Retired At 21

admin — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 22:22:51 +0000

Had money in my pocket
But he had a gun
How was i to know
That i was a lucky one?
You got me through this time
But my time will come
When things get wild
I’ll get out from underneath the gun

You’re retired at 21
Your mind is gone
Your race is run
You’re retired at 21
You side with the law
And the man with the gun

Lookin’ for a thrill
But it just ain’t that easy
’cause when you move in for the kill
Got to get sleazy
The bait’ll come off the wild(?)
Before we crawl all over you
We’ve both got power
And at(?) you’ll don’t know what i’ll do

Money money money
‘ll buy you food into my brain
But your heart can’t even breathe
’cause your soul’s already claimed
Collecting a scrapbook
Proud of what you’ve done
No more pushing
Retired at 21

You’re retired at 21
Your mind is gone
Your race is run
You’re retired at 21
You side with the law
And the man with the gun

Crapshoot crapshoot
Don’t know what you’ll find there
Don’t want no one
To catch you in a dare
Your life story is complete
The clock has got you beat
You look at life
Then you turn and retreat

You’re retired at 21
Your mind is gone
Your race is run
You’re retired at 21
You side with the law
And the man with the gun

No Deposit – No Return

admin — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 07:07:41 +0000

its 3:29 AM
I look out my window at the hot crowded street above
I notice i feel cold and alone
used up like an old bottle
no deposit, no return
people live and die in these apartment compartments
no deposit, no return
dust falls silently
why cant i?
no deposit, no return

Damaged Ii

admin — Fri, 01 May 2009 06:06:18 +0000

Damaged by you
Damaged by me
I’m confused
Confused,
Don’t wanna be confused
Stupid attempts
No conclusions
I’m confused
Confused,
Don’t wanna be confused

Put the gun to my head
And i don’t pull
I’m confused
Confused,
My emotions are bruised

I no longer feel a thing
I no longer want to see
But you can’t make me long
For your life and security
Problems stick,
My live drips feelings cut

Stupid feelings
Stupid illusions
I’m confused
Confused,
Don’t wanna be confused
Scars for me to wear
I’m confused
Confused,
Don’t wanna be confused

Things don’t fit
Do i care
I’m confused
Confused,
Don’t wanna be confused

I no longer feel a thing
I no longer want to see
But you can’t make me long
For your life and security
Problems stick,
My live drips feelings cut

Annihilate This Week

admin — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 22:22:07 +0000

You annihilated this week
Now it’s Sunday and you weep
A future of fun
Or a guilt loaded run
Your carnal desires
fanning the fires
You’re really burnin’ ‘em up
Partying n’ such

*(x4) Annihilate
Annihilate
All week long

You never think that hard
Til the devil’s in your backyard
But she can’t quite forget
that night in my corvette
Annihilating the week
Sledge hammers to the street
But then on Sunday
You’re looking mighty weak

*(x4)

** I’m a smokin’ and drinkin’ thing
(you’re a regular social machine)
I’m a smokin’ and drinkin’ thing
(you’re a radical partyin’ machine)

Annihilating this week
Screwing everything that you meet
She thinks she’s feeling better
But her conscience won’t let her
Your thoughts temporarily deceived
But your virginity can’t be retreived
You never had it before
And now you can’t close the door

*(x4)

Annihilate
Annihilate
Annihilate
Annihilate
Annihilate
Annihilate
Annihilate

Rise Above

admin — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 14:14:24 +0000

Jealous cowards try to control
Rise above
We’re gonna rise above
They distort what we say
Rise above
We’re gonna rise above
Try and stop what we do
Rise above
When they can’t do it themselves

We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us it’s no use

Society’s arms of control
Rise above
We’re gonna rise above
Think they’re smart
Can’t think for themselves
Rise above
We’re gonna rise above
Laugh at us
Behind our backs
I find satisfaction
In what they lack

We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us it’s no use

We are born with a chance
Rise above
We’re gonna rise above
I am gonna have my chance
Rise above
We’re gonna rise above

We are tired of your abuse
Try to stop us it’s no use

Rise above
Rise above
Rise above
We’re gonna rise above
We’re gonna rise above
We’re gonna rise above

Gimme Gimme Gimme

admin — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 23:23:59 +0000

Gimme gimme gimme
I need some more
Gimme gimme gimme
Don’t ask what for

Sitting here i’m a loaded gun
Waiting to go off
I’ve got nothing to do
But shoot my mouth off

Gimme gimme gimme
I need some more
Gimme gimme gimme
Don’t ask what for

You know i’m gonna go out
Get something for my head
If i keep on doing this
I’m gonna end up dead

Gimme gimme gimme
I need some more
Gimme gimme gimme
Don’t ask what for
I know the world’s got problems
I’ve got problems of my own
Not the kind that can’t be solved
With an atom bomb

Gimme gimme gimme
I need some more
Gimme gimme gimme
Don’t ask what for

Black Coffee

admin — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 20:20:59 +0000

Who are you with, where have you been
Imagination turns thoughts, reason can’t change
Staring at the walls, think I know what I see
Anger and coffee, feeling mean

Drinking black coffee, black coffee, drinking black coffee, staring at the wall
Black coffee, black coffee, black coffee, staring at the wall
Black coffee, drinking black coffee, drinking black coffee, staring at the…
Stab through my heart, stab through my heart, stab through my heart
But its all in my mind, mind, mind, mind
Just in my mind, mind, mind, mind
Its just in my mind, yeaaaaaaaaa

My heart is pounding, as stare at the wall
Its my turn to be jealous, now I don’t stand for it all
In fact I’m pretty stupid, I’m feeling small
Anger and coffee, feeling mean

Drinking black coffee, black coffee, black coffee, staring at the wall
Black coffee, black coffee, black coffee, staring at the wall
Black coffee, drinking black coffee, drinking black coffee, staring at the…
Stab through my heart, stab through my heart, stab through my heart
But its all in my mind, mind, mind, mind
Just in my mind, mind, mind, mind
Its just in my mind

Yeaaaaaaaa
Drinking black coffee, drinking black coffee, drinking black coffee, staring at the wall
Black coffee, black coffee, black coffee, staring at the wall
Black coffee, drinking black coffee, drinking black coffee, staring at the…
Stab through my heart, stab through my heart, stab through my heart
But its all in my mind, mind, mind, mind
Just in my mind, mind, mind, mind
Its just in my mind, yea

If the night goes on, paranoia adultery
Why should I be so stupid, when I can’t really see
The other side of the wall, is eating away at me
Anger and Coffee, feeling mean

Drinking black coffee, black coffee, black coffee, staring at the wall
Black coffee, black coffee, black coffee, staring at the wall
Black coffee, drinking black coffee, drinking black coffee, staring at the…
Stab through my heart, stab through my heart, stab through my heart
But its all in my mind, mind, mind, mind
Its just in my mind, mind, mind, mind
Its just in my mind

Thirsty And Miserable

admin — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 23:23:40 +0000

Thirsty and miserable
You drop to the floor
You drink ’til you can’t
Even see any more

Thirsty and miserable
Always wanting more
Thirsty and miserable
Always wanting more

My brother wants a ride
To the liquor store
You pity him
For what he wants it for

Thirsty and miserable
Always wanting more
Thirsty and miserable
Always wanting more

It’s 1:30
And we’re all getting nervous
The store closes at two
There’s not enough to last us

Thirsty and miserable
Always wanting more
Thirsty and miserable
Always wanting more

What I See

admin — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 06:06:41 +0000

This feeling haunts me
Behind these eyes
The shell seems so empty
Does anything live inside?

I want to live
I wish i was dead

I don’t even want to think i’m stuck here
And i know it
I don’t want to see
Make me close my eyes

I want to live i wish i was dead

I look in your eyes
And see it’s always this way
Live the lie and take a dive
Just to make it die

I’ve just got to close my eyes
I’ve got to close my eyes
I’ve got to close my eyes

Fix Me

admin — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 10:10:54 +0000

Someday
I’ll feel no pain
Someday
I won’t have a brain
They’ll take away the part that hurts
And let the rest remain
Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please, i don’t wanna be dead

Someday
We’ll all be rich
Someday
I won’t listen to you bitch
I’ll turn up the volume
And you can hear all the shit we play just for you
Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please, i don’t wanna be dead

Someday
I’ll feel no pain
Someday
I won’t have a brain
They’ll take away the part that hurts
And let the rest remain
Fix me
Fix my head
Fix me please, i don’t wanna be dead

Fix it!

Life Of Pain

admin — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 18:18:29 +0000

Look what you’ve done to your arms
I see you don’t care who you harm
I understand
You’ve never been the girl next door
But now you’re worse than before
Self destruct
Self…destruct

Life’s miseries pain is deep
Does it matter what anybody cares?
Can there be another outlet?
Nobody gets close, nobody dares
Self destruct
Self…destruct

I understand your problems
I can figure out the reasons why
But i can’t help what i feel
I can’t accept what i see
Self destruct
Self…destruct

There’s got to be a way to get out

Ive Had It

I lie around with the TV on I don’t do nothin’, I just hang around Waitin’ for your call But I don’t know where to fall I’m going to… explode I’ve had it! It’s no use I can’t take no more abuse I’m tired of the fuckin’ lines I’m losing my mind I’m going to… explode I’ve had it! Killin’ all your dreams Really who remembers? I play guitar for my car And I won’t get very far I’m going to… explode.

This Is Good

admin — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 10:10:17 +0000

I smash fists
Into my face
I feel it

This is good
This is good
This is good
This is good

I punch the wall
With my fists
I feel it

This is good
This is good
This is good
This is good

I hate to want, you make me want
I hate to want, you make me want
I hate to want, you make me want
To hurt you

admin — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 11:11:07 +0000

I’m about
To have a nervous breakdown
My head really hurts
If i don’t find a way out of here
I’m gonna go berserk ‘cuz
I’m crazy and i’m hurt
Head on my shoulders
It’s going…berserk

I hear the same old talk talk talk
The same old lines
Don’t do me that today, yeah
If you know what’s good for you you’ll get out of my way ‘cuz
I’m crazy and i’m hurt
Head on my shoulders
Going…berserk

I won’t apologize
For acting outta line
You see the way i am
You leave any time you can ‘cuz
I’m crazy and i’m hurt
Head on my shoulders
Going…berserk

I don’t care what you fuckin’ say
I’m so sick of everything
I just want to…die!

Depression

admin — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 18:18:39 +0000

Right here, all by myself
I ain’t got no one else
The situation is bleeding me
There’s no relief for a person like me

Depression’s got a hold of me
Depression-i gotta break free
Depression’s got a hold of me
Depression’s gonna kill me

I ain’t got no friends to call my own
I just sit here all alone
There’s no girls that want to touch me
I don’t need your goddamn sympathy

Depression’s got a hold of me
Depression-i gotta break free
Depression’s got a hold of me
Depression’s gonna kill me

Everybody just get away
I’m gonna boil over inside today
They say things are gonna get better
All i know is they fuckin’ better

Depression’s got a hold of me
Depression-i gotta break free
Depression’s got a hold of me
Depression’s gonna kill me

The Swinging Man

admin — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 14:14:16 +0000

Swinging man
I’m hanging around
Hangin’ ’round
I’m the swinging man and my feet
Never touch the ground
Swinging man
Swinging man
I swing back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
I was looking for a little warmth
But i didn’t find nuthin’
So now i’m hanging around
Swinging man
Feeling no pain
No pain
No pain
No pain
All the girls know my name
I go by; swinging man
Swinging man
I tell you what – you get yourself together
And you go downtown, you come on home
And i’ll still be hangin’ around
Because i’m the swinging man
And my feet never touch the ground
Now if you love me, you’ll cut me down
But if not, i’ll still be hangin’ around
Cuz i’m the swinging man and my feet
Never touch the ground
I’m the swinging man.

Loose Nut

admin — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 23:23:32 +0000

Loose nut in my head
Loose nut rattling my skull
Crying for a human touch
Or anything that’ll reach my soul

*(x2) Loose nut in my head
A bolt of lightning between my legs
I can’t think straight my mind’s a mess
I only see straight when I’m being led

Loose nut, I want head
The loneliness I dread
Loose nut you can help
Be with me so I don’t hurt myself

*(x2)

Loose nut, no bolt fits
My head is giving me fits
Loose nut looking for diversion
Just anything that’ll let me stick it in

*(x2)

Don’t mind my crazy smile
Hand me the phone so I can dial
I’ll be back in a little while
But first I gotta get some vertical smile

*(x2)
