Anxiety
02:28
|
|||
It’s just me and my anxiety were like 2 peas in a green bean as lonely as can be
I don’t need nobodies sympathy I got my cat and my guitar at 2am were free
I made pretend that I was different people different bodies different fears so I could be somebody as long as it’s not me
And I grew to find I couldn’t hide forever had to piece myself together lest it’s gone to never be complete again
But It’s just me and my anxiety we occupy this mind together living in harmony
I don’t need nobodies sympathy I’ve learned to cope with my own dread it keeps me on my feet
I built a life upon a myth I don’t believe I must admit the nuclear family don’t exist the way they always said it did and I always fear I’m gonna fuck it up the way I always did the consequences are severe and I’ve got little left
But that’s just so
That’s just fucking so
I built a life upon a myth I don’t believe I must admit the nuclear family don’t exist the way they always said it did and I grew to find I could hide forever had to piece myself together lest it’s gone to never be complete again
But that’s just me…

we didnt have that shit way back in '93
you call me jealous and its kinda true
here's some examples of what we did do
we hung flyers
IN THE SNOW
We made demo's
IN THE SNOW
We used cassettes
IN THE SNOW
Our pants got wet
IN THE SNOW
So call me boomer from the top of the trees
I aint never ever gonna know what that means
KIDS TODAY don't understand
that things don't always go as planned
Its life's hard lessons but you know what?
Sometimes you take it in the butt
Internet google cellular phones
if i wanted to call I had to wait to get home
You call me jealous and its kinda true
Here's some examples of what we did do
We used payphones
IN THE SNOW
we rented movies
IN THE SNOW
We took the bus
IN THE SNOW
we said "in the snow"
IN THE SNOW
So call me boomer from the top of the trees
I aint never ever gonna know what that means
KIDS TODAY don't understand
that things don't always go as planned
Its life's hard lessons but you know what?
Sometimes you take it in the butt.

Lets do Some Business
03:23
|
|||
Didn’t come here to pass the time
I didn’t come for the conversation
I don’t want to unwind
I didn’t come with an invitation
I know you think it’s taboo
But I’m so sick of the same old story
I know you think that I’m rude
But petty morals don’t mean nuthin to me
I don’t wanna hear all that mess and I
Didn’t come here to fuck around
Let’s do some business
Don’t give me run around
I want a piece of it
And I want it now
Don’t like to wait for my turn
I want instant gratification
Your time aint of my concern
I don’t got time for deliberation
You got what I gotta have
Compromise ain’t in my vocabulary
I shouldn’t have to ask
I’m gonna do what I feel is necessary
I don’t wanna hear all that mess and I
Didn’t come here to fuck around
Let’s do some business
Don’t give me run around
I want a piece of it
And I want it now.
I want a piece of everything
Never gonna have my fill of it
My arrogance is poisonous
Gonna suck the fun out of everything
Let’s do some business…

New Kinda Habit
01:59
|
|||
I got a new kinda habit
I got a new kind of fix
I’m getting off on a new kinda high
My brains a new kinda twisted
I know just what I need
I made it grow from a seed
Piece of my mind that made with my time
And now it’s turning on me
I don’t need no voice
inside my head
Don’t wanna be a dummy
Don’t wanna be the dead
I just wanted
TO GET PAID
Don’t owe nothin
It’s self made outa the toughest love and I just can’t wait to show you
I got a new kinda greed
It’s kinda Eatin at me
I let it turn into some kinda monster
Now it’s looking to feed
Take it wherever I go
I think it’s starting to show
I cannot hide the demon inside so I
I think I’ll just let it go.
I don’t need no voice
inside my head
Don’t wanna be a dummy
Don’t wanna be the dead
I just wanted
TO GET PAID
Don’t owe nothin
It’s self made
I just need it
To feel alive
Want to abuse it
And I feel alright

Radioactive
03:08
|
|||
I see an innovation we dont understand
Experimenting on our lives and on our land
Poison earth to keep our numbers nice and trim
Supernova in the hands of feeble men
It sets the eyes on fire, It burns right through your bones
It tears the cities down and takes an awful toll
Run and hide if you may, but you wont get far
Beware at all cost- radioactive
A novel means to increase shear destructive power
Meat is made to burn upon this blasted pyre
Sacrifices made to progress now and then
Moving forward to inevitable end.
I see as clear as day The end is getting near
There aint no time act there aint no time for fear
We condemned ourselves with confidence and greed
We Destroyed ourselves by sowing rotten seeds
It sets the eyes on fire, It burns right through your bones
It tears the cities down and takes an awful toll
Run and hide if you may, but you wont get far
Beware at all cost- radioactive

Casper

Went down the protest just the other day
Wanted to see what freedom had to say
But what I saw was a man with a bunch of racist shit to spray
I saw this guy across the common
He was indifferent to all that noise
He was just there, lookin for a queer
Who looked just like me
He had a mustache like a chevron
Him and casper gonna get one on that ass tonight!
Yeah, He got all dressed up to GET SOME.
Him and casper gonna break one off that ass tonight
I love a man in a uniform
His big black boots and his truncheon long
Spit on his mask slap his ass
And that mother is ready to go
He brought a friend and he holds him tight
White knuckled grip on that big white pipe
He had a name for his cane and he wanted to put it on me.
He had a mustache like a chevron
Him and casper gonna get one on that ass tonight!
Yeah, he got all dressed up to GET SOME
Him and casper gonna break one of that ass tonight!
Yeah he wants to hit it
Yeah he wants to split it
Wants to show me his love....

Cemetery Nights
03:53
|

Started with maryjane and moonshine on friday night
Looking for anyplace to get messed up outa sight
ain’t no better place to be
When 16 and finger deep
Cemetery night
We Playin laser tag relievio In the dark
Hoping our hip-shot laser blast hits its mark
ain’t no better place to play
Ollie ollie oxen free
Cemetery night
I picked her brain
for the blood stains left on the side
Watchin her lips smackin describing
the way she died
Sit and listen on a grave
Sorounded by the dead she raves
Cemetery night
Now that I’m aged I convince myself-when it’s time..
That I’ll return here to be Buried underneath the moon light.
There is no better place to lay
when you reach the end of days
Cemetery nights

Loose as a Goose
02:56
|

Self medicate anxiety
Psyco-reactive works for me
I feel unchained and unrestrained
I feel unleashed and hard to reach
I’m feeling good I’m feeling bad
I’m feeling things I shouldn’t have
I feel loose
Loose as a goose
Anxious don’t begin to explain
The mess that’s rolling through my brain
I eat some stems I eat some caps
I pop some pills and maybe tabs
Out of my mind is where I’m goin
Into the frying pan in where I feel at home
I feel loose
Loose as a goose
My doctor said I needed pills to fix my brain
She said there may some depression maybe pain
Zoloft and Ritalin don’t work the way she planned
I’m gonna put my mental health back in my hands
I feel loose
Loose as a goose

She's Hypnotic
04:30
|

Yeah how she shake that thing
putting all the younger girls to shame
Yeah watch that body swing
while throwing all the young girls shade.
Yeah she’s hypnotic and a little chaotic
I’ll take the pleasure with the pain all day
she may be crazy and a little lazy
but she’s the only girl for me
Yeah she’s my tiger queen.
Makin all the younger girls look plain.
Yeah shes a sex machine,
all she thinks about is getting laid
She wants to change me
But I just stay the same
She says she wants to help me be a better me
She wants to own me
She loves 2 scold me
But if I can’t be myself then
What the fuck could I be?
She’ll be the death of me
if I don’t change my ways.
Her hands around my throat
and cell phones off my face.
She tries to end my self destructive ways
And strip the many vices that make me who I am
Says she wants to save me from a bitter end
But I won’t No I just can’t
No I won’t be the one who’s saved
She tries to teach me love and empathy
maybe it’s for the better
but I’ll wait and see

Power Junkie
03:05
|

Power junkies rule the nation
Working man is kept in line
Sellin lies to stay in power
Buyin votes and buyin time
Propaganda makes sheep among us
And distrust to the other side
Academic, zealot, army hero
Activist or tv star..
Who do you trust
And what do you know?
He’s got you coming and going
WHAT A FAKE
WHAT A SNAKE
touts freedom and jail’s detractors
WHAT A FAKE
WHAT A SNAKE
Says he alone has answers
WHAT A SNAKE
WHAT A FAKE
Whose pockets and whose delivering?
Who’s got whose seamen stains?
Sex tapes and racist tirades
Oil deals in enemy states
News outlets will see it first hand
Altered footage and alternate facts
Information from Twitter and 8chan
Party lines drawn in the sand
Who do you trust?!
And what do you know?
He’s got you coming and going
WHAT A FAKE
WHAT A SNAKE
touts freedom and jail’s detractors
WHAT A FAKE
WHAT A SNAKE
Says he alone has answers
WHAT A SNAKE
WHAT A FAKE
Smiles as he fucks you over
Then acts like you’re to blame
Laughs while we fight each other
That’s how he wins again
There’s only one solution
Cut the head off the fuckin snake
Power junkies they think they own us
But power is a riot away
Tribalism destroys the nation
Must unite to get what’s owed
Facebook post won’t win your freedom
Neither will the two party hoax
Who do you trust?!
