Post the lyrics of the song you're listening to right now
Because I'm bored, and I want new song ideas. :P


"Stop The World" by Riddlin' Kids.

I'm walkin' on broken eggshells
Tryin' to make some sense of this
Tryin' to save face with false appearances
I started with next to nothin'
And you're diggin' me a shallow grave
Tryin' to put a face on what's holding me back today

I'm sayin'
Ready for the world to stop
Takin' everything I got
Everybody's had enough
So stop the world, cuz i want off
Takin' everything I own
Sinkin' to an all-time low
Ready cuz it's time to go
So stop the world, cuz i want off

I'm cookin' up a resurrection
I'll serve it to you on a silver plate
You don't want a taste of the fantasies that I create
I'm walkin' on broken eggshells
Tryin' to make some sense of this
Tryin' to save face with false appearances

I'm sayin'
Ready for the world to stop
Takin' everything I got
Everybody's had enough
So stop the world, cuz i want off
Takin' everything I own
Sinkin' to an all-time low
Ready cuz it's time to go
So stop the world, and let's go home

I'm cookin' up a resurrection
I'll serve it to you on a silver plate
You don't want a taste of the fantasies that I create

I'm sayin'
Ready for the world to stop
Takin' everything I got
Everybody's had enough
So stop the world, cuz i want off
Takin' everything I own
Sinkin' to an all-time low
Ready cuz it's time to go
So stop the world, cuz i want off

1. Off the radio:
"Let Me Go" by 3 Doors Down

One more kiss could be the best thing
But one more lie could be the worst
And all these thoughts are never resting
And you're not something I deserve

In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me


You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Let me go

I dream ahead to what I hope for
And I turn my back on loving you
How can this love be a good thing
When I know what I'm goin through

In my head there's only you now
This world falls on me
In this world there's real and make believe
And this seems real to me


You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
You love me but you don't know who I am
So let me go
Just Let me goo...
Let me go

And no matter how hard I try
I can't escape these things inside I know
I knowww..
When all the pieces fall apart
You will be the only one who knows
Who knows


You love me but you don't know who I am
I'm torn between this life I lead and where I stand
And you love me but you don't know Who I am
So let me go
Just let me go

And you love me but you don't
You love me but you don't
You love me but you don't know who I am
And you love me but you don't
You love me but you don't
You love me but you don't know me

Security stopped you from running up on stage? :D

20. Noooo it wasn't me.
Ok see there were some teenagers, about 15 or 16(I myself was only 17) anyway they were obviously high on something and they were trying to mosh and shit.

Because see this was at a fair, so there were a lot of people standing in front on the stage, but it was not a mosh pit.

So yeah they were being stupid and obnoxious and moved up a bit and almost got in a fight with this huge motherfucker, who was held back by his friends who were telling him they were punks and not worth it.

So the kid comes back and starts moshing INTO ME, and my protective older brother got pissed and shoved the kid, who was knocked into his friends who shoved him back and he got a flying punch at my brother. Giving my brother a bloody nose, but my brother got in a left hook and sent the kid flying back into the crowd.

So we had to leave to take care of my brothers nose, and then we saw later that the kid got thrown out.

So that's my story.

2. Foggy Dew sung by Sinnead O'Connor played by the Chieftains
As down the glen one Easter morn
To a city fair rode I.
There armed lines of marching men
In squadrons passed me by.
No pipe did hum, no battle drum
Did sound its loud tattoo,
But the Angelus Bells o'er the Liffey swells
Rang out in the foggy dew.

Right proudly high in Dublin town
Hung they out a flag of war.
T'was better to die 'neath an Irish sky
Than at Sulva or Sud el Bar.
And from the plains of Royal Meath
Strong men came hurrying through
While Brittania's huns with their long-range guns
Sailed in through the foggy dew.

The bravest fell and the requiem bell
Rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Eastertide
In the springing of the year.
While the world did gaze with deep amaze
At those fearless men but few
Who bore the fight that freedom's light
Might shine through the foggy dew.

And back through the glen I rode again
And my heart with grief was sore
For I parted then with valient men
Whom I never shall see more.
But to and fro in my dreams I go
And I kneel and pray for you,
For slavery fled the glorious dead
When you fell in the foggy dew.

16. Its on their album "The Long Black Veil"
All the songs on the album save one are traditional Irish songs. Also on the album is Van Morrison, Mick Jagger, Rolling Stones, Sting, Mark Knopfler, Tom Jones and Marianne Faithful. The Chieftains are the band and because none of them are vocalists, they invite people to sing on their albums.


Another good albums is "Tears of Stone" again its all traditional music but this time its all female vocalists.

3. "They're coming to take me away..." -- it's on a loop.
They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-haaa!

Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees
And begged you not to leave
Because I'd go berserk?
Well. . .

You left me anyhow
And then the days got worse and worse
And now you see I've gone
Completely out of my mind
And. . .

They're coming to take me away, HA HA
They're coming to take me away, HO HO HEE HEE HA HA
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see
Those nice, young men
In their clean, white coats
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

You thought it was a joke
And so you laughed
You laughed when I had said
That losing you would make me flip my lid
Right. . .

You know you laughed, I heard you laugh
You laughed, you laughed and laughed
And then you left
But now you know I'm utterly mad!
And. . .

They're coming to take me away, HA HA
They're coming to take me away, HO HO HEE HEE HA HA
To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

I cooked your food
I cleaned your house
And this is how you pay me back
For all my kind, unselfish loving deeds?!!
Hah. . .

Well you just wait
They'll find you yet
And when they do they'll
Put you in the ASPCA, you mangy mutt!
And. . .

They're coming to take me away, HA HA
They're coming to take me away, HO HO HEE HEE HA HA
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see
Those nice, young men
In their clean, white coats
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

To the happy home
With trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see
Those nice, young men
In their clean, white coats
And they're coming to take me away, Ha-haaa!

5. I'm diggin some Cole Porter Trip hop
I’ve got you under my skin
I’ve got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart, that you’re really a part of me
I’ve got you under my skin

I’ve tried so not to give in
I’ve said to myself this affair never will go so well
But why should I try to resist, when baby will I know than well
That I’ve got you under my skin

I’d sacrifice anything come what might
For the sake of having you near
In spite of a warning voice that comes in the night
And repeats, repeats in my ear

Don’t you know you fool, you never can win
Use your mentality, wake up to reality
But each time I do, just the thought of you
Makes me stop before I begin
’cause I’ve got you under my skin

6. wow
i see this thread as my favorite song is ON now!!

"Honour" by VNV Nation:

Passive fields. January 2012...
A nation that stands alone.
Cold voices, faces pale,
Gathered unto their judgement day.
Such pride remains unbroken
Such words remain unspoken
Just mothers to stand in vain and cry
Tears and medals in the rain.
Shall I recall when justice did prevail?
No reason to be found why reason did fail.
The all clear resounding
The way was clear to rebuild this land.
Shall I call on you to guide me well?
To see our hopes and dreams fulfilled,
On this day of our ascension?


Stand your ground this is what we are fighting for
For our spirit and laws and ways.
Cry: havoc and let slip the dogs of war,
For heaven or hell we shall not wait.
Shall I think of honour as lies?
Or lament it's aged slow demise?
Shall I stand as a total stranger
On this day in this stone chamber?

The all clear resounding
The way was clear to rebuild this land.
Shall I call on you to guide me well?
To see our hopes and dreams fulfilled?
On this day of our ascension
On this day we praise the fallen.

Stand your ground this is what we are fighting for
For our spirit and laws and ways
Cry: havoc and let slip the dogs of war,
For heaven or hell we shall not wait.
Shall I think of honour as lies?
Or lament it's aged slow demise?
Shall I stand as a total stranger
On this day in this stone chamber?

(it's anti-war dammit! x( )

10. "Won't you scratch my itch sweet Annie Rich...
...And welcome me back to town
Come out on your porch or I'll step into your parlor
And I'll show you how it all went down

Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town

Oh, and I remember something you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you

`Cause I headed West to grow up with the country
Across those prairies with the waves of grain
And I saw my devil,
and I saw my deep blue sea
And I thought about a calico bonnet from
Cheyenne to Tennessee

We flew straight across that river bridge,
last night a half past two
The switchman wave his lantern goodbye
and so long as we went rolling through
Billboards and truckstops pass by the grievous angel
And now I know just what I have to do

And the man on the radio won't leave me alone
He wants to take my money for something
that I've never been shown

And I saw my devil,
and I saw my deep blue sea
And I thought about a calico bonnet from
Cheyenne to Tennessee

The news I could bring I met up with the king
On his head an amphetamine crown
He talked about unbuckling that old bible belt
And lighted out for some desert town

Out with the truckers and the kickers and the cowboy angels
And a good saloon in every single town

Oh, but I remembered something you once told me
And I'll be damned if it did not come true
Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you

Twenty thousand roads I went down, down, down
And they all lead me straight back home to you

13. The Fall: OPEN THE BOXOCTOSIS #2
OPEN THE BOXOCTOSIS #2

Land of bounty


Open the box, open the box
Open the goddam box!

Open the box, open the box
Open the goddam box!

I opened the box
Of imperial stuff
And to my surprise
I found twenty five warriors
Warriors
With shields

Open the box, open the box
Open the goddam box!

Open the box, open the box
Open the goddam box!

I opened the box
Of imperial love
And to my surprise
I found twenty five warriors
With ribbons

Land of tolerance
Saints like me
With good word for everybody

Open the box, open the box
Open the goddam box!

Everybody

Open the box, open the box
Open the goddam box!

I found imperious ribbons
I opened the box
And to my surprise
I found love
Imperial stuff

Open the box, open the box
Open the goddam box!

Open the box, open the box
Open the goddam box!

I opened the box
I was well perplexed
I opened the box
It was orthodox
It was looking at me
With imperial love
I opened the box

I opened the b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b...

Land of return to seat
Land of bounty
Land of dope cake

I opened the box

Open the box, open the box
Open the goddam box!]

I opened the box
And to my surprise
I found twenty five warriors

15. The Jam: "A Town Called Malice."
Worse comes to worst, my favorite song of all time.

Better stop dreaming of the quiet life -
cos it's the one we'll never know
And quit running for that runaway bus -
cos those rosey days are few
And - stop apologising for the things you've never done,
Cos time is short and life is cruel -
but it's up to us to change
This town called malice.

Rows and rows of disused milk floats
stand dying in the dairy yard
And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk
bottles to their hearts
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come
fast and furious
In a town called malice.

Struggle after struggle - year after year
The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice -
I'm almost stone cold dead
In a town called malice.

A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
gets dashed against the Co-op
To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
It's a big decision in a town called malice.

The ghost of a steam train - echoes down my track
It's at the moment bound for nowhere -
just going round and round
Playground kids and creaking swings -
lost laughter in the breeze
I could go on for hours and I probably will -
but I'd sooner put some joy back
In this town called malice.


"The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice" is such a great line. Paul Weller's a fine, fine lyricist, if you can look past his excessive Britishness.

17. "Amie" - Damien Rice
Nothing unusual, nothing strange
Close to nothing at all
The same old scenario, the same old rain
And there's no explosions here
Then something unusual, something strange
Comes from nothing at all
I saw a spaceship fly by your window
Did you see it disappear?

Amie come sit on my wall
And read me the story of O
And tell it like you still believe
That the end of the century
Brings a change for you and me
Nothing unusual, nothing's changed
Just a little older that's all
You know when you've found it,
There's something I've learned
'Cause you feel it when they take it away

Something unusual, something strange
Comes from nothing at all
But I'm not a miracle
And you're not a saint
Just another soldier
On the road to nowhere

Amie come sit on my wall
And read me the story of O
And tell it like you still believe
That the end of the century
Brings a change for you and me

And Amie come sit on my wall
And read me the story of O
And tell it like you still believe
That the end of the century
Brings a change for you and me

19. "Johnny Tar" by Gaelic Storm
Let me tell you a little story
'bout a man named Johnny Tar
he was a hard drinkin' son of a preacher
always at the bar
lager from the taps and shots of Paddy from the shelf
he could open his throttle and pour back the bottle
as quick as the devil himself...Johnny Tar

Chorus: And even if you saw it yourself you wouldn't believe it
I wouldn't trust a person like mw if I were you
I heard it from a personwears he has an alibi
who heard it from another who knows a fella who says it's true

.....Ok, this is too much work, but it's a great song, trust me.

22. I Hear A Drum
I hear a drum beating like the heart of an angry beast.
Madness is feeding. Madness will have its feast
I see flags waving like blood in the air.
Insanity enslaving people everywhere.
Just say no.
We won’t go.
Not in our name
Will you murder anymore.

I hear trumpets calling the best of us away.
I see bullies brawling in streets where children play.
Evil men are cheating the people that they lead.
Endless war proceeding while silent millions bleed.
Just say no.
We won’t go.
Not in our name
Will you murder anymore.


Just say no.
We won’t go.
Not in our name
Will you murder anymore.

I hear a small heart beating bravely in the dark.
Life is so fleeting. It’s such a fragile spark.

24. BYOB - System of a Down
Why do they always send the poor?

Barbarisms by Barbarras
With pointed heels
Victorious victories kneel
For brand new spankin' deals

Marching forward hypocritic and
Hypnotic computers
You depend on our protection
Yet you feed us lies from the tablecloth

Everybody's going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

Kneeling roses disappearing into
Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox stealing
Our intentions

Hangers sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom
Handed to obsoletion
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth

Everybody's going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

Everybody's going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

Blast off
It's party time
And we don't live in a fascist nation

Blast off
It's party time
And where the fuck are you?

Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?

Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?

Kneeling roses disappearing into
Moses' dry mouth
Breaking into Fort Knox stealing
Our intentions

Hangers sitting dripped in oil
Crying freedom
Handed to obsoletion,
Still you feed us lies from the tablecloth

Everybody's going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sunshine

Everybody's going to the party have a real good time
Dancing in the desert blowing up the sun

Where the fuck are you?
Where the fuck are you?

Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why don't presidents fight the war?
Why do they always send the poor?

Why do they always send the poor?
Why do they always send the poor?
They always send the poor
They always send the poor

(spoken: Aw sho'!)
Come on, mama, let us, go to the edge of town
(spoken: Baby, I know where there's a bird's nest built at)
I know where there's a bird's nest, built down on the ground

Oh, I wake up every mornin', now, with a jinx all around my bed
(spoken: Aw sho!)
I wakes up every mornin', with a jinx all around my bed
(spoken: You know I'll have them jinx forever)
I have been a good provider, but I believe I have been misled

30. Highway 101 by Social Distortion
Take a drive baby up the coast, yeah Highway 101
I'll pass Ventura and Santa Barbara too, just as fast as my motor runs
Gotta pocket full of memories, some happy some are sad
Gotta girl standing by my side through the good times and the bad.

Listen to the boulevard, listen to the falling rain,
I believe in love now, with all its joys and pains

Sick boy, sick girl, looking nice dressed up on a Saturday night
Take a walk downtown for a while and chase the pale moonlight
I can still hear the mission bells and the train rolling through your town
Gonna leave this world behind, we're Southern California bound.

Listen to the boulevard, listen to the falling rain,
I believe in love now, with all of its joys and pains
Follow the palm trees, under the California sun
I believe in love now, I believe in love again.

31. The Arcade Fire - "Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)"
I woke up with the power out,
not really something to shout about.
Ice has covered up my parents hands
don't have any dreams don't have any plans.

I went out into the night,
I went out to find some light.
Kids are swingin' from the power lines,
nobody's home, so nobody minds.

I woke up on the darkest night,
neighbors all were shoutin' that they found the light.
("We found the light")
Shadows jumpin' all over my walls
some of them big, some of them small.

I went out into the night.
I went out to pick a fight with anyone.
Light a candle for the kids,
Jesus Christ don't keep it hid!

Ice has covered up my parents hands
don't have any dreams don't have any plans.
Growin' up in some strange storm,
nobody's cold, nobody's warm.

I went out into the night,
I went out to find some light.
Kids are dyin' out in the snow,
look at them go, look at them go!

And the power's out in the heart of man,
take it from your heart put in your hand.

What's the plan?

Is it a dream? Is it a lie?
I think I'll let you decide.
Just light a candle for the kids,
Jesus Christ don't keep it hid!

Cause nothin's hid, from us kids!
You ain't foolin' nobody with the lights out!

And the power's out in the heart of man,
take it from your heart put in your hand.
And there's something wrong in the heart of man,
you take it from your heart and put it in your hand!

Where'd you go?!

32. Icehouse. No Promises.
No Promises
by Icehouse
album:
a winter palace
from the arabian nights
white waves on an ocean
gems from a golden age

life in your new world
turning round and round
making some sense
where there's no sense at all

no promises
but if you should fall

stars die in the silence
of arabian nights
wind washes the seasons
in these days of a golden age

life in your new world
turning round and round
making some sense
where there's no sense at all

no promises
but if you should fall

I could give you more
than just the shape of things
break every word
begin it all again
your name on a white sheet
pure lace shot with passion
but as love lies
bleeding in your hands

heaven sends you
no promises
of arabian nights
no white waves on an ocean
no gems from a golden age

life in your new world
turning round and round
so make some sense
where there's no sense at all

I give you
no promises
but if you should fall

no promises
but if you should fall
you fall

no promises
but if you should fall

no promises
but if you should fall
you fall

life in your new world
as it turns round and round

no promises
but if you should fall

33. Hurt - Johnny Cash version.
I Hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here

what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
and you could have it all
my empire of dirt

I will let you down
I will make you hurt

if I could start again
a million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

-LK

35. The Grand Tour- George Jones
Playing on my show right now:

The Grand Tour

Step right up, come on in
If you'd like to take the grand tour
Of a lonely house that once was home sweet home
I have nothing here to sell you
Just some things that I will tell you
Some things I know will chill you to the bone

Over there sits the chair
Where she brang the paper to me
And sit down on my knee and whisper oh I love you
But now she's gone forever
And this old house will never be the same
Without the love love that we once knew

Straight ahead that's the bed
Where we lay and love together
And lord knows we had a good thing going here
See her picture on the table
Don't it look like she'd be able
Just to touch me and say good morning dear

There's her rings all her things
And her clothes are in the closet
Just like she left them when she tore my world apart
As you leave you'll see the nursery
Oh she left me without mercy
Taking nothing but our baby and my heart
Step right up, come on in.....

36. I like silly & fun lyrics
from my favorite band: Widespread Panic, may I present "Coconuts"

I like coconuts
You can break them open
They smell like ladies lying in the sun
I like coconuts
You can break them open
They smell like ladies lying in the sun
And if I had my way
I'd give a coconut to everyone

I got a friend named Jack
Look like a bone in a paper sack
That's my friend Jack
C'mon Jack, smell these coconuts
There's enough for everyone
Jackie likes the smell of cut grass
He used to play ball on Saturdays
Playing in the sun
Jackie likes the smell of cut grass
He used to play ball on Saturdays
Playing in the sun
If Jackie had his way
He'd give some cut grass to everyone.

It's time to play
Never tasted such a sweet thing
Yesterdays
Sweet memories my heart's repeating
Time today
Everybody's heart is beating
Everybody's smile is greeting
Everybody's soul is heating (eating?)

I know a guy named Fred
Look like a bone in a slanted shed
That's my friend Fred
C'mon Fred, smell these coconuts
There's enough for everyone
Freddy likes the sound of cold drink
He used to pop tops on Saturday
Sipping in the sun
Freddy likes the sound of cold drink
He used to pop tops on Saturday
He was sipping in the sun
And if Freddy had his way
He'd give a cold drink to everyone

Gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows
Nobody knows like I know my nose knows
Gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows
Nobody knows like I know my nose knows
Gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows
Nobody knows like I know my nose knows
Gonna follow my nose to where the coconut grows
Nobody knows like I know my nose knows

I like coconuts
You can break them open
And they smell like ladies lying in the sun

38. Blonde Redhead - Loved Despite Great Faults
You will move
With me we will
Stay still and
Words will move around us.
Surround us in gold
And in our world
We will be
Silent.

You will swim
To me we will
Be free
And words will move around us
Swim around us
Surround us in schools
And in our cool
We'll be reminded.

That you refuse to fade away
I hide to stay the same
Where do we go from here
I don't know.

For me you flower to be chosen
I fall down to be noticed
Where do we go from here i don't know.

It was a time
A way of life
The only secrets
We talked about
Were all the fears
In all these years
We spent together

39. Good stuff - Kelis
Kelis - Good Stuff Lyrics

Yeah, I'm telling you boy
You're wasting your time on her
The good stuff's right here

I seen you when you walked in
Stealing all the light
You're the type of guy
That makes them fly girls fuss and fight
They can't love you more
Not the way you're wishing for
They go about it all wrong
Experts get it right

1 - (ooh, ooh)
I'm telling you now boy
Put your eyes on me
(ooh, ooh)
And if you call now boy
I'll throw my heart in free
(ooh, ooh)
I can love you
In one million ways
(ooh, ooh)
And if you don't like it
Send it back in thirty days

I know you're sick of them
Knowing who you are
All they wanna do is
Ride around in your fancy car
Gimme this, gimme that
And yeah I know it's so whack
All they wanna do is be seen with a superstar

Repeat 1

2 -this is the good stuff
This is the good stuff
You don't know this is that good stuff
This is the good stuff


Bulletproof under the suit, no need for alarm
The way I flow through the club call me disco don
But my name, still terrar, still the world at my palm
You chicken, heat front passenger seat load in my arm
Who she with next?
One of two clipse intended specs then
Dance floor, hot sex
My hands rubbing her breast
What am I saying baby?
Discotech or discotheque?
Either way to miss my spray just swish your neck


Now that you've seen
You really wanted me
And those girls wasted their time
Thinking they could possibly (yeah right)
You want this you don't want that
Here girls he don't want it back
And if you want the next one
You should repeat after me

Repeat 2

(ooh, ooh)
This is the good stuff
(ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)


Yo you looking at stars
Yeah, you know who we are
(you don't know)
Clipse, kelis, neptunes
Star track I'll be back baby


Good stuff
This is the good stuff
This is the good stuff
You don't know this is that good stuff

Inside your cover's always blown

46. "My Brain Hurts"
Time gets wasted every day
I watch the minutes tick away
My brain is melting like a
chocolate ice cream bar
Like characters on TV
these people look like maggots
to me and I wonder what the
hell is wrong with me
Milk fed little beauty queen
she's straight out of a magazine
she sits beside me
breathing different air than me
The perfect generation sees that I'm
infected with disease and
everything just crumbles
and there's nothing left
If I wanna do something right
I gotta do it myself or someone
else will fuck it up
It isn't all black and white
and now it's time to stop
and figure out reality
No one knows what they're
talking about if what they're talking
about don't making any sense to me
I gotta figure it out
cause I don't want something
to believe in
