glorified...glorified...
DISSIDENT
She nursed him there, ooh, over a night
I wasn't so sure she wanted him to stay
What to say...what to say
But soon she was down, soon he was low
At a quarter past...a holy no...
She had to turn around
When she couldn't hold, oh...she folded...
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here
And to this day, she's glided on
Always home but so far away
Like a word misplaced
Nothing said, what a waste
When she had contact...with the conflict...
There was meaning, but she sold him to the state
She had to turn around
When she couldn't hold...she folded...
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh......oh...oh...
She gave him away when she couldn't hold...no...she folded...
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh...
Couldn't hold on...she couldn't hold...no...she folded...
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest place, oh...
A dissident is here
W.M.A.
He won the lottery when he was born
Took his mothers white breast to his tongue
Trained like dogs, color and smell
Walks by me to get to Hell
Police man (2x)
He won the lottery by being born
Big hand slapped a white male 'merican
Do no wrong, so clean cut
Dirty his hands, it comes right off
Police man (2x)
Police stopped my brother again (3x)
Police man (2x)
Jesus greets me...looks just like me...
Do no wrong, so clean cut
Dirty his hands, it comes right off
Police man (3x)
Police stopped my brother again (3x)
Police man (2x)
Police stopped my brother again (3x)
Police man (3X)
All my pieces set me free...human devices set me free...
BLOOD
Spin me round, roll me over, fuckin' circus
Stab it down, one way needle, pulled so slowly
Drains and spills, soaks the pages, fills their sponges
It's my blood (2x)
Paint Ed big...Turn Ed into...One of his enemies...
It's my blood (3x)
Stab it down, fill the pages, suck my life out
Victor of my enemies...
Take...my...
My...my...my...my...my...my...
REARVIEWMIRROR
I took a drive today
Time to emancipate
I guess it was the beatings made me wise
But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize
I couldn't breathe, holdin' me down
Hand on my face, kissin' the ground
Enmity gauged, united by fear
'Posed to endure what I could not forgive...
I seem to look away
Wounds in the mirror waved
It wasn't my surface most defiled
Head at your feet, fool to your crown
Fist on my plate, swallowed it down
Enmity gauged, united by fear
Tried to endure what I could not forgive
Saw things (4x)
Clearer (2x)
Once you, were in my...Rearview mirror...
I gather speed from you fucking with me
Once and for all I'm far away
I hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...hey...
Saw things so much clearer }
Once you, once you... } (3x)
Rearview mirror }
Saw things so much clearer
Once you...oh yeah...
RATS
They don't eat, don't sleep
They don't feed, they don't seethe
Bare their gums when they moan and squeak
Lick the dirt off a larger one's feet
They don't push, don't crowd
Congregate until they're much too loud
Fuck to procreate till they are dead
Drink the blood of their so called best friend
They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
Don't pack themselves together and run as one
Don't shit where they're not supposed to
Don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare
They don't scam, don't fight
Don't oppress an equals given rights
Starve the poor so they can be well fed
Line their holes with the dead ones bread
They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way }
Don't pack themselves together and run as one } (2x)
Don't shit where they're not supposed to }
Don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare... }
Rats...They don't compare (2x)
Ben, the two of us need look no more (5X)
ELDERLY WOMAN BEHIND THE COUNTER IN A SMALL TOWN
I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me
All these changes taking place, I wish I'd seen the place
But no one's ever taken me
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (2x)
I swear I recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me, you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former
It's hard when, your stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see
I just want to scream...hello...
My god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return
But now here you are, and here I am
Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (2x)
Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (3x)
Hearts and thoughts they fade...
LEASH
Troubled souls unite, we got ourselves tonight, oh...
I am fuel, you are friends, we got the means to make amends
I am lost, I'm no guide, but I'm by your side
I am right by your side, yeah...
Young lover I stand
It was their idea, I proved to be a man
Take my fucking hand
It was their idea, I proved to be a man
Will myself to find a home, a home within myself
We will find a way, we will find our place
Drop the leash, drop the leash... } (3x)
Get outta' my fuckin' face }
Drop the leash, we are young (2x)
Oh, get outta' my fuckin' face...
Drop the leash, drop the leash...
Get outta' my, my...
Delight, delight, delight in our youth...oww...
Get outta' my fuckin' face...
INDIFFERENCE
I will light the match this mornin', so I won't be alone
Watch as she lies silent, for soon light will be gone
Oh, I will stand arms outstretched, pretend I'm free to roam
Oh, I will make my way, through, one more day...alone...
How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make, yeah...
I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
Oh, I'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
Oh, I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
Hey, I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind
How much difference does it make
Mmm, how much difference does it make..how much difference...
I'll swallow poison, until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room
How much difference (2x)
How much difference does it make (2x)
SPIN THE BLACK CIRCLE
See this needle...see my hand...
Drop, drop, dropping it down...oh, so gently...
I'm hearing claws...I touch the flames...
Turn me up...what a new way...
Spin, spin, spin the black circle
Spin, spin, spin the black, spin the black
Spin, spin, spin the black circle
Spin, spin...
Pull it out...open the sleeve...
Oh, my joy...only you can take those seats...
I'm so big...in my own world...
Where are you...where are you...
Spin, spin, spin the black circle
Spin, spin, spin the black, spin the black
Spin, spin, spin the black circle
Spin, spin...
You're so warm...
Oh, you're all warm...
My lady, you're cookin'...
Spin, spin, spin the black circle
Spin, spin, spin the black, spin the black
Spin, spin, spin the black circle
Spin, spin...
TREMOR CHRIST
Winded is the sailor...drifting by the storm...
Wounded is the open knee left, oh...bloodied on the shore...
Claudius was your savior Ceaser...drowning in his wake...
I barely taste the salt of her tears born...I can't blame fate...
Little secrets tremors...turn to quake...
The smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...
Have some faith the Devils...he wispers crazy words...
Triumphant target angels...if they can get there first...
Little secrets tremors...turn to quake...
The smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...
I'll decide...
Take my time...
Take my time...
Not my life...
Wait for signs...
Believe in lies...
To get by...
This is mine...
Oh, you know what it's like...
Turns the bow back towards him...
Drops the line...
Put his faith and love in Tremor Christ...
ALONE
Wide awake and he shakes in a panic
Never woke up alone ever before
Had his woman long as he can remember
Tries to forget, but he can't, he can't...
Out of bed and he dreams in the shower
She's standing naked and apologizing
Reaches for her `till his mind becomes blood hot
Woken up to be burned, burned, again...
Go it alone
You got it, so it goes
I wanna breathe and I said
I can't take it any other way
On the streets he's walkin', wounded
Doesn't smile for the child at play
Thoughts of suicide and alleviation
Anything to get his heart off of the coals
Does he fly away or just talk about it
Like a seagull born to cry in the wind
All experiences lead to a younger
Alone you will meet the one who lies in wait
Go it alone
You got it, so it goes
Try to breathe, but you can't
You can't take it any other way, yeah, yeah...
.Myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself, myself
I can help myself, don't talk to me (3x)
I can help myself, myself...
.Myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself
Wide awake and he shakes in a panic
Never woke up alone ever before
Had his woman long as he can remember
Tries to forget, but he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't...
ANGEL
Like an angel, fly over your house
Like an angel, pass out wishes
Like an angel, I will move the arrow
Like an angel, I live alone
I'm not livin' what was promised
I am close but can't enjoy
Oh, I'm not dyin'
Oh, I'm so tortured, 'cause I see all
Tortured, and all I cannot do
Tortured, all I should have done
Tortured, while I occupied a man
I'm not livin' what was promised
I am far from glorified
Oh, I'm not dyin'
Oh, I'm not alone
Mind is not a celestial state with idle helms of praise
Time is short, I have an appointment at noon, at noon in Hell
Across the waste of space and fields of air I glide, alone at night
Oh please, please think of me, 'cause I'm, I'm by your side
I'm by your side, I'm by your side, oh...
I'm...I'm right in front of you...I'm by your side...

Oh, if I knew where it was I would take you there
There's much more than this, ooh...much more than this

CRAZY MARY
She lived on the curve of the road, in an old, tar-paper shack
On the south side of the town, on the wrong side of the tracks
Sometimes on the way into town we'd say:
'Mama, can we stop and give her a ride?'
Sometimes we did, but her hands flew from her side
Wild eyed, crazy Mary
Down a long dirt road, past the Parson's place
That old blue car we used to race
Little country store with a sign tacked to the side
Said 'No L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G Allowed'
Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around (3x)
One night thunder cracked, mercy backed outside her windowsill
Dreamed I was flying high above the trees, over the hills
Looked down into the house of Mary
Terrible thoughts, newspaper-covered walls, and Mary rising above it all
Next morning on the way into town
Saw some skid marks and followed them around
Over the curve, through the fields, into the house of Mary
That what you fear the most, could meet you halfway (2x)
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around (3x)
DIRTY FRANK

LET ME SLEEP
The wind blows on the soles of my feet
Heaven knows nothing of me
I'm lost, nowhere to go
Oh, when I was a kid...oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep, it's Christmas time
Flowered winds was where I lived
I too burned not those for your sins
Oh, I'm so tired, and cold
Oh, when I was a kid...oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep, it's Christmas time
Oh...oh, when I was a kid...oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep, it's Christmas time
Oh...oh, when I, if I was a kid...oh, how magic it seemed

MASTERS OF WAR (Bob Dylan)
Come you masters of war, you that build all the guns
You that build the death place, you that build all the guns
You that hide behind walls, you that hide behind desks
I just want you to know, I can see through your masks
You that never done nothing, but to build and destroy
You play with my world, like its your little toy
You put a drug in my head, then you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run following the fast foolish lie
Like Judas of old, you lie and deceive
A world war can be won, you won't need to believe
But I see through your eyes, and I see through your brain
Like I see through the water that runs down my drain
You that fasten all the triggers, for the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch, while the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion, while young people's blood
Flows out their bodies and is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear, that could ever be hurled
The fear to bring children, into this world
For threatenin' my baby, unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood that runs in your veins
How much do I know, to talk out of turn?
You might say that I'm young, you might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know, though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question, is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness? Do you think that it could?
Oh, I think you will find, when your death takes its toll
All the money you made will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die, and your death will come soon
I'll follow your casket, in the pale afternoon
And I'll watch as your lowered, into your deathbed
And I'll stand on your grave till I'm sure that your dead
SONIC REDUCER (Dead Boys)
I don't need anyone, don't need no mom and dad
Don't need no good advice, don't need no human rights
I got some news for you, don't even need you too
I got my time machine, got my 'lectronic dream
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser...oh...
Got a sonic reducer, sonic reducer...
People out on the streets, they don't know who I am
I watch them from my room, they are just passing by
I'm not just anyone, said I'm not just anyone
I got my time machine, got my little 'lectronic dream
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser...oh...
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer...ahhh...
I'll be your bearer soon, love on some cotton doom
Things will be different then, the sun will rise from here
Then I'll be ten feet tall, then you'll be nothing at all
I got my time machine, got my 'lectronic dream
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser...oh...
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer...oh...
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer...yeah...
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer, sonic reducer...oh...
STATE OF LOVE AND TRUST
State of love and trust as I busted down the pretext
Since their plays and preachers went to heaven and to court, uh huh
And the signs are passin', grip the wheel, can't read it
Sacrifice receiving the smell that's on my hands...hands...yeah
And I listen for the voice inside my head
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Lay her down as priest does, should the Lord be a countin'
Will be in my honor, make it pain, painfully quick, uh huh
Promises are whispered in the age of darkness
Want to be enlightened like I want to be told the end, end, yeah...
And the barrel shakes, and, a-directly at my head
Oh, help me, help me from myself
And I listen, from both sides of a friend
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Uh huh, huh, oh...
Myself...myself...
Yeah, yeah...
Hey, na, na, na, na, hey, that's something (3x)
Wanna back, back it away, yeah, huh, uh
And I listen, oh, for the voice inside my head.
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Oh, ah, and the barrel waits, trigger shakes, aimed right at my head
Won't you help me, help me from myself
Hmm...State of love and trust, and a...
State of love and trust, and a... (2x)
State of love and...yeah...
WASH
Oh please, let it rain today
This city is so filthy, like my mind in ways
Oh, was a time, like a clean, new taste
Smiling eyes before me, inches from my face
Wash my love (2x)
Wash my love, yeah...
Sin the sale, buying just a need
Just who planted, all the devils seeds
And what the truth, and the truth that lies at home
It's on the inside, and I can't get it off, yeah...
Wash my love (2x)
Wash my love, yeah...
What's clean is pure, but hey, I'm white on the outside, though I stray
What she don't know today, might kill us both tomorrow, bring it back someway
Bring it back, bring it back, back to the clean form, to the pure form
Wash my love (8x)
Ooh...

I don't need to be forgiven
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Don't cry, don't brace your eye
It's only teenage wasteland...yeah...

They're all wasted }
BEAST OF BURDEN (Rolling Stones)

My back is broken, my feet are hurtin'
All I want is to drink, please fuckin' leave me alone
I'll never be your beast of learning
I'm a stupid fuck, I don't know nothin' at all
All I want is to drink, maybe with just one other person
Am I hard enough...am I tough enough...

All I want is for you to make love to me

You don't wanna be famous, you wanna be shy
Do your dances alone in your room
Becoming a star will become your doom
Bee Girl, be a girl... (2x)
You know time is long, and life is short, begin to live while you still can

Bee Girl, be a girl (2x)

BETTER MAN
Waiting, watching the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop
Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls over,
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man
Can't find a better man (2x)
Oh...talking, to herself, there's no one else who needs to know
She tells herself, oh...
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along
Swears she knew, now she swears he's gone
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man
She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man
Can't find a better man (2x)
She loves him...ow, she don't want to leave this way
She needs him...ow, that's why she'll be back again
Can't find a better man (3x)
Can't find a better...man...
CORDUROY
I'll take the servants back
You'll find me here in my homeless
I'll take your interest back
Oh, find a home inside my head
I don't wanna take what you can't give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
No matter how far we both have ran
Never would have known our need before
I'll take the servants back
Although I might refuse your jest
Push me and I will resist
This behavior's not unique
I don't wanna hear from those who know
They can buy, they can put on my clothes
No matter how far we need to walk
Never would have known our need before
I don't wanna be held in your death
To pare it off, that blood just leaves you wet
I'm already cut up and half dead
Where the devil ???????
Everything has changed
Absolutely nothing's changed
In my head, know my picture, steal my picture
I don't wanna take what you can't give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
All the things that others want for me
Can't buy what I want because it's free (2x)
Can't be what you want because I'm...
Supposed to be just fun
Never to be tried or be a judge
Take me as I am
I'm not the one that'll be there
DOCK OF THE BAY (Otis Redding)
Sittin' in the mornin' sun, I'll be sittin' till the evening's done
Watchin' the ships roll in, then I watch 'em roll away again
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time...
I left my home in Georgia, headed for the 'Frisco Bay
I've got nothin' to live for, looks like nothing's gonna come my way, yeah...
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin on the dock of the bay wastin' time...
Looks like nothing's ever gonna change, everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people want me to, so I guess I'll remain the same
Oh, sittin' on a roll in my bones, this loneliness won't leve me alone
Two thousand miles I've roamed, just to make this dock my home, yeah...

It's hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine...

IMMORTALITY
I could take the sun
I could call the clock forevermore
I won't tell the comfort in the world
I can't take it off
I won't say nothing's not my fault
I won't care there's something in the world
Take me as I am
I don't need this
I got just to live
Immortality
I could paint the moon
I could recollect light into a room
If I could make fortune of the glare
I could paint it all
I won't say nothing's not my fault
I won't call the altar in the air
Take me as is
I don't need this
I got just to live
Immortality
I can't take the role
I won't fight this war
I won't say it all
It is not my fault
Take me as is
I don't need this
I got just to live
I won't stay long
I'll be long gone
I got just to live
THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT (The Who)
I don't mind all the guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
And I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright...
The kids are alright...
Sometimes, I know I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright...
The kids are alright...
I know if I go things would be a lot better for her
I had this plan but her folks wouldn't let her
I don't mind, I feel i gotta get away
Bells chime, i know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't I'll go out of my fuckin' mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright...
The kids are alright... (3x)
LOVE YOU, HATE YOU
Doctor said I, I'd be alright
Everything that I believed it wasn't true
I found it out, when I got close to you
I thought you were different, like a dream
But things they ain't never what they seem
Thought I could judge you with my soul
But you can't do that anymore
The doctor said I'd be alright
But I still feel blue
The doctor said I'd be alright
But I still love you,
Love you, hate you...love you, want you...hate you...
I'm different
Me, myself, I'm different than all the rest
I can only speak for myself
People can trust me
NOT FOR YOU
Restless soul, enjoy your youth
Like Mohammed, it's the truth
I can't escape from, the common rule
If you hate somehing, don't you do it too...too...
Though on my table, seats just two
Got so crowded, I can't make room
Oh where did they come from, storm my room
And you dare say, it belongs to you...to you...
This is not for you (3x)
Never was for you...no...
But when they don't scream, my friend
Don't call, my friend, don't...
All that's sacred, comes from youth
Dedication, not even true
With no power, nothing to do
I still remember, why don't you...don't you...
This is not for you (3x) } (2x)
Never was for you...no... }
PATRIOT (Steve Van Zandt)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous (2x)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday
I went walking, with my brother
And he wondered, oh, how I am
Said what I believe with my soul
Ain't what I see with my eyes
And there's no turning back this time
I am a patriot, and I love my country
Because my country is all I know
I wanna be with my family
People who understand me
I got no place else to go...I am a patriot...
I went walking, with my girlfriend
She looked so fine, I said baby what's on your mind
She said I wanna run like the lions
Released from their cages
Released from the rages burning in my soul tonight...I am a patriot...
And I ain't no communist, and I ain't no socialist
And I ain't no capitalist, and I ain't no imperialist
And I ain't no democrat, I sure ain't no republican either
I only know one party, and that is freedom, I am, I am, I am
I am a patriot, and I love my country
Because my country is all I know
And the rivers shall open for the righteous (2x)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday
Someday, someday, someday...
ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD (Neil Young)
There are colors on the street, red, white, and blue
People shufflin' their feet, people sleepin' in their shoes
There's a warnin' sign in the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forgive em, any way I can, yeah...
I see a girl in the night with a baby in her hands
Under an old street light, oh, near a garbage an
Now she put her kid away, she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life, and what she's done with it
That's one more kid, that'll never go to school blue
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool their shoes
Keep on rockin' in the free world (3x)ad
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
( The US of A, the United States )
( Ain't a free place, it's not a free place )
( Ain't got the right to choose, there they got the right to vote )
( There they got the right to make an honest buck )
( The USA ain't a free, free place )
There's a thousand points of light for the colored man
There's a kinder, gentler police man's hand
There's department stores, and toilet paper
Styrofoam garbage for the Ozone layer
There's a man of the people, said 'keep hope alive'
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive
Keep on rockin' in the free world (4x)
SATAN'S BED
He's not a visit, visiting one
I never slept in Satan's bed
Although he must if he still visits my place
Anybody that you know, he don't wait
Funny how he always seems to plan
Funny how I always want to give in
Tuesdays, Thursday, Sundays, Friday's the same
Sometimes a special guest he don't like to meet
Already...in love... (2x)
Who made, who made up, made up the myth
That we were born to be covered in bliss?
Who set the standard, born to be rich?
Sets fine example, she named him a bitch
Model, role model, roll some models in blood
Get some fleshy skin, so they look like us
I shit and I stink, I'm real, join the club
I stop in darker, i'm already in love
Already...in love... (3x)
Already...oh...oh...
Never shook Satan's hand, look see for yourself
You'd know it if I had, that shit don't come off
I rise and fall, let me take credit for both
Jump off a cliff, don't need your help so back off
I'll never suck, Satan's dick
And then you see it, you know, right from the lips
I'd wait for an angel, but I won't hold my breath
Imagine that, does he think I'm doing O.K.?
Already...in love... (4x)
Already...already...already he's in love...
Oh...oh...
SAYING NO
He says to her he wants it easy
He expects her, to be easy
He wants it, to be, easy
But she says no, but she says no, I don't want to
She says no, she says no, I don't want to
He expects it too, easy...
But she says stop, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop
When she says stop, you gotta stop } (3x)
When he says go, you still gotta stop }
He wants it, he wants it
So badly he wants, he wants it
But she says no, she says no
She says, 'go to hell if that's all you want me for', she says no...
When she says no, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop
When she says no, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop, yeah...
She did nothing to deserve it
He just wants, he wants to observe it
We sit back, like they taught us
Keep quiet like they taught us
He does nothin' to remove it
He's just as hurt `cause he wants to prove it
We sit back, like they taught us
Keep quiet, just like they taught us
He just wants, he wants to prove it
He's just hurt, she don't remove it
We sit back, like they taught us
Like they taught us, like they taught us...
SUGGESTION (Fugazi)
Why can't I walk down the street free of suggestion? (2x)
She does nothing to deserve it
He only wants, he wants to observe it
We sit back like they taught us
Keep quiet like they taught us
He just wants, he wants to prove it
She does nothing to remove it
We don't want anyone to mind us
Play the role that they've assigned us
She does nothing to conceal it
He touches her 'cause he wants to feel it
We blame her for being there
THE WHIPPING
Don't need a helmet, got a hard, hard head
Don't need a raincoat, I'm already wet
Don't need a bandage, I've asked too much
Thought after a while, she says, you're what I want
Don't need a hand, there's always arms of theirs
Oh, don't hate me, I'm not meant for that
Why must we trust, all these rusty rails
They don't want no change, we already have
The whipping (4x)
Don't mean to push, but I'm being shoved
Oh, I'm just like you, make me happy, no
I can't believe it, men, they want us to...oh...
Oh, we all got scars, they should have 'em too...
Oh, the whipping
The whipping (6x)
Oh, the whipping

ONCE
I admit it...what's to say
I'll relive it...without pain
Backstreet lover on the side of the road
I got a bomb in my temple that is gonna explode
I got a sixteen gauge buried under my clothes...I play...
Once upon a time I could control myself
Oooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah
Oh, try and mimic...what's insane
I am in it...where do I stand?
Indian summer and I hate the heat
I got a backstreet lover on the passenger seat
I got my hand in my pocket, so determined, discreet...I pray...
Once upon a time I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah
You think I got my eyes closed
But I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time
Ooh, once upon a time I could control myself, yeah
Once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah
Once, upon a time I could love myself, yeah
Once upon a time I could love you, yeah
Once (5x)
Once, yeah, yeah
Yeah
EVEN FLOW
Freezin', rests his head on a pillow made of concrete, again
Oh, Feelin' maybe he'll see a little better, set a days, ooh yeah
Oh, hand out, faces that he sees time again ain't that familiar, oh yeah
Oh, dark grin, he can't help, when he's happy looks insane, oh yeah
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again
Life again, life again...
Kneelin', looking through the paper though he doesn't know to read, ooh yeah
Oh, prayin', now to something that has never showed him anything
Oh, feelin', understands the weather of the winters on its way
Oh, ceilings, few and far between all the legal halls of shame, yeah
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again
Whispering hands, gently lead him away
Him away, him away...
Yeah!
Woo...Ah yeah...Fuck it up...
Even flow, thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin his life again, yeah
Oh, whispering hands, gently lead him away
Him away, him away...
Yeah!
Woo...Uh huh...Yeah, yeah, mommy, mommy...
ALIVE
Son, she said, have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothin' but a...
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin', sorry you didn't see him, but I'm glad we talked...
Oh I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey...oh...
Oh, she walks slowly, across a young man's room
She said I'm ready...for you
I can't remember anything to this very day
'Cept the look, the look...
Oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare...
I, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Hey I, boy, I'm still alive
Hey I, I, I, I'm still alive, yeah
Ooh yeah...yeah yeah yeah...oh...oh...
Is something wrong, she said
Well of course there is
You're still alive, she said
Oh, and do I deserve to be
Is that the question
And if so...if so...who answers...who answers...
I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey I, but, I'm still alive
Yeah I, ooh, I'm still alive
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
WHY GO
She scratches a letter into a wall made of stone
Maybe someday another child won't feel as alone as she does
It's been two years, and counting, since they put her in this place
She's been diagnosed by some stupid fuck, and mommy agrees, yeah...
Why go home... (3x)
She seems to be stronger, but what they want her to be is weak
She could play pretend, she could join the game, boy
She could be another clone...
Why go home? (4x)
What you taught me...put me here...don't come visit...mother...
Why go home? (4x)
What you taught me...put me here...don't come visit...mother, mother, yeah...
Why go home? (7x)
BLACK
Hey...oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did
All five horizons revolved around her soul
As the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was, everything
Ooh, I know she gave me all, that she was
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds
Of what was everything?
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
I take a walk outside
I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear
Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head
I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning
How quick the sun can, drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass
Of what was everything?
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll ever be...yeah...
Uh huh...uh huh...ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star
In somebody else's sky, but why
Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine
JEREMY
At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops, with him on top
Lemon yellow sun, arms raised in a V
The dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn't give attention
To the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked, oh, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today (2x)
Clearly I remember pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
But we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast
How could I forget?
And he hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurtin', ooh, dropped wide open
Just like the day, oh, like the day I heard
Daddy didn't give affection
And the boy was something mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today (3x)
Woo (14x)
Try to forget this...try to forget this...
Try to erase this...try to erase this...
Jeremy spoke in class today (2x)
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in (2x)
Jeremy spoke in class today
Woo (29x)
Woooooohhh...Spoke in, spoke in
Woooooohhh...uh huh, uh huh...
OCEANS
Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
Glide me towards...
You know something's left
And we're all allowed
To dream of the next
Oh, ohh the next, time we touch...
Oooh (4x)
You don't have to stray
Tho oceans away
Waves roll in my thoughts
Hold tight the ring...
The sea will rise...
Please stand by the shore...
Oh, oh, oh, I will be...
I will be there once more...
Oooh (4x)
Uh huh, oh yeah (2x)
PORCH
What the fuck is this world
Running to, you didn't
Leave a message, at least I
Coulda' learned your voice one last time
Daily minefield, this could
Be my time, 'bout you?
Would you hit me? (2x)
Oh...oh...wow...
All the bills go by, and
Initiatives are taken up
By the middle, there ain't gonna be any middle any more
And the cross I'm bearing home
Ain't indicative of my place
Left the porch (2x)
Oh...
Hear my name, take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand, walk beside me
I just need to say...
Hear my name, take a good look
This could be the day
Hold my hand, lie beside me
I just need to say
I could not take a just one day
I know that I would not ever touch you
Hold you...feel you...ever hold...never again...
Yeah (12x)
GARDEN
The direction of the eye, so misleading
The defection of the soul, nauseously quick
I don't question, our existence
I just question, our modern needs
I will walk...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden of stone
After all is done, and we're still alone
I won't be taken, yet I'll go...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden of stone
I don't show...I don't share...
I don't need, yeah...What you have to give...
Oooh, I will walk...with my hands bound
I will walk...with my face blood
I will walk...with my shadow flag
Into your garden, garden...oh...
I will walk with my hands bound
I will walk into your garden, garden of stone...
I don't know...I don't care
I don't need, yeah...Need to live
Uh huh huh...
DEEP
On the edge, windowsill
Ponders his maker, ponders his will
To the street below, he just ain't nothin'
But he's got a great view, and he sinks the needle deep, yeah
Oh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah...oh, can't touch the bottom
Oh, on the edge of a know-nothin' town
Feelin' quite superior, the aged come
To the sky above he just ain't nothin'
But he's got a great view, and he sinks a burning knife deep, yeah...
Ooh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah...uh huh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep...
Ohhh...Ohhh...
On the edge of a Christmas clean love
Young virgin from heaven...visiting Hell
To the man above her, she just ain't nothin'
And she doesn't like the view
She doesn't like the view (2x)
But he sinks himself deep
Oh, can't touch the bottom
In too deep, yeah...oh, can't touch the bottom
Can't touch the bottom
Deep, yeah
Oh, the bottom (6x)
RELEASE
I see the world, feel the chill
Which way to go, windowsill
I see the world's on a rocking horse of time
I see the birds in the rain
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...
Oh, dear dad, can you see me now
I am myself, like you somehow
I'll ride the wave where it takes me
I'll hold the pain...Release me...
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...
Oh, dear dad, can you see me now
I am myself, like you somehow
I'll wait up in the dark for you to speak to me
I'll open up...Release me...
Release me (3x)
Ohh...ohh...ohh...ohh...
GO
Oh please don't go out on me, don't go out on me now
Never acted up before, don't go on me now
I swear I never too it for granted, just thought of it now
Suppose I abused you, just passing it on
Go...fuck...
Once fastened, servile, now your getting sharp
Moving oh so swiftly, with such disarm
I pulled the covers over him, shoulda' pulled the alarm
Turned to my nemesis, a full on fucking god
No...time...suck...my...Please...
Don't go on me (4x)
Please...oh...
Suck...blood...touch...please, tunnel vision...tuck...time...see...
Please, please, please...
Don't go on me (4x)
Please...Don't you want me...don't go on me...
Please...don't go on me..

Five, five, against one

Five, five...five, five...five against one
Torch her from you to me
Abducted from the street

Why would you wanna hurt me, oh
So frightened of your pain

DAUGHTER
Alone...listless...breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl...violins...center of her own attention
The, mother reads aloud, child, tries to understand it
Tries to make her proud
The shades go down, it's in her head
Painted room...can't deny there's something wrong...
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to
The picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...
She holds the hand that holds her down
She will...rise above...ooh...oh...

The shades go, go, go...
GLORIFIED G
Got a gun, fact I got two
That's O.K. man, cuz I love god
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Feels so manly, when armed
Glorified version of a pellet gun (4x)
Don't think, dumb is strength
Never shot at a living thing
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Feels so manly, when armed
Glorified version of a pellet gun (3x)
Glorified version of a...

Ooh...life comes...I can feel your heart through your neck...
Life comes...I can feel your heart through your neck...
Life comes...I can steal your heart form your neck...
Glorified...glorified...
DISSIDENT
She nursed him there, ooh, over a night
I wasn't so sure she wanted him to stay
What to say...what to say
But soon she was down, soon he was low
At a quarter past...a holy no...
She had to turn around
When she couldn't hold, oh...she folded...
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here
And to this day, she's glided on
Always home but so far away
Like a word misplaced
Nothing said, what a waste
When she had contact...with the conflict...
There was meaning, but she sold him to the state
She had to turn around
When she couldn't hold...she folded...
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh......oh...oh...
She gave him away when she couldn't hold...no...she folded...
A dissident is here
Escape is never, the safest path
Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh...
Couldn't hold on...she couldn't hold...no...she folded...
A dissident is here
Escape is never the safest place, oh...
A dissident is here
W.M.A.
He won the lottery when he was born
Took his mothers white breast to his tongue
Trained like dogs, color and smell
Walks by me to get to Hell
Police man (2x)
He won the lottery by being born
Big hand slapped a white male 'merican
Do no wrong, so clean cut
Dirty his hands, it comes right off
Police man (2x)
Police stopped my brother again (3x)
Police man (2x)
Jesus greets me...looks just like me...
Do no wrong, so clean cut
Dirty his hands, it comes right off
Police man (3x)
Police stopped my brother again (3x)
Police man (2x)
Police stopped my brother again (3x)
Police man (3X)
All my pieces set me free...human devices set me free...
BLOOD
Spin me round, roll me over, fuckin' circus
Stab it down, one way needle, pulled so slowly
Drains and spills, soaks the pages, fills their sponges
It's my blood (2x)
Paint Ed big...Turn Ed into...One of his enemies...
It's my blood (3x)
Stab it down, fill the pages, suck my life out
Victor of my enemies...
Take...my...
My...my...my...my...my...my...
REARVIEWMIRROR
I took a drive today
Time to emancipate
I guess it was the beatings made me wise
But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize
I couldn't breathe, holdin' me down
Hand on my face, kissin' the ground
Enmity gauged, united by fear
'Posed to endure what I could not forgive...
I seem to look away
Wounds in the mirror waved
It wasn't my surface most defiled
Head at your feet, fool to your crown
Fist on my plate, swallowed it down
Enmity gauged, united by fear
Tried to endure what I could not forgive
Saw things (4x)
Clearer (2x)
Once you, were in my...Rearview mirror...
I gather speed from you fucking with me
Once and for all I'm far away
I hardly believe, finally the shades...are raised...hey...
Saw things so much clearer }
Once you, once you... } (3x)
Rearview mirror }
Saw things so much clearer
Once you...oh yeah...
RATS
They don't eat, don't sleep
They don't feed, they don't seethe
Bare their gums when they moan and squeak
Lick the dirt off a larger one's feet
They don't push, don't crowd
Congregate until they're much too loud
Fuck to procreate till they are dead
Drink the blood of their so called best friend
They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
Don't pack themselves together and run as one
Don't shit where they're not supposed to
Don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare
They don't scam, don't fight
Don't oppress an equals given rights
Starve the poor so they can be well fed
Line their holes with the dead ones bread
They don't scurry when something bigger comes their way }
Don't pack themselves together and run as one } (2x)
Don't shit where they're not supposed to }
Don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare... }
Rats...They don't compare (2x)
Ben, the two of us need look no more (5X)
ELDERLY WOMAN BEHIND THE COUNTER IN A SMALL TOWN
I seem to recognize your face
Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catching up with me
All these changes taking place, I wish I'd seen the place
But no one's ever taken me
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (2x)
I swear I recognize your breath
Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
Me, you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former
It's hard when, your stuck upon the shelf
I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see
I just want to scream...hello...
My god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return
But now here you are, and here I am
Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (2x)
Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away... (3x)
Hearts and thoughts they fade...
LEASH
Troubled souls unite, we got ourselves tonight, oh...
I am fuel, you are friends, we got the means to make amends
I am lost, I'm no guide, but I'm by your side
I am right by your side, yeah...
Young lover I stand
It was their idea, I proved to be a man
Take my fucking hand
It was their idea, I proved to be a man
Will myself to find a home, a home within myself
We will find a way, we will find our place
Drop the leash, drop the leash... } (3x)
Get outta' my fuckin' face }
Drop the leash, we are young (2x)
Oh, get outta' my fuckin' face...
Drop the leash, drop the leash...
Get outta' my, my...
Delight, delight, delight in our youth...oww...
Get outta' my fuckin' face...
INDIFFERENCE
I will light the match this mornin', so I won't be alone
Watch as she lies silent, for soon light will be gone
Oh, I will stand arms outstretched, pretend I'm free to roam
Oh, I will make my way, through, one more day...alone...
How much difference does it make
How much difference does it make, yeah...
I will hold the candle till it burns up my arm
Oh, I'll keep takin' punches until their will grows tired
Oh, I will stare the sun down until my eyes go blind
Hey, I won't change direction, and I won't change my mind
How much difference does it make
Mmm, how much difference does it make..how much difference...
I'll swallow poison, until I grow immune
I will scream my lungs out till it fills this room
How much difference (2x)
How much difference does it make (2x)
SPIN THE BLACK CIRCLE
See this needle...see my hand...
Drop, drop, dropping it down...oh, so gently...
I'm hearing claws...I touch the flames...
Turn me up...what a new way...
Spin, spin, spin the black circle
Spin, spin, spin the black, spin the black
Spin, spin, spin the black circle
Spin, spin...
Pull it out...open the sleeve...
Oh, my joy...only you can take those seats...
I'm so big...in my own world...
Where are you...where are you...
Spin, spin, spin the black circle
Spin, spin, spin the black, spin the black
Spin, spin, spin the black circle
Spin, spin...
You're so warm...
Oh, you're all warm...
My lady, you're cookin'...
Spin, spin, spin the black circle
Spin, spin, spin the black, spin the black
Spin, spin, spin the black circle
Spin, spin...
TREMOR CHRIST
Winded is the sailor...drifting by the storm...
Wounded is the open knee left, oh...bloodied on the shore...
Claudius was your savior Ceaser...drowning in his wake...
I barely taste the salt of her tears born...I can't blame fate...
Little secrets tremors...turn to quake...
The smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...
Have some faith the Devils...he wispers crazy words...
Triumphant target angels...if they can get there first...
Little secrets tremors...turn to quake...
The smallest oceans still get...big, big waves...
I'll decide...
Take my time...
Take my time...
Not my life...
Wait for signs...
Believe in lies...
To get by...
This is mine...
Oh, you know what it's like...
Turns the bow back towards him...
Drops the line...
Put his faith and love in Tremor Christ...
ALONE
Wide awake and he shakes in a panic
Never woke up alone ever before
Had his woman long as he can remember
Tries to forget, but he can't, he can't...
Out of bed and he dreams in the shower
She's standing naked and apologizing
Reaches for her `till his mind becomes blood hot
Woken up to be burned, burned, again...
Go it alone
You got it, so it goes
I wanna breathe and I said
I can't take it any other way
On the streets he's walkin', wounded
Doesn't smile for the child at play
Thoughts of suicide and alleviation
Anything to get his heart off of the coals
Does he fly away or just talk about it
Like a seagull born to cry in the wind
All experiences lead to a younger
Alone you will meet the one who lies in wait
Go it alone
You got it, so it goes
Try to breathe, but you can't
You can't take it any other way, yeah, yeah...
.Myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself, myself
I can help myself, don't talk to me (3x)
I can help myself, myself...
.Myself, don't talk to me
I can help myself
Wide awake and he shakes in a panic
Never woke up alone ever before
Had his woman long as he can remember
Tries to forget, but he can't, he can't, he can't, he can't...
ANGEL
Like an angel, fly over your house
Like an angel, pass out wishes
Like an angel, I will move the arrow
Like an angel, I live alone
I'm not livin' what was promised
I am close but can't enjoy
Oh, I'm not dyin'
Oh, I'm so tortured, 'cause I see all
Tortured, and all I cannot do
Tortured, all I should have done
Tortured, while I occupied a man
I'm not livin' what was promised
I am far from glorified
Oh, I'm not dyin'
Oh, I'm not alone
Mind is not a celestial state with idle helms of praise
Time is short, I have an appointment at noon, at noon in Hell
Across the waste of space and fields of air I glide, alone at night
Oh please, please think of me, 'cause I'm, I'm by your side
I'm by your side, I'm by your side, oh...
I'm...I'm right in front of you...I'm by your side...

Where it goes...where it comes...can't see through the faith
Ooh, come...here it comes...there it goes, grasp what you can
Don't you know there's something inside your hand, yeah...
Oh, if I knew where it was I would take you there
There's much more than this, ooh...much more than this
Oh, see the world...much more than, oh...much more than
CRAZY MARY
She lived on the curve of the road, in an old, tar-paper shack
On the south side of the town, on the wrong side of the tracks
Sometimes on the way into town we'd say:
'Mama, can we stop and give her a ride?'
Sometimes we did, but her hands flew from her side
Wild eyed, crazy Mary
Down a long dirt road, past the Parson's place
That old blue car we used to race
Little country store with a sign tacked to the side
Said 'No L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G Allowed'
Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around (3x)
One night thunder cracked, mercy backed outside her windowsill
Dreamed I was flying high above the trees, over the hills
Looked down into the house of Mary
Terrible thoughts, newspaper-covered walls, and Mary rising above it all
Next morning on the way into town
Saw some skid marks and followed them around
Over the curve, through the fields, into the house of Mary
That what you fear the most, could meet you halfway (2x)
Take a bottle, drink it down, pass it around (3x)

LET ME SLEEP
The wind blows on the soles of my feet
Heaven knows nothing of me
I'm lost, nowhere to go
Oh, when I was a kid...oh, how magic it seemed
Oh, please let me sleep, it's Christmas time
Flowered winds was where I lived

MASTERS OF WAR (Bob Dylan)
Come you masters of war, you that build all the guns
You that build the death place, you that build all the guns
You that hide behind walls, you that hide behind desks
I just want you to know, I can see through your masks
You that never done nothing, but to build and destroy
You play with my world, like its your little toy
You put a drug in my head, then you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run following the fast foolish lie
Like Judas of old, you lie and deceive
A world war can be won, you won't need to believe
But I see through your eyes, and I see through your brain
Like I see through the water that runs down my drain
You that fasten all the triggers, for the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch, while the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion, while young people's blood
Flows out their bodies and is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear, that could ever be hurled
The fear to bring children, into this world
For threatenin' my baby, unborn and unnamed
You ain't worth the blood that runs in your veins
How much do I know, to talk out of turn?
You might say that I'm young, you might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know, though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question, is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness? Do you think that it could?
Oh, I think you will find, when your death takes its toll
All the money you made will never buy back your soul
And I hope that you die, and your death will come soon
I'll follow your casket, in the pale afternoon
And I'll watch as your lowered, into your deathbed
And I'll stand on your grave till I'm sure that your dead
SONIC REDUCER (Dead Boys)
I don't need anyone, don't need no mom and dad
Don't need no good advice, don't need no human rights
I got some news for you, don't even need you too
I got my time machine, got my 'lectronic dream
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser...oh...
Got a sonic reducer, sonic reducer...
People out on the streets, they don't know who I am
I watch them from my room, they are just passing by
I'm not just anyone, said I'm not just anyone
I got my time machine, got my little 'lectronic dream
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser...oh...
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer...ahhh...
I'll be your bearer soon, love on some cotton doom
Things will be different then, the sun will rise from here
Then I'll be ten feet tall, then you'll be nothing at all
I got my time machine, got my 'lectronic dream
Sonic reducer, ain't no loser...oh...
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer...oh...
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer...yeah...
Sonic reducer, sonic reducer, sonic reducer...oh...
STATE OF LOVE AND TRUST
State of love and trust as I busted down the pretext
Since their plays and preachers went to heaven and to court, uh huh
And the signs are passin', grip the wheel, can't read it
Sacrifice receiving the smell that's on my hands...hands...yeah
And I listen for the voice inside my head
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Lay her down as priest does, should the Lord be a countin'
Will be in my honor, make it pain, painfully quick, uh huh
Promises are whispered in the age of darkness
Want to be enlightened like I want to be told the end, end, yeah...
And the barrel shakes, and, a-directly at my head
Oh, help me, help me from myself
And I listen, from both sides of a friend
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Uh huh, huh, oh...
Myself...myself...
Yeah, yeah...
Hey, na, na, na, na, hey, that's something (3x)
Wanna back, back it away, yeah, huh, uh
And I listen, oh, for the voice inside my head.
Nothin', I'll do this one myself
Oh, ah, and the barrel waits, trigger shakes, aimed right at my head
Won't you help me, help me from myself
Hmm...State of love and trust, and a...
State of love and trust, and a... (2x)
State of love and...yeah...

This city is so filthy, like my mind in ways
Oh, was a time, like a clean, new taste
Smiling eyes before me, inches from my face
Wash my love (2x)
Wash my love, yeah...
Sin the sale, buying just a need
Just who planted, all the devils seeds
And what the truth, and the truth that lies at home
It's on the inside, and I can't get it off, yeah...
Wash my love (2x)
Wash my love, yeah...
What's clean is pure, but hey, I'm white on the outside, though I stray

Bring it back, bring it back, back to the clean form, to the pure form
Wash my love (8x)

Becoming a star will become your doom
Bee Girl, be a girl... (2x)
You know time is long, and life is short, begin to live while you still can

BETTER MAN
Waiting, watching the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop
Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
As he opens the door, she rolls over,
Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man
Can't find a better man (2x)
Oh...talking, to herself, there's no one else who needs to know
She tells herself, oh...
Memories back when she was bold and strong
And waiting for the world to come along
Swears she knew, now she swears he's gone
She lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man
She lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man
She dreams in color, she dreams in red, can't find a better man
Can't find a better man (2x)
She loves him...ow, she don't want to leave this way
She needs him...ow, that's why she'll be back again
Can't find a better man (3x)
Can't find a better...man...
CORDUROY
I'll take the servants back
You'll find me here in my homeless
I'll take your interest back
Oh, find a home inside my head
I don't wanna take what you can't give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
No matter how far we both have ran
Never would have known our need before
I'll take the servants back
Although I might refuse your jest
Push me and I will resist
This behavior's not unique
I don't wanna hear from those who know
They can buy, they can put on my clothes
No matter how far we need to walk
Never would have known our need before
I don't wanna be held in your death
To pare it off, that blood just leaves you wet
I'm already cut up and half dead
Where the devil ???????
Everything has changed
Absolutely nothing's changed
In my head, know my picture, steal my picture
I don't wanna take what you can't give
I would rather starve than eat your bread
All the things that others want for me
Can't buy what I want because it's free (2x)
Can't be what you want because I'm...
Supposed to be just fun
Never to be tried or be a judge
Take me as I am
I'm not the one that'll be there
DOCK OF THE BAY (Otis Redding)
Sittin' in the mornin' sun, I'll be sittin' till the evening's done
Watchin' the ships roll in, then I watch 'em roll away again
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time...

I've got nothin' to live for, looks like nothing's gonna come my way, yeah...
Sittin' on the dock of the bay, watchin' the tide roll away
Sittin on the dock of the bay wastin' time...
Looks like nothing's ever gonna change, everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people want me to, so I guess I'll remain the same
Oh, sittin' on a roll in my bones, this loneliness won't leve me alone
Two thousand miles I've roamed, just to make this dock my home, yeah...

I could take the sun
I could call the clock forevermore
I won't tell the comfort in the world

I won't care there's something in the world
Take me as I am
I don't need this
I got just to live
Immortality
I could paint the moon
I could recollect light into a room
If I could make fortune of the glare
I could paint it all
I won't say nothing's not my fault
I won't call the altar in the air
Take me as is
I don't need this
I got just to live
Immortality
I can't take the role
I won't fight this war
I won't say it all
It is not my fault
Take me as is
I don't need this
I got just to live
I won't stay long
I'll be long gone
I got just to live
THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT (The Who)
I don't mind all the guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
And I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright...
The kids are alright...
Sometimes, I know I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright...
The kids are alright...
I know if I go things would be a lot better for her
I had this plan but her folks wouldn't let her
I don't mind, I feel i gotta get away
Bells chime, i know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't I'll go out of my fuckin' mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright...
The kids are alright... (3x)
LOVE YOU, HATE YOU
Doctor said I, I'd be alright
Everything that I believed it wasn't true
I found it out, when I got close to you
I thought you were different, like a dream
But things they ain't never what they seem
Thought I could judge you with my soul
But you can't do that anymore
The doctor said I'd be alright
But I still feel blue
The doctor said I'd be alright
But I still love you,
Love you, hate you...love you, want you...hate you...
I'm different
Me, myself, I'm different than all the rest
I can only speak for myself
People can trust me
NOT FOR YOU
Restless soul, enjoy your youth
Like Mohammed, it's the truth
I can't escape from, the common rule
If you hate somehing, don't you do it too...too...
Though on my table, seats just two
Got so crowded, I can't make room
Oh where did they come from, storm my room
And you dare say, it belongs to you...to you...
This is not for you (3x)
Never was for you...no...
But when they don't scream, my friend
Don't call, my friend, don't...
All that's sacred, comes from youth
Dedication, not even true
With no power, nothing to do
I still remember, why don't you...don't you...
This is not for you (3x) } (2x)
Never was for you...no... }
PATRIOT (Steve Van Zandt)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous (2x)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday
I went walking, with my brother
And he wondered, oh, how I am
Said what I believe with my soul
Ain't what I see with my eyes
And there's no turning back this time
I am a patriot, and I love my country
Because my country is all I know
I wanna be with my family
People who understand me
I got no place else to go...I am a patriot...
I went walking, with my girlfriend
She looked so fine, I said baby what's on your mind
She said I wanna run like the lions
Released from their cages
Released from the rages burning in my soul tonight...I am a patriot...
And I ain't no communist, and I ain't no socialist
And I ain't no capitalist, and I ain't no imperialist
And I ain't no democrat, I sure ain't no republican either
I only know one party, and that is freedom, I am, I am, I am
I am a patriot, and I love my country
Because my country is all I know
And the rivers shall open for the righteous (2x)
And the rivers shall open for the righteous, someday
Someday, someday, someday...
ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD (Neil Young)
There are colors on the street, red, white, and blue
People shufflin' their feet, people sleepin' in their shoes
There's a warnin' sign in the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead

Keep on rockin' in the free world (3x)ad
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
( The US of A, the United States )
( Ain't a free place, it's not a free place )
( Ain't got the right to choose, there they got the right to vote )
( There they got the right to make an honest buck )
( The USA ain't a free, free place )
There's a thousand points of light for the colored man
There's a kinder, gentler police man's hand
There's department stores, and toilet paper
Styrofoam garbage for the Ozone layer
There's a man of the people, said 'keep hope alive'
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive
Keep on rockin' in the free world (4x)
SATAN'S BED
He's not a visit, visiting one
I never slept in Satan's bed
Although he must if he still visits my place
Anybody that you know, he don't wait
Funny how he always seems to plan
Funny how I always want to give in
Tuesdays, Thursday, Sundays, Friday's the same
Sometimes a special guest he don't like to meet
Already...in love... (2x)
Who made, who made up, made up the myth
That we were born to be covered in bliss?
Who set the standard, born to be rich?
Sets fine example, she named him a bitch
Model, role model, roll some models in blood
Get some fleshy skin, so they look like us
I shit and I stink, I'm real, join the club
I stop in darker, i'm already in love
Already...in love... (3x)
Already...oh...oh...
Never shook Satan's hand, look see for yourself
You'd know it if I had, that shit don't come off
I rise and fall, let me take credit for both
Jump off a cliff, don't need your help so back off
I'll never suck, Satan's dick
And then you see it, you know, right from the lips
I'd wait for an angel, but I won't hold my breath
Imagine that, does he think I'm doing O.K.?
Already...in love... (4x)
Already...already...already he's in love...
Oh...oh...
SAYING NO
He says to her he wants it easy
He expects her, to be easy
He wants it, to be, easy
But she says no, but she says no, I don't want to
She says no, she says no, I don't want to
He expects it too, easy...
But she says stop, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop
When she says stop, you gotta stop } (3x)
When he says go, you still gotta stop }
He wants it, he wants it
So badly he wants, he wants it
But she says no, she says no
She says, 'go to hell if that's all you want me for', she says no...
When she says no, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop
When she says no, you gotta stop
When he says go, you still gotta stop, yeah...
She did nothing to deserve it
He just wants, he wants to observe it
We sit back, like they taught us
Keep quiet like they taught us
He does nothin' to remove it
He's just as hurt `cause he wants to prove it
We sit back, like they taught us
Keep quiet, just like they taught us
He just wants, he wants to prove it
He's just hurt, she don't remove it
We sit back, like they taught us
Like they taught us, like they taught us...
SUGGESTION (Fugazi)
Why can't I walk down the street free of suggestion? (2x)
She does nothing to deserve it
He only wants, he wants to observe it
We sit back like they taught us
Keep quiet like they taught us
He just wants, he wants to prove it
She does nothing to remove it
We don't want anyone to mind us
Play the role that they've assigned us
She does nothing to conceal it
He touches her 'cause he wants to feel it
We blame her for being there
THE WHIPPING
Don't need a helmet, got a hard, hard head
Don't need a raincoat, I'm already wet
Don't need a bandage, I've asked too much
Thought after a while, she says, you're what I want
Don't need a hand, there's always arms of theirs
Oh, don't hate me, I'm not meant for that
Why must we trust, all these rusty rails
They don't want no change, we already have
The whipping (4x)
Don't mean to push, but I'm being shoved
Oh, I'm just like you, make me happy, no
I can't believe it, men, they want us to...oh...
Oh, we all got scars, they should have 'em too...
Oh, the whipping
The whipping (6x)
Oh, the whipping
