Warning

This is a public service announcement this is only a test
emergency evacuation protest
may impair your ability to operate machinery
cant quite tell just what it means to me
keep out of reach of children dont talk to strangers
get your philosophy from a bumper sticker

warning : live without warning
warning : live without warning

better homes and safety-sealed communities?
did you remember to pay the utility?
caution : police line : you better not cross
is it the cop or am I the one thats really dangerous?
Sanitation, expiration date, question everything
Or shut up and be a victim of authority

warning : live without warning
warning : live without warning

this was a public service anouncement, this was only a test

Blood, Sex & Booze

Waiting in a room
all dressed up and bound and gagged
to a chair
it's so unfair
I won't dare move, for the pain
she puts me through is what i need
so make it bleed

I'm in distress, oh mistress
i confess, so do it one more time
these handcuffs are too tight
you know i will obey, so please 
don't make me beg
for blood sex and booze you give me

some say I'm disturbed
but it's what i deserve, another lesson
to be learned, from a girl called kill
My head is in the gutter
thank you sir, strike up another mandolin
of discpline
throw me to the dogs
let them eat my flesh down
to the wood
it feels so good

Church on Sunday

Today is the first day of the rest
of our lives
Tomorrow is too late
to pretend everything's alright
I'm not getting any younger as long
as you don't get any older
I'm not going to state that yesterday never was

Bloodshot deadbeat and lack of sleep
Making your mascara bleed
tears down your face
leaving traces of my mistakes

If I promise to go to church on sunday
will you go with me on friday night?
If you live with me, I'll die for you
and this compromise

I hereby solemnly swear to tell
the whole truth
And nothing but the truth is what
I'll ever hear from you
"trust" is a dirty word that comes
only from such a liar
but "respect" is something i will earn..
If you have faith

Fashion Victim

He's a victim of his own time
In his "vinage suit" and tie
he's a casuality dressed to the teeth
In the latest genocide
the new seasons come and go
at the dog and pony show
gonna sit and beg and fetch the names
and follow the dress codes
What's in a name...hey!

She's a scented magazine
looking sharp and living clean
living well and dressed to kill
but she looks like hell to me

So when you're dancing through you wardrobe
do the anorex - a go - go
cloaked with style
for pedophiles as the credit card explodes

you auctioned off your life
for the "most" expensive price
going once...
going twice...
now it's gone

(youth crew)

you auctioned off your life
for the "most" expensive price
going once...
going twice...
now it's gone

what's in a name...hey!
what's in a name...hey!
what's in a name?

Castaway

I'm on a sentimental journey 
Into sight and sound 
Of no returnand no looking back or down 
A conscientious objector to the 
war that's in my mind 
Leaving in a lurch and I'm 
taking back what's mine 

I'm on a mission 
Into destination unknown 
An expedition 
Onto desolation road 
Where I'm a 

Castaway - Going at it alone 
Castaway - Now I'm on my own 
Castaway - Going at it alone 
Castaway - Now I'm on my own 
Lost and found 
Trouble bound 
Castaway 

I'm driving on the night train and
driving stolen cars 
Testing my nerves out on the blvd.
Spontaneous combustion in the 
corners of my mind 
Leaving in a lurch 
and I'm taking back what's mine 

I'm on a mission 
Into destination unknown 
An expedition 
Onto desolation road 
Where I'm a 

Castaway - Going at it alone 
Castaway - Now I'm on my own 
Castaway - Going at it alone 
Castaway - Now I'm on my own 
Lost and found 
Trouble bound 
Castaway

Misery

Virginia was a "lot lizard" from F.L.A. 
She had a compound fracture in the "trunk" 
It started when she ran away 
Thumbs out on the interstate 
She hitched a ride to misery 

"Mr. Whirly" had a catastrophic incident 
He fell into the city by the bay 
He liquidated his estate 
Now he sleeps upon the Haight 
Panhandling misery 

He's gonna het high 
When he's low 
The fire burns from better days 
And she screams why oh why 
I said "I don't know" 
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday 
Of Misery 

Vinnie was a hustler out in Amsterdam 
He ran the drug cartel in "tinseltown" 
They found him in a Cadillac 
Bludgeoned with a baseball bat in the name 
of misery 

Ginna hit the road to New York City 
Mysteriously the night Vinnie croaked 
She stopped in Vegas to elope 
With Virginia and the dope 
And kissed the bride eternally 

And they're gonna het high 
When they're low 
The fire burns from better days 
And she screamed why oh why 
I said "I don't know" 
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday 
Of Misery 

Hell hounds on your trail now once again... boy 
It's groping on your leg until it sleeps 
The emptiness will fill your soul with sorrow 
Because it's not what you make it's what you leave 

And we're gonna get high 
When I'm low 
The fire burns from better days 
And she screamed why oh why 
I said I don't know"
The catastrophic hymns from yesterday 
Of Misery

Deadbeat Holiday

Wake up.....the house is on fire 
And the cat's caught in the dryer 
Philosophy's a liar when 
your home is a headstone 
"Icon" is the last chance for hope 
When there's no such thing as heroes 
Your faith lies in the ditch that 
you dug yourself in 

Last chance to piss it all away 
Nothing but hell to pay 
When the lights are going down 

Deadbeat holiday- celebrate your own decay 
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high 
On a noose over your home 

Deadbeat holiday-Get on your knees and pay 
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high 
But at least you're not alone 

Christmas lights in the middle of August 
Grudges come back to haunt us 
Your oldest allies are your long lost enemies 
Grounded in a duplex to find that 
You're living on a landmine 
Vacation hotspots is a cemetery drive 

Last chance to piss it all away 
Nothing but hell to pay 
When the lights are going down 

Deadbeat holiday-Celebrate your own decay 
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high 
On a noose over your home 

Deadbeat holiday-Get on your knees and pay 
There's a vacant sign that's hanging high 
But at least you're not alone 

Last chance to piss it all away 
Nothing but hell to pay when all you 
Want to do...not to...give up 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hold On

As I stepped to the edge 
beyond the shadow of a doubt 
With my conscience beating 
Like the pulse of a drum 
that hammers on and on 
Until I reach the break of day 
As the sun beats down on 
the halfway house 
Has my conscience beating 
The sound in my ear 
The will to persevere 
As I reach the break of day 

When you lost all hope and excuses 
And the cheapskated and the losers 
Nothing's left to cling onto 
Gotta to hold on 
you got to Hold on to yourself 

A cry of hope 
A plea for peace 
And my conscience beating 
It's not what I want for 
It's all that I need 
To reach the break of day 
So I run to the edge 
of the shadows of a doubt 
With my conscience bleeding 
Here lies the truth the lost treasures of my youth 
As I hold on to the break of day 

When you lost all hope and excuses 
And the cheapskated and the losers 
Nothing's left to cling on 
Gotta to hold on Hold on to yourself 

When you lost all hope and excuses 
And the cheapskated and the losers 
Nothing's left to cling on 
you got to Hold on to yourself

Jackass

To know you is to hate you 
So loving you must be like suicide 
Well I don't mind if you don't mind 
I'm not the one that's going to die 
I guess I just can't listen 
To this one sided conversation again 
Cause I don't care if I don't care 
Well No one ever said that life is fair 

Well everybody loves a joke 
But no one likes a fool 
And you're always cracking the same old lines again 
You're well rehearsed one every verse 
And that was stated clear 
But no one understands your verity 

The center of attention 
Got an honorable mention once again 
Congrantulations ans salutations 
You're figment of your own imagination 

Well everybody loves a joke 
But no one likes a fool 
And you're always cracking the same old lines again 
You're well rehearsed one every verse 
And that was stated clear 
But no one understands your verity 


To know you is to bait you 
And you fell victim to your own denial 
Well I don't mind if you don't mind 
You're wasting all your time 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Waiting

I've been waiting a long time 
For this moment to come 
I'm destined 
For anything at all 
Downtown light will be shining 
On me like a new diamond 
Ring out under the midnight hour 
No one can touch me now 
And I can't turn my back 
It's too late ready or not at all 

I'm so much closer than 
I have never known ...wake up

Dawning of a new era 
Calling don't let it catch up you falling 
Ready or not at all 
Well so close enough to taste it 
Almost... I can embrace this 
Feeling.... on the tip of my tongue 

Well I'm so much closer than 
I have never known ...wake up
Better thank you're lucky stars..... 

Dumbstruck 
colour me stupid 
Good luck
you're gonna need it 
Where I'm going if I get there 
at all 

Wake Up
Better thank you're lucky stars....

Minority

I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
down with the moral majority
'cause I want to be the minority

I pledge allegiance to the underworld
one nation underdog
there of which I stand alone
a face in the crowd
unsung, against the mold
without a doubt
singled out
the only way i know

I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
down with the moral majority
'cause I want to be the minority

stepped out of the line
like a sheep runs from the herd
marching out of time
to my own beat now
the only way I know

one light, one mind
flashing in the dark
blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"for crying out loud" she screamed unto me
a free for all
fuck 'em all
"you are your own sight"

I want to be the minority
I don't need your authority
down with the moral majority
'cause I want to be the minority

Macy's Day Parade

Today's the Macy's Day Parade 
Night of the living dead is on its way 
With a credit report for duty call 
It's a lifetime guaranteed 
Stuffed in a coffin "10 % more free" 
Red light special at the mausoleum 

Give me something that I need 
Satisfaction guaranteed to you 
What's the consolation prize? 
Economy sized dreams of hope 

When I was a kid I thought 
I wanted all the things that I haven't got 
Oh but I learned the hardest way 
Then I realized what it took 
To tell the difference between 
thieves and crooks 
when all along it was me and you

Give me something that I need 
Satisfaction guaranteed 
Because I'm thinking about
a brand new hope 
The one I've never known 
Cause now I know 
It's all that I wanted 

What's the consolation prize? 
Economy sized dreams of hope 
Give me something that I need 
Satisfaction guaranteed 
Because I'm thinking about
a brand new hope 
The one I've never known 
And where it goes 
And I'm thinking 'bout 
the only road 
The one I've never known 
And were it goes 

And I'm thinking about 
a brand new hope 
The one I've never known 
Cause now I know 
It's all that I wanted
