i'll never tell my parents
i would die of shame
i cannot disappoint them
sully the family name
so i must seek a solution

Lower your weapon
And I'll lower mine
A standoff no tradeoff
A payoff in kind
My only mission
Is undoing you
And I'm doing nothing
That you wouldn't do
Zero in zero in
You match my caliber
Locked in deadly combat
You are tangled in my crosshair
Zero in zero in
You match my caliber
I await return fire
Survery the wreckage
Take heed of the toll
Delay the salvage
Proceed to reload
I'm automatic
I'm pointed at you
And you are a pigeon
From this altitude
I'm standing right here
I'll take you on
Hey you down there
I'll take you down
I'll stay right here
You stay right there
'Til we're out of rounds
Got an animated corpse at my beck and call
You will find my skin cells underneath his fingernails
Carpet fibers from my car covering his coat
And clinging to his follicles
Every day we meet plot fourteen
And he hops in the front in the seat next to me
He can't wait till I tell him what I need
Then he nod a rotting head and then I set him free
Oh you should see him in this revelry tonight
He'll spread a pestilence across the land
Oh you should see him yea
He's looking hella fine
His eyeholes cannot cry
Oh he's my...
Animated corpse rapping at the back
Clawing at the window peeking in on tiptoe
Eager to deliver and it makes me laugh
So I make him wait it'll make a funny anecdote
Every night at ten he shows up again
Hiding 'em behind his back I pick a bony hand
I pat him on the head and I kiss him on the cheek
Then I pack him in the trunk back to plot fourteen
Oh you should see him in his revelry tonight
He'll spread a pestilence across the land
Oh you should see him yeah
He's looking hella fine
Oh he's a filthy slime
(Oh he's attracting flies)
And he's mine

just'a good ol' boys
never meanin' no harm
beats all you never saw
been in trouble with the law
since the day they was born
straightnin' the curves
flatnin' the hills
someday the mountain might get 'em
but the law never will
makin' their way
the only way they know how
tht's just a little bit more
than the law will allow
I'm a good ol' boy
you know my momma loves me
but she don't understand
they keep a showin my hands and not my face on tv
There but for the grace of god go I
Grew up on the same block I wonder why
Why you were the one to take a dive
And I got to go on with my life
The hand of fate is random I'm alive
Ain't no reason or no rhyme
We are practically the same
I sing your requiem
I lose another friend
But I remain to receive your wake up call
Pontiac I love you and I miss you
It's easier to love you now that you're gone
Now I know the things I should've said to you
Now you're gone
Sure beats me why we didn't die
The time we brewed that cocktail "death surprise"
Mixed in all the pills your mama had
And washed it all down with my daddy's gin
The hand of fate is random I'm alive
Ain't no reason or no rhyme
We are practically the same
I sing your requiem
I lose another friend
But I remain to receive your wake up call
Pontiac I love you and I miss you
It's easier to miss you now that you're gone
Now I know the things I should've said to you
Now you're gone
Now you're gone

You are an affectation
Of every passing fad
Your butane smile's indelible
Your talk is thoughtless gas
You live like a Coke machine
Convince me of your strife
Tasty tyke of augmentation
You'll pay with your life
Your youth is everything
Your cock is all
Your body makes bank
And your mind is small
Your youth is everything
Your tits stand tall
Your body makes bank
And you mind is dull
Your needle eyes and hands
Of slate regard a stiff repose
Contemplate your mindless fate
While powdering your nose
Loathing all that you can't fathom
Cuckhold by your pride
Endorsing a madman's vision
Marketed worldwide Resting on your sculpted shoulders
All the weight of fame
Statuesque emanciptation
Is the mode of day
Packaging rebellion
In a palatable box
Wash away the meaning as
You wash away your frosted locks
Yes, we made you what you are
We buy the clothes and scent you wear
We buy the shit that shapes your hair
We'd buy your hipness anywhere
But time will surely vanquish you
And we'll no longer worship you!
Annie exhibited incredible abilities
At a very tender age
Her mother's edict "It's a liability and
you must do as I say"
Annie was curious
Annie was sensuous
And she had an imagination
But under Victoria they called that dementia and
So they locked her... locked her away
She rustles down the hallway buttons corset bustle binding
They bound her to the bedposts and they shut her up with ether
She rustles down the hallway buttons corset bustle binding
She'll haunt this house forever her laughter's a reminder
Annie was taken out to the outskirts of town
Said "You are hysterical"
Her doctor's orders "Tie her up and calm her down,
Oh you know she isn't too well"
My dear you're delirious
My dear you're lascivious
And now we will commence to treat you
Laudanum sedating you
Bromide placating you
So they drugged her locked her away
I did not get out of the treaches unscathed this lingering damage ill
take to my grave Like nerve gas poison and agent orange the wages
of high risk are part of my story
what kind of madness took ahold of me to shoot anothers blood
into my willing vein no i could never do that voluntarily i heard a
demon tell me to and i obeyed but
i dont take the orders from the war room anymore this one
recruit who surrenders I dont take orders from the war room anymore
now i am my own defender
i keep recieving a distorted command and if i hadnt given up id

mission set against the wrong so

i may have turned yellow but did not betray my old friend's still
batlling out in the fray am i lillilivered now im a beginner im damned all

Im preparing to vamoose
Beefing up the list of shit to lose
I've got words i'm not afraid to lose
As I keep growing old
I can see the value of the words
that they once sang to me,
But only now it doesn't seem that
the lyrics mean that much to them anymore,
Is there anyway I could ever have known?
I know it's foolish to worship what my heroes say,
Then I'm a fool,
I only have myself to blame,
I feel so stupid about all the time I spent,
Trying to figure out exactly what they meant
I understand they can't spend their whole lives
rehashing old feelings from ten years ago,
Not valid anymore,
But to me those lyrics add meaning to my little life,

One laydown machine
Burned a road
Right through the prairie
Stream of boiling ash
Painted up with perfect lines
Discount labor packing
Each lane
Bargain basement homes
Sewn to the road
Slipshod directions
Do not explain
I got these shoes for nothing
And they have lasted me forever
Searching up and down the lost highway
I can read the grid
I have memorized the key
Counting every inch
From C-4 to J-3
I can think in scale
'Cause I know it ain't
On my map
Scraping off the typeset
Dig into the atlas
Well they can paint it up
Make it appear to go somewhere
Well they can paint it up
But I know where it doesn't lead
Well she sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina
she's a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize
she'll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China
tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
steal their Seoul in South Korea make Antarctica cry Uncle
from the Red Sea to Greenland they'll be singing the blues
well they never Arkansas her steal the Mekong from the jungle
tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
she go fromm Nashville to Norway Bonaire to Zimbabwe
Chicago to Czechoslovakia and back
well she'll ransack Pakistan and run a scam in Scandinavia
then she'll stick 'em up Down Under and go pick-pocket Perth
she put the miss in misdemeanor when she stole the beans from Lima
tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
oh tell me where in the world is...
oh tell me where can she be?
oooh Botswana to Thailand Milan via Amsterdam
Mali to bali Ohio Oahu...!
well she glides around the globe and she'll flimflam every nation
she's double-dealing diva with a taste for thievery
her itinerary's loaded up with moving violations
tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
here's the church and here's the steeple
open the doors and see all the people
people screaming i have sinned
oh dear lord help me win
the riches that are owe to me
and a high place in society
give me strength lord i am weak
i need sexual release
here i am your faithful servant grant me one request
oh need inside information how should i invest
and there all just spinning on there own little shelves
and there all just bitching at the world
and they all just happen to there own little pots
saluting when the flag unfurls
tell me one more time
your flawless philosophy
well, i forgot to take notes
help me i'm a heathen
ignorant of idolatry
and you're so pious you should know
here's the bank and here's the teller
open her legs to any feller
say your prayers down on your knees
mother mary fantasy
here's the host and here's the server
body blood oh hello broker
tell me what i want to know
to enrich my needy soul
see me lord your humble subject
saying penance now
when id really like to check the nazdac and the dao
and there all just spinning on there own little shelves
and there all just bitching at the world
and they all just happen to there own little pots
saluting when the flag unfurls
tell me one more time
your flawless philosophy
well, i forgot to take notes
help me i'm a heathen
ignorant of idolatry
and you're so pious you should know
tell me one more time
your flawless philosophy
well, i forgot to take notes
help me i'm a heathen
ignorant of idolatry
and you're so pious you should know
I'm not going anywhere; I have way too much to lose
Even though I'm killing myself,
It's no indication I won't come through
Don't go making plans to fill my absence
Even though I've been gone too long
I can stamp my foot and split in two
But I'll be whole before the dawn.
Say I've been to hell and back
Well you got it wrong, I never did return
Lay my head on the chopping block and
I'll hand you the hatchet.
Strewn again from limb to limb
A slap and a tickle and a hand in the till
Between extremes is mighty grim
I'll be free in a minute of my free will
Two on a bed gone round the bed
I laugh and writhe the more I try
My mind fell apart for you to mend
I sing to you and you reply.
Say I've been to hell and back
Well you got it wrong, I never did return
Lay my head on the chopping block and
I'll hand you the hatchet.
Soon as my head hit the pillow
He took it as his cue to shake me back awake
Could have killed him bout a couple of times
By laying in wait and tearing down the drapes
If I stomp hard enough
He'll slip in the soap and
I'll wave good-bye as he's circling the drain.
I'm not going anywhere, I have way too much to lose
Even though I'm killing myself,
It's no indication I won't come through
Don't go making plans to fill my absence
Even though I've been gone too long
I could stamp my foot and split in two
But I'll be whole before the dawn.
