Play house, put my favorite record on
Get down, get your Crystal Method on
You were like, tall, tan, drivin' 'round the city
Flirtin' with the girls like, "You're so pretty."
"Springsteen is the king, don't you think?"
I was like, "Hell yeah, that guy can sing."
Like ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-oh
You make me crazy, you make me wild
Just like a baby, spin me 'round like a child
Your skin so golden brown
Be young, be dope, be proud
Like an American
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh
Like an American
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh
Drive fast, I can almost taste it now
L.A., I don't even have to fake it now
You were like so sick, everybody said it
You were way ahead of the trend, ge-get it
Elvis is the best, hell yes
Honey, put on that party dress
Like ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-oh
You make me crazy, you make me wild
Just like a baby, spin me 'round like a child
Your skin so golden brown
Be young, be dope, be proud
Like an American
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh
Like an American
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh
Everybody wants to go fast
But they can't compare
I don't really want the rest
Only you can take me there
I don't even know what I'm saying,
But I'm praying for you.
You make me crazy, you make me wild
Just like a baby, spin me 'round like a child
Your skin so golden brown
Be young, be dope, be proud
Like an American
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh
Like an American
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh
Like an American
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ooh ooh-ooh
Like an American

That's right
Ridicule my own
So precious alone
These faces of everyone
Remind me of home
You're plotting riddled sin
All my needs giving in
Blow me a kiss and leave me to the dogs
So, you think you got it
You think you know me
You wanna bring me down
I am in my finest hour
Ridicule my own
So precious alone
These faces of everyone
Remind me of home
You're watching me dying
How am I looking?
Why don't you take a picture
You're plotting riddled sin
All my needs giving in
Blow me a kiss
And leave me to the dogs
My fear, traps me waiting for it
My past is glowing red and yellow, again
Run, back where you came from
Not that it matters
I'll never see you again
My fists strain to sift mercy
Ridicule my own
So precious alone
These faces of everyone
Remind me of home
You're plotting riddled sin
All my needs giving in
Blow me a kiss and leave me to the dogs
My fear, traps me waiting for it
My past is glowing red and yellow, again
My fate will show me where to follow
Your mom didn't tell you
You'd have nothing to say
Shut the fuck up bitch
In a poisoned state
While the rapist behind you
Is whispering your name
My lies foreshadow me
They make a scab of me
I can't crawl through this
You can't shut me up
You can't shut me up
Make it rough
What
Difficulty breathing makes you drip
Swallowing on first dates entertains
I scream mistakenly
I'm trying to make you see
What makes him resent you
That's right I lie
Solid filth til I die
But it makes me smile
Lord of the elite
Is prince of the cowards
Try not to choke on it
You can't shut me up
You can't shut me up
Make it rough
What
Difficulty breathing makes you drip
Swallowing on first dates entertains
Misogynist attracted to you
Wallowing in pity's comfortable
What
Get up
Money is hate
So love me now
While I'm still unimportant enough to be
I will prove myself
And absence a shadow
I will never be what you don't deserve
Cause it's better to walk away
It's better to walk away
It's better to walk away
It's better
Follow me and you'll find
Your reflection is not even close to yours' anymore
Images patterned on dreams on your secrets
Poisoning connections as you slide away from gone
Cause it's better to walk away
It's better to walk away
It's better to walk away
It's better to walk away
From you
We're dirty and hungry and bitter and tired and broke and
bruised and battered so happy
I've been here way too long
Money is hate
So love me now
While I'm still unimportant enough to be
I will prove myself
And absence a shadow
I will never be what you don't deserve
Cause it's better to walk away
It's better to walk away
It's better to walk away
It's better
We're just the braces amidst
These selfish trials and fits
Not so safe or scared or dumb is the rest
Our unravelling has just
Enough of it here to be
Drown propped up and watching
You stare at us pull you down
You read the news
You take the vows
You blame the costs
We play the chords
Now the only course
That traces an end
To the violence
Has left us without any
Chance to stand our ground
... Stand up and ...
March
Get back in line and
Fight
The time to start is
Now
Don't let yourself play the
Fool
There's no way out
Placatingly wound we search
Without purpose the game ends
Promise me today
So tomorrow's a new surprise
All these sores lingering
Shutdown and loving it
The greedy hands will lie
But we stand ready to strike
Yours' is the blood
Theirs' the first
The speed the greed
The machines and the paper dolls
We didn't want this
We didn't need this
We couldn't see it coming
But we're to blame for it
... Stand up and ...
March
Get back in line and
Fight
The time to start is
Now
Don't let yourself play the
Fool
There's no way out
Watch us coming
While you drop away
Bow your fucking heads
And pray for us
Cause it's my time
And it's our side
You can't stop us any longer
Bow your head
Pray for us
It's our time
It's our side
It's just a reason to deny
All the limits that border
On the thiniest frailties
that makes a sudden change
I'll play my soul into sleep
I'll make up words that I keep
Letting nothing go to anyone at all
Where is your loyalty now
When all the cards have been left on the table?
Where is your loyalty now
When all the cards have been left on the table?
All of them
Bleed at the nerves
That take so long
To wear down
I'll play my soul into sleep
I'll make up words that I keep
Letting nothing go to anyone at all
Where is your loyalty now
When all the cards have been left on the table?
Where is your loyalty now
When all the cards have been left on the table?
This time I have made enough mistakes
For you to bear against me
Endure and break
Our original ideals
That let us down
And betrayed our trust
Like all your promises
I've seen the piece of shit alive in you
Cause I'm there enough to be a truth
This time I have made enough mistakes
For you to bear against me
Endure and break
Our original ideals
That let us down
And betrayed our trust
Like all your promises
Where is your loyalty now
When all the cards have been left on the table?
Where is your loyalty now
When all the cards have been left on the table?
You
Always get exactly what you want
You
This is only my life that you taunt
Always giving me enough to keep me quiet
Only giving me enough to keep me at bay
Why don't you leave me alone?
I don't need you
This
Is the very thing that I disgust
Promise me again
And I hope your jaw fucking rusts
I did what you wanted didn't I?
So, shut up Shut up Shut up Shut up
Why don't you leave me alone?
Always on the verge of something
Almost about to leave it all
I don't need you
Open your blessed wings
And wrap them around all your things
Keep yourself in the company of kings
Cause it's their hands' that bleed from the strings
No more
I want to be
Somewhere far from here
I'm watching you
As you wave goodbye
I won't take
I won't weigh you down
Following suit
So just count me out
I can't get it out
Can't put it together
I should have known better
Than to turn into this
I can't believe
I've become removed
Tighten the line
And pull up hello
I will change
I won't weigh me down
Carving this space
Never count me out
I can't get it out
Can't put it together
I should have known better
Than to turn into this
Fiend
I say
Everything's how it ought to be
I say
Nothing should ever change
I say
I only know how I used to be
I say
I don't want a fucking thing to do with it
Fiend
Stalking the currency shifts
As cause becomes
Embedded codes digital mistakes
So all the rest can
Choke for need and strain to bleed
The hunger I fix a taste for the feeding
This panic perpetuating poison upon us
As it plagues me into
Running the gamut again
Surprise you're wrong
I'm not the defects for ones
You left out
Erratic an addict
Is leading my fall
Back to the faces
My weaknesses live
Shots down and riding the bomb
Routine submissive disease
Just let me rot
Done with all these innocent thieves
While all us weak ones
Choke for need and strain to bleed
The hunger I fix a taste for the feeding
This panic perpetuating poison upon us
As it plagues me into
Running the gamut again
Surprise you're wrong
I'm not the defects for ones
You left out
Erratic an addict
Is leading my fall
Back to the faces
My weaknesses live
Shots down and riding the bomb
It's been after me
In this place
A pleasant threat perfect void
Stuck in modality
With all this damage beyond repair
When all our time fades away
Just like everything else
That proves that we are
Dirt
Stay
Now just in case
Selfish trials
Keeps stopping to
Drag me down
I'm losing bliss
As if all your hands
Could keep me clean
When all our time fades away
Just like everything else
That proves that we are
Dirt
I can't see where I've gone wrong
All our times fade away
That proves that we are
Dirt
If all our times fades away
It's proof we're dirt
walk with an impure mind
revelations unkind
abject dental of the flesh I feel
endure and make my mind
its never time to start
believing everything will all work out
bloody knuckles
empty cavity
swift disposal
empty cavity
weve blinded ourselves sick
to create room for it
never arriving when its needed most
anticipation burns
unquenchable we learn
left holding nothing but the will to live
bloody knuckles
empty cavity
swift disposal
empty cavity
why? [4x]
negative takes its toll
constant release and hold
beware the trust that you
instill in me
beware the trust that you [2x]
beware the trust I instill in me
bloody knuckles
empty cavity
swift disposal
empty cavity
choke it up
choke it back
choke it down
choke it away
This is the way to find my harlequins face
To my junkie dead body
Still covered in lace
The flesh still warm where skin had once been my lips
My smile just scattered fragments lining the ditch
You like to watch when I bleed
(like a coward)
I've got some right here for you
I push you down on your knees
(such a good whore)
I make your dreams come true
At 60 miles an hour on course and pace in hybrid mental states
So my pathetic limp kiss has never caught this way
No catalyst begins across the face of those who end
Leaving its scar too deep for all of your attempts to mend
Come on cowards
Come on you whores
I've got no choice but this if
I can't get rid of it
You'll never be any match
For what I can do to myself
I'm still stuck here breaking it backwards apart
Watching all the raindrops cover up before we can start (
like a coward)
Without a doubt that all will be washed away
There's still no proof to see if I will someday
You like to watch when I bleed
(like a coward)
I've got some right here for you
I push you down on your knees
(such a good whore)
I make your dreams come true
I've got no choice but this if
I can't get rid of it
You'll never be any match
For what I can do to myself
Come on cowards/come on you whores
Decide everything for me
Subject yourself to it
Make believe it's only your fault
Stifle my own
Ambition
It's been so long since I failed
Nothing alienates this
Anything reminds me
Relieving it only helps
Suffer to make your own gains
It's been so long since I failed
And now my senses fail me
And still my training fails me
And now everything fails me
And still everyone fails me
And still the only thing I have fails me
The crowd did move
Was it live
The course it took
Was it right
The crown I wore
Was it mine
The lips that lie
Is it true
The lace that tears
Is it skin
The line that binds
Is it real
The face that smiles
Is it yours
The fall that kills
Is it dead
To control the mannequin
Your wrists will shake
Without circulation
Your face will twitch
Do you feel
Better than me
Do you taste
Better than me
The prey that hunts
Was it found
The people die
Is it right
The place is lost
Will it turn
The guilt that hurts
Will it change
The guess that shames
Will it smile
The game that plays
Does it hurt
The fail that's right
Does it taste
The fuck that hates
Do you care
Did you get
What you wanted
To taste acid
To taste guilt
To taste shame
To taste hate
To taste death
To taste black
To taste acid
To taste red
To taste hell
To taste me
For you to swell
To taste god
To taste acid
Beautiful disease
Trying to stop those fleas
Resist complacences
For what you seize
Sinister laughing in back corners of my mind
Provides my sustinence
A no handed attempt
A rude man at the front
The right bowed to but dead
Accomplished undertone
Shoveling to the def
Out of your other lips
But making me happy
Three in the front room
Are fucking on top of my bed
Uplifting opening
Old scars thought of as healed
Say your prayers for your hate
A nympho to yourself
And now my face it breathes my lies
And my lies, they make me drown
an overwhelming understanding
of chaos brings you to your knees
impurities make me the way that I am
the dirt in my veins
the games on my thoughts
the stains on your face
they break it apart
motherfucking
pushing the envelope
life sets me off
pushing the envelope
hate gets me off
motherfucking
pushing the envelope
gets me off
pushing the envelope
your face it sets me off
Im curled up inside myself so
I wont imagine the pictures
If I had prosthetic eyes I still
think that Id see the same
satisfy retribution inside
subsequent afternoons turning out seared
bothered by fallacies everyones scared
motherfucking
pushing the envelope
life sets me off
pushing the envelope
hate gets me off
motherfucking
pushing the envelope
gets me off
pushing the envelope
your face it sets me off [2x]
killing myself like a tool in wrong
disquieting changes in direction
just keep on pushing
motherfucker
Ive seen it turn from white to red
Ive heard you talk about how
you bleed and it doesnt mean shit
until I see some action a hint of
rose and a mountain of garbage
leaves me for dead and nothing drags me from
breaking myself
breaking myself to try to keep everyone
from walking over me
smell the burning wreckage of even you
all of your perfection lets get inside
the bag turn it 180 degrees
forget we even met cause it all comes
down to this the good ones always
leave in the end
breaking myself
breaking myself to try to keep everyone
from walking over me
I see the world and it all looks blue
I kiss the world and it all tastes true
The blurry eyes make me appealing
In a normal fashion another 2 or 3
you will become very friendly
your liquidation is a siren song
you swim I follow Im feeling my head sink
so as to reach and touch what hurts me
still I try to reach and touch what hurts me
Play your games with my limp joints
Idolize it's wet paper skin
Listen to the cast preach your life
And infest you with disease
Dress me up with a three piece tourniquet
Fuck and get under the scabs
Never trust what you cannot kill
And pretend that she respects you
Pursuit of liberty
Drags you all across this country
This cunt bleeding
Delivered me
The cord it stretches
Taught and only so far
Before it snaps back
Giving us relief
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
Before you fall down
And hurt yourself
Far from home
With no one's help
We will be waiting
But his eyes can't see the madness
So she can keep the rule
Formulate what will be that thing that makes me laugh
Your next manipulation
Of the all too friendless
Always seen and never noticed
Dipping my feet in pools of you
FUCK YOU
Make my face only how you like it
Why can't you smell it hide
Wreck her pussy with your fist
She'll be your minister
Violate my stiff limp body
Only to taste my glass bloodline
Shove it all behind my back
Cauterize my open wound
I never needed to leave
To find out what makes me tick
I arrived by default
My arms three grand long
But not elastic enough
To care for insects
Just beyond my reach
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
Before I pick you up
And dust you off
Kiss the eyes
That make me rough
I will be waiting
I walked beside myself
But nothing ever changed
And now I walk away
So you can take the blame
Clinical distortion
Affects the bachelor
I still can't find
No sense of self
To balance it off
Preconceived notions of something
Everyones gone
Will I show up
With all that I have to give
Would you consider it a gift
But that
Doesnt matter anyway
Liar youre such a
On your hands and knees
Picking up the broken pieces
Liar youre such a
On your hands and knees
Afraid to turn my head
For fear of whats behind me
Only one resource left
So don't fret on my surprise
Is this all you have
Is that all you know
I swear I've seen you before
But that
Doesnt matter anyway
Liar youre such a
On your hands and knees
Picking up the broken pieces
Liar youre such a
On your hands and knees
Pleasingly
Falling apart
Pleasingly
Oblivious
Youve left with more of the same
I cant win
Liar
I step with two hands open
And kick the man in front of me
Reminded of my father
When will you ever learn
I found you urinating
You found me interesting
Torn raw and feeling sickness
Permit my hypocrisy
Feel the thick curtain
While she sleeps
The stench of my breath pains you
But your just smelling yourself
My plate shows something rotten
I feel so right at home
Dress me in mothers clothing
To teach me how to fuck myself
Fracture my arm like you know
The abuse makes it feel right
Feel the thick curtain
While she sleeps
I'm chewing my tongue
It makes it so numb
My lower coverings
House many children
So many piercings
I can't stop bleeding
Trails are all I see
Can't help being me
I am so cool
So fucking different
I am so cool
So fucking different
We're all the same
So very different
So fucked up we drool
It's all the same
So many tweakings
I can't stop peaking
My fucking parents
After school meetings
I've got not future
Won't even try
I'm failing at life
Get high and then I die
Hey I want your skin to get me off
You make it sound so fucking pure
I'll bring you down and make you scream
Take in what you once thought was hate
And now I want to make it right
And you can't take that away from me
Strive to make you cower like a pig
Sit and squirm in your own stink
You have been the sickest of them all
Gone back to the way it never worked
Did you want me to mistreat you
Did you want me to pretend
I know this much
I cant stand me
when I become him
I know this much
I dont feel free
when Im repentant
tell him this much
you dont want him
due to extra skin
tell him this much
you forsake him
due to pretension
now we have everything we need
to come up to where youre pristine
we believe
tell him this much
you cant withstand
taking it upright
tell him this much
you felt dirty
because it was tight
I know this much
that old feeling
Im done hanging on
I know this much
stop pretending
what was had is gone
now we have everything we need
to come up to where you are seen
we believe
follow me now and I will drown you
fill you full of reason
no windows Ill take you
to the dirty place that I love
slipping on messes
you made when I hit you
makes me more exicitable
Ill never get caught [2x]
pull it tight Ill see right through it
Ill never get caught
cradle the difference in front of your fist
force it down to bring it back up
make them listen one more time
wrapping you up in an american flag
I fuck you for the glory
no complaints from my friends
they keep their fucking mouths shut
I couldnt care less
about the way that you see me
soothing I will never be
Ill always get shit [2x]
for acknowledging pervisity
Ill never get caught
cradle the difference in front of your fist
force it down to bring it back up
make them listen one more time
never get caught
pathetic sympathies
left for the bloody at heart
everything fades to shit
evertyhing tears me apart
caustic insecurities
surface above the witheld
every time I need
everything I want
aesthetic disguises
underlying doubts
my direction dies
everythings right up in your face
everythings right up in front
push me against the wall
but still you cant make me
fall
you cant make me
fall
seperate your mouth
scrape away
prosthetic misery
idiosyncratic
pushing me to never
hold my breath
everythings right up in your face
everythings right up in front
push me against the wall
but still you cant make me
fall
you cant make me
fall
seperate your mouth
scrape away
I dont like you at all!
the trait that is still
left on the killing floor for you
that smile as he still
itches for killing more of you
the taste as he still
catches me lasting to it
the recoil they still
dream of that lasting spit
are you
shutdown in it
shut my eyes only once
brought me back up for nothing
yet it always seems like
I live in the shit
I make it bleed
I wont ever quit
I cause the need
lying in my bed
telling me your scared
of me when Im god
of me when Im dead
the temptation still
passses me lying for it only
false reminders still
drown myself trying for it only
reaching upwards still
squashes me under it
its only god still
seizing my final breath
are you
shutdown in it
shut my eyes only once
brought me back up for nothing
yet it always seems like
Im drawn into it
I cant belong
such a perfect fit
I wont be wrong
holding on in vein
telling me your scared
of me when Im god
of me when Im dead
I live in the shit
I make it bleed
I wont ever quit
I cause the need
lying in my bed
telling me your scared
of me when Im god
of me when Im dead
love me when Im god
love me when Im dead
dead
I dont want to be shutdown
stink filled spasms
deep in a colostomy bag
I like being trapped inside
the plastics wearing out
red and perfect her legs
spread out in front of me
theyre so open they make me sweat
its my lubrication
recent findings say
circumcise the abstinent
make it hard for them to breathe
I like to make you lie
dropped and so ill
steeped in my mysogeny
my shaking hands are in the skin
Ive gone too far too soon
you look so seamless now
she stared at me
thinking I was sweet to it
her legs tied apart for me
it feels so good inside
now Im thinking
whos this that lies under me
needs a piece of my respect
you make me so sick Im
crawling broken my face is
cringing to see
figures drawn inside of me
succumb [3x]
sickness fittings
procured this fascist medium
but know Im laughing in your face
you lie [3x]
you look so seamless now
take me
take my life
the surface is so cold and worthless
all the things that I have still come from there
so paint your windows in front of my face
when you know damn well theres
no one behind them
I wish your body was not so warm to me
just so you know
all it was was something beautiful
when tides and dreams dont seem so tall at all
its me against the world still Im losing ground
Id kill to taste what it must be like
cause its every one of my empty parts
that you fill now
I wish your body was not so warm to me
just so you know
all it was was something beautiful
when tides and dreams dont seem so tall at all
pause silence
another moment dropped off
left behind and
hanging still
you wont see me
I cant see you
all it was was something beautiful
when tides and dreams dont seem so tall at all
burn the bed
consummated
rest the head
it just holds us back now
still she keeps on looking
of course [2x]
nows theres nothing I hate as much
wet the lips
shut your pretty mouth
use the kiss
tommorrow fails to exist
still she keeps on looking
of course [2x]
now theres nothing I
it all surfaces in this light
words under my breath
taking my time
breaking your smile
feed the wish
let it flourish
head for shore
let me haunt you
still she keeps on looking
now theres nothing I hate as much [2x]
I will sleep
(It all surfaces in this light)
throughout the infection
fast asleep
where nothing can find me
words under my breath
taking my time
breaking your smile
everyone goes away
I cant even try
I watched you slip away
My throat is dry when I
(stain it)
keep the hate alive
(abuse it)
your lips are tight when I
(to keep it from)
cover them with mine
(running you)
this is a sickness
(need it)
you cannot conceive
(mistreat it)
it takes the quiet
(its all thats left)
to not exceed
(breathe in, bleed out)
where is your comfort now
its on the way out
where are your reasons now
theyre all worn out
My throat is tight when I
(pull it)
keep the hate alive
(push it)
your lips are dry when I
(tie it up in)
cover them with mine
(knots and)
Its an affliction
(lose it)
nothing comes to mind
(let go of it)
Its unstrategic
(all to keep it soft and cold)
nothing comes to mind
(breathe in,bleed out)
where is your comfort now
its on the way out
where are your reasons now
theyre all worn out
Im above everything else
saved the ones that shouldnt be
hold on to them all so youll
find yourself away from me
our lost faith strung out on a line
my most empathetic dreams of you
the sorry excuses on which we dine
when all my fears tell me its true
borrowed dreams of some imagined future
all wrapped up inside this borrowed hope
dont manipulate the most
beautiful thing youll ever know
to the extent of saving your
ragged torn out sickly show
holding my head above the fold
cant decide which side I want
I buried everything so deep in the cold
now I stop inside of the lies I flaunt
borrowed dreams of some imagined future
all wrapped up inside this borrowed hope
pull it all away from me
show me all the things I can
never be allowed to see
its all so far away
if you must have faith in someone
trust that Ill push you away
if you must have faith in someone
trust that Ill push you away
what am I if
the flies all stick to me
what am I if
the maggots live in me
what am I if
Im closet to the stink
what am I if
youre all thats real to me
WHAT!AM!I!
teach me just show me
break everything flush it away
teach me just show me
the starts already over
break everything and
FLUSH IT AWAY!
lead me around
nurse my broken wing
with all the promises
you can never honor
I just dont care enough
to react to vain attempts
sent only to perpetuate
one's selfish little world
you wont see what ive become
youll wait and watch and still
youre only let down
a violent reaction
struggling only to keep myself alive
now here I stand
for nothing no one at all
I lead you down
begging to touch you in the cold
you give me a reason
I will not be the one
through all the nonsense
there is a constant
you wont see what ive become
youll wait and watch and still
youre only let down
cause this feeling
has dawned the face of you
a violent reaction
struggling only to keep myself alive
you wont see what ive become
cause this feeling
has dawned the face of you
a violent reaction
struggling only to keep myself alive
freedom is everything
resolve impossible
you prayed for rain
ignoring the flood
you took me with you
to heaven
back again
bleed to remember
that everything ends
blind and looking forward
I can see the shapes
but cant make out the faces
still they come in close
excuse this ugly shell my
gaping holes drip pride
a systematic shutdown
of diminishing returns
NOTHING GETS EASIER GETS! [2X]
I held you down
on the day of the lord
31 marks like the day
I was born
I called you beautiful
before I knew you
watch me destroy it
set myself free
still so dead and frozen
we all survive it
restraints brought
back for color
the most insulting guilt
such sweet attractive layers
let me remove them all
NOTHING GETS EASIER GETS! [2X]
bring me home
let me down
send me back
collecting the phases
the less I give
its easier
the more we give
its nothing
NOTHING GETS NOTHING!
Have you any idea
What it's like to be me
Watching you succeed and move forward
All my wasted time, tensing in anticipation
My thought process
Full grown and worthless
Safe when nobody is in your heart now
Take everything you can get your hands on
Save me save me from this yearning yet again
I have become what I always knew
I have become what I always knew
Every salvageable breath choked off in fear
I am the last thing I'll ever expect from me
Safe when nobody is in your heart now
Take everything you can get your hands on
Save me save me from this yearning yet again
Have you any idea
What its like to be me
This most unwitting occurrence
Is indeed about you
So take it
Or chalk it up
All the others before me
Can give what I doubt
Take what I've taken
The three of threes
Professes you to me
Challenging and the favour will be
Paid in full
Pounds of flesh
In perfect dress
Take what I've taken
This most unwitting occurrence
Is indeed about you
So take it
Or chalk it up
All these others before me
Can't doubt
What's killing you
Wells from inside
Atonement for the waste
Pleasure in one more accolade
Prehensive doubt prehensive ...
One day I know when I see you
Far from these days that beat us
Far from my habits perfect prison
One day, I know when I see you
Far from these days that beat us
Far from my habits perfect prison
She said that you dress like an American
Which I took as a compliment
How ignorant of me
No sense and no excuse in philosophy
Can I get my cable here, the land of nothing's free
There's nothing good on TV
And nobody loves you like me
You're not a part of this scene, she said
Don't take it personal
You're photogenic but you're ugly in life
Oh no!
She said don't take it personal
Dramatic over load where we used to run
This is not the kind of fun I'd trust my memory
There's nothing good on TV
And nobody loves you like me
You're not a part of this scene, she said
Don't take it personal
You're photogenic but you're ugly inside
Oh no!
Can you see me through the mud in your eyes
It's alright, much better if we try
Nobody wins
She said, don't take it personal
But you're still breathing
Still sorry, still documenting your still life
Still kissing, still wishing good luck to enemies
There's nothing good on TV
And nobody loves you like me
You're not a part of this scene
Don't take it personally
I'm alone but I'm a part of the world
You're just a spoilt little girl
Take me away if you could
She said, don't take it personal
You're photogenic but you're ugly in life
Don't take it personal
Can you see me through the mud in your eyes
Don't take it personal
You're photogenic but you're ugly inside
Oh no
I'm not afraid to taste your fist, I'm not afraid to taste your fist,
I'm gonna run under again, I'm gonna run under again
Drip drip from my chin, Drip drip from my chin
I'm gonna run under again, I'm gonna run under again
Your head is as numb as your face, Your head is as numb as your face
I'm gonna learn american, I'm gonna learn american
Your name is in search of a friend, Your name is in search of a friend
I'm gonna learn american, I'm gonna learn american
Pow pow, drip drip, (oh-oh) Pow pow, drip drip, (oh-oh) Pow pow, drip drip, From my chin, To the ground

I took a stroll on a Saturday nightIt was the first
spring of a new millennium
The city was feverish
Flush with Cold War successes
And stock market excesses
And I could feel it in the air
I was at the very center
Of a new civilization
So I walked a little taller and I walked proud
Because I'm an American
Suddenly swept by a crowd
They were chanting with one voice
In protest of what they saw was wrong
That's when the cops moved in
And the hammer came down
And I heard the thud
Of nightsticks meeting skulls
And I saw the blood in pools on the asphalt
And I felt the outrage
That swelled through the crowd
But I stood my crowd
Because I'm an American
What would you do
Would you hide behind your white skin
While the men in blue
Rich get richer and the poor stay stuck
And in the big picture we all turn to dust
All of us claim the system's corrupt
And all of us scream "In God We Trust"
Open your eyes on the American Dream
Where the sun beams on the beauty between
On the roots that make this whole life pristine
Corner to the countryside, peasants to kings
40 some million stonewalled from health care
Liberal millionaires advocating welfare
Pro-life "rights" supporting capital punishment
And apathetic college kids who whine about the government
Rich get richer and the poor stay stuck
And in the big picture we all turn to dust
All of us claim the system's corrupt
And all of us scream "In God We Trust"
Born from the blood, sweat, and tears of immigrants
And the stardust that gave us our innocence
The downfall's the colossus of war
Where we don't have a clue what the hell we're fighting for
How many more Atefahs is it gonna take?
Until we awake and realize that hate
Ain't our necessary fate and take responsibility
For the world we wanna create, it's not a sin to be
Whatever you are - don't be a wannabe
All you gotta do is be what you wanna be
And bend with the shots in a land where Tarantino's
Deified and sex is evil
I'd rather have my kid make love for a living
That's a lot better than making a living killing
How we treat our troops' homecoming is evidence
We need to go back to holding memories like elephants
Rich get richer... poor stay stuck
