Quotes:

Luke Martin: I have killed for my country, or whatever, and I don't feel good about it. Coz there's not enough reason, man, to feel a person die in your hands, or to see your best buddy get blown away.

Luke Martin: You know, I spend 95% of the time at the hospital thinking of making love with you.

Luke Martin: [being interviewed by a television news crew after chaining himself to a Marines Recruitment Facility] The reason why I'm here is because a buddy of mine who'd been in 'Nam took his own life today. This is kind of a funeral service. And I'm here because I'm trying to tell people, man, if we want to commit suicide, we have plenty of reasons to do it right here at home. We don't have to go to Vietnam to find reasons to kill ourselves. I just don't think we should be over there.

Marine Recruiter: The Marine Corps builds body, mind and spirit. Thank you.::High School Class Pres.: And now, with a different perspective, we have Luke Martin, combat veteran of the Marine Corps.::Luke Martin: Sergeant, do you mind if I ask you a question?::Marine Recruiter: No, sir.::Luke Martin: Just call me Sergeant. That's what I was. Where were you stationed?::Marine Recruiter: Danang.::Luke Martin: [Luke's speech is spliced with final scene of Capt. Bob Hyde where he is at the beach] You know, you want to be a part of it, patriotic, go out and get your licks in for the U.S. of A. And when you get over there, it's a totally different situation. I mean, you grow up real quick. Because all you're seeing is, um, a lot of death. And I know some of you guys are going to look at the uniformed man and you're going to remember all the films and you're going to think about the glory of other wars and think about some vague patriotic feeling and go off and fight this turkey too. And I'm telling you it ain't like it's in the movies. That's all I want to tell you, because I didn't have a choice. When I was your age, all I got was some guy standing up like that, man, giving me a lot of bullshit, man, which I caught. I was really in good shape then, man. I was captain of the football team. And I wanted to be a war hero, man, I wanted to go out and kill for my country. And now, I'm here to tell you that I have killed for my country or whatever. And I don't feel good about it. Because there's not enough reason, man, to feel a person die in your hands or to see your best buddy get blown away. I'm here to tell you, it's a lousy thing, man. I don't see any reason for it. And there's a lot of shit that I did over there that I find fucking hard to live with. And I don't want to see people like you, man, coming back and having to face the rest of your lives with that kind of shit. It's as simple as that. I don't feel sorry for myself. I'm a lot fucking smarter now than when I went. And I'm just telling you that there's a choice to be made here.

Capt. Bob Hyde: [Yelling at Sally after discovering her infidelity] What I'm saying is! I don't belong in this house, and they say I don't belong over there!

Everybody gets fucked up of saying ther's no way to live,
Working half our lives like dogs then try to have fun
I turn the TV off, don't watch the dreams that I can't afford,
And I take a look all around, see the old world falling down
I'm guess I'm happy, got everything I needed
Guess I got what I deserve, must've been born in the wrong place
I must be happy, that's what my mommy always told me but
Can somebody tell me why I've burned forty years in a single night
We're against the wall and everybody knows it
And all around the world it's all the same
There's people living and dying in the street
It 's you and me, can't you see
Now mom and dad, don't get me wrong,

I dug my fingers in the earth.
I drew you pictures of my pain.
They were so pretty.
They were so vain.
Put your hands in the water.
Let it touch you everywhere.
Boat of my father.
Cut from my mother.
Father.
I'm lonely.
I'm an only.
I learned to put on airs.
I needed them to breathe.
Today I wake up, tell myself this is me.
Now this is home.
But the property's on loan.
So much for letting go.
I'm picking up the phone.

You´re a sucker for a backstagepass No one gets in
until they´ve kissed your ass A 2 inch rider with
all to go If something´s missing there´ll be no
show

Pobehujem po luke,
pavuka mam na ruke.
Ci ten pavuk, ci ten vie,
kolko musiek vlastne zje.
Vcera zjedol jednu a dnes druhu,
zajtra zase tretiu, stvrtu.
Ci ten pavuk, ci ten vie,
kolko dni on prezije.
Ukaz co vies,
nech mas co chces.
Clovek bezi po luke,
pavuka ma na ruke.
Ci ten clovek ci ten vie,

i think it's time we got something straight
i'm tired of the radio blasting all the songs i hate
and i don't wanna have to listen to the same old station
when i'm working in the kitchen
i'm clocking out, going to the show
(hey geis, do you wanna go?)
"well, punk rock shows ain't for me,
i prefer downloads for free"
we recorded
we recorded this down in the basement
you downloaded
for free, cause that's how it's supposed to be
can't you see it's a revelation?
open music communication
cause some songs were meant to find you
i never liked what someone told me to
i never thought i'd eat my words
but lately, i've been getting off on shitty bands you've never heard
my friend sent the link to me
i downloaded their CD
and the best-slash-worst part is its free
"hate to say i told you so,
but the radio just blows"
we recorded
we recorded this down in the basement
you downloaded
for free, cause that's how it's supposed to be
can't you see it's a revelation
open music communication
cause some songs were meant to find you
i never liked what someone told me to
how many times must i say these words to you?
until you see what's the matter with an average point of view
just remember what I'm telling you...
find the music that suits you
cause TV isn't always true
the radio edit may not be best for you
we recorded
we recorded this down in the basement
you downloaded
for free, cause that's how it's supposed to be
can't you see it's a revelation?
open music communication

My halo slips over my eyes
My nice dress rips and I don't cry
What am I doing here
When I just want to wear
Oh PVC
(It's my favourite plastic)
(Cos its nice and shiny)
(and completely waterproof)
Start again
Start again
A lipstick stain on my new dress
The fabric's scarred and I'm distressed
I take my own advice
Get kitted out in nice
Oh PVC
(It's my favourite plastic)
(Cos its nice and shiny
(and completley waterproof)
Start again
Start again
You've never seen me quite this way
But you'll agree
I'm twice as nice this way
The moral of this little tale
Do what you like and you can't fail
To get in someones way
Oh PVC
(It's my favourite plastic
(Cos its nice and shiny)
(And completely waterproof)
Start again

She's the Queen of the sky.
She's the Queen of the sea.
And she holds out her arms.
And she seduces me.
Yeah she's a plastic Queen.
And she's always so clean.
When she pulled out the noose.
She said I could choose.
She's got green rubber shoes.
And a blue paper flower.
When she lifted her skirt.
She said I have the power.
Yeah she's a plastic Queen.
And she's always so clean.
When she pulled out the noose.
She said I could choose.
You'd better say you love me, or I'll kill us.
I'm just wasting time, looking thru' you.
Said I could choose.
Said I could choose.
Said I could choose.
Said I could choose.
Said I could choose.
Said I could choose.
Yeah she's a plastic Queen.
And she's always so clean.
When she pulled out the noose.
She said I could choose.
Yeah she's a plastic Queen.
And she's always so clean.
When she pulled out the noose.

Plasticine for people, surgery
I'm not aware that you're not there
Plasticine for people, surgery
I'm not aware that you're not there
I Get an even feeling when say I'm interactive
I should think it's bad defined, a better for the hoks
Any kind of consciousness can surely be neglected
A kindergarten infant wins, bother me the most
Tell me where my inner me is selfhurt from an overdone
Exposure, exposure, exposure
It's just because my inner you has me for you and double choose
And taller, and taller, and taller
Now I think it's time to get a ticket for the climax
Fully T.. and PVC's, wired to the bone
Let me be a minute, I was reasonably tired
Took me to the nearest place where I could be stoned
Tell me where my inner me is selfhurt from an overdone
Exposure, exposure, exposure
Just because my inner you has me for you and double choose
And taller, and taller, and taller
Plasticine for people, surgery
I'm not aware that you're not there
Plasticine for people, surgery
I'm not aware that you're not there
I get an even feeling when say I'm interactive
I should think it's bad defined, a better for the hoks
Any kind of consciousness can surely be neglected
A kindergarten infant wins, bother me the most

It dates back from the morning to the night
I don’t want these feelings
These feeling I can’t fight
I never said
That we’d be better off alone
Lights are off
So it seems like no one’s home
We’re having fun doing things they don’t condone
Like showing up with a bottle of wine
With candles lit the mood feels right
The things we do when we’re alone
The kitchen floor when no one’s home
So drop the ego and let her replace
That empty space in you
Cause I’m sleeping with my best friends girlfriend
Don’t leave me now because this isn’t the end
But they’re breaking it off again
Cause everyone want everything tonight
White lies but it matters all the same
Cause whose the victim if there’s no one there to blame
And I can’t sit still
She’s going out tonight and she’s dressed to kill
I’ll break it off
Cause I’ve had enough of this
I’m going to tell him on a need to know basis
He acted like he never knew
He said please say I need this too
Cause I’m sleeping with my best friends girlfriend
Don’t leave me now because this isn’t the end
But they’re breaking it off again
Cause everyone want everything tonight
And I’m sleeping with my best friends girlfriend
Well he knows but we’ll still pretend
That all the time that we’re taking up
Is not breaking up
The feelings we don’t share
She wants out
And I can’t display my feelings

Still hate,
Heinously, I've suffered in existence,
tortured of conformity, spawned from progression,
Ominous vile in rapture to the horde
of miscreation and blank eternal sacrifice.
Open up the gates, release the fuckin plague
Abomination, impure and exiled.
Nobody will comprehend.
The forces divine and condemned.
Refuse to comprehend.
Fight threw the fuckin hate, with no mercy
Pulled by all the hate, You'll be left for dead.
Win the battle and terminate today,
disgusted with all the weak.
Banishment of all the futile and
of all the godless truths,
Terminal illness amongst
the fleet of disgusted guilt.
Disguised in purity erect of malicious states,
Termination directed against the weak.
Turn the tables, blessed in sickness.
I want you dead, burning,
A disease for wasting,
I want to be.
Always never you said, termination fed the grinder,
Just the wasting, nothing you say
Termination still grinding,
Always nothing you say,
Nothing else you say,
Resurrect something instead to kill all thats left.
Embracement of the trinity and of degraded souls,
Everlasting horizons, of the dark,
This is the time when nothings safe,
Don't try and stop me now,
Nothing's safe,
Don't try and stop me.
