American Weirdos
02:58
|
|||
Kids in the fast lane, living for today
No rules to abide by and no one to obey
Sex, drugs and fun there’s no room without a care
Another swig of booze, another overnight affair
American weirdos, don’t need no more heroes
American weirdos, don’t need no more heroes
American weirdos, don’t need no more heroes
American weirdos, don’t need no more heroes
Sunrise, late nights, who knows what time of day
We while away the hours as we watch the world decay
Living in shadows is the only thing we know
We never want to leave, we never want to go
American weirdos, don’t need no more heroes
American weirdos, don’t need no more heroes
American weirdos, don’t need no more heroes
American weirdos, don’t need no more heroes

You Just Wait
02:39
|

Abuse of power comes as no surprise
Soon comes the hour you’ll be recognized
You just wait, your time will come
Nothing stays the same for long
Makes no difference how you fight
Secrets find their way to light
The truth is ours and you cannot hide
So run & cower, try to flee the light
You just wait, your time will come
Nothing stays the same for long
Makes no difference how you fight
Secrets find their way to light
The kids are getting wise
Foretelling your demise
Exposing all your lies
Your time has come
Your reign is done
You just wait, your time will come
Nothing stays the same for long
Makes no difference how you fight
Secrets find their way to light

Oh Screw It
02:08
|

You say you’re gonna love me but you don’t show up
All my friends have told me that they think you suck
I keep betting on you but I got no luck
Oh, screw it
I don’t need you anyway
Oh, screw it
I don’t need you
Working too hard at a job I can’t stand
This isn’t what I had planned
I’m walking out today, no money, no man
Oh, screw it
I don’t need you anyway
Oh, screw it
I don’t need you
Death
Makes me turn my neck
From those
Who waste my breath, yeah
If you’re gonna take me for a fool
Then I’ll take the piss right out of you
Oh, death
Makes me go…
Oh, screw it
I don’t need you anyway
Oh, screw it
I don’t need you

Toxic Lies
02:14
|
|||
Swimming in a sea of spies
Drowning in the toxic lies
There’s no lord among these flies
You never know when they’re gonna turn out the light
Running in the growing dark
Ghostly music haunts your heart
The words that tear the world apart
Are written in blood, baby, just out of sight
We might not make it to the end of the night
Out of step with our generation
Out of breath with anticipation
I’m dying, baby, just to see you tonight
We’re too fucked up to put up a fight
A sinking void that sucks in lives
A dismal nitch you cannot hide
The stain of shame upon our pride
A bloody sun rises in the dead of the night
A world in horror stands aside
Drowning in the toxic lies
The wings of death are spreading wide
A bloody sun rises in the dead of the night
We made it through the tunnel but there is no light
Out of step with our generation
Out of breath with anticipation
I’m dying, baby, just to see you tonight
We’re too fucked up to put up a fight
We were too fucked up to live
And far too evil to die
And we had nothing to give
Except a bloody sun rising in the dead of the night

Well the red sky’s moanin’ and the wind is blowing hard
Better take warning, cause this time it’s gone too far
We’ve been smokin’ it more, enjoying it less
We better stop using or there’ll be nothing left
The eyes of defiance are slowly being crushed to death
There’s a fire in the western world
There’s a fire in the western world
House in shambles, tripwire under the door
Eighteen, wasted, trying to hide the crack in the floor
Don’t know what you’re doing, don’t really care
School’s just a miss-hit going nowhere
You’re running for your life
While the scandals are burning the stairs
There’s a fire in the western world
There’s a fire in the western world
Can’t you hear the rooster crowin’ in the dead of the night
Don’t you wanna trash ‘em, jackboots step out of line
It’s a concrete jungle, stones and tears
Fast becoming what everybody fears

Dismal Nitch
04:17
|
|||
Oh, on a foul wind you blow
A dark and swirling undertow
You bring death and call it hope
A dismal nitch, I cast a stone
Into the void
Into the night
Into the dark
Into the black pit you call your soul
Your greed machine will eat
Will eat the world whole
Nobody knows the cost
Of what you stole
And was it worth what you got
When you sold your soul?
I don’t think so
Your greed machine will eat
Will eat the world whole
Oh, bring back that fat old bird of death
Cities fall in his hot breath
A burning wind, he flaps his wings
A dismal nitch, the song he sings
A song of the night
A song of the void
A song of the dark
A song of the black pit you call your soul
Your greed machine will eat
Will eat the world whole
Nobody told you the cost
Of what you stole
And was it worth what you got
When you sold your soul?
I don’t think so
Your greed machine will eat
Will eat the world whole
We will drag the ghosts of the past to the light
We will scream from our graves in the dead of the night
And our voices will echo

Funhouse

You once had a life
You once had a life and you had nothing to do
Do with me
How do we get back to there
These mirrors distort
And there is nothing real here
These mirrors warp
But you can’t filter out your hate
Your vision is dark
Submission the only rule here
You live for this part
This breaking of every truth, dear
Just take it off
That mask it’s crystal clear
These mirrors distort
And there is nothing real here
These mirrors warp
But you can’t filter out your hate
You can’t deny it
Don’t even try it
These mirrors distort
And there is nothing real here
These mirrors warp
But you can’t filter out your hate
You once had a life
You once had a life and you had nothing to do

Exclamation point
Who are you to assume the right?
No
Exclamation point
I can be loose, I can wear something tight
No
Exclamation point
It doesn’t mean I want you tonight
No
Exclamation point
If these red lips are telling you no
Then I mean no
No
I mean no
No
Exclamation point
Who are you to assume consent?
No
Exclamation point
If I can’t stand up, go get bent
No
Exclamation point
If I shake my head, get out of my bed
No
Exclamation point
If I push you away, I’m telling you no
And I mean no
N. O.
I mean no
No you can’t have a hug
No you can’t have a hug
No you can’t have a hug
No you can’t have a hug
No

Invasive Species
04:00
|
|||
You come draggin’ all your baggage around
Leaving a trail of slime on the ground
Devour everything that crosses your path
See how you like the sour grapes of my wrath
There ain’t room for you around here today
Except six feet down in the cold hard clay
You’re not welcome
Invasive species
You go to hell, son
You’re tasteless and creepy
Worship your god made of silicon
Keep moving in til all the locals are gone
Sense of entitlement that knows no bounds
Try to ignore that no one wants you around
You’re doing damage, it’s easy to see
And all I’m thinking when you’re thanking me is
You’re not welcome
Invasive species
You go to hell, son
You’re racist and creepy
There ain’t room for you around here today
Except six feet down in the cold hard clay
You keep on spawning and you spread everywhere
Clouding the waters and fouling the air
Senseless destruction feeds your endless greed
Soon you will run out of the things that you need
Watching you starve and suffocate
I’ll have to laugh at such an obvious fate
And I’ll be free of this disease that I hate
You’re not welcome
Invasive species
You go to hell, son
You’re tasteless and creepy

Can't Anticipate Myself
04:33
|
|||
I never see it clear
Which move I’ll make from here
There’s something underneath
That won’t
It won’t take heed
There’s something underneath
I say one thing, but act on another
There’s no time, no
No time to get it right
I can’t take the blame
I can’t take the shame
I can’t anticipate
Myself
Gave up trying to take advice
Don’t want, don’t want
Don’t want to think twice
Don’t want to think twice
I can’t take the blame
I can’t take the shame
I can’t anticipate
Myself
Told not to be too loud
Told not to be too proud
This mask won’t let me go
You’ll just tell me no
My needs, they don’t fit
Can’t get away with it
I can’t take the blame
I can’t take the shame
I won’t be tamed
Won’t be contained
I can’t anticipate
I can’t anticipate…

Days Of Our Love
04:25
|
|||
The days of our love
Are coming to an end
That day at the river
I just couldn’t pretend
Cause I know I’m leaving
Soon I will be gone
And I know I have to let go
Of your heart and be movin’ on
I saw you in the last rays of the sun
And I knew you were the one
That night I fell for you under the stars
That night I lost my heart
I don’t want it to end this way
I wish I could always stay
A feeling came over
I didn’t know how to say
A fear, it was sober
That our love wouldn’t last the day
Cause I know I have to let go
Of your heart and be movin’ on
I know I’m leaving
Soon I will be gone
I don’t want it to end this way
I wish I could always stay
I don’t want it to end this way
I wish I could always stay
I don’t want it to end this way
I wish I could always stay
I don’t want it to end this way
I’ll come back someday

In a dying world, as the good light fades
And the dregs of hope are drained away
Take my hand, I’ll take your name
We’ll stumble forth to the end of days
We’re facing foes we’ve never known
From ages past and those to come
The days that pass shall not return
Love me til the last as the world burns
The stakes are high, little darling
Ain’t never been so high before
So hold me tight til the morning
And we’ll ride at the dawn
And we’ll fight for a world
That don’t have long
There’s a giant wheel turning in the sky
An old kaleidoscope of time
Don’t gaze too long, you might lose your mind
You never know what you will find
And we are running out of time
The stakes are high, little darling
Ain’t never been so high before
So hold me tight til the morning
And we’ll ride at the dawn
And we’ll fight for a world
That don’t have long
It’s not too late for the world to change
Love and compassion could still reign
But we don’t have long
And we must be strong
And we will laugh away our pain
So tell me one more time
What’s your name?
