runnin' from the law

playing rock and roll
on a friday night
a noise complaint
turned into a fight
the neighbors were loud
and disturbed our crowd
we played some more
and they stormed the door

we didn't do nothin'
hey hey hey
but now we're runnin'
and hidin'

cops got on stage
and they pulled my hair
kicked 'em in the balls
(???)
that amp is mine
it shows how they find
you can call me a tramp
don't unplug my amp

we didn't do nothin'
hey hey hey
but now we're runnin'
and hidin'

runnin' from the law
runnin'
runnin' from the law

i drink

i drink, i get drunk and fall on my face
all my friends tell me i'm a basket case
i drink, i get drunk and fall on my face

i got so drunk
i don't remember what happened
what everybody said
i had a real good time

i drink, i get drunk and fall on my face
all my friends tell me i'm a basket case
i drink, i get drunk and fall on my face

went to a bar
met a guy -- he bought me white russians
i puked outside in the parking lot
while he tried to kiss me

seein' blurry
talkin' slurry
feelin' queasy
this is sleazy

i drink, i get drunk and fall on my face
all my friends tell me i'm a basket case
i drink, i get drunk and fall on my face

i went for drinks in hollywood
came to somewhere in hawethorne
drug up a bush, drove into a tree
and rolled down a hill with my mouth wide open

seein' blurry
talkin' slurry
feelin' queasy
this is sleazy

SMELL THE MAGIC

(chorus)

fast and frightening

her glance hits me like lightning
i heard that girl is fast and frightening
dirty hair and a laugh that's mean
her neighbors call her an evil machine

she's fast, she's free
she's frightening
she's fast, she's free
she's frightening

popping wheelies on her motorbike
straight girls wish they were dykes
she'll do anything on a dare
mom and daddy's worst nightmare

(chorus)

down at the creek smoking pot
she eats the roach so she don't get caught
throws her mini off in the halls
got so much clit she don't need no balls

(chorus)

hate the way these morons drive
right on thru
let the wheels (?) 455

right on thru
it don't matter where you hide
right on thru
because reality always crashes inside

right on thru
screw you!

deathwish

she wakes up wet in a shower stall
soaked together, bangs her head on a wall
she goes hitchhiking at 3 a.m.
bruised and bloody, does it over again

she's got a deathwish
in a self-destructive blitz

he's got a car that goes real fast
he's got a life but it won't last
doesn't even look disturbed
when his Chevy takes out the curb

he's got a deathwish
coming home is a hit or a miss
he's got a deathwish
in a self-destructive blitz

passed out drunk on the living room floor
gets up and pukes so she can drink some more
and evening's party out in the fringe
turns into a two-week binge

she's got a deathwish
coming home is a hit or a miss
she's got a deathwish
in a self-destructive blitz

'till the wheels fall off

you and me 'till the wheels fall off

you and me, we just fit
i'm addicted and i can't quit

you and me 'till the wheels fall off

... (???)
... (???)

you and me 'till the wheels fall off

you and me, we just fit
i'm addicted and i can't quit

you and me 'till the wheels fall off

people say you're (?)
i don't care, let's go, go, go

you and me 'till the wheels fall off

i'm gonna lay right here right now
and i ain't gonna grovel

don't wanna drown in american society (x 3)

BRICKS ARE HEAVY

wargasm

wargasm, wargasm, one two three
tie a yellow ribbon 'round the amputee
masturbate, watch it on tv
crocodile tears for the refugees

wargasm, wargasm, one two three
smutty bloody pictures, ecstasy
blue balls waiting impatiently
from alcatraz to lady liberty

body bags and dropping bombs
the pentagon knows how to to turn us on

wargasm wargasm one two three
pit bull, pit bull, one two three
wave those flags high in the air
as long as it takes place over there

[yodels courtesy of Yoko Ono]

wargasm, wargasm, wargasm, wargasm

body bags and dropping bombs
the pentagon knows how to turn us--
turn us on

turn us on, wargasm
turn us on, wargasm

scrap

I met a skinhead named Scrap
He lived in my friend's garage
every day he's shaking that spray paint can
and comes out seein' stars

grab a paper bag like an oxygen mask
until your mind starts to gel
cause the ball in the can
has a crazy beat
the funky dying brain cell

so he met some christians from hell
who said, "let's go to vegas man"
so he packed up his leather and his red beret
into that big, bad christian van

use revival meetings like an oxygen tent
'til your mind starts to gel
cause the preacher thumps the bible
with a crazy beat
the funky dying brain cell

well, he came back to the garage
but the garage it wasn't there
and he dug metallic gold more than luke and john
now he's growing his hair

grab a paper bag like an oxygen mask
until your mind starts to gel
cause the ball in the can
has a crazy beat
the funky dying brain cell

pretend we're dead

what's up with what's going down
in every city, in every town
cramping styles is the plan
they've got in the palm of their big hands

when we pretend that we're dead
when we pretend that we're dead
they can't hear a word we've said
when we pretend that we're dead

turn the tables with our unity
they're neither moral nor majority
wake up and smell the coffee
or just say no to individuality

(chorus)

c'mon c'mon

(chorus)

diet pill

my diet pill is wearing off
my diet pill is wearing off

'cause Victor's in the bed
sewn in the sheets with thread
the twins are in the car
the frying pan is red

Calgon can't take me away
no, Calgon can't take me away
from the things i did today

'cause Victor's in the bed
sewn in the sheets with thread
the twins are in the car
the frying pan is red

i'm outta here
i'm so outta here
i'm outta here

i think the swelling is going down
i said i think that the swelling is going down
two hundred dollars to leave this town

'cause Victor's in the bed
sewn in the sheets with thread
the twins are in the car
the frying pan is red

i'm outta here
i'm so outta here
i'm outta here

everglade

glade told her ma, "home scene's lame,
"i gotta go into town, blow some steam at the rock show"
sneak through the back door and head for the pit
then some drunk stupid bruiser started giving her shit

rednecks on parade
don't cross my line
says everglade
everglade

he was whipping through the pit
knocked her into the stage
she said, "have your fun,
"but stop being so lame"
the guy was drunk, stupid
and he must have weighed a ton
said "get out of here girly,
"i'm just trying to have some fun"
so you wanna have some fun
well, break out the big guns

rednecks on parade
don't cross my line
says everglade
everglade (rpt.)

he kept it up,
his fists started flying
she dodged each punch
as he kept trying
tripped on his own feet
and hit the floor
glade got to pushin'
and rolled him out the door

so you wanna have some fun
then break out the big guns
rednecks on parade
don't cross my line
says everglade
everglade

slide

i put your stuff
out on the porch
(letting it slide)
you pissed in your pants
and put out the torch
(letting it slide)
you splattered the bathroom
with your hair dye
i'm kicking you out
and you know why

yeah, i've been letting it slide
you've been along for the ride

you put your cane
right thorugh my amp
(letting it slide)
when it comes to losers
you're the champ
(letting it slide)
from my garden
i'll pull your weed
(letting it slide)
you're stupid, evil
i will not feed
no

yeah, i've been letting it slide
you've been along for the ride
yeah, i've been letting it slide
you've been a thorn in my side

(first verse)

(chorus)

get on out of here boy
it took me three weeks to clean that bathroom
you know amps don't grow on trees

one more thing

i've just about had enough
i'm drowing from too much stuff
i get scared when the telephone rings
someone talking about one more thing

yeah, one more thing
one more thing to put in line
one more thing to waste my time
one more thing that i can't take
one more thing i'm gonna break

You need more, well get in line
too many things grabbing at my time
I'll tell you brother right out flat
I'm gonna have to throw you back

(chorus)

i fix my enging and my tire goes flat
it's one more thing that i can't have
politics messing with my rights
there's nothing fun to do tonight

(chorus)

mr. integrity

stranded in the streets of san francisco
a rust car pulled along side of me
i looked behind the wheel
and i started to squeal
an idol's face was staring at me

don't preach to me
mr. integrity

sittin' shotgun,
out of my brain
our muffler draggin'
through the art ghettos
stepped on the gas
gums started to flap
punk rock manifestoes
spittin', fumin',
streets are filled with so much glass
that i wanted to break
eyes spinnin' 'round
as my feet shook the ground
like the san francisco earthquake

don't preach to me
mr. integrity
don't preach to me
mr. integrity
i'm not the enemy
please don't preach to me
mr. integrity

(repeat first two verses)

don't preach to me
mr. integrity
i'm not the enemy-- no
please don't preach to me
mr. integrity

monster

come on over
it's getting late
it's time to fish
no time to cut bait
ghoulish passion you inspire
with your kind of trouble
i'll never tire

monster
(monster in me)
bring out the monster
(monster in me)
monster
(monster in me)
bring out the monster
(monster in me)
you bring out
the monster in me

in a world is full of disposable icons
all the jokers with the phoney come-ons
I know I can depend on you
cause when we're together, we're hurtin' crew

(chorus)

we don't need to look for trouble
my partner in crime, my insanity double
when life takes a turn from bad to worse
you're always there, my loveable curse

shitlist

when i get mad
and i get pissed
i grab my pen
and i write out a list
of all the people
that won't be missed
you've made my shitlist

for all the ones
who bum me out
shitlist
for all the ones
who fill my head with doubt
shitlist
for all the squares who get me pissed
shitlist
you've made my shitlist

shitlist

when i get mad

shitlist
i grab my pen
and write out a list

this ain't pleasure

no raving beauty
she's got a good heart
he's got escaping
down to an art

this ain't pleasure
don't ask why
this ain't pleasure
and monkeys can't fly

she's an infection
a stain on his soul
he's her addiction
they're out of control

this ain't pleasure
don't ask why
this ain't pleasure
and monkeys can't fly

HUNGRY FOR STINK

Andres

down in North Hollywood
there's a guy with long hair
and he's really, really nice
but we had a problem

Andres
i'm sorry

the key is stuck in the lock
and we need some a.c.
it's burning up in here
we've got something to tell you

Andres
i'm sorry

baggage

i'm lookin' old today
in a very sort of jaded way
very cynical and hard
weeds all over my yard
I can't remember the summer
it's all a blur, yeah
it's been pilin' high
it's been pilin' up so goddamn high

now I've got baggage

I'm probably tagged for life
my self-righteous eyes
wanna close the book
it's got nothing to do with the looks
can't keep it together, losin' my grip
yeah, i've been sinking down
time to abandon ship

it's hard to swim with baggage

my friends are all strangers
they stopped calling weeks ago
but guilt's a heavy load
it's a very very heavy load

packed in my baggage

can i run

are these sensible shoes on my feet
i wear my shades so our eyes don't meet
i'm scared every fuckin' day
i wear my headphones so i can't hear what you say

can i run
switch to paranoid from having fun
will he use his hands, knife, or a gun
knuckles are white, wrapped around my mace
comes from living in a terrorist state

can i run

when he's following me
he's not my brother,he's my enemy
is he behind the door or in back of the tree
is he under the bed, is he in the back street

can i run

the bomb

plastic people with their plastic lives
plastic lips tell plastic lies
plastic drivers in plastic cars
plastic food from plastic jars

frustration is the fuse
the flame is hate
tick tick tick
detonate
she's the bomb

plastic models in plastic magazines
plastic kings and plastic queens
all are seen on plastic tvs
prayed to by people on bended plastic knees

what you think, well that's good too
but not as much as what do you do
this fuse burns slow
waiting to blow
the world is a heavy load
watch it explode

lawmakers with plastic policies
put plastic locks on their cities
in hopes to keep them quiet
well go off
well blow up

questioning my sanity

i'm saving my piss in a jar
this depression has gone too far
i'm lying here in bed
am i alive or am i dead

i'm questioning my sanity

the paint chips are kicking in
desperation bubbles my skin
there's stuff crawling on the floor
crackers with black books knocking at my door

the tv's talking to me
i'm questioning my sanity

everybody have a breakdown!

i haven't changed my clothes in weeks
i'm wallowing in my own stink
my ass is sore from lying in bed
am i alive or am i dead?

riding with a movie star

riding with a movie star!

stuck here again

i'm good at feeling bad
i'm even better at feeling worse
some would say life is a charm
i'm convinced it is a curse

yeah yeah i'm stuck here again
i've learned to make
bad situations my friend
it starts all over
just when it should end
yeah yeah i'm stuck here again

here comes that familiar pain again
i'm low down, i'm feeling ill
yeah yeah i'm stuck here again
is there someone i could kill

fuel my fire

i've got a word of thanks
thanks that i'd like to say
for the rage that i feel
for the rage that i feel today
gotta stack gotta stack
stack of chips on my shoulder
in everything i do
cause i made i made im made
the mistake the mistake of trusting you

people like you just fuel my fire
people like you just fuel, yeah

my layers are thick
and i got a bad attitude
yeah that knife in my back
has fingerprints that belong to you
gotta grudge gotta grudge gotta grudge
that i'm holding for you
as long as i live
'cause you lied you lied you lied
and that's something that i can't forgive
you liar

people like you just fuel my fire
people like you just fuel, yeah

freak magnet

liars, losers, coming at me
what i need is sanctuary
minding my own business
getting in my face
violating my personal space

freak magnet
jerk appeal

something about you
is so not right
nightmare, nightmare
in the daylight
asking for my number
you wanna give me a call
but i've got your message
written on the wall

freak magnet
jerk appeal

always bugging me
why don't you get a clue
'cause i don't want to
talk to you
i know that look in your eye
i've seen it before
i've given you all of my change
but you want something more

freak magnet
jerk appeal

she has eyes

i am sick of her attacks
can't help but i've fallen back
i believe in what she says
i rent space in her head

she has eyes made for crying
(weaponry)

when she can't lie to get approved
lost time and far removed
can't afford to keep it used
i'm getting ready to (?)

she has eyes made for crying
(weaponry)

when she hits those hits are so hard
weeping is her first playing card
and i believe she believes
in what she says
this is my last time in her head

shirley

[welcome the first lady to try and qualify in an NHRA-dragster competition -- Shirley Muldowney!]

feels so real
crushing the steering wheel
how many times
must we toe this line
halting me
is a fantasy

[cha-cha! call her cha-cha!]
[what's drag racing coming to?]

how many times must you be told
there's nowhere that we don't go

[she's got good traction!]

[i suggest you find a seat in the grandstands, because you don't want to miss this!]

she's just here wants
what she wants to do

[i wonder if Shirley's got in her to hold that throttle down]

kills your joke
as she's burning smoke

[Shirley Muldowney is pulling ahead... and she takes the red light]

and you will find
crossing the finish line

[Shirley Muldowney has just set a new track record!]

satisfaction!

how much times must you be told
there's nowhere that we don't go

[she's got good traction!]

[Q: what's a beautiful girl like you doing racing in a place like this?]
[A: winning.]

[winning. winning. winning. winning.]

[the lady got through it.]
[winning.]

[what's drag racing coming to?]

how many times must you be told
there's nowhere that we don't go

[Q: what's a beautiful girl like you doing racing in a place like this?]
[A: winning.]

[winning. winning. winning. winning.]
