Prey to your god,
So sinister, yet so commonplace... Subconscious network
The Erie light you worship so readily
Peer in your eyes, in your mind.
Used you as your own enemy...
Fixate on its gloried role.
Profiled and led away, from the truth, like many fools
Some hope of a way to brake its glare
Masses steered by fabricated thoughts, societies wet dream and its goals,
Societies wet dream,
A long forgotten past,
Replaced by what is "now",
Reeling out of control, growing,
This is the age of make believe
Or a reality series
Television, murder city
Dreaming of tomorrow
Am I alive or fantasy?
Give me murder give me loss
The the cities into dust,man
My brain is melting and it smells like a valcano
Japanimation surgery
Drinking nuclear energy
Resevoir is spewing toxic
Shout!
There's no tomorrow
Drinking nuclear energy
Give me murder give me loss
Turn the cities into dust,man
My brain is melting
And it smells like a volcano
Give me murder give me loss
Transistors
Not quite a fembot
But almost an alien
She's in the smell of the month club
I feel it in my lungs
Lesbian junkie funky
Slam dunk a cosmonaut
Laser guns and having fun
Biological parking lot
All systems down
So titty-twist a mad scientist
Oh is this the toxic ride
Wrap me up in a plastic bag
And hang me out to dry
Artificial respiration
I need my medication
Load me up and light a match
All systems down and out
It's down and out
All systems down
So titty-twist a mad scientist
Oh is this the toxic ride
Wrap me up in a plastic bag
And hang me out to dry
Lesbian junkie funky
Slam dunk a cosmonaut
Laser guns and having fun

Hey this is Brandon but my friends call me Spike now.
I just moved out of my parents' house in Danville
to this wicked warehouse in Oakland.
Anyway I spent most of the day spare-changing on the avenue.
I started out infront of the Med
but everyone kept saying I looked too young and healthy
so I went up the street to the Gap where all the
yuppie college kids shop
I was there until about 5:30 or 6 ..
I scored about 10 bucks
so me and my girlfriend, you met her, she's from La Jolla
anyway, we got some money from her parents
so we're gonna stop by because
I need a fix! (x5)
What's that?
Now's not a good time?
What do you mean there's none left?
Well what the fuck dude?
If I would have known that I would have gone to Concord.
What do you mean go back to Concord then?
Dude you don't even know who you're talking to.
Don't make me get all blackhawk on your ass.
wait man I didn't mean that.
C'mon dude, please?
Alright man.
wait wait wait wait
Do you know anyone that's got any?
Do you.. do you got a number?
What do you mean you won't give it to me?
I didn't call for a shitty conversation,
I called because
I need a fix! (x5)
Man I got it rough
when drinking cough syrup
just ain't enough
On and on
I'm a teenage rebel
I'm fucking bored
Mom, this is Spi- I mean Brandon.
I got kicked out of my place in Oakland.
I don't really have any place to go so
I was just wondering if I could stay with you or Grandma, or
something?
Oh, I don't know.
My girlfriend dumped me she moved back to La Jolla, it's kind of a
drag.
I guess she's gonna go back to school or something.
Anyway call me back.
Oh,wa- wa- one more thing Mom,
I was wondering if I could borrow $200 because
I need a fix! (x5)

Projecting you into a star
Skin so pale and eyes so black
Are you ever coming back?
And do you feel
Feel alive

Turning night into art
Decorum might get to you
Projecting you into a God
And do you feel

I'm taking a ride to the liquor store
I'm looking for a beer and a little bit more
I'm gonna spend all the money she had
On a nude girl in a dirty old magazine
50 cents cheaper than the real thing
Even though it may be a little bit disgusting
Can't call a bitch and it ain't got no drama
It's called a new sensation
Called 'The Right Hand-A-Rama'
I don't know why, I don't know why
It sure feels good most every time
I don't know why, I don't know why
It sure feels good most every time
Alright
Pamela and her five sisters
Are giving me a bad case of nasty blisters
A third degree burn going straight to my head
I guess my pipes are a little bit rusted
Close encounters of the strangest kind
I got the heebee jeebes for the hundredth time
It didn't work out the way it was planned
All I got now is a beer in my hand
I don't know why, I don't know why
It sure feels good most every time
I don't know why, I don't know why
It sure feels good most every time
I'll tell you why

Send them in, another dozen dead walking men.
Hell-bent suppliers of the dead meat dividers.
With old man betrayers of the endgame faith buyers.
No more holy kiss - missile launch fillers.
With heaven's breadwinners cutting everyman killers.
Give the networks something fresh to say, while their
children pray safe on shore toasting to old blood.
Give the networks something fresh to say, while their
children pray safe on shore toasting to old blood.
Send them in!!! This day will never end.
Families eyes will never dry.
But broken statues stand so clear.
May the gods watch over them, cause men will only watch
over gold.
Right and wrong are just suggestions anyway.
Each and every laugh will just draw tears.
Each and every, each and every laugh will just draw
tears.

I can't take you anywhere.
I can't take you anywhere.
You are so beautiful.
My eyes bleed hopeless tears that show my concern that
this nightmare is your identity.
It's universal down on this planet we won't ever leave
Did you know I really hate to say this, but you and I
I never thought we'd make it
This galaxy it spins in motion motionless to me
Did you know I really hate to say this, but you and I
I never thought we'd make it
Just sky let the sky fold and fall into quiet sleep
Just let the sky take hold of us
We're so close but you're shaking far too much
Just let the sky take hold of us
We're so close but you're shaking far too much
Just let the sky take hold of us
We're so close but you're shaking far too much
Just let the sky take hold of us
We're so close but you're shaking far too much
You're shaking far too much
And it's gone
Yes, it's over
And the moment again passed us by
As the sun it takes over one more night that we live and let die
So long farewell I'll take it as a compliment and I'll hope to break it
I know you're really suffering, but that's the way I had to make it
So long farewell I'll take it as a compliment and I'll promise to break it
I know you're really suffering, but that's the way I had to make it
So long farewell I'll take it as it comes
I'll take it as it comes
And that's the way I hope to take it
Just let her die one more time
Let her die one more time
Turn it up one more time
Well then if that's the case just turn around just turn around
I cannot handle this I'll drown it out I'll drown it out
And for the sake of us just kill the sound just kill the sound
Why I have to you
Well then if that's the case just turn around just turn around
I cannot handle this I'll drown it out I'll drown it out
And for the sake of us just kill the sound just kill the sound
Why I have to
I'm not gonna try to be catchy or cliche
Or write about what I haven't actually encountered in my life
I just wanna know what the fuck I'm singing about
And honestly, isn't everyone sick of people who think TV is reality?
Because sometimes I feel like I'm living in a never ending episode of Dawson's Creek
"But oh, Scott, the kids deal with real life issues!"
Fuck that!
The truth is, we're just a bunch of 20 year old kids who really like music
We play what we like and feel sorry for those to serene, who think we are ruining music
The death cab is waiting outside
Music isn't a competition, its a compilation of ideas
One bands success surely does not mean ones failure
Fighting should be left for those with bombs big enough to end it
And the last time I checked, I never wrote a bomb
Or have I?
Just ignore those around you
So sit outside your petty bullshit
Just be cool!
Cause some day this will all be over and you will be alone
And being alone doesn't look that cool.
The End!

[Damage] the innocent
You talk like you know everything
You think you know what we're about
So tell me why do you
Continue to spread gossip
When you know you have no clue
You abuse the right
To speak your mind
Wish you'd give up
Wasting my time
You tried your best
We proved you wrong
Came out on top
Now look who's strong
